1 Introduction
These Release Notes describe updates and last-minute changes in OpenText Content Server.
OpenText recommends that you read these Release Notes in conjunction with the documentation
included with the software package. If conflicts exist, the Release Notes supersede the other
documentation.
We also recommend that you check the OpenText Knowledge Center
(https://knowledge.opentext.com/) for any patches or documentation updates that may have been
posted after the initial release of Content Server 10.0.0.
The Content Server Release Notes are revised frequently to incorporate corrections, and to reflect
any changes that may occur with each Update.
The current format for Content Server 10.0.0 Release Notes was first adopted with the delivery of
Update 6 in March 2012. The information contained in the Appendices for Updates prior to Update 6
is not comprehensive.
4.1

Chrome
Chrome announced that NPAPI support will be removed from Chrome. The Content Server Print
feature is dependent on NPAPI. If you upgrade to a version of the browser where NPAPI is no
longer supported then the Print functionality will not work.
The Short Links section on the General properties page does not include options to Copy. Only
Internet Explorer allows access to the clipboard, so it is not possible to add this feature to the
other browsers. As a workaround, users can copy and paste the links that appear below the list of
options.

Mozilla announced that Plugins, written using NPAPI, are now a legacy technology. The
Content Server Print feature is dependent on NPAPI. If you upgrade to a version of the browser
where NPAPI is no longer supported then the Print functionality will not work.

Virtualized Environments: OpenText Content Server is supported for use with the server operating
systems listed in the previous section. The supported server operating systems may be installed on
physical or virtual hosts. Customers that choose to use a virtual environment are encouraged to
select a virtualization platform intended for production systems and known to be fully supported by the
server operating system vendor.
14
Please note that Content Server is a resource-intensive application and will require at least the same
amount of resources in a virtual environment as it would in a physical environment. Therefore,
additional resource scaling may be required to maintain the same level of performance in a virtual
environment as observed in physical environment
Service Packs and Point Releases: Due to the continual release of software, there may be newer
versions of software components than those listed in these Release Notes. It is OpenTexts policy to
support service packs and minor point releases of supported software platform components that are
more recent than those listed in the Release Notes. New major releases of platform components are
not automatically supported.
Operating System Patch Level: The current set of patches recommended by your operating system
software vendor should be installed on the hardware running your Content Server.
5.1
Dependencies
The minimum requirements for Content Server can change with each Update. Changes can occur in
the requirements for the operating system components, or minimum installation requirements of other
OpenText or third-party software. Review Appendix C to ensure that dependencies are met for the
Update being installed before attempting to install Content Server or apply an Update.
5.2
Critical Patches
Occasionally, changes that must be made cannot be incorporated into the Update. In this event,
OpenText will issue Critical Patches that must be applied as part of the Update. These Critical
15
Patches must be applied after installation of the files, but before using Content Server. Review
Appendix A to identify required patches.
In addition, you should review the OpenText Knowledge Center to identify other available patches that
you may need to apply.
5.3
Help Files
OpenText requires that you delete and recreate the Help Data Source Folder whenever you add or
remove language packs, or when the system default locale is modified.
The reason for the requirement is that during the creation of a help data source, Content Server
stores the set of currently installed language packs. This list is used to correctly associate a system
language with its corresponding help files within the search index. This ensures that searches within
User Help or Admin Help will only search the help files corresponding to the current users system
language of choice.
When a new language pack is installed, the Help and Admin Help data sources need to be deleted
and recreated.
If the language pack is already installed and an Update patch or Service Pack is being applied, you
only need to start the Directory Walker of the help data sources to update them.
5.4
Language Packs
A new installation and most Updates include changes to text contained in the Language Packs. If you
are using Language Packs, which are needed for language support other than English, you must
obtain and install the relevant Language Pack as part of the installation process.
6.1
1. Some Update levels of Content Server will require installation of a Critical Patch for correct
functionality. Refer to Appendix A.
2. With IIS you may experience issues with features that use .properties files. For example you
may see an HTTP Error 404 - File or Directory not found.
16
To resolve this you should configure IIS to recognize files with the .properties extension as
application/octet-stream by performing the following steps:
a) In the IIS Microsoft Management Console (MMC), right-click the local computer name, and
then click Properties.
b) Click MIME Types.
c) Click New.
d) In the Extension box, type the .properties file extension.
e) In the MIME Type box, type application/octet-stream.
f) Apply the new settings. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service or wait for the worker
process to recycle for the changes to take effect.
You should also configure IIS to recognize files with the .tlx and .clx extensions by performing the
following steps:
a) Locate the virtual directory for the Enterprise Server support files in IIS.
b) Navigate to the Properties Page of the virtual directory.
c) Select the HTTP Headers tab.
d) Click Add.
e) Add the .tlx and .clx file extensions.
f) Click OK.
3. On Windows, if you are logged in as a "named" user (not the Administrator user) with
administrative privileges and you have Windows UAC (User Account Control) enabled then
you will receive the error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A script
required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or
package vendor." during the installation. To work around this issue, you must select the
executable, bring up the context menu, and then select 'Run as Administrator' which will run
the install with elevated privileges.
4. Apache Tomcat treats URLs as case sensitive, unlike IIS or Sun ONE Web servers. For
example, with Tomcat, the following URLs are considered to be different:
https://my_host_name/path_name/cs.exe
https://my_host_name/Path_Name/cs.exe
5. Do not alter the standard permission set on the Document Undelete Volume (for Public
Access and Domain groups) to See and Add Items. If you do, the affected users will be
unable to delete documents. (1710973 and LPAD-13683)
6. When installing Content Server, you must configure your antivirus software to exclude the
Content Server installation directory and all subdirectories, as well as the directories that
contain the Content Server search index files. (1602027 and LPAD-13625)
7. Access to the Uninstall Modules page requires a Content Server login, not just an
administration login. (1963600 and LPAD-10376)
17
8. When you install one or more modules that require configuration during installation (such as
Spider, Electronic Signature) together with one or more other modules, some of the modules
may fail to install. You can go back to the Install Module page to install them. (1648347 and
LPAD-13652)
9. Administrators should review the settings for all auditable events after upgrading Content
Server as well as after installing or upgrading modules, as there may be additional available
events after the upgrade. (LPAD-14800)
10. Before installing and configuring an application server for use with Content Server in a Secure
Extranet environment, a Java development environment must be installed. A JRE (Java
Runtime Environment) is not sufficient as the application server requires the Java Compiler
(javac), which compiles JSP pages into class files. This component is a part of the Java 2
Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE). For the supported version of the Java 2 Platform, see
Supported Environments and Compatibility on page 8. (LPAD-16820)
11. When configuring Content Server to use Secure Extranet Architecture (SEA), 'filterPath=n'
(where 'n' is the path to /filters directory for the Content Server installation) must be added to
the [filters] section of the opentext.ini for the servlet to load properly. (LPAD-16852)
12. For version 10.0.0 of Content Server, My Home functionality was removed. However, My
Home still appears as a valid option for a default start page on the Server Configuration
Parameters page. (LPAD-22197)
13. It is recommended that modules be installed one at a time. Installing multiple modules at the
same time could result in a "Server Did Not Respond" error. (LPAD-22821)
14. Windows 2008 R2 installation note for non-ASCII characters. There is an issue where MultiFile output functionality does not support non-ASCII chars. All of the chars are converted to
underscore "_" when zip and download is used. This is resolved by kb 2704299 from
Microsoft - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2704299
6.2
1. If you are installing Content Server with a Windows-based Oracle Server, you must create the
Oracle database with a block size of 8K. If the block size is too small, you will receive an error
"maximum key length (758) exceeded" for 2K block size "ORA-01450 maximum key length
(1578) exceeded" for 4K block size when Content Server is creating the index "GIPathIndex"
on "Recd_OperationSummary(1904158 and LPAD-13760)
2. When using an Oracle database with a UTF-8 Content Server, "ENV_NLS_LANG" under
[Lang_en_US] in the opentext.ini must be set to '.AL32UTF8' for Content Server to function
properly. (LPAD-17203)
3. When using Content Server with Microsoft SQL Server, you cannot use a SQL Server
password that contains a semicolon. Attempting to do so will result in an error "Invalid
connection string attribute" from the Microsoft ODBC SQL Server Driver. Use a password that
does not contain semicolon. (1925113 and LPAD-10116)
18
6.3
1. If you intend to use the standard LiveReports 25 Largest Documents and Documents with
the Most Versions on very large databases, you may need to configure the TEMPDB or
SYSLOGS parameters to have sufficient space. (1465877 and LPAD-13584)
6.4
1. If installing Search components on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 and
using SMB2, the Cache Redirector in Windows must be disabled. Microsoft has documented
that this new feature is not compatible with applications that use file-based communication.
Per the Microsoft description here -- http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/ff686200(WS.10).aspx, set or create the following registry keys of type
REG_DWORD to ZERO:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanworkstation\Parameters
DirectoryCacheLifetime=0
FileNotFoundCacheLifetime=0
FileInfoCacheLifetime=0
6.5
1. The OpenText WebDAV module is available as part of a basic Content Server install.
Download and read the OpenText WebDAV 10.0.0 Release Notes that contain more detail
and important information.
6.6
1. Email-enabled Workflow features require eLink to be installed and configured before they are
available for use.
7 Upgrade Notes
Before upgrading from an earlier version of Content Server (or Livelink) to Content Server 10.0.0,
review the following instructions:
1. OpenText currently supports upgrading to Content Server 10.0.0 from Content Server 9.5.0.1
(UTF-8). It is recommended that you visit Content Server 2010 Upgrade Central for
additional information about upgrading to Content Server 10.0.0.
2. When installing Content Server with an existing database, you should disable Notifications
before upgrading. (1647962 and LPAD-13656)
19
3. The Content Server database must be backed up before an upgrade is attempted. If the
database upgrade fails, the reason for the failure can be analyzed and resolved, and the
upgrade can be rolled back and started again from the beginning. OpenText does not
recommend restarting a failed database upgrade, as this will leave steps in the upgrade in an
incomplete state. (LPAD-14354)
4. The Database Upgrade Status page may incorrectly display the message, "The database
upgrade has completed successfully" when, in fact, there were errors reported. Scrolling
down the log will reveal non-fatal errors. The dbupgrade and thread logs should be reviewed
after upgrading Content Server to assess possible errors. If any errors are found, discontinue
the upgrade and contact OpenText Customer Support. (LPAD-14786)
5. When upgrading to Content Server 10.0.0, if the upgrade converts a varchar(4000) or similar
column type to a CLOB, LiveReports that use ORDER BY, UNION, GROUP BY, or any other
method of sorting or mass-comparison on the resulting CLOB (i.e. the former varchar(4000)
columns) will require type conversion using DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(). (LPAD-24363)
6. When upgrading to Content Server 10.0.0, a manual change must be made to the
opentext.ini file before connecting to an existing database. The following lines must be
removed from the opentext.ini file:
dftConnection=databasename
HaveValidatedDBAdminServers=TRUE
Also, the following sections must also be removed:
[dbconnection:databasename]
[DBUPGRADE]
7. When upgrading to Content Server 10.0.0, the Facets Volume must be manually created after
connecting and upgrading the database. The following must be set in the opentext.ini file
[general] section before running the command:
HaveValidatedFacetsVolume=false
While logged in as the Content Server Admin user, run the following command to create the
Facets Volume:
?func=admin.AutoCreateFacets
When upgrading to Content Server 10.0.0, the Facets Volume must be manually created after
connecting and upgrading the database. The following must be set in the opentext.ini file
[general] section before running the command:

