Title: ALERT: IBM Content Manager OnDemand - Possible resource data deletion
Post by: Justin Derrick on May 25, 2021, 10:56:34 AM

IBM sent an Alert notification about the potential for resource deletion:

"In some circumstances, storing a resource to one of the affected storage managers results in the deletion of other similarly named stored resources from the same application group."

Quote

Abstract

In some circumstances, storing a resource to one of the affected storage managers results in the deletion of other similarly named stored resources from the same application group.

Who is affected?

If you are using Amazon S3, IBM Cloud Object Storage, or Hitachi Content Platform with one of the affected versions and platforms of Content Manager OnDemand and you are storing documents which contain resources (such as AFP, PDF, or XML), you might be affected.

The following table applies to all Content Manager OnDemand platforms (AIX, Linux, Windows, zLinux, IBM i and z/OS):

Content Manager OnDemand server versions:

10.1.0.6 and earlier    not affected
10.1.0.7, 10.1.0.8    affected
   
10.5.0.0    not affected
10.5.0.1, 10.5.0.2    affected

This issue only affects the Content Manager OnDemand server (both library and object servers). The fix must be applied to both library and object servers if they are running on separate systems. This issue does not affect any of the Content Manager OnDemand clients (such as the OnDemand Windows client, Content Manager OnDemand Web Enablement Kit (ODWEK) APIs, REST Services, or CICS interface).

Is this affected in 10.5.04?

Thanks,

It's safe to assume that IBM wouldn't purposely ship the same bug in newer fixpacks.

Thanks JD.   I have been asked the question. Is there a way to tell in CMOD to send an alert when a application is coming up to be deleted through ARSMAINT?

Since your second question is off topic, I'll keep my answer short:  No.  :)

If you want to have a bigger discussion around expiration, post a new topic.
