1 Introduction
These Release Notes provide an overview of OpenText Content Server 10.5.0, including new
features, delivery information, and supported platforms. OpenText recommends that you read these
Release Notes in conjunction with the documentation included with the software package. If any
conflicts exist, the Release Notes supersede the other documentation.

We also recommend that you check the OpenText Knowledge Center

(https://knowledge.opentext.com/) for any patches or documentation updates that may have been
posted after the initial release of OpenText Content Server 10.5.0.

2 About OpenText Content Server

This section provides an overview of OpenText Content Server 10.5.0.

OpenText Content Server is the core content repository and foundational document management
technology for the OpenText Content Suite (formerly OpenText ECM Suite), as well as a broad range
of OpenText products such as the Content Suite Platform (formerly Content Lifecycle Management |
CLM), Application Governance and Archiving for SharePoint, Extended ECM for SAP Solutions,
Extended ECM for Oracle® E-Business Suite, Email Management, our family of Content Suite
Applications and other OpenText Enterprise Information Management (EIM) offerings.

Content Server provides richly-featured enterprise services based upon a unique combination of
integrated tools which include document management, workflow, and information retrieval services,
all tightly integrated into a solution that is easily customized and extended.

2.1 New Features and Changes – SP1 Update 2015-12

1. Java. The version of the Java Runtime Environment included with Content Server has been
update to Java 8 update 66.

2. Auditing. A new auditing interest was added to control auditing the creation of attributes
during object creation. Previously, these events were always audited as attribute
create/change events. This feature was added to help manage audit record size.

3. Document Conversion Server. Each DCS instance now has its own directory for temporary
files, located within the temp directory and labeled dcs_temp_xxxx (xxxx is the port number
used by that instance of DCS). The associated temporary file cleanup methods have been
improved.

4. Distributed Agents. New configuration settings that allow “fairness” to be adjusted. Fairness
is a measurement of time that should be allocated to older tasks in the queue. The task

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

4
 summaries and charts can now also display counts broken down by task types. Distributed
Agents can also be configured for redundancy / failover.

5. Database Correction. A new utility has been added to the Database Maintenance correction
that will identify orphaned items (those without a Parent ID) and move them into an Orphaned
Item volume. From there, they can be inspected and manually moved to a suitable location.

6. Search Bar. A new “Location Modifier” is available that allows a “from here” search in the
search bar to be restricted to the current folder only. “Exclude Sub-Folders” is the label in the
Location Modifier field.

7. Arabic Language Support. The user interface (excluding administration pages) has been
enhanced to support “Right to left” language configuration. An Arabic language pack is
available. Note that administrators should not use Arabic language preferences.

8. Multi File Output. The Email Link button in the browse view now generates a /link/ URL. Users
following this new URL will be directed to either the Open or Properties action for the
referenced item, based on personal and system settings. Administrators can choose a default
action for the system on the Multi-File Output General Settings admin page. Users can override
the default action from the Tools -> Settings page.

9. Database Verification. A "Relocate Orphaned Items" option was added to the Test or Repair
Known Database Issues admin page to assist with database verification errors related to
objects with invalid ParentIDs (i.e., orphaned items). This utility will re-parent items into an
Orphaned Items Volume, where administrators can review and remove items as needed. The
utility allows for the cleanup of many SubTypes, although some SubTypes may require
additional effort in order for Content Server to allow for their deletion. Please contact OpenText
Customer Support to work through any special cases.

10. Azure SQL Support. Support has been added Azure SQL for Content Server installations
running in the Azure Virtual Machine. Baseline testing regressions have been successfully
completed on a base Content Server installation in the Azure Virtual Machine (please see
Azure Virtual Machine Support statement for tested configuration information) and Azure SQL
version available as of December 2015. Although no issues are expected, full testing
regressions of all Content Suite Platform and optional modules have not been completed. For
questions about installation, sizing, storage, backup, monitoring, integration into on the premise
network, contact OpenText Professional Services.