12 Appendix C Dependencies
This section contains information about changes in environmental dependencies. Some Updates will
require that certain modules are upgraded to a minimum version level, or that new environmental
requirements be met. As part of applying an Update, you must ensure that these module upgrades or
environmental changes are also applied.

If you are using Oracle 11g, a minimum patch level of 11.2.0.3 should
be used to avoid known Oracle client performance and Oracle server
functional issues.

If you are using Remote Search, you must install the latest Remote
Search patch for compatibility with Update 6 (pat100000259).
A Content Web Services security fix was made that requires Microsoft
.NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 or later. Systems hosting the
.NET web services will need Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service
Pack 1 or later installed. Applying this update without .NET Framework
3.5 SP1 or later installed will cause web services requests to fail.
This is the minimum Update level of Content Server required for use
with OpenText Federated Query Server 10.
CKEditor 3.1 was updated to CKEditor 3.5.3. CoP and Wiki modules
must be updated with the latest patches.

If the ListNodes function is accessed, the new default settings will be automatically configured in
Content Server.

4. System Attributes Advanced Search: New search criteria on the Advanced Search page
are now available for MIME type and Content Type (Subtype). The default value is now
blank, which means the attribute will be omitted from the query, and is similar to Content
Server 9.7.1. Two special values are added to the options:
(SFWK-4416)
5. Tabular Search Result Width: In a tabular search result, if there is no special handling for a
column, then a new limit of 150 pixels for the column has been implemented, which prevents
the width of pages from becoming arbitrarily wide. This can be modified in the CSS file if
necessary. (SFWK-4419, SFWK-4408)
6. Search Bar without Text: In Full Text query mode only, you can now initiate a query from the
search bar without entering a value in the text field. This is equivalent to entering an asterisk
( * ) as the search term. This change allows queries to run using just the constraints in the
expanded search panel (for example, recent dates, slices, or file types). (SFWK-4326)
7. Target Browse Appearances: The appearances have been removed by default from the
Target Browse dialog. A new admin control is available on the Configure Container Options
administration page to enable appearances. (SFWK-4451)
48
are moved to the new database location. There is a new General Settings administration
page for Collections that allows configuration of these values. (SFWK-3739). The deprecated
opentext.ini settings are:
largestUncompressedSpreadsheetInKB
maxItemsPerSpreadsheet
maxOperationSize
5. Region Settings. The search region settings (region map) storage has been moved from a
file stored in Content Server to tables in the database. This change reduces errors if the
region map file cannot be accessed, and improves performance for making updates to the
region map. During the upgrade to Update 11, the existing region settings are converted to
the database form. The region map file is not deleted; by leaving it in place, if the upgrade
needs to be re-run, it will still convert properly. (SFWK-1083)
6. Database Verification. Changes have been made to reduce the number of false positive
errors reported with ChildCounts. ChildCount checking is no longer performed on noncontainer objects. In addition, ChildCount checking is not performed on the Workflow
Volume. Internally, structure was also added to allow other modules to register themselves
for exemption to ChildCount verification. (LPAD-24283)
7. Module Upgrades. The upgrade process has been modified to reduce steps needed when
upgrades to the database schema are required by both Content Server core and optional
modules. The upgrade now applies the schema changes from both core and modules at the
same time, eliminating the need to use a dummy database in some scenarios. (LPAD-31216)
8. Search Relevance. The configuration page for adjusting search relevance now allows
spaces in values for the Object Type Rank field. This supports the new use of TEXT fields in
the search engine for relevance scoring, most valuable with OTFileType as the relevance
field. (SFWK-4101)

