Hello,

unfortunately, the CMIS specification as far as I know does not provide a facility to query for natural year, month or date in isolation (without a complete timestamp) on date fields. But you may be able to use Alfresco full text support to do a simple contains check in your CMIS query, e.g. use CONTAINS('cmis:creationDate:\'2015-01-??\'') to select a specific month and retrieve only the relevant subset of documents (for each year - unfortunately it seems you can't use ???? wildcards for the year to retrieve all the January documents regardless of year).

Hi,

I think that asing a comparison predicate will make the point. Here is an example if you want to get documents with creationDate in January 2015 :
SELECT * FROM cmis:document WHERE cmis:creationDate >= TIMESTAMP '2015-01-01T00:00:00.000+00:00' AND cmis:creationDate < TIMESTAMP '2015-02-01T00:00:00.000+00:00'
