SAK-588: Oracle performance tuning and tracking: convert LONG columns to CLOB
Access Level: 
Any tester can run some steps; 
admin access required for some steps
Test Description: The smartsite-test database server was recently updated to convert long text fields to a different format. This new format enhances performance by allowing Oracle to shrink space for reclamation and to allow the fields to be searched more easily.
The update affects the following tools: Announcements, Assignments, Chat Room, Discussion Forum, Email Archive, Resources, and Schedule.
Test Steps
To test this update, you simply need to verify that each of these tools still work and are unaffected by the database change. This may require adding tools to a site where you are an instructor or logging in using one of the sakaiinst or sakaistu accounts. You may need to ask a smartsite-test admin to create a new site for you as an Instructor to test adding new tools to a course.

Send an email to that address and verify that it is received in the email archive tool. | User able to successfully send an email to the course via the Email Archive tool. | MAILARCHIVE_CHANNEL XML MAILARCHIVE_MESSAGE XML |
Resources |
| Log in as the new user you created and verify that you can add a file or URL to Resources in My Workspace. | New user's Resources successfully added. | CONTENT_COLLETION XML |
Resources |
| Log in as any user and add a file or URL via Resources in My Workspace or a course or project site. | New file or URL successfully added to Resources. | CONTENT_RESOURCE XML |

Test for SAK-598
SAK-598: Convert SmartSite production database to UTF-8 character encoding
Access Level: Any tester can run this test
Test Description: The SmartSite production server is pending an upgrade to recognize UTF-8 characters; http://smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu is already upgraded. The initial test will verify that you are able to test the failure to display special characters on the production server. After the upgrade, you will verify that the production server now displays these characters correctly.
Test Steps: Test As Any User with ability to enter data online, for example, in Chat or Message Center or Tests & Quizzes
- Log into Smartsite-test.ucdavis.edu in one window and smartsite.ucdavis.edu in another window or tab.
- Select a tool in a course or project site that you have in common in both systems. The following steps will use Discussion Forum as an example
- Open another window or tab to the following UTF-8 Sampler website: http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html
- Create a message (or enter data in another tool) by copying and pasting foreign language text from the sampler page. For example, copy the Greek phrase for "I can eat glass" into both browsers.
- Keep a list of the phrase and languages you used and continue this process until you've identified 3-5 languages which are displayed correctly on test and fail on the production server, smartsite.ucdavis.edu. Failure to interpret and display properly will be indicated by upside-down "?" or by a box character.
- Keep this list so that you can repeat this test after the production server is upgraded. Your repeat test will be verification that the production server upgrade is successful.