When upgrading from previous versions of Content Server, the Extractor settings from the
opentext.ini file on the Content Server instance running the upgrade are migrated to the
database.
Current settings cannot be preserved automatically from versions prior to Livelink 9.7.1
Update 3. The settings must be entered manually on the administration pages.
Note that the current Electronic Signatures module modifies Extractor opentext.ini
settings during a new installation. These changes are ignored, and should be updated
using the admin page.
(SFWK-3689)
2. Document Management: When creating a shortcut or generation using the Make Shortcut or
Make Generation option on an object's Functions menu, the name of the new object will be
the same as the object that it is created from by default. (LPAD-28316)
3. Workflow Map Attribute Indexing. Within the Workflow Map attribute creation and edit
page, there is a setting called Show in Search. In prior versions of Content Server, all
Workflow Map attributes were indexed, and this setting affected whether the attribute could be
made searchable. Due to the large number of infrequently used metadata fields this may add
to the index, this setting has been changed. When checked, it now means add the field to
the search index, and the default for new attributes has been changed to unchecked.
These regions have the form WFAttr_xxxxxx on the Regions page of the Enterprise Search
Manager. (SFWK-3813)
4. Best Bets Configuration. The following configuration settings for tuning Best Bets and
Nicknames were moved from the opentext.ini file to the KINI table in the database, and are
now managed on the Best Bets administration page:
BestBetsMinStemLength=
BestBetsMaxTerms=
NicknameMaxTerms=
NickNameWithBestBets=
During upgrade, the existing settings from the Content Server instance on which the upgrade is
run are preserved. (SFWK-3705)
5. Multiple Custom View Search Forms. If there are multiple Custom View Search forms
defined for a single folder, Content Server will now allow the user to select from the available
search forms. (SFWK-3828)
50
6. Search Index Verifier. The OTURN field has been added to the search index verifier output
reports. (SFWK-3156)
7. Removal of Appearances in Search Dialogs. The pop-up and modal dialogs related to
search features were changed to remove Appearance information in 18 dialogs.
Appearances often allowed users to navigate away from the intended purpose of the dialog,
or consumed unexpected space in dialogs where space is limited. The Multi-Field sort
selector was converted to a modal dialog instead of a pop-up window. (SFWK-3740, SFWK3896)
8. 0-Byte Files. Content Server now allows content files with a size of zero to be added and
stored within the system.
9. Delete Performance. A number of optimizations were incorporated that improve the
performance of delete operations. Although exact benefits vary by system, in a typical
environment the delete performance is approximately doubled.
51
4. Memory Constraints. It was determined that Java was allocating far more memory to the
Update Distributor and Search Federator processes than required. For new installations,
these now default to 256 MB for Enterprise Data Sources and 64 MB for other types of Data
Sources. For existing installations, we recommend adding these memory constraints as
command line options in the administration pages for these processes. (SFWK-3604)
5. Boolean Search Selection. The control for selecting a value for a Boolean field on search
forms has been modified, which is most frequently used with Categories. Previously, this was
a check box for True or False. The new implementation is a pull down menu, which covers
seven possible values (SFWK-3470):
(blank) ignore, do not include in search query
True
False
Defined must exist, may be True or False
Undefined must not exist
Not True undefined or false
Not False undefined or true
6. IPool Quarantine. The quarantine feature for unreadable IPools in DCS is now implemented
for all input IPool readers. Each IPool directory now has an _failure subdirectory, into which
bad IPools are moved. The last 100 failed IPool messages are retained on a rotating basis in
the _failure directory. This is no longer a configurable DCS feature. IPools in the _failure
directory can be used to diagnose problems in DataFlows. (SFWK-3682)
7. Extractor Improvements. The Extractor is the component of the search system that
generates search indexing operations. There are many changes to the Extractor in Update 9
to improve performance and correct defects. Some of the notable items are:
-
In addition, the Enterprise Library Extractor has been modified to be compatible with these
changes, and is NOT compatible with existing versions of Enterprise Library. If you are using
Enterprise Library, then you must upgrade to a minimum of Enterprise Library 10.2.1 with
the latest patches, expected January 2013.
52
from the display of search results, from the search option display styles, and from the Search
API.
2. Search region display names are no longer stored in saved search templates. Changes to the
name of a search region are therefore now reflected in any user interfaces that display the
region name. Existing saved templates are unaffected; the change only affects new search
templates that are saved, or existing templates that are updated. Saved search templates
include Search Forms, Custom View Search Forms, Saved Queries, etc.
3. Within the Document Conversion Server, the feature to analyze content and attach a
metadata value within the OTContentLanguage region is now enabled by default. This has a
small impact on DCS performance and the size of the index. If your environment is sensitive
to these factors, you can disable this feature in <OTHOME>/config/custom_dcs.ini file:
[LanguageID]
detectLanguage=FALSE
4. LAPI searches with an empty where clause now return an error message. In previous
releases, this was interpreted as a search for all (or *).
53
files that are created are changed and now use a filename that consists of a set prefix of
cws_ followed by a random string, created in the OS temp directory (LESAPI-1143)
2. Search Form Lists. The behavior of pull down lists in advanced search forms has been
changed, which affects searching against regions such as dates or category attributes. The
previous behavior was a default value of any, which requires that a value in the region
exists. A blank value has been added as the new default value, which omits the region from
the query entirely. This is more consistent with text fields, where a blank value is omitted from
the search. For customers upgrading from Content Server 9.7.1, the new blank value is
functionally similar to the 9.7.1 use of the any value as the default. CS 9.7.1 does not
support the concept of the new any value (require that a value is defined in the region).
(SFWK-1452)
3. Util Function Deprecated. $WEBLL.WebUtils.GetMinificationSuffix() has been deprecated
and replaced by $WEBDSP.RequestHandlerUtils.GetMinificationSuffix(). This is to prevent a
dependency of WEBDSP on WEBLL that was problematic for OpenText Remote Cache
Server. (LPAD-25132)
4. Search Disk Retrieval Storage. If you have used the search.ini or search.ini_override files to
configure Disk Retrieval mode directly in a previous installation of Search Engine 10, you
should remove these settings and configure this mode through the partition management
pages in Content Server.
5. Forms Indexing. The indexing of forms objects has been disabled by default for new
installations of Content Server 10. This applies to object SubTypes 223, 231 and 226. The
Forms module allows creation of arbitrary region names, and it was determined that
customers are not naming regions to prevent collisions with important system metadata.
54
Enabling or disabling indexing of Forms can be done by editing the ExcludedSubtypes value
in the [LivelinkExtractor] section of the opentext.ini file.
6. Search Metadata Settings. For new installations, new default values for automatic partition
mode switching are being used. The new values are much more conservative, and better
reflect the historic metadata memory use patterns that most customers follow. Existing
customers who already have Search Engine 10 installed may want to edit their percent full
settings to the new values on the Partition Mode administration pages:
Rebalance 80%
Stop Rebalancing 77%
Update Only mode 70%
If you are making these changes and your current indexes are already above these values,
rebalancing may occur and/or adding more partitions may be necessary.

Project Templates that were created from a Project may not include
permission information for the contents of the Project when the XML

The Users with the can create/modify users privilege can set
password expiration on individual user accounts check box was
added to the Password Settings page. This setting allows a System
Administrator to grant users permission to change the expiration
date for passwords of individual users, which overrides the systems
password expiration policy. In previous releases, no special
privileges were required to perform this override. Also, if this setting
is enabled, the ability to make individual users passwords never
expire is restricted to User Administrators. Individual user password
expiration settings can still be configured by users with System
Administration privileges.

When using the SEA Servlet with NTLM or LDAP authentication in
Content Server 10.0.0, document uploads would fail because the
REMOTE_USER environment variable was not conveyed to the
StreamUpload request handler. This resulted in an error message such
as "Content Server Error: Error adding new item. [File
'C:\OPENTEXT\app\temp\lluplxxx.txt' does not exist.]". This is fixed in
Update 7.
It is required that the primary instance use the same Authentication
configuration and source (in LDAP). Document uploads are
authenticated against the primary instance again, and this only
succeeds when the user who is authenticated on the SEA instance can
be successfully authenticated by the primary instance.

o A new configuration file named custom_dcs.ini is now available which should be used if
you need to modify any DCS.ini settings. Future Updates may replace dcs.ini, but will not
modify your custom_dcs.ini file.

