What's new in Content Server 7.0.3?

Satellite Servers are flushed in series using a single thread

Satellite Servers are flushed in series using a single thread. With many satellite servers, this can cause significant delays. We now flush each SS in a separate thread.

Dash UI

- Moved Add to ... dropdown, delete button and “Search Results: “ - in the same line to save space.

- Asset Type column in the search table has been replaced with the icon for that asset type.

- Mouseover will show a tooltip with the asset type name

- Asset image file name will be in the format ASSET_TYPE.IMAGE_FILE_TYPE. e.g. Content_C.gif.

- Asset type images will be read at startup from the Omtree\TreeImages\AssetTypes folder. To change the icon, CS needs to be restarted

- Locale column in the search table has been replaced with the icon for that specific locale. Maps are picked from \images\icons folder. A tooltip will show the locale name.

- Locale image file name will be in the format LANGUAGE_COUNTRY.gif. LANGUAGE must comfort with a valid ISO Language Code and COUNTRY with a valid ISO Country Code.
e.g. en_US for a locale with English language used in the United States

- The Name and Description fields in the search table will show up to 30 characters. If the string is more than 30 characters, then its truncated at 27 and an ellipse will be added at the end.

- For fields that get truncated, a mouseover of that field will show the full name or description.

- Modified column will only show the Date in search table, a mouseover will display both date and time.

XML Post

Introduced 3 XMLPost parameters that users can use to identify their data delimiters when they use flex XMLPost (add/modify/deletedata elements). The user can change them in xmlpost.ini. the three parameters are: 

post_xmlnamevaldelim_: y

post_xmlpostequaldelim_: y

post_xmlpostmulvaldelim_: y

 

(The default values for the three delimiters are : = ; if user does not post them)

 

e.g. If the .xml data file has different delimiters, and you want to use

1. @ to separate name/value pair (default is : if not posted),

2. == instead of = for name=value (default is =),

3. - to separate multi-valued attributes (default is ;)

 

<_xmlnamevaldelim_>@</_xmlnamevaldelim_>

<_xmlpostequaldelim_>==</_xmlpostequaldelim_>

<_xmlpostmulvaldelim_>-</_xmlpostmulvaldelim_>

Template saves enforce SiteCatalog naming format <site>/<assettype>/<tname>

In releases prior to CS 6.1 the SiteCatalog pagename was generated based on the rootlement that was specified in the Template screens. Beginning with 6.3, the SiteCatalog pagename was standardized to <site>/<assettype>/<tname>. This fix allows you to maintain two forms of SiteCatalog entries :

    <site>/<assettype>/<tname>.

    <site>/<rootelement>

Both the site catalog entries will point to the same element file.

Rollup Installer changes

A new screen is added to the Rollup Installer that will allow a user to select an editor (ImageEditor, eWebEditPro and FCKEditor) that the installer will copy and deploy. Any customizations that were done to the attribute editors should be backed up prior to running the rollup installer.

What's new in Content Server 7.0.2?

What's new in Content Server 7.0.1?

- Creation and management of static-lists.

- Creation and management of Page Assets.

- Placement and un-placement of pages.

- Expanded support for localization (such as for images, messages, and search results).

- Image operations like resize, crop, rotate etc

- Integration with Image Picker—background and foreground images can be selected with Image Picker.

- Capability to add text on top of an image as a layer. All layers are flattened on save and cannot be reedited.

- Configurability (functionality can be hidden).

- Integration with all three interfaces—Dash, Advanced, and InSite.

- Ability to pass text and image parameters

- Previewing of Flash Assets.

- Integration with all three interfaces—Dash, Advanced, and InSite.

- Thumbnail categorization for rapid access.

- Ability to restrict categories

- Configurable thumbnail scaling.

- Keyword search of images.

- Image magnification.

- Integration with all three interfaces—Dash, Advanced, and InSite.

- Better tracking of content edits: Edited fields are listed for each Asset. Associated Asset Types are available via mouseover.

- Clearer indications of editable and edited content: Editable content is surrounded by dotted borders. Edited, unsaved content is surrounded by solid borders.

- Integration with Image Picker, Image Editor, and Flash Asset / Attribute Editor.

- New Global Index Source Configuration Screen. This screen provides detailed control over the search index, allowing for the enabling, pausing, deleting, and re-indexing of individual Asset Types.

- Support for Lucene’s index configuration.

- Stabilization of interface components.

- More consistent look and feel across and within browsers.

- Updated images, icons, and colors.

- Tighter integration and seamless switching between interfaces.

Expire cached pages instead of expunging by marking their expiration date to a past date. Expired pages are cleaned up asynchronously by CacheServer. This makes asset saves and publishing much faster. The following property has been added:  

 

Set cs.expireonly=true in futuretense.ini to switch to this new behavior.

 

What's new in Content Server 7.0?

 

The benefits of CS7's three interfaces include

 

- An effective mapping between the power of CS7.and the diverse needs of your content management team.

- Reduced learning curves and increased productivity.

- Reduction of costly IT and resource constraints, empowering all types of users to put content to work

.

 

 

The InSite Page Builder lets designers quickly build a web page. After searching for content, the designer simply drags and drops it into a slot on a structured canvas. In this way, content can be easily added and rearranged. Again, no formal knowledge of a content management is required, simply your existing content and a smart sense of design.

 

 

The benefits of CS7's full-text search include

 

- Faster access to your content

- Pluggable, out-of-the-box search engine

- Full-text search across all content in the CS7 repository (including uploaded documents)

- Ability to query content using familiar keywords and metadata.

