How do I add an extra (site) column to a content type on a large environment (~500gb, loads of documents).
I've have tried using the UI but that failed halfway the operation due to a time-out. Now some list-contentypes have this extra field and some don't. (luckily it was a test environment).
Will a feature with activation logic do the trick or will that also timeout?
What other options do I have?
Background
An extra field, Classification
(Choice, Required) needs to be added to each and every document. In that field the company wide classification has to be stored, which in turn is used by an Archiving application. Since it is needed on every document in every list, the field must be added to the Document ContentType (0x0101
).
All content is in one sitecollection (I know....), using moss.