customers the impact is minimal. Customers with new installations since Update 0 who use
Records Management (RM) and who search on the affected RM fields may wish to address this,
and should contact Customer Support for assistance. Incorrectly typed regions and their
recommended new values in the LLFieldDefinitions.txt file are:
ENUM OTDCategory (used to be INTEGER)
ENUM rmEssential (used to be BOOLEAN)
ENUM PHYSOBJTransferID (used to be #TEXT)
INTEGER PHYSOBJMediaTypeID (used to be ENUM)
115
Completely removed:
#TEXT PHYSOBJterms
#TEXT PHYSOBJTransferID
#TEXT PHYSOBJPartyName1
#TEXT PHYSOBJPartyName2
#TEXT rmPartID
Note: in the LLFieldDefinitions.txt file, there should be exactly one TAB character between the
type definition and the region name
2. Updated dcsrules.txt A new version of dcsrules.txt is installed with Update 3. If you have
customized this file or installed a module that changes this file, you should review your custom
changes and re-apply them to the new version of the file as appropriate. The most common
customizations would be the application of OpenText Filter Pack or the third-party Brava filters.
The change prevents attempts to index content from which the filters cannot extract text, which
reduces the amount of poor quality content in the index.
This was accomplished by removing the following two lines from the standard dcsrules.txt file:
case OTMimeType = "application/octet-stream"
try CharEncoding, PruneDoc
3. To support new features of DCS and indexing, an additional search region will be added to the
search index to accommodate language data. Existing installations with Update 2 or earlier
applied should edit their LLFieldDefinitions.txt files to add the following entry before starting the
index engines and indexing data:
ENUM OTContentLanguage
Failure to make this change will result in the new language data being stored as type TEXT in the
index instead of enumerated types (ENUM), which will not result in loss of functionality, but will be
less efficient in terms of memory storage. New installations of Content Server 10 including
Update 3 will have this automatically included.
116
4. The type definition for OTFileType is incorrect in the LLFieldDefinitions.txt file. This should be
changed before the search processes are started for the first time. The correct definition is:
TEXT
OTFileType
Note that exactly one tab character is required between the TEXT and OTFileType entries.
117
118
119
5. Search Filter Memory Allocation: New configuration setting that allows additional memory
to be allocated to Search Engines, most notably required for search facets. Default is 40 MB.
6. Extractor Statistics Gathering: Extractors now collect statistical information about their
performance, retained for 7 days. This information will be used in future reporting tools.
6. OTDS. You can now specify a different host name to redirect users for OTDS Authentication.
This is frequently required when a Content Server instance is deployed in a DMZ for Extranet
access.
7. Domains. The following methods were added to MemberService:
8. Custom Columns. Multi-line text attributes can be used for Custom Columns.
120
9. Sorting. Facets, with the exception of Date-type Facets, now support configuration of
different Display Modes. The Display Mode determines the order that Facet values are
displayed, and is configured on the Facet's Specific Properties tab.
The available options depend on the type of the Facet, but in general the options are "Ranked list"
(the default) to sort by the count for each value, and "Alphabetical list" to sort by the values
themselves.
121
7. Search Statistics. The Collection of search stats has been improved to capture additional
search sources, and provide better granularity for search sources. New sources include
Enterprise Connect simple search, Enterprise Connect advanced search, Enterprise Connect
Custom Search Forms, Custom View Search Forms, and executing Saved Search Queries.
8. Content Web Services. The following methods have been added to the MemberService:
CreateUserInDomain(), which allows for the creation of a new user in a Content Server
Domain, if Domain support is enabled; and CreateUser(), which allows for the creation of a
new user in Content Server and is a better alternative than the generic CreateMember()
method.
9. Content Web Services. The following methods have been added to MemberService:
CreateGroupInDomain(), which allows for the creation of a new group in a Content Server
Domain, if Domain support is enabled; and CreateGroup(), which allows for the creation of a
new group in Content Server and is a better alternative to the generic CreateMember()
method.
10. Content Web Services. A new CreateDomain() method has been added to the
MemberService. This method allows for the creation of a new Domain in Content Server if
Domain support is enabled. A new Domain SDO has also been added to represent a Domain.
The Domain SDO inherits from the Member SDO, similar to User and Group.
11. Content Web Services. A new DOMAIN option has been added to the SearchFilter enum
SDO in MemberService. This option allows you to search for only Domains when using the
SearchForMembers() method of the MemberService.
12. Auditing. If the "Disable Audit Purge" setting is enabled, users will no longer have access to
the "Purge Audit Log" functionality, either from the UI or through a URL. If the "Lock Audit
Interests" setting is enabled, the "Set Auditing Interests" page becomes read-only and users
will no longer be able to modify these settings. If the user installs a module that creates their
own event interests, they will be displayed on the page, but the user will not be able to modify
the default values.
These features are not reversible. Extreme caution should be used when deciding to enable
these features. Also, the audit log could become large, which may impact performance. New
features that are added to new/upgraded modules may not be audited if new interests are added.
13. LiveReports. A new option called "Configure LiveReports Security" was added to the
LiveReports Administration section on the Content Server Administration page.
The page provides an option to permanently disable the ability for all LiveReports to modify
the database. If enabled and saved, this action is not reversible.
If the ability to modify the database has been locked out by the admin, then the option "Allow
Database Modifications" on the create/edit LiveReports page will not be present and any preexisting values will be ignored.
14. Str.Join. A new built-in in the Str package was added, named Str.Join. It behaves in a
manner identical to Str.Catenate, except that it doesn't add the delimiter string to the end of
122
the output. E.g. Str.Catenate( {1,2,3}, "=-" ) -> "1=-2=-3=-", while Str.Join( {1,2,3}, "=-" ) ->
"1=-2=-3".
123
table columns and update indexes for performance reasons. No changes are required to
modules that use the Distributed Agents API.
8. Workflow. The Workflow Painter Java applet is now updated to be a signed applet.
9. Workflow. The Workflow Agent now uses the Distributed Agent framework. This results in
changes in the configuration of the Workflow Agent.
If FIFO order is enabled, the Workflow Agent processes tasks in a serial way. In order to increase
the throughput, the FIFO order should be disabled in the Workflow Agent administration page.
The Workflow Agent will then use Distributed Agents for parallel processing (new behavior).
124
6. DCS Variable Timeouts. A variable timeout capability has been introduced that allows DCS
to extend the time available for filters to process large files. By default, this is disabled with a
value of 0. In the DCS.INI file, the setting is: ExtraSecondsPer10MB=10 (SRCH-2539).
7. Location Depth feature has been added, in which DCS assigns the distance from the root
location as an integer. This can be used for relevance scoring. For Content Server objects,
the depth is based on the number of values in the OTLocation metadata, for crawled objects
the file path or URL are parsed. This integer is placed in the field OTLocationDepth. (SRCH2529).
8. Zero Size Files. Where files of size zero are presented for indexing, DCS will now try to
attach file type metadata for some of the most common applications based on the file name
extension.
9. Log-out and Change Password options now appear under the Tools menu of Content Server
when OTDS integration is enabled.
10. AddToCollection() and RemoveFromCollection() methods were added to the CWS Document
Management Service.
125
16. The English Language Pack and Language Pack Toolkit are included in the SDK 10.0.0
Release 6, and higher versions (for use with Content Server 10.0.0 Service Pack 2). These
tools can be used to help ease the creation of new language packs.
17. The DataID column was added as a fixed system column in Content Server. The DataID is
the unique numeric value that Content Server uses to identify each object. It will not be
displayed by default and you can select it by configuring Global Columns in the Facets
Volume's Control Panel.
The new column is available in the Browse View and all others features that extends this
functionality (for example, Dynamic View and Virtual Folders).
126
each language with each Update. OpenText will no longer distribute the language pack
patches, which simplifies the installation process for administrators.
8. The ability to exclude given node IDs and their children from Notifications has been added.
This is useful when performing bulk imports to avoid a large number of Notifications. This
assumes that Notifications is enabled and properly configured. To add node IDs for exclusion:
A. On the Content Server Administration page, click the Configure Notification link in the
Notification Administration section.
B. Select the Enable Node Exclusion check box in the Excluded Nodes section.
C. Type the node IDs that you want to exclude from Notification Events in the Excluded Nodes
field. Separate multiple node IDs with commas. You can use the node IDs of Folders and the
items inside of the folder will also be excluded from Notification Events.
127
2. DB Verification. An additional check has been added to the database verification system that
will look for cyclical references in the DTree database table. This check is part of the Level 2
verification.
3. Project Wizard. The Project Wizard was updated to allow other modules to request
additional information at the time a Project is created. This feature was specifically added to
allow users to select Classifications to apply to Projects when they are created.
4. DB Verification. There are changes to the database verification for SQL storage. If SQL
storage is used, Level 5 and Level 6 database verification now verifies the existence and size
of the stored objects.
5. DB Verification. A new database verification level has been added. Level 6 verification will
verify the existence and size of document and email objects, and compare data from the
storage provider against the system database. Level 5 database verification has been
modified to exclude these object types, leaving only system configuration objects, which will
improve the performance of Level 5 database verification.
6. Add to Favorites. In Standard search results layout, the Add to Favorites link now displays
Adding when selected, then disappears when complete.
7. Search Bar. Now wider to display more keywords. Width is configurable in Search Bar Edit