 

Today's global businesses require their content in multiple languages. FatWire's Content Server 7 has multi-lingual support built directly into the data model: As a result, any content—article, press release, catalog entry—can be translated into multiple languages, including double-byte languages such as Chinese or Korean. Furthermore, you can translate content directly in CS7 using a convenient language-to-language comparison display or export it to a third-party translation service. Language versions of the same content can go through workflow independently, when publishing needs are unique, or together, when they need to be published at the same time.

The benefits of CS7's multi-lingual support include

- Multi-lingual capabilities built into the data model

- Language-to Language comparisons directly from the interface

- Translation into double-byte languages (such as Chinese)

- Exporting for translation by a third-party provider

- Workflow of language versions as a group or independently

 - Session objects

 - AssetDataManager: A manager for reading asset data. 

 - AssetTypeDefManager: A manager for reading asset type’s definition (structure of an asset type). 

 - AssetData: Asset’s data, basically a collection of AttributeData instances and some more information about the asset itself.

Features Not supported in 7.0.x

·         Verity search engine is not supported.

  Installation and Upgrade Notes

General Notes

See the SPD on FatWire e-docs web site for the list of J2EE components (web servers, application servers, DBMSs, JDBC drivers, and so on) that CS 7.0.x supports. You should also check with FatWire Support to see if there are any known issues with the configuration you wish to use.

Also, refer to the vendor release notes for all J2EE components to find the latest e-fixes, patches, and service packs required to run your component.

Content Server 7.0.x works in application servers running J2SDK/J2RE  1.5 and above. Please make sure that appropriate version of JRE in installed and configured before installing Content Server.

Please also make sure that older versions of the JDK or JRE are not present in the PATH or CLASSPATH environment variables, especially if you plan to run Content Server in an environment that relies on these entries to be correct (Resin, for example).

Another common problem encountered is a type of JSPException with a message like the following: "The major.minor version '48.0' is too recent for this tool to understand". This error is related to the incorrect version of tools.jar in the class path. Make sure tools.jar loaded belongs to the correct JRE by launching JVM with a -verbose option.

Windows install fails if there is a space in the path to CS home directory

The file csRollupInstall.sh is not executable as shipped, you must change the file to be executable for installation.

Max Perm Gen must be set to over 96 Megs  -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

In Application/Portal server jvm options, include the setting -Djava.awt.headless=true

Content Server contains a modified version of the Microsoft XML Parser in the MSXML.jar file, which can cause conflicts if another version is in use. If you have Microsoft's version of MSXML.jar installed on your machine and this file is referenced in the CLASSPATH environment variable, you must change the path to the Content Server version; otherwise, Content Server fails when parsing XML.

After installation a restart of the domain is necessary for the Dash UI to work.

If an installation of CS fails then do the following before retrying the installation:

·         Drop the database tables

·         Undeploy the .ear/.war file

·         Delete the CS installation folder

·         Restart the application/webservers

Running the installer on top of a failed install corrupts SatelliteServer.properties file. The workaround is to manually set the properties correctly or run the installation after cleaning up the failed install.

ft.sync is automatically unset during upgrades. so note down the value before the upgrade

COM.FutureTense.CS.Factory.getInstance() determines which host:port CS is installed on by looking at the first entry in the FWLicense.xml. Make sure there is a valid host:port first in the list (i.e. CS is listening there).
 

Changes made to all of the .properties files under WEB-INF/classes will only be preserved if the cs.war file and ContentServer.ear file are updated. These two files are under $INSTALL_DIR/ominstallinfo/app folder.  If they are not sync with the exploded folder, then no changes are preserved.

Content Server 7.0.2 installer for WebLogic 10 looks for an autodeploy directory even if manual deployment is selected during the installation process. On the Application Deployment 2 screen, there is a selection checkbox entitled "This application will be manually deployed." When verifying that the WebLogic domain path is valid; the installer will perform an unnecessary check if an autodeploy directory.

Please also read the open bugs for Installer - Upgrades before you upgrade

 

Asset Type Name Restrictions

The following lists show the asset type names used by CS. Custom asset types must not use any of the names from the Standard Assets list. If a custom asset type exists in your installation with the same name as below upgrade scripts will encounter errors. If your custom assets have the names listed below, manually back up their data and elements before starting the upgrade process.

NOTE - Asset type names cannot contain special characters like :,"/ etc

 

Also if you wish to install the sample sites, your custom asset types cannot use the names from the relevant list.

 

 

Standard assets - These asset types are created by default:

 

 

Asset Types installed by FirstSiteII sample site:

 

 

Asset Types installed by BurlingtonFinancial sample site:

 

 

Asset Types installed by GE Lighting sample site:

 

 

Asset Types installed by HelloAssetWorld sample site:

 

 

Asset Types installed by Spark sample site:

 

Restricted Names for Asset Types:

 

The following names (in alphabetical order) are reserved for Content Server's use and must not be assigned to custom asset types:

Security Notes

For security reasons, we recommend that you allow only internal access to the following servlets:

·         Install

·         HelloCS

·         CatalogManager

·         TreeManager

·         DebugServer

·         CacheServer

Tomcat

Set cs.jspresponsewrapper=false in futuretense.ini

Browser

On IE, the Tools > Internet Options > Settings > Every Visit to the page must be set to true.

To change the character set for Internet Explorer 6.0, click View > Encoding > Unicode (UTF-8).

Notes:

  Dash, Advanced and InSite - buttons on the top bar work correctly if they popup in different browser windows. It wont work if the popup is configured to be a tab

  Tree applet conflicts if you have both CS 6.3 and 7.0.x running on the same machine on the same port, so make sure to avoid such a situation. To resolve Java applet issue

1. Right-click the JVM icon in the system tray.
2. Select 'Open Control Panel'.
3. In the JVM Control Panel...

a. Navigate to the General tab.
b. Click the 'Delete Files...' button in the Temporary Internet Files section.
c. Click OK to delete the temporary Java internet files.