Please note, that Microsoft Azure cloud and Microsoft Azure SQL database are updated by
Microsoft on a regular basis for which OpenText will make best efforts to test and ensure
forward compatibility.

2.2 New Features and Changes – SP1 Update 2015-09
1. Distributed Agents. New configuration allows scheduling outages of workers, assigning
preferences for tasks to workers, and charts that display performance.

2. Java. Java 8 update 51 replaces the prior Java 7 runtime for new installations. Utilities are
provided to upgrade an existing system based on Java 7 to Java 8.

3. Email Services. A change introduced in Content Server 2015-09 causes failure while browsing
Email Folder. Please apply Email Services 10.5.0 pat100002119 for Content Server 10 and
pat105000673 to correct this.

4. Content Web Services. The DocumentManagement service now provides the ability to get/set
Category Inheritance for categories applied to containers. New getCategoryInheritance() and
setCategoryInheritance() methods are provided for this purpose.

5. Cluster Management Tool. Now displays the total number/current progress of patches being
staged. This feature provides a transparent report of what is being executed, especially when
there are a large number of files.

6. eLink. If Email Services is installed, Email-enabled containers now support the creation of an
Email subtype (749) for inbound eLink messages. It is also now possible to enable Email
Folders for inbound eLink messages. Messages are stored in RFC 822 format as .eml files.

NOTE: Email Services patch pat105000515 is required to open ingested emails correctly.

7. Quarantined IPools. The contents of quarantined IPools can now be listed. Information about
quarantined objects can be downloaded as a spreadsheet. Quarantined IPool message
objects can be added to a collection to facilitate re-indexing.

8. Thumbnail Creation. Administrators can now request thumbnail generation for the contents of
a collection. This is a maintenance tool to facilitate repair of thumbnails, or to create
thumbnails for older objects.

9. Rendition Search Results. Renditions in search results are now identified by a simple
vertical bar marker icon to help users differentiate renditions from regular documents.

10. Extractor Configuration. There is a new control in the Extractor Configuration Administration
pages that provides the ability to disable the notification for content recovery errors.

11. Partition Map. The Partition Map Administration page has been updated for easier
understanding and to display quickly with large search grids. Distinct “percent full” values for

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

6
 disk and memory use are displayed. Percent full values are pulled from Update Distributor
cache instead of computed where possible. Icons have been updated for clarity.

12. Search XML API. The search API has been extended to allow authentication using the
standard REST API authentication methods. This simplifies authentication and impersonation.
However, previous authentication methods are still supported.

13. Target Browse. Usability improved by increasing the window size and adding a scroll bar.

14. Admin Server. If the configuration in opentext.ini does not reference the current OTHOME
location, this likely indicates cross-wiring (settings copied from another location on the same
computer). Admin Server will enter safe mode.

15. Search Index TIME fields. Previously, TIME fields were ‘DROPPED”, which froze existing
values and ignored new values. The new default is REMOVE, which will eliminate existing
values and reduce the index size.

2.3 New Features and Changes – SP1 Update 2015-06

1. Searchable Collections. When a Collection is created, users may mark it as searchable.
“Search from here” in the search bar or locations in Advanced Search may be used to specify
collections to be searched. The Administrator may globally disable this feature, or selectively
assign the privilege to specific users or groups.

2. Queue for Indexing. This search maintenance feature has been extended to support deleting
from the index, or re-indexing metadata only. Control over the collected version versus all
versions is now also available. The underlying technology has been changed in the Extractor
to use a new Collection Iterator which reduces the impact of bulk Collection indexing on regular
indexing operations.

3. Collect Folder. A new administration control on the Collection settings page now limits the
maximum number of objects that can be handled by the Collect Folder feature.