administration page.
8. Save Search Result Templates. New dialog clarifies behavior, allows updating of an
existing template.
9. Admin Menu Rights. The Admin Menu added in Update 5 now requires a user privilege in
addition to Bypass permissions. Default is enabled for all users with Bypass permissions.
10. OTContentStatus. DCS now populates the OTContentStatus metadata region with worst
content quality code. This feature works in conjunction with a similar capability within the
index engines to characterize the quality of indexed data.
11. CSV Files. A new format filter has been added for indexing Comma Separated Value files.
Files must have the extension CSV for this feature to function. Feature can be disabled in the
dcsrules.txt file:
[CharEncoding]
module QDF
param Operation "ConvertToUTF8"
param ConvertCSV "True"
128
content in Content Server 10.0.0. A Virtual Folder is an object in Content Server which
defines both a selection of facets and a location within Content Server to which that selection
will be applied.
The creation of Virtual Folders is restricted by default. Users must be granted the privilege to
create Virtual Folder objects through the Administer Object and Usage Privileges in the System
Administration section of the Content Server Administration page.
2. Download Collection as Spreadsheet. A new tool within Collections supports the download
of metadata about an entire Collection or a filtered or selected subset of a Collection as a
spreadsheet, in CSV (Comma Separated Value) format. Large Collections are broken into
multiple CSV files. Multiple CSV files or large CSV files are compressed into a ZIP file before
downloading. A progress bar provides feedback on preparation of the download file. This is
a lightweight implementation the objects are not downloaded, and the spreadsheet is not
retained within Content Server. There are User Rights for accessing this feature, and the
feature is audited. There are configuration limits within the opentext.ini file:
[CollectionsDownloadAsSpreadsheet]
maxOperationSize=250000
Upper limit on number of items that can be downloaded. Use -1 for unlimited.
largestUncompressedSpreadsheetInKB=5120
If spreadsheet larger than this, then it is converted to a ZIP file. Default 5
Mbytes. -1 for no limit.
maxItemsPerSpreadsheet=30000
If more rows than this, the output is broken into multiple spreadsheets and
zipped into a single file.
3. Admin Menu. A new main menu (Admin) is now displayed for administrators. The menu has
links to the main Administration page and the new Search Administration browser.
4. Search Administration Browser. A new tool is available that helps administrators locate and
understand Search Administration features. This is accessible through the Admin menu.
5. Advanced Search. The Advanced Search form has been updated with a number of usability
improvements. The templates within Advanced Search are now referred to as Search
Forms. You now select a Search Form on a pull-down list instead of a separate tab sheet.
The Revert to Default button is now an item in the Form Selection list. The extended Save
features are moved from the bottom to a panel on the left to reduce confusion for the common
search case. The behavior of the Query Components panel on the left is modified to clarify
that selecting these objects moves them into the Search Form as components. The Scope
component is now labeled Slices for consistency with other uses within the product. Other
locations that display this form are updated to remain consistent, such as properties for
Saved Queries. On search Forms, the term Template is replaced with Search Form in
select areas.
129
6. Save as Search Form this feature of Advanced Search was previously labeled Save as
Template. The pop-up save dialog is updated to clarify the options of creating a new form
versus overwriting an existing form, and is now presented as a dialog instead of a new
browser window.
7. Search Activity Indicator. When a search query is issued, a small JavaScript inset is now
presented to the user indicating that the query was accepted and is being processed. This
applies to the search bar, advanced search page and custom view search.
8. Search from Query Properties. A Search button is added to the Properties page for a
Saved Query, allowing a search to be initiated directly from this page.
9. Multilingual Names for Search Forms. You can now edit the properties for a Search Form
(a.k.a. Template) to create multilingual names and descriptions.
10. Rename Search Templates. You can now rename Search Templates. This feature is
accessible through the Function menu on Search Template objects. Internally, Search
Templates are now referenced by ID instead of name.
11. Save as Slice. This feature is now explicitly available as a Save option on the Advanced
Search page and is available only to administrators. In previous releases, you had to save as
template and navigate to the slice folder.
12. Process Scheduling. A minor enhancement was made to the interface for scheduling
processes which now uses radio buttons to clarify the available modes. For processes that
have the ability to manage their own scheduling, such as the Document Conversion and Two
Way Tee processes, a new Persistent Scheduling option is now available.
13. Extractor Optimization. Content Server will now inject specific delete operations into the
DTreeNotify database table instead of generic update operations when objects are deleted.
This allows the Extractor to make smarter decisions and reduce the load on the Search
indexing system.
14. DCS Character Encoding. DCS can now convert text or HTML encoded as BIG5 or
ISO-8859-8 (Hebrew) to UTF-8 for indexing.
15. Document Conversion IPool Error Handling. If the Document Conversion Process (DCP)
cannot process an Interchange Pool (IPool) message and terminates with an exception, the
IPool message will be moved to a quarantine folder after two attempts and DCP will continue
processing the next IPool message. This is intended to prevent ingestion from stopping
completely when errors occur. Problematic IPool messages will be moved to the _failures
folder within the IPool folders. DCP must be restarted (manually or automatically) for this
feature to work, and you may want to set the Maximum Bad Error Code value higher to best
use this feature. In the opentext.ini file in the [ipools] section, the setting:
MaxIPoolQuarantine=10 controls how many bad IPools are retained. Set to 0 to disable this
feature.
130
16. DCS Socket Connections. DCS will now perform up to 3 retries with 1 second intervals
when attempting to open socket connections to the admin server. This change is to
accommodate customers who are unable to resolve intermittent third-party socket conflicts.
17. File Type. The new File Type identification system introduced in earlier updates is enhanced
for coverage of more cases. Note that the system does not correctly identify all data types for
objects that have been stored in Enterprise Library, since Enterprise Library introduces
different mechanisms for reporting object types.
18. Default Regions. The behavior of the &dspregionN= parameter in the XML Search API is
changed. In the past, if this parameter was present, it replaced the default list of regions
returned in the query. This parameter is now used to supplement the default list, adding the
specified region to the results.
19. Level 5 database verification storage providers. The Level 5 database verification now
supports additional storage providers other than External File Storage. The Database
Verification Settings page lists all of the storage providers that will be verified.
20. Storage provider verification framework. A new storage provider verification framework
has been created; this framework will allow additional storage providers beyond External
Document Storage to be verified.
21. Updated errors returned from EFS. The set of errors that can be returned from External File
Storage verification has been altered. The following verification errors can now appear: "The
file size in DVersData table does not correspond to the file size in the storage provider.",
"Document could not be located in the storage provider.", "Errors occurred accessing storage
providers", and "Errors occurred while verifying storage provider data".
22. Web Services: Returned node limit. The following configuration parameter is available in
the opentext.ini file that limits the number of nodes that are returned by a Web Service call
(LESAPI-425):
[WebServices]
MaxNodes=1000
This limit reduces memory use for Web Service calls that can potentially return thousands of
nodes at once. Setting this limit will impact the following Web Service methods:
DocumentManagement.ListNodes() - The maximum number of nodes that will be
returned will be equal to the MaxNodes limit,
DocumentManagement.ListNodesByPage() - The maximum page size that can be
used will be equal to the MaxNodes limit
DocumentManagement.GetNodesInContainer() - The maximum MaxResults option
that can be used will be equal to the MaxNodes limit.
131
Note: This is an optional configuration item and will not appear in the opentext.ini file unless
added explicitly.
23. Web Services: Workflow Service accepts process instance ID. The Workflow Service
GetProcessDefinition method was extended to allow you to pass in a process instance ID to
return the process definition of a running process instance. (LESAPI-173)
24. Web Services: New GetMetadataLanguages method. The GetMetadataLanguages()
method was added to the Document Management service, which returns a list of the enabled
metadata languages on the system. (LESAPI-1098)
25. OTDS Authentication. The Content Server OTDS Integration now supports Web server
authentication (for example, Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA)), in addition to
standard Content Server and OTDS authentication methods.
132
2. Support for Internet Explorer 9. Support has been added for Internet Explorer 9 as a web
browser for Content Server 10.0.0 + Update 4 and subsequent versions. Support is limited to
the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7.
3. Object Move Throttle (Limit). The new move throttle allows a system administrator to
configure the maximum number of items that can be moved in one operation. An additional
configuration page allows you to enable this setting and set the limit. (WRD-191)
4. Prospector Limiting. A new feature is available that allows an administrator to limit the
complexity of Prospectors that may be created. This feature can help ensure that
Prospectors have limited impact where high volume search indexing requirements exist.
5. RMI Deprecated. Within Search Engine 10, the ability exists to use either RMI
communication or direct socket communication between components. Starting with Update
4, Content Server will use direct socket connections instead of RMI. The search process
otrmiregistry is no longer used. This change will reduce thread use on large search indexes.
Although specific search transactions may be slightly faster or slower, in general there is no
discernible performance difference. If upgrading from a previous version, the database
upgrade process will make any necessary configuration changes automatically.
6. Collections. There are new features for Collections. The name and object type filters
available in the browse user interface are now also available for use when browsing a