4. Right-click the JVM icon in the system tray again.

(#17297)  Performance issues when more than 50,000 files in a directory

BulkLoader / BulkApprover

(#17446)  BulkLoader fails to complete on faster machines due to the main thread exiting before the worker threads begin

(#18540)  Added properties to specify BulkLoader Mapping Tables and BulkApprover Target Table.

·         approvalTargetTableName and idMapTableName - these are used to specify the table names that are created by the BulkLoader utility.

·         threadStartupTime - this is added to configure the sleep time of the main thread to wait for other (worker) threads to join. This is a customizable parameter set in milliseconds but should not be set to '0'.

These are optional properties and if the values are not specified then the default values as specified below are used to preserve backward compatibility:

1) approvalTargetTableName=bulk_appr_targets
2) idMapTableName=bulkloader_ids
3) threadStartupTime=5000

* Important Note *
Running multiple BulkLoader instances simultaneously is not recommended and in some cases can cause data corruption.

PageBuilder

(#18354)  When templates are revision tracked and more than one user tries to save the template using PageBuilder UI displays an incorrect message

1.    Set cs.nocache=true in futuretense.ini (for all clustered members)

2.    Make sure that ft.sync and ft.usedisksync are not empty and are the same value on all cluster members.

3.    xcelerate.lockdir property in futuretense_xcel.ini must not be empty and have the same value on all cluster members

4.    Please specify switch -Dinsite.saveslotsonly=true in VM options (for all clustered members). This will enable the new functionality to save template composition entries instead of the entire template asset during PageBuilder.

5.    You can also configure wait time and iteration count for retries by configuring -Dinsite.waittime (default 20, it is in mille seconds) and -Dinsite.numiterations (default 100 iterations) in VM options.

(#16807) AssetTree displays a null node if the number of nodes under a group node is greater than the xcelerate.treeMaxNodes property

(#16810) In the Left Nav Asset Tree Tab, the asset types were also displayed as links

(#16813) In the Left Nav Asset Tree Tab, the logging levels for unsupported asset types was set to error

FCKEditor

(#16352) JavaScript codes are appended to attribute data when users have an unclosed DIV tag

To workaround this issue; after cut and paste the code into FCKEditor change to WYSIWYG mode, FCKEditor then does an evaluation of the HTML tags and corrects the missing DIV tag.

(#16826) FCKEditor failed to resize despite specifying the XSIZE and YSIZE in the attribute editor xml.

(#16990) When inserting an image using the insert image button from the FCKEditor toolbar, the message "Upload a new file in this folder (Upload in progress, please wait...)" appears but the file does not get uploaded.

This button has been removed as this limitation exists between Content Server and FCKEditor.

(#16691) Search index event causing session overflow in WebSphere

XMLPost

(#16373) Unable to clear attribute via XMLPost /modifyData

1. Basic assets:

·         Use a constant '_EMPTY_' in the value field of an attribute whose value is to be cleared

2. Flex assets:

·         Single Value: Usage of _EMPTY_ to clear out values

·         Multi Valued Attributes: In the value field, a ';' should be specified as the case of multi-valued attributes is different. Here the values are passed in a ';' separated fashion.

o    Example if we have values of 'fruits' apple, oranges, grapes. And in the xml post file if we use <fruits>mango;apple</fruits>. Then the new values will overwrite existing values. In the end we will only have mango and apple as values.

·         Blobs: Use  _EMPTY_ to clear out values. If you want to remove files, then there is no need to pass the file itself.

o    Example:
The ini file has two entries:
posturlpicture=y
fileurlpicture=y

The first property means that we are passing the name of the file (with extension) and the second property means that we are also passing the file itself using XMLPost  If we intend to remove the url picture, then

<urlpicture>_EMPTY_</urlpicture>

posturlpicture= y
fileurlpicture= n (or we can ignore this property by not including it in the .ini file)

Satellite Server

(#15920) Asset save slow due to large number of unknown dependencies

(#16127) CS blows full cache for a remote SS even though only 1 asset is edited and only 2 items in remote SS cache depend on that cid

(#16179) CS does not flush Satellite Server cache cleanly if cache key for the page contains HTML encoded characters

The characters in the cache key are encoded by both remote and co-resident SS. The flush command now encodes the cache keys appropriately.

The following rules apply for encoding and decoding of URLs:

  • The alphanumeric characters "a" through "z", "A" through "Z" and "0" through "9" remain the same.
  • The special characters ".", "-", "*", and "_" remain the same.
  • The space character " " is converted into a plus sign "+".
  • All other characters are unsafe and are first converted into one or more bytes using some encoding scheme. Then each byte is represented by the 3-character string "%xy", where xy is the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the byte. The recommended encoding scheme to use is UTF-8. However, for compatibility reasons, if an encoding is not specified, then the default encoding of the platform is used.

For more information about HTML form encoding, consult the HTML specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/

(#15851) SS does not correctly pass parameters when they contain a double quote mark

(#15914) SS shouldn't transmit host_service header to the browser

(#15925) Remote Satellite Server does not pass some headers to CS

(#15936) In case of RSS feed, MIME-type of the URL is set to application/rss+xml. The result is invalid when using Satellite.

        For the Elements where you plan to support RSS object, set resdetails2 property to "cs.contenttype=application/rss+xml"

(#16043) When using an element that calls satellite:form tag it truncates the URL after 98 characters. 

(#16137 ) Property ss.flushall needs to be set to false instead of default value true

We current flush satellite server caches in series, using a single thread. Adding more SS's increases the time to flush. This change introduces one flusher thread per satellite to bring that under control.
We now have two ways to flush satellite servers - do a complete flush (set ss.flushall=true in futuretense.ini), or flush affected pagelets only (default).

