OpenCMIS auto version when update properties in Community 5.0c

danielgonzález — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 11:31:00 GMT

Hi.I'm developing a Java Application wich uses OpenCMIS to communicate with Alfresco Repository. When I update a document's properties a new version is always created. I've read a lot about the subject, but the only solutions I've found are those suggesting setting the autoVersion and autoVersionOnU

Hello,

I've always found that setting the autoVersion / autoVersionOnUpdateProps to false in the contentModel.xml to be a poor / brute-force solution. The alternative would be to develop a behaviour (automation policy) that sets these properties when new documents are created, but based on some selection criteria, e.g. only for actual documents (and not objects that simply share the base type) within actual site document libraries or other company home root folders (and not wiki, blog or other containers).

Hello,

in addition to my first response, I'd also like to point out that you can set the following property to false in alfresco-global.properties to disable auto-versioning: "version.store.enableAutoVersioning"

Hello,

Does it works with Alfresco 5.0.c ? Cause your answers mainly refers to Alfresco 4.x

Hello,

my answer refers to Alfresco in general - nowhere did I say "Alfresco 4.x". Only my profile states "Alfresco 4.2" because that is what I am mainly using due to my work.
The specific answers of this thread also apply to Alfresco 5.

Hello,

Does your last method disable autoVersioning on the property update ? or it disable autoVersioning even for content update ?

Thanks

Hi
I've tried to update form 5.0.a to 5.0.c
this below was working on 5.0.a but don't seem to work in 5.0.c

version.store.enableAutoVersioning=false‍

And it's painful "to reinvent the wheel" when upgrading alfresco !!

Rem: I'am trying to devellop a web frontend with php/curl

I've made a new try.
In fact if you change a property in share thee's no version change but when you try with curl there's a change of version here is my cmd:

curl -X PUT -umoaa:XXXXXX  "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/cmis/versions/1.0/atom/entry?id=4165fb1c-282e-4d3f-9e33-41bf3c9c3cdf" -H 'Content-Type:application/atom+xml;type=entry;charset=UTF-8' -d @ModProp.xml ‍

And here is the MoProp.xml file


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:cmisra="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/restatom/200908/" xmlns:cmis="http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/cmis/core/200908/" xmlns:alf="http://www.alfresco.org" >
<cmisra:object>
   <cmis:properties>
      <cmis:propertyString propertyDefinitionId="cm:description">
         <cmis:value>nouvel essai toto</cmis:value>
      </cmis:propertyString>
   </cmis:properties>
</cmisra:object>
</entry>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

perhaps somtehing wrong with the curl command or the xml data file ??
Thanks

Hi, kinda same problem here with Alfresco 5.0.c and OpenCmis API:

- I created a behaviour that changes the version properties of autoVersioning to false. No effect
- Set the property "version.store.enableAutoVersioning=false" just to try it (it would not be a solution for me, but I just wanted to test it). No effect

No matter what, the contents are always autoversioned.

Changing the contentModel.xml directly is out of discussion, but I don't think it would solve the issue anyway.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I haven't checked yet but potentially, the CMIS implementation changed a bit in Alfresco 5.0.c and CMIS operations now automatically create a version unless the CMIS operation provides the proper versioningState parameter value (CMIS 1.1 section 2.1.13.7).