collection. The check box for Entire Collection will now also honor these filter settings.
7. Admin Page Refresh. A feature to automatically refresh certain Search Administrator pages
has been added. These pages display the status of search processes. Using the refresh
feature is useful for Admins that are monitoring search processes during startup or
conversion. The refresh feature is available for: Admin Server page, Data Source Folder
browse, Search Manager browse, Update Distributor Index Engines tab, Search Federator
Search Engines tab and Partition Map page.
8. Back Button Compatibility. Pages that display results from search form submissions have
been modified to allow use of the Back button with certain browsers. Browsers such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer challenge the user with a Form Resubmission dialog when using
the Back button. The change is implemented by using a browser redirect from the form
POST to a GET operation.
An optimization for using a GET operation directly from the search bar has also been
implemented, which skips the redirect if the size of the submission string is not long.
In more security-conscious environments, using a form POST instead of GET may be desired.
The behavior can be changed to force the use of form POST for search queries in the opentext.ini
file:
[SearchOptions]
redirectPost=false
133
9. Spider 10.0 Integration. Beginning with Update 4, tools to create and configure an OpenText
Spider data source are now included in the search administration pages. Installation of
OpenText Spider is required to use these features. Spider is a separate product that allows
web sites, ftp sites and other data locations to be crawled and indexed within Content Server
search.
10. Admin Server Resynchronization. The presentation of output results from Admin Server
Resynchronization has had formatting changes to improve readability. In addition, a new
section highlights any orphaned or unknown processes that may require additional
investigation.
11. DCS Character Encoding. Document Conversion can now identify and convert to UTF-8
more character encodings for text files that do not have explicit encoding information (typically
text or HTML). New encodings supported are GB18030, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, ISO-8859-1,
ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-5, ISO-8859-6, ISO-8859-7, ISO-8859-9, Windows-1251, Windows1256, and KOI8-R.
12. DCS Format Identification. Document Conversion now has a new file format identification
system, which generates a file type in the search index in metadata region OTFileType. This
new system uses a blend of data that includes the Content Server OTSubType, the output
from a format analysis tool, file format extensions and MIME types. The configuration is
controlled using a new configuration file: dcs.ini.
13. Workflow Error Recipients. There is a new option called "Set Recipient for Workflow Error
E-mails" on the Workflow administration page that allows an admin user to decide who
receives an email when a Workflow error occurs. The previous behavior was to send an email
to all managers of a Workflow. ( LPAD-14276)
14. File Identification on Upload 1. The opentext.ini file contains the following new optional
entry in the [Client] section: UseDCS, which indicates whether DCS should be used. The
default is False. A value of false uses the browser settings to determine the file MIME type, a
value of true will sent the document to DCS for analysis, which is more accurate but slower.
(LPAD-15200)
15. File Identification on Upload 2. A new feature is added that gives administrators the ability
to explicitly define what methods are used, and in what order, to determine the MIME type of
a document when it is uploaded to the system. (LPAD-8564)
16. Object Move Throttle (Limit). The new move throttle allows a system administrator to
configure the maximum number of items that can be moved in one operation. An additional
configuration page allows you to enable this setting and set the limit. This new feature
requires a change to the database schema. See the Installation Notes for the database
upgrade steps. (WRD-191)
17. Permissions for Content Web Services. Added permissions support for Owner, Owner
Group, and Public Access rights. This affects the following API methods:
134
The title of the Search results page will change to identify Custom View Search results and
Advanced Search results.
When using the Search Bar, the title of the Search Results page will now include the source
folder name and the search query to clarify the result for users. The title will be along the
lines of:
Search Results in My Folder Name for: keyword1 keyword2
When using the Search Bar, if searching within a folder, a link will be displayed as a
convenience that will perform the same search on the Enterprise slice, along these lines:
Results 1 to 10 of about 100 sorted by Relevance, did you mean to search Enterprise?
The grey buttons for search tools along the top of the results page have been replaced. The
Refine Your Search button is now a link to Advanced Search. The More Results button is
deprecated in favor of the navigation links at the bottom of the page. Any remaining buttons
are now moved into a pull-down action menu labeled Search Tools.
The link to Edit the Display Options has been replaced with a pull-down menu labeled
Select Display Style. This menu now contains the Edit the Display Options function, the
save search template function, and a quick picker to change the current search layout.
135
The controls at the bottom of the search results have been updated to use the standard
Content Server controls for page navigation and the number of results to display to improve
overall product consistency.
3. Standard Search Result Layout. A new search layout has been added to the list of
available search presentation styles, labeled Standard. This layout differs significantly from
the other search layouts in a number of ways.
The Standard presentation is specifically targeted at casual search users who are looking for
objects to open and share. The layout is simplified, removing much of the complexity in the
interest of meeting this particular need. This layout deliberately provides different information
and features.
The presentation is visually very different, modeled on common public web search engines in
order to provide a familiar interface to search users.
The interface provides quick links to the most common activities that a search user performs:
open a document, share it, add to favorites, add to a collection, or view the properties page.
If you have requirements in which certain fields or search presentation features MUST be
presented, you may want to prevent users from accessing this interface. To do this, BEFORE
allowing users to access the feature, you can delete the new layout from the KIni table with SQL
like this:
delete from KIni where IniSection = 'ResultLayouts' and IniValue like '%.Standard>%'
4. Unpermissioned Search Result Privileges. A new user privilege is available that allows a
user to see the total number of raw search hit counts in a Search Query. Note that this does
not allow them to access the results (which are still trimmed), just the total number of Search
results.
This feature is managed in the Content Server Object Usage and Privileges administration
page, with a Usage Type of Search, and the Usage Name See Unpermissioned Result Counts.
The default is off meaning that users will by default have their result counts permission-trimmed
(estimated), which is the existing Content Server behavior.
5. Audit Hit Highlighting. Auditing of Hit Highlighting is now available but is disabled by
default. To enable this, check the Hit Highlight event on the Set Auditing Interests
administration page within Content Server (SFWK-1662)
6. Search Performance Logging. There is now logging available that can capture timing at
specific points in the Search process within the thread logs. This data is for detailed
investigation when Search performance analysis is required. The data created is intended for
use by OpenText support and development staff, and is not structured for customer use, and
may be changed in the future. This feature is enabled in the [SearchOptions] section of the
opentext.ini file by adding the value WantCheckpointLogs=TRUE.
136
7. Extended Node Rights API. Content Web Services: The AddReplace value was added to
the RightOperation enum. Using this with the UpdateNodeRightsContext method will add the
ACL entry for the user if one does not already exist; or if one does exist, it will replace or
update it.(LESAPI-873)
8. Improved Error Logging. Content Web Services: In Livelink 9.7.1, (in Oscript) if an error
code is passed into the SetError script without a prefix, the script automatically prefixes the
error code with the service's namespace. This functionality exists in Content Server 10.0.0.
(LESAPI-877.
9. Add Partition Wizard. The Add Partition wizard has been upgraded to perform more error
checking at each step of the wizard, improve the default settings, check port availability, add
comments for clarification, and clean up (back out changes) if the wizard is cancelled or
cannot complete.
10. Add Federator Wizard. The Add Search Federator wizard has been upgraded to perform
more error checking at each step of the wizard, improve the default settings, check port
availability, add comments for clarification, and clean up (back out changes) if the wizard is
cancelled or cannot complete.
11. Search Storage Only Mode. The Search engine supports a text metadata storage mode
known as Disk Retrieval. This storage mode keeps the metadata values on disk, and does
not build an index for the values. Hence, these values may be retrieved from the index, but
not searched. The Content Server administration pages now expose this feature in the
Enterprise Partition Map pages. Disk Retrieval should be considered for OTSummary and
OTHP regions, which can consume up to 25% of the metadata RAM in the search engine. If
making this change, ensure that OTSummary and OTHP are removed from your default
search regions list and are not used in the Search Rankings.
12. Fetch Request Handler. In the fetch request handler, a new subsystem and registration
object were created with to allow external editors to register, and open and manipulate
content from Content Server instead of the traditional Content Server document streaming.
By default, the standard 'Open' functionality is used. There are no user interface changes for
this update. (SAPRM-1887)
137
4. Advanced Search Blanks. Date fields in advanced search have a new value in the pull down
list, blank, which is the default. If blank is selected, the term is omitted from the query
entirely. This is analogous to the CS 9.7.1 default of Any. In CS10, the Any setting is
interpreted as including the term in the query and searching for * in the field, which requires
that a value is present. (SFWK-1540)
5. Best Bets Tuning. The test for Nicknames and Best Bets in CS10 is now tunable to reduce
the number of matches. (SFWK-1382)
Support has been added for four new opentext.ini settings in the [SearchOptions] section to allow
for tuning:
BestBetsMinStemLength: Minimum number of characters a search term using stemming,
left/right truncation, * wildcards, or regex must be to in order to be translated into a like SQL