API

 (#15369) Add a bulk asset load utility in Asset API to enhance performance of Dash UI

(#15371) API: Now CS uses a Weak Reference to load binary data in memory only when it is needed

(#14884) 404 error not forwarded to error page in WebLogic

(#15206) CS doesn't work properly if you set varchar2 to CHAR in Oracle

If you setup Oracle database to use CHAR for VARCHAR2 instead of BYTE which is the default. This causes problems where the system tries to save the data from URL fields in the database rather than on the file system.

If you run the SiteCatalog entry, you wouldn't be allowed to (preview in CS-Direct is fine). If you edit the SiteEntry asset to make it a wrapper, the flag is changed to 'F'. This should let you run the SiteCatalog entry but it wouldn't under Satellite Server unless you flush the cache manually. The problem here is Satellite Server is not informed of the change. Again, it works fine in preview in CS-Direct.

Satellite Server

(#14931) Publish and Cache issue - a time window exists where blank pages would get stored in cache for valid assets

(#15162) Satellite Server returns 404 instead of 403 on protected pagelets

(#15361) Users could not pass parameters from Satellite Server portlets back to Content Server. Now they can.

Users can now call a method in a custom portlet class (that extends the com.openmarket.Satellite.portlet.Satellite class) that will add arbitrary parameters to the request. This allows them to send any parameters to CS that they want to, whether they come from the portlet session, a config file, or out of thin air. Javadoc documentation is up-to-date for these classes. While this does not go so far as to define an .ini file configuration naming convention, it provides all of the flexibility that such a mechanism would allow, but remains clean and simple.

API

(#16109 ) The urlxml field is not exported when using asset:export for AttrTypes assets

BulkLoader / BulkApprover

·         Without validation, the utility ignores versioning on content. With validation, if the content type is under versioning, it will not update the content.

·         Page cache is not flushed by BulkLoader. as page cache is persistent, the cache should be cleared prior to running BulkApprover

·         BulkApprover requires running Content Server as it is implemented via CS tags

·         Flex filters are not fired (for example, FieldCopier)

·         BulkLoader does not support Blobs; for this you should use XMLPost

·         BulkLoader should not be executed while Content Server is running

·         When assets are added using BulkLoader, the assets will not be indexed in Lucence. You will need to re-indexed after import.

·         BulkApprover will not update the PubAsset Table to reflect the publish status after running Approve and Mark_Publish

Satellite Server

(#16062) Satellite Server does not cache blobs if blob cache size on CS set to zero

(#16074) Remote Satellite Server is not sending accurate http error codes

(#16183) Changing the property for "Usage" in the element section of a template does not remove the pages based on that template from the cache. To workaround this issue, go back to the template, edit the code or change the caching property of the template and the cache will flush.

(#16126) When cc.SystemPageCacheCSz=-1 the result set cannot be flushed.

(#16145)Content Server flush request does not reach Satellite Server as mod_jk confuses HOST_SERVICE header as HOST header

Miscellaneous

(#15917) When using RemoteContentPost to add revision tracked assets, they are stuck in an uneditable state

If any revision tracked assets have been added revision tracked assets using XMLPost Utility (before this change), then those will remain in a non-editable state. Even after this fix those assets cannot be edited using the XMLPost utility. Part of the fix is to delete those assets first and then add them again using the XMLPost utility after this change. Those assets can then be edited through XMLPost Utility.

(#16217) Basic Assets - Validation is failing when a value is entered in a required field

If a field associated with Rich text editor is a required field then the validation is failing even if there is a value in the field. In order to work around this issue, please make the field optional.

CatalogManager

(#605) Deleting tables using CatalogManager.

If you have enabled revision tracking for an object table, and then you delete the table using CatalogManager, Content Server still thinks that the table is being revision tracked.

(#2037) SystemSQL column tablename is allowed to be null.

Content Server allows the value in the tablename column in the SystemSQL table to be null. However, for result set caching to work properly, this value must be specified.

(#2534) Cannot log in to Content Server if username is the same as "id" value in SystemUsers.

You cannot log into Content Server if the username you are using to log in has the same "id" value of a different user in the SystemUsers table. For example, DefaultReader has an ID value of 2. If you create a user with the username "2," that user cannot log in.

Database

(#1131) LONG and LONG RAW columns cannot be mirrored.

When using Oracle, LONG and LONG RAW columns cannot be mirrored. Use a URL column rather than a LONG or LONG RAW.

(#1700) For Microsoft SQL Server databases, Content Server recommends maximum length of 4000 characters for Varchar columns.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 database allows a maximum size of 8000 characters in a varchar type column. Using JDBC, however, it is possible to insert/update data of only 4000 characters or less using prepared statement technique (Content Server users this technique). Attempts to insert/update data larger than that size fail with an error. As a result of this anomaly, Content Server’s insert/updates fail with the following message in the logs “Disallowed implicit conversion from data type ntext to data type varchar”.

It is therefore advised that that the varchar column be created with capacity less than 4000. If size requirement for this column is greater than 4000, please consider using a ‘URL type’ field.

(#3617)  Content Server doesn't handle field length correctly when using UTF-8.

e.g. The maximum length of asset's name is 64 characters in html form (input type="text" maxlength="64"). If I enter 64 ä-letters into the text field, SQLException occurs. That happens because the name field is VARCHAR(64), which is 64 bytes which is incorrect for UTF-8.

Embedded Links

(#6623) It is possible to embed an embedded link inside another embedded link.

CS-Direct does not stop users from embedding links inside other embedded links. If this happens, the links may not be resolved on the page that displays the asset (that is, they are broken links).

(#10323) Embedded pagelets, using the 'Include' link, can not be rendered in the InSite Editor if eWebEditPro is true.