4. Search Process Controls. The controls to stop or restart all Index Engines have been
removed from the Index Engine management pages. Similarly, the controls to stop or restart all
Search Engines have been removed from the Search Engine management pages. This
eliminates inadvertent search grid outages. The controls remain on the Update Distributor and
Search Federator admin pages, where confirmation challenges have been added.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

7
 5. Search Configuration Changes. On the Update Distributor configuration page, the “File
Cleanup” settings have been removed since they are not meaningful with current search
engines. The Update Distributor “Merge Tokens” feature for coordinating merges even when
low on disk space is now exposed on the administration pages.

6. Microsoft Azure virtual Machine. Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine Services offer an
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform. OpenText Content Server 10.5 Service Pack 1,
OpenText Directory Services 10.5 Service Pack 1 and OpenText Archive Server 10.5.0 (with
Azure Blob storage) are certified on Azure Virtual Machines (IaaS). Prerequisites are:

• Archive Server Patch Collection 1050.2015.01

• Azure VM Operating system: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2
• Database: Microsoft SQL Server 2012 SP1
• Supported Azure VM Sizes: A2 through A9& D2 through D14

The IaaS platform allows deploying various scenarios, including hybrid deployments with
connections to the on premise customer network. For questions about installation, sizing,
storage, backup, monitoring, integration into on the premise network, contact OpenText
Professional Services.

7. Admin Server Safe Mode. Two new conditions have been added that will place the Admin
Server into “Safe Mode” of operation. Both conditions have been observed during upgrades
which are not correctly managed. The first is if an attempted Admin Server password change
fails (for example, if the disk area is write-protected). The other condition is if the hostname in
the configuration files differs from the system host name, indicating a likely misconfiguration.

8. Indexing Pattern Counting. Document Conversion Server now supports creating searchable
regions that contain counts of strings that match defined patterns. One common use for this is
identifying documents that have personally identifiable information – where content matches
patterns of phone numbers, social security numbers, or credit card numbers.

9. Indexing Pattern Extraction. Document Conversion Server now supports extracting text from
content that matches patterns, creating searchable regions of the extracted text. Common
applications could include extracting #hashtags or @userids from social media, or part
numbers / contract numbers from documents.

10. Document Conversion Process Management. DCS has two new process controls that can
help to pro-actively control unexpected resource management problems. If not busy, DCS can
now recycle processes that it manages (shutdown and restart filters, for example). The second
feature is a self-shutdown on a timed basis (typically once per day) to recover resources. The
Admin Server would then immediately restart DCS.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

8
 11. VISIO Support. The Document Filters now support Visio 2007 and later for View as Web Page
and Thumbnail operations. This supplements the existing text extraction capabilities for search
indexing.

12. Tokenizers for Search Regions. The search engine now supports the ability to use different
tokenizers per text search region. This would allow different approaches to tokenizing that can
improve search results for regions dedicated to part numbers, phone numbers, etc.

13. Indexing Throughput Data. The Update Distributor now collects detailed information about
indexing throughput performance, and outputs it once per hour to the log file. This data can be
used to tune search indexing, especially in high-volume environments.

14. Thread Logs. Log4J can now be used with rolling log files, when per-thread logging is
configured. In addition, separate log files are retained that capture thread logs during startup,
which are useful for support and might otherwise be lost when rolling logs are configured.

15. OpenSSL Update. Open SSL has been updated to version 0.9.8zf.

16. Shell. The default shell for Solaris and Linux systems was changed to /bin/sh, since this is a
shell available by default on Linux and Solaris systems. This ensures that users do not have to
install a shell in order to run Content Server.

17. Language Support. Kazakh is now available as a metadata language

18. Multilingual metadata. Components of an eLink email notification message that do not reflect
multilingual metadata elements are now sent to the recipient in their preferred UI
language. Multilingual metadata field values that are exposed in eLink emails (Name and
Description) will be presented in the System Default Language.