6. Search API. The XML Search API has been extended to allow regions to be retrieved that are
not marked as Displayable. (SFWK-440)
7. Search API. The XML Search API has been extended to allow specification of language rules
that apply to Thesaurus and Stemming. (SFWK-45)

The new Knowledge Manager role can configure Categories and Attributes to be used as Facets,
which can then be deployed as part of the content filter functionality. Content Filter panels can be
configured for global, role-based, or location-based use.
URL support means users can share configured views.
Faceted Browsing Custom Columns. The Custom Columns functionality allows the display of
additional columns of metadata in the main browse view of Content Server. Users can see the
metadata values in the columns as part of the browse view. Content Server provides sample columns,
such as version number and date. This capability reduces the need to manually look up attribute
values for items in the system.
The new Knowledge Manager role can configure Categories and Attributes to be used as columns,
which can then be deployed as part of the Content Filter functionality. Columns can be configured for
global, role-based, or location-based use. Users can specify columns they want to see for any
location.
Internationalization User Interface. OpenText Content Server 10.0.0 introduces Language Pack
functionality.
A single instance of OpenText Content Server 10.0.0 can have language packs installed that
enable multiple localized user interfaces.
All instances begin as English-only and then become localized as language packs are installed.
This allows all users of a multilingual system to use the same URL to access Content Server.
Language packs can be installed for Content Server 10.0.0 and optional modules.
In an instance with multiple language packs installed, users can now specify and save their
preferred UI language.
Multilingual Metadata. The Multilingual Metadata functionality in Content Server provides the ability
to assign multiple language values to items Name and Description fields. When Content Server is
configured to use two or more languages, users can specify the language of choice and see the
appropriate values in the main browse view. This makes finding content easier for users who work in
an environment where more than one language is spoken.
139
Users can edit or view additional language values for name and description fields. Users can specify
a language of choice, and when that language is available, they will see the relevant value, otherwise
the initial value is used. Multilingual metadata is supported for all object types that ship as part of the
base Content Server configuration, including Documents, Folders, Projects, and others. Multilingual
metadata is also supported in Search.
Workflow Single Page View. The Workflow Single Page View is a UI Option that allows the
Workflow Designer to control the Workflow packages displayed to the Task Assignee. The Single
Page View condenses the UI into a single page and minimizes user navigation and the number of
mouse clicks.
The Single Page View UI is not a replacement of the current double frame UI, but an optional UI view
that can be applied to default 'User' Task types. This means that Workflow Designer can use either
the default double frame UI or the single frame UI in a Workflow.
Workflow Designers have the option to pick active packages that they want the Task Assignee to
have access to for a specific Task. Package display order is determined by the Workflow Designed at
design time. Packages that can be used in the Single Page view are:
Comments
Attachments
General Information
Forms (link to Form only; Form itself will open in a new window)
Attributes
Improved Performance. The broad goals to improve server performance and functionality are
represented by:
Search Engine 10.0. The existing OT7 search engine has been improved and rebranded as Search
Engine 10. Key enhancements include:
Extractor - improved performance, especially for deletes or operations on versioned objects
Index Verifier - new features, better error coverage and correction
Support for text metadata with multiple attributes - support for multilingual metadata
64-bit deployment that allows for fewer, larger partitions (simpler management and higher
search performance)
New memory-efficient disk-storage mode for metadata that is retrievable but not searchable
New standard and synthetic metadata that supports analysis of index quality
Document Conversion Service (DCS)
New / improved HTML filter
140
EPS Integration. Enterprise Process Services work items can be displayed in the My Assignments
page in Content Server
The Enterprise Process Services inbox appears in the My Assignments page of Content
Server. This allows users to find and track assignments from both EPS and Content Server
Workflows in a single location. The selection of an EPS task from the My Assignment page
leads directly to the Forms views of the selected task embedded in the Content Server UI.
Alternatively, the end user can open the EPS Inbox in Process Workplace and process work
items from here. In this inbox, only the BPM assignments are listed.
Users can add an EPS Process Shortcut to a folder in Content Server. From there, users who
have access can initiate the EPS process from within the folder by clicking on the EPS
Process shortcut.
Users that have permission to view or edit an active EPS Process can simply go to the
Workflow Status area. Active instances of EPS Processes that are associated with Content
Server are available on the Workflow Status page.
Search and add and view Content Server objects in EPS work items. Document, Folder, and
Project objects are supported as attachments. The attachments can be loaded into Content
Server from the EPS Process, or added to the Process from Content Server. The attachments
are handled as links, which means the metadata from the underlying object is shared, and
Process flow can be dependent on it. Also, any changes in the underlying object are
automatically reflected in the Process attachment. Standard document management features
such as Reserve, Versioning, and adding Categories and Attributes is fully supported.
EPS supports Single Sign On. The Single Sign On feature between Content Server and EPS
provides transparent access for the end user between the two systems. For example, a user
can access the Inbox section or the Work Items view of Enterprise Process Services from
Content Server without authenticating again.
Refreshed Interface. The updated user interface in Content Server has a modern look and feel with
less visual distractions. The UI makes use of commonly used widescreen monitors. Content Server
now includes a new Sidebar component that provides the ability to filter content in the browse view
based on metadata. The header and Enterprise menu are streamlined and the interface now
incorporates visual feedback when the mouse is placed over clickable items such as menus and
function icons. The breadcrumb trail is simplified and the toolbar items now collapse into a menu if
the screen is resized. The Add Item functionality is moved closer to the main browse area. The
header is simplified to facilitate rebranding and moving the date and user name to the simplified footer
area.
All of these changes contribute to an overall clean look which in turn addresses user adoption and
training issues.
141
The recursion through these Document Class definitions has now been changed to be
mindful of such cycles and avoid getting stuck in the loop.
The UI will check for such cycles when the Document Class definitions are edited and roll
back all changes if it detects one, providing an error message to user.
A new Admin function called Identify Document Class Cycles is now available in the Test or
Repair Known Database Issues section of the Maintain Current Database page.
142
Registry on the client machine to determine the proper command. In the registry, each file
type has a Shell section where the supported commands are registered. When documents do
not print, it is because the appropriate Shell command has not been registered for that file
type on that client machine.
Workaround:
Below is the general procedure for determining the configuration of the printto verb for a given
type of file. This procedure describes the process for TIF files, but it applies for any extension.
Open Regedit