The Insite.Edit tag should have the eWebEditPro=true attribute removed when displaying an embedded pagelet.

eWebEditPro

(#13626) Editing fails if MAXLENGTH is specified for an eWebEditPro field.

Setting the MAXLENGTH attribute in the eWebEditPro does not allow an asset to be saved. This requires a manual edit in an eWebEditPro file. Edit ewep.js and search for "var editorEstimateContentSize=". Change whole to body e.g.
    var editorEstimateContentSize="whole";
        to
    var editorEstimateContentSize="body";

Flex Asset

(#9442) Asset types other than flex assets may show in the Admin when tree is not displayed.

When the treeview is toggled off and you click "List All Flex Family Asset Types," the list returned are not all flex assets.

(#10500) Changing a flex attribute from multi-valued to single-valued causes problems for some existing data

The UI should prohibit this change if there is any multivalued data for the attribute in the system.

(#10844) FlexAssets: CS has problem distinguishing between attributes with same name but different case

If 2 attributes exist with same name but case is different, e.g., Name and name, and one has external editing and storage, we do not do the right thing when creating an asset which has both or either one of the attributes. Existing data is overwritten with incorrect data or data is lost.

(#12143) Creating Flex Assets with foreign characters in the name corrupts the database.

(#14764) Deleting all ratings does not work in CS

When user deleting all the ratings from one asset from CS-Direct UI, CS Direct UI just ignores the command and behaves like nothing happened. However, if the user did delete through other ways, by setting ruleset to null/"" in loaded asset before save or through new UI (we allow people to do that), CS only delete the entry created in AssetType_Extension table and left RuleSetDef and RuleMap untouched. The leaves the asset into a stage that no more ratings could be added anymore. (You would see an unique id violation when trying to set ratings again).

InSite Editor

(#7316) InSite Editor needs to perform an additional check when revision tracking is on.

When a user views an asset in the InSite Editor, the InSite Editor checks to make sure the asset is not locked and it displays the most recent version. However, it does not lock the asset until the user clicks the pencil icon.

At that point, when it does lock the asset, the InSite Editor should check the version one more time. It does not. Because the asset was not locked, it is possible that another user could have opened, edited, and saved it while the first user was viewing it. This means that the original user could now be working on an out-of-date version of the asset.

 (#11890) Selecting a workflow assignment may close InSite Editor.

If an assignment link is selected from InSite Editor and the link points to an asset that is unsupported for editing by ISE, then ISE will close.

(#13061) InSiteEditor does not refresh to show the pencil icons for editing after the deny permission to edit is removed for author user.

To keep up with the performance, InSite content is designed to be cached with other part of the pagelet. The current implementation keeps track of all direct dependencies, including access permission and workflow state, which are all direct related to the asset instance.  The workaround is to flush CS and SS cache and the pencil icons will start showing correctly.

(#13865) Links to anchor tags created with eWebEditPro with InSite editing get messed up.

When you add a link to an anchor tag in eWebEditPro during in-site editing and save it the link gets prefixed with the current URL.

(#14790) Cant edit an asset from 'InSite editor' if the asset type is enabled for revision tracking

This behavior is also inconsistent. If user 'logs out' and 'logs in' into Advanced UI, then it working properly. But, in many cases user have to clear the cache and proceed.

(#14791) In InSite Editor users get a JavaScript error on clicking 'Edit' button associated with eWebEditPro/RealObjects, if the asset is enabled for Revision Tracking.

InSite Templating

(#15166) InSite: Search drop down shows blank lines if start menus do not have description

Installer - Upgrades

(#16639) Upgrade from CS6.x to CS7.x causes the following issues in Static Publishing:

1.      Pubkey parameters in different order cause duplicates

2.      Pubkey parameters encoding causes duplicates

Should you experience this problem, contact US Support to obtain a script and tool to resolve the problem.

(#15644) Upgrade doesn't set the FCKEditor property in futuretense_xcel.ini

After upgrade, you must manually set the property xcelerate.fckeditor.basepath=/[CONTEXT_ROOT]/FCKeditor/ e.g, /cs/FCKeditor/

(#15730) Upgrade from CS 6.3: Incorrect KeyView.jar file gets inserted in Windows

There are two Keyview.jar files when upgrading - one comes from CS 6.3 install and another is installed by the upgrade code In CS 6.3 - it was 'keyview.jar' In CS 7.0.2 - its KeyView.jar The correct one is KeyView.jar. While upgrading on Windows - sometimes KeyView.jar is replaced by keyview.jar - which is the incorrect version.

Workaround: Copy KeyView.jar and replace it in Web-INF\lib folder (In unix/Linux - both files coexist - so CS can pick up the correct jar file)

(#15747) Upgrading to CS 7.0.x fails if the FirstSiteII data relating to AssetSubTypes was edited before upgrade.

So if you are using FirstSiteII and modify FirstSIte II data ( in CS 6.x or CS 7.0) and then try to upgrade to CS 7.0.x. It will fail on AssetSubtypes table.
Workaround - If you face this failure, then run the following scripts at database and restart the upgrade.

delete from assetsubtypes a where a.assettype='Page' and a.subtype='Cart' and a.pubid=(select b.id from publication b where b.description ='FirstSite Mark II');
delete from assetsubtypes a where a.assettype='Page' and a.subtype='Home' and a.pubid=(select b.id from publication b where b.description ='FirstSite Mark II');
delete from assetsubtypes a where a.assettype='Page' and a.subtype='Product' and a.pubid=(select b.id from publication b where b.description ='FirstSite Mark II');
delete from assetsubtypes a where a.assettype='Page' and a.subtype='Search' and a.pubid=(select b.id from publication b where b.description ='FirstSite Mark II');

commit;

(#15774) Image, Linkset and Article asset type elements are always imported even if the BF sample site is not installed

If custom asset types of the same name exist then the upgrade installer will incorrectly overwrite the elements.

