Kaleo logging error with Oracle: ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column

• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Fixed
• Affects Version/s: 6.1.20 EE GA2, 6.1.30 EE GA3
• Fix Version/s: 6.2.0 CE RC1
• Component/s: Business Productivity, Business Productivity > Kaleo Workflow Forms
• Labels: None
• Fix Priority: 3
• Git Pull Request: https://github.com/hhuijser/liferay-plugins/pull/128

The problem is Comment_ column of KaleoLog table has the type VARCHAR2 in Oracle. The maximum size of that is 4000 bytes, but if an exception is thrown during script execution the whole script is included in the comment_ field and it can easily exceed the 4000 byte limitation.

Result: You will get three error messages: "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column". However the third one is a bigger one, which indicates that the kaleo logging procedure failed to write to the database (see attachment).
