message length

message length

I amb not getting all of my message detail in my alerts. i was given an answer on how to do this but it didn't work. here is what i was given

Hi,

Please follow the steps to increase the length of the alarm.

1)Enter into opmanager database

:\>mysql.exe -u root -P 13306 opmanagerDB;

(You can find mysql.exe under /opmanager/mysql/bin)

2)change the type to text from varchar(200) so that you can store the entire message.

mysql>alter table event change TEXT TEXT text;

mysql>alter table alert change MMESSAGE MMESSAGE text ;