Workaround: Before the upgrade is started,

1) Locate the file ContentServer\Xcelerate\Populate\ElementCatalog.html in the directory from which the installer is being run. Please delete the entry for the asset type which is causing the conflict.  e.g. If Image asset type name is being used then search for all entries starting with "OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/Image" and delete those records completely. A sample entry to be removed is shown below.

<tr>
<td><ft4509b/>OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/Image/ContentDetails<ft4509e/></td>
<td><ft4509b/>Show Image Details<ft4509e/></td>
<td><ft4509b/>OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/Image/ContentDetails.xml<ft4509e/></td>
<td><ft4509b/><ft4509e/></td>
<td><ft4509b/><ft4509e/></td>
</tr>

2) Locate the file ContentServer\Xcelerate\Populate\SystemSQL.html in the directory from which the installer is being run. Please delete the entry for the asset type which is causing the conflict and start the upgrade again.  e.g. If Image asset type name is being used then search for all entries starting with "OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/Image" and delete those records completely and start the upgrade. A sample entry to be removed is shown below.

<tr>
<td>OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/Image/SelectSummary</td>
<td>Select summary info for an image</td>
<td>OpenMarket/Xcelerate/AssetType/Image/SelectSummary.sql</td>
<td>Image</td>
</tr>

The workaround for this issue is valid for the CS 7.0.2 Advanced interface, but not for the Dash interface. In the Dash interface, a custom asset type named "Image" or "Article" will not be listed as a New or Search start menu item, and it will not be displayed in the asset tree. See issue #16077.

(#16077)  Dash UI does not allow you to search for or create Image or Article assets since Image and Article are reserved asset type names.

(#15954) When upgrading Content Server, if you have existing database tables with a length that is longer than 25 characters, the upgrade process will create two new tables by appending the table names with _dim and _dimp. The following exception also may occur:

SQLException executing statement: CREATE TABLE Mirror_Timeslot_Children_Ntd_Dim (id NUMBER(38) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, cs_ownerid NUMBER(38) NOT NULL, cs_dimensiontype VARCHAR(32) NULL, cs_dimensionid VARCHAR(32) NULL)

Please contact technical support for a utility to workaround this issue.

(#15826) When upgrading from 7.0.1 to 7.0.2 an exception is received if a required Article asset type is not present.

(#15992) When upgrading from 6.2 to 7.0.2 using Oracle Database and WebLogic following the steps in the SPD will require that a change also be made to omproduct.ini. All occurrences of Version=D must be changed to Version=Burns3

(#16024) The upgrade does not re-register custom basic asset types. After upgrading any custom basic asset types that have been previously created must be manually re-registered, and merge back in any customizations to those elements if applicable.

(#15983) After upgrade from 7.0 to 7.0.2, the Tree Tab in Dash UI does not display correctly for Basic Assets Types.

(#16120) Publishing - Upgrade from 6.2 to 7.02 breaks the directory property for static publishing

This is an isolated case where the client was trying to use an embedded link with an invalid type of "image". However even if the attribute is incorrect and invalid, when saved, it should not leave the attribute empty. It seems that when the attribute is saved, the original data is removed and the attribute is emptied. It then tries to load the attribute with the new data but throws an exception due to the invalid embedded link. Instead of it saving the attribute now as empty, it should retrieve the original data and repopulate it so it doesn't lose the attribute. This can most likely happen to attributes regardless of what the error or exception is.

(#14750) Preview does not work with xml debug turned on

When xml debug is turned on Preview does not work anymore. Reason is that the xml element is validated against the dtd when xml debug is turned on , but the validation fails.

This would allow users to select or deselect multiple values for a checkbox attribute. The saved attribute will be stored as a comma separated string in the database. This is the only way we allowed multiple values for an AssetMaker asset attribute. In Alloy we will not allow this behavior thru the new UI. Checkboxes will always show up as RadioButtons for AssetMaker assets.

More "Variables.***" is displayed on this inspect screen.

Publishing

 (#1752) The publishing process cannot mirror query assets that are referenced in the code in an attribute editor asset.

(#14265) Problem approving shared templates with mappings for assets in multiple sites.

1. We have one Template called "T" 2. We have two sites called "A" and "B" 3. We have one Page asset per site: P1 is on A and P2 is on B 4. The "T" Template is shared to both sites 5. The "T" Template has two mappings: Homepage for A has a value of Page:P1, and Homepage for B has a value of Page:P2 6. When we attempt to approve the T Template to publish the A site, it requires us to approve BOTH P1 and P2. 7. However, we only want to approve P1 since the B site is not ready to be published 8.

(#14855) Changing display template results in multiple assets in pub list

For a site that uses static publishing when you change the template on an asset and save it, and publish, then  the asset remains in the publish list with the old template and also shows in the new one. Changing to a 3rd template on the asset and publishing added it to the publish list 3 times (one for each template it had been saved and published with). This is a problem because the template the user want is higher in the list than the other ones, and so the html output is overwritten with one of the template choices the user doesn't want.

(#15030) AssetPublishList and _Publish tables need to be manually cleaned prior to publish especially if any publish operations have failed midway in the past. CS needs functionality to do an automatic cleanup before publish

(#15158) CS: Publishing checked out assets causes it to be permanently locked on destination when publish fails

With revision tracking turned on, and if you were to publish over an asset that have been checked out on the source machine, it is still marked as locked in the destination until the publish ends. However, if the publish fails, this lock cannot be removed and future publishes of this asset will fail since this asset is locked on the destination machine.

(#2458) SQLEXP adds a percent sign (%) to the front and back of the literal when LIKE is used.

