IBM FileNet P8, Version 5.2.1            

IBM FileNet Image Services allows deletion of a property from a mapped document class

Properties that are deleted from an IBM® FileNet® Image Services document class are not deleted from Content Platform Engine.

Symptoms

When you delete a property from an IBM FileNet Image Services document class, but you do not update the mapping on Content Platform Engine, documents that originate on Content Platform Engine can be federated to IBM FileNet Image Services, but the deleted property does not federate.

Diagnosing the problem

Consider the following scenario:

  1. On Content Platform Engine, use Administration Console for Content Platform Engine to map a document class and property to an IBM FileNet Image Services document class. You can create and federate documents to IBM FileNet Image Services.
  2. On IBM FileNet Image Services, use the Database Maintenance application in Xapex to delete a property from the mapped document class. The property deletes from the document class without error.
  3. Now Content Platform Engine can create a document to this document class with data in this property. The document federates correctly to IBM FileNet Image Services, but no property values federate. There is no entry that is left in the replication queue, no Content Platform Engine log error for the document ID, and no entry in the IBM FileNet Image Services elog file.

Resolving the problem

No data is lost and no harm is done. However, because the document class is on IBM FileNet Image Services and the mapping is on Content Platform Engine, it is especially important to update the mapping when you delete a mapped property from a document class.