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Locate the ".tif" entry beneath HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and determine its (default) value this provides the underlying document type name. For TIF, this is normally
TIFImage.Document
Beneath the shell sub-key is a key for each registered verb for that type of file
NOTE: The workaround for this issue involves advanced administrative tasks, such as editing the
registry. You should contact your IT support personnel before editing the registry.
If there is no printto verb present, you must create it to solve the non-print issue. Sometimes you
can view another computer's registry and copy the value from there. Other times, you are
required to install software that supports the printto verb. Occasionally, other applications have
changed the document type for the file extension (for example, .tif file extensions might be set to
something besides "TIFImage.Document").
Example:
The default value of the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TIFImage.Document\shell\printto\command
key on a Windows 7 workstation is:
"%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe"
"%SystemRoot%\System32\shimgvw.dll",ImageView_PrintTo /pt "%1" "%2" "%3" "%4"
8. The eLink module uses an artificial email address called "devnull" when processing emails.
This address serves as a "no reply" address. (LPH-909)
9. In order for the Content Server REST API to correctly handle PUT and DELETE requests via
IIS, the Application for Content Server needs to be configured to disable WebDAV. The
WebDAV Module should be removed as well as the handler mapping for WebDAV. Since the
Content Server WebDAV module uses a different IIS Application than that for Content Server
itself, this will not cause a problem for that functionality. (SIESTA-505)
143
10. In Content Server 10.0 Update 11, if you delete a row from the DVersData table, a row is not
added in the NotifyEvents table even if Notifications are enabled. When this happens,
"Delete" notifications are not created. This issue only applies when an Oracle Database is
used. (LPAD-35644) [Fixed in Update 2014-03]
11. The Content Server text document Java applet is not currently signed by an OpenText
security certificate. If a web browser prompts with a security message, the Java applet should
be allowed to run. (LPAD-34559) [Fixed in Update 12]
12. The Database Upgrade step during an upgrade may report that the Admin server is not ready
or in safe mode. In some cases, this can occur because the upgrade started before the
Admin server has completed its startup process. In this case, waiting a minute and trying the
upgrade step again may resolve the problem. (SFWK-3514) [Fixed in Update 9]
13. Installing E-Mail Services 10.2.1 on Content Server 10 SP2 will generate an error during the
installation process. To resolve this issue, you will need to install patch pat100000526.
(CSEM-187) [Fixed with E-mail Services 10.2.2]
14. When painting a Workflow and trying to use expressions on the Assignee tab of a user step, it
is not possible to add, remove, or edit expressions in some browsers. Firefox and Internet
Explorer work as expected. However, when using Chrome, the radio button moves from
"Expression" to "Assignee from Prior Step" and the following error appears: [You must select
a step to choose assignee from.]
15. WebDAV (WebEdit) and Office Editor are not supported with Chrome. To use these features,
you must use supported Internet Explorer or Firefox web browsers.
16. When adding a Text Document using the Safari browser, the Spell Check Utility does not
appear. (LPAD-30682)
17. A new configuration option has been added to the Java Module administration page for
Update 7. Proper configuration of this setting may be required for any Java RMI clients,
including SEA Servlet.
The "Client IP Addresses" setting needs to include the addresses of the Content Server. Any RMI
requests from clients not in this list and not originating from the same server as Content Server
will result in the Java Server logging a security exception and denying the connection attempt. For
SEA Servlet, the client list should match the CGI Hosts setting for Content Server. (LPAD-30675)
18. WebDAV is not currently supported using the Safari browser. (LPAS-727)
19. When exporting and importing via a Project Template, if you have a Workflow Map with an
Item Handler step that has a mapping of a Category to Workflow attribute, the settings are not
maintained. (1912622)
20. If Content Web Services (CWS) is being deployed in OpenText Runtime and Core Services
(RCS), it should be updated with each Content Server cumulative update or service pack. To
update RCS with the latest CWS package:
Stop Tomcat.
144
Place the latest version of les-services.car and les-services.war from the Content Server
cumulative update (<OTHOME>\webservices\java\core-services) into <RCS
workspace>/modules/install (overwrite if exists).
Restart Tomcat.
21. When the LiveReports module is uninstalled, the database schema is not cleaned up. The
server will not work until the module is reinstalled or the schema is manually adjusted.
(1597425 and LPAD-77)
22. In a LiveReport with a Click-thru SubReport, the "DETAILS" action will not display if the report
format is set to "LiveReport". (1602075 and LPAD-72)
23. Some dynamic links generated by Content Server are "absolute" rather than "relative" and,
therefore, can cause problems with some proxy servers, cluster servers, and authentication
tools. Known areas include highlighting, Workflow painting, Project menu items, News
Channels, and Task Lists. (1806673 and LPAD-823)
24. If a system report is aborted before it is allowed to complete, it can become difficult to run
another system report. Contact OpenText Customer Support to resolve this issue. (LPAD12821)
25. When performing an XML Export, if the transform parameter is used for style sheets that
contain the XSL document() function, an error is returned. (LPAD-16217)
26. User Interface never updated to show that func=admin.xmlimportstatus has completed and
import logs not generated with [general] logpath change. (LPAD-19520)
27. Renditions not copied when minor version is promoted to major and Renditions module is not
installed (LPAD-22634)
28. Expression Builder sometimes cannot display added rows properly (LPAD-22700)
29. When a user is assigned a Task from a Task List, that user cannot change the status of the
Task. (LPAD-23164) [Fixed in Update 7]
30. When Text Documents that contain extended ASCII characters that are created through the
Content Server interface on a UTF-8 installation are opened, the browser encoding is
incorrect. To properly view these Documents, the browser encoding must be manually set to
UTF-8. (LPAD-4525)
31. Memcached Folder (SOV) is not automatically created during upgrade from Livelink 9.7.1
(UTF-8) to Content Server 10.0.0. The Memcached folder and 3 processes should be created
along with the facets and columns upgrade during the upgrade. (LPAD-22657)
32. Content Server Administration. When you install Content Server 10 on Windows Server
2012, the "Content Server Administration" start page shortcut cannot be launched by the
Admin because Microsoft does not permit the Admin user to use the IE10 Metro app.
145
Workaround: Launch an IE10 browser and type in the URL manually. For example:
<http://localhost/OTCS/livelink.exe?func=admin.index>
33. The URL with livelink.exe (or livelink) functions properly; but cs.exe (or cs) does not when
using appropriate Tomcat 6 xml mappings for Content Server 10.0.0. The web.xml file (the
default location is: content_server/application/WEB-INF/) should contain a cs and a cs.exe
filter-mapping and servlet-mapping. (LPAD-25322)
The following filter-mapping sections and servlet-mapping sections need to be added to the
OTHome/application/WEB-INF/web.xml file:
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>compressionFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/cs/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>compressionFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/cs.exe/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>LLServletClient</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/cs/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>LLServletClient</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/cs.exe/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