(#) POST tag sends login and logout requests to the URL being posted.

The POST tag works incorrectly when USERNAME, PASSWORD or LOGOUT attributes are passed to it. Login and logout requests are sent to the URL being posted to instead of CatalogManager. One workaround is to perform login before this tag is executed. Alternatively, FormPoster API can be directly used to perform the post operation.

(#5763) SEARCHSTATE.ADDRICHTEXTCONSTRAINT fails when the resultset returns more than 1000 rows.

Template

(#3210, #13653) JSP pages rendered have too much white-space

(#8014) Do not use <throwexception> in template code.

Do not use the tag <throwexception> in the code of a template asset. <throwexception> effectively kills execution in CS for itself and any nested or parent CS engine. This breaks template execution and streaming of data to the client. In addition, when a user approves a template for export publish, a <throwexception> terminates the execution of the approval page and the user gets no feedback.

(#12055) Approval may display an error (-10004) if template logic expects an argument that is not supplied by the Approval process.

Element logic which expects to be passed an argument may generate an error (-10004) when called during approval for export publish if that argument is not present. The error code is displayed in an information box after approval. The template writer should decide whether the error can be safely ignored, i.e. if the error occurs because the template or element is being called out of context and does not affect the approval dependencies.

(#13942) JSP is not always regenerated after a publishing to a cluster.

Workaround is to restart the cluster members once publish is complete

(#15107) Asset.import is not saving file content for templates

(#15117) SiteEntry user interface doesn't provide ability to set usage (this is there in the template screen)

(#15118) Template: cannot reset Usage field without restarting CS

(#15436) If you make the SiteEntry asset a wrapper, when you previewing other assets, it will pick up this SiteEntry even though it is not intended. This is especially true if this SiteEntry is only wrapper in the site.

Users and User Management

(#3267) CS supports only Reads (not Writes) from the Active Directory implementation of LDAP.

For an installation of Content Server that uses Active Directory for User Management, the jndi user specified should only have read permissions. We do not guarantee what will happen if he has write permission.

(#2153) The dir:replaceattrs tag does not give an error when an attribute or user does not exist.

The dir:replaceattrs tag, which is part of the CS-Direct application that Content Server uses for user management, does not throw an exception when it is trying to replace the user attribute value of a nonexistent user attribute or for a nonexistent user.

(#8455) Deleting a user at the Content Server level does not delete that user at the CS-Direct level.

When a user is deleted at the Content Server level through Content Server Management Tools, that user is not deleted from CS-Direct sites.

(#9647) To remove a user from LDAP, first remove the user’s roles in CS

If a CS Administrator wants to remove a user from the LDAP, he should first remove all the user’s roles in the CS-Direct interface. If this step is not completed, the user can have dangling rows in UserPublication table when LDAP is used to store users (& ACLs) and CS database (UserPublication table) is used to store user roles.

(#13432) Updates made to ACLs are not reflected consistently

If the updates are made using CS User Admin Screen, they are reflected immediately. However, if ACLs are updated directly in LDAP server, then we recommend that you

1.                   Restart your portal/Application server for the changes to take effect or

2.                   Flush ACL cache using the URL
http://localhost:7001/spark/CatalogManager?ftcmd=flushcatalog&tablename=SystemUsers&authusername=admin&authpassword=xceladmin

If a user without any ACL logs in to CS, CS allows user to perform only those operations that a user with Browser ACL can perform.

(#13481) Advance Search UI screen stops rendering if you delete a user from CS Management Tools or CS Explorer

 If a user is enabled for a site and you delete the user from ContentServer Management Tools interface or from SystemUsers in Content Server Explorer, AdvanceSearch UI screen will not render. The workaround is to delete the corresponding user entry from UserPublication table

(13560) Call Stack is printed in futuretense.txt whenever a role is updated or deleted in LDAP

A call stack is seen in futuretense.txt on WebLogic 81 portal installations (See below). This is a debug message and does not indicate any problem with the LDAP integration.

May 13, 2005 3:30:05 PM][CS.AUTH][INFO] Print Call stack. Delete Role WorkflowAdmin from database and from ldap. Page name is OpenMarket/Xcelerate/Installation/AddRole

(#13599) DefaultReader is not needed in CS if integrated with an external LDAP

This is an inconsistency between database and LDAP user management. You need DefaultReader in database (SystemUsers) in case of native user management but you don't need this user in any system in case of external/LDAP user management.

(#15098) Template drop-down does not have the correct values for basic assets

(#15099) Dash UI - Copy keeps referenced by incorrectly

Dash UI - Copy keeps referenced by incorrectly 1). Create a product asset - say A - (this is the master) 2). Create a translation - say B 3). Go back to asset 'A' and click on copy (don't click on save) Observe - In the Relation tab - the Referenced by shows 'B'. (this is because its copying everything from A - which is incorrect) On saving - the referenced by is refreshed correctly

(#15104) Dash: "Tags" tab does not appear on the top after clicking on "dash" button

(#15211) If the number of attributes in an asset is large and you scroll down the asset pane, the control buttons also scroll off the window.

(#15233) Access Permissions are inherited to child Folder. UI is supposed to show it the inherited permissions too, but it does not show.

(#15283) If you have 3 fields with image editor attributes, when you edit an asset with values for all 3 fields set, and delete the second image, it copies the third image in place of the deleted image i.e. in second Image Editor

(#15623) Dash: by default, Dash UI displays 500 assets in a search result.  In some cases, it might display less than 500 results, even though the total number of assets is greater than 500.

(#15626) Dash: If the number of assignees is large then the first create screen loads slowly

(#15627) Dash: you will not be able to create a Page asset unless you create a record in the category table for page asset type for your site.

Dash UI requires the category field to be specified for page assets.  To specify a category you must have categories defined.  Since by default there is no category defined, you must create a category for page asset in each site you plan to use the page asset from dash UI. This is only specific to Dash UI since Advanced UI does not place such restrictions on the Page assets.

(#15631) Dash: Add new translation is much slower compared to create or copy of assets.

(#15685) While editing a piece of content with the TextArea editor the Addlink / Include buttons disappear in the Dash UI

(#15689) Dash UI throws Error -105 when you try to manually enter a date attribute in format 2007/4/5 and try to save the asset.  If you use the date picker, then it correctly formats the date to 2007-4-5..

Workflow

(#8211) Canceling Set Participants causes the workflow to be set to all participants.

If you select a workflow for an asset, then go to the Set Participants form, then click the Cancel button, the workflow is set to all participants, as if you had selected the Select All button.

(#9651) When a user takes a Retained Assignment workflow step, an entry in the workflow history is not created.

On a retained assignment, entering content into the "Action Taken" text box produces the following message: “This step retains the current assignment. Content entered into the “Action Taken” field will not be recorded.”

(#9654) After doing "Finish My Assignment" the "Abstain" function is missing.

When a user has finished their assignment and the assignment is 'queued' (in an all-voting step) the Abstain function is incorrectly missing from the workflow actions dropdown. If this occurs when the asset is in workflow deadlock, the user may change his vote to fix the deadlock.

(# No bug Id)  Workflow behavior varies when done from Dash as compared to Advanced UI

In advanced UI, when we create a new asset whose asset type is associated with a workflow process, and if that workflow process has a start-step-type set to "Assign participants from a list" we do not show a "Select Participants" option so that users can optionally select the set of participants. The users can continue their operation and asset save will be successful. However, workflow for that asset will NOT be started. The status screen for that asset says that the asset has the workflow process associated but the state is inactive.

In dash UI, for the same scenario, again asset creation is successful and workflow for the asset is STARTED. However the participants for the workflow will be ALL the users for the set of roles specified in the workflow process definition. This behavior is identical to the one where a user selects the Select All option in the Select Participants screen and starts the workflow for the asset.

CS Clients

CS-Desktop

(#5928) Undocumented limitation: You cannot specify named associations for an asset with CS-Desktop.

(#8125) You cannot specify values for flex attributes of type asset with CS-Desktop.

This means that flex assets that have a required attribute of type asset should not be enabled for CS-Desktop.

(#8504) When you edit a flex definition and change the number of parents that flex assets using that definition can have from single to multiple, there are problems with existing flex assets of that definition.

In such a case, when a CS-Desktop user opens a flex asset that was created with the original definition, there are no parents marked for the asset. To work around this issue, be sure that you do not enable flex asset types for CS-Desktop until you are completely finished configuring their definitions.

(#9414, #12962) CS-Desktop toolbar does not show up when Word is used as email editor in Outlook. Also on Windows XP, it does not load correctly

If Outlook is already open, CS-Desktop toolbar will not be displayed when MSWord is opened to connect with ContentServer.  This only occurs if MSWord is configured to be the default email editor for Outlook and Outlook has been opened first.  Outlook maybe closed and MSWord reopened as a workaround.

Workaround: CS-Desktop is a word Add-in and not just a template. There is a very subtle difference between the two of them. Especially in the way they are loaded and run. The workaround for this bug is to move the CS-Desktop.dot from the word's startup folder out to somewhere safe for example in c:\Program Files\FatWire\. Now when you start Word or Outlook, the Content Server toolbar add-in won't be loaded. If you need to load it, Click on Tools --> Templates and Add-Ins -> Click Add and browse to the CS-Desktop.dot, when you add it and click okay, it will load our CS-Desktop add-in.

(#10337) CS-Desktop does not support connection via a proxy server.

(#11741) CS-Desktop Images are not saved if folder does not exist.

During file conversion by CS-Desktop (implemented by Verity KeyView), CS-Desktop writes image files to the folder specified by property keyview.imagedir in futuretense_xcel.ini. There are two requirements for the folder keyview.imagedir:

1.      It must be a web-accessible folder that matches the URL prefix specified in keyview.imgurl. This ensures that CS can preview the CS-Desktop images.

2.      The folder must exist before CS-Desktop is used. This ensures that the KeyView file conversion completes successfully and saves the images.

Note that after installing CS, keyview.imagedir is set to $SHARE-directory/remoteimages and keyview.imgurl is set to /futuretense_cs/remoteimages/. You may edit these value to point to an appropriate folder, or you may keep these values and create a folder named remoteimages.

(#13371) Using CS-Desktop the saved contents from word are not shown fully in the preview.

When data is saved using CS-Desktop in the form of table content then entire data is not saved hence not previewed.

(#13413) Unable to login to CS from CS Desktop using HTTPS as the validation for URL fails.

(#13648) Revision-tracked flex asset stays locked after closing CS-Desktop if the asset existed before revision-tracking was turned on or if the version number was updated from CS-Desktop.

(#14198) CS-Desktop toolbar does not show up when Outlook is open.

(#15712) CS-Desktop is not supported on 64-bit OS machines.

Content Server Explorer

(#3439) Content Server Explorer (CSE) issue with Export to Zip format

If your Content Server system is using the UTF-8 or Shift-JIS character sets, please be aware of the following problem with exporting tables in the ZIP format from CSE. File names (such as an element's URL file) containing non-English characters will cause the export to fail. As a workaround you can export those
records or the table using the CSE format. There is no problem with the content of the files (any valid UTF-8 or Shift-JIS characters will work), only the file names are an issue.

(#3644) CSE crashes when importing project with an empty catalog

Workaround is to make sure that all the catalogs in a project have at least one record