19. Cluster Management. The “Removed Deprecated” button was added to the Staged tab of the
Cluster Management Manage Updates page, which makes it quicker and easier to remove
deprecated staged patches from the database.

20. SQL Server Always On. Content Server now supports the SQL Server 2014 Always On
solution. Follow the documentation from Microsoft to configure Always On -
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-CA/library/ff877884.aspx . The Content Server system should
connect to the availability group listener (virtual IP). NOTE: Use of the ODBC Driver 11 for SQL
Server is currently not supported.

21. Platform Updates. Support has been added in this update for:

• Red Hat Linux 7 and Oracle Linux 7 with Oracle 12c.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

9
 • Red Hat Linux 6.6 and Oracle Linux 6.6 with Oracle 12c.
• Windows 2012 with Oracle 12c.
• Tomcat 8

2.4 New Features and Changes – SP1 Update 2015-03

1. Collect a Folder. The ability to collect the contents of a folder, including subfolders, is now
available for administrators and users with eDiscovery rights enabled.

2. Admin Server Logging. Configuration for the Admin Server now supports rolling log files,
which is the default setting for new installations. The log locations and log level settings can
now be changed without restarting the Admin Server. Finally, logging configuration is now set
individually for each Admin Server, with the configuration settings moving from the “Configure
Debug Settings” page to the “Specific” tab on the Admin Server management page.

3. Extractor Recovery. The configuration and behavior of the Extractor Recovery iterator have
been simplified and improved. Multiple retries use successively longer retry intervals to
improve success likelihood. Unnecessary controls were removed. The Recovery iterator is
always enabled. Admins are notified if 50 or more Extractor failures occur in a single run
(indicating likely problems with a Storage Provider).

4. Indexing a Collection. The “Queue for Indexing” feature of a collection now uses the
Recovery iterator instead of DTreeNotify for the indexing operation. This ensures that large
Collection indexing operations do not starve out other indexing operations

5. Text Metadata Storage. A new “Incremental Merge” method for storing text metadata values is
now available in the search index. This new method allows higher indexing throughput and
faster startup times. This mode is set on the “Specific” tab of the Partition Map administration
page.

6. IPool Quarantine. The number of IPool messages that have been quarantined are now
displayed on the Data Flow Manager page. If SOV email notification is enabled, administrators
are advised when new IPools are quarantined.

7. Database Correction. A feature to correct Volume objects that are missing their reflexive row
in DTreeAncestors has been added.

8. Search Index Times. If the Index Tracer features are enabled, information about how current
the search index is can be displayed to admins and users with eDiscovery mode enabled. In
addition, this information will be tracked during eDiscovery search operations, and included in a
Disk Image Manifest to help describe and defend the contents of a Collection.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

10
 9. Oracle 12c Support. Support has been added for Oracle 12c database for the Windows 2012
R2, Red Hat Linux and Oracle Linux server platforms.

10. Linux 6.5 Support. Support has been added for Red Hat Linux 6.5 and Oracle Linux 6.5 as
server platforms.

11. Windows 2012 R2 with Oracle 11g R2 – 11.2.0.4 Support. Support added for Windows 2012
R2 as a server platform with Oracle 11g R2 11.2.0.4 as the Database.

2.5 New Features and Changes – SP1

1. Support for Firefox ESR 31 as a Client Browser Platform.

2. Support for SQL Server 2012 SP2 as a Server Side Database.

3. Relative Date Search. Using the advanced search complex queries, searches are now
possible against DATE or TIMESTAMP regions using relative day, week, month, quarters and
years. For example, [qlregion “OTCreateDate”] >= “-2y” would find objects created since Jan
1, 2012 (assuming today is sometime in 2014).

4. Searching Lists of Terms. New convenience operators IN and NOT IN simplify complex
queries based on lists of terms or phrases. Example: (pollution and in (water, stream, pond,
“waste water retention”) and not in (litter, trash, “rest area”)).

5. No Full Text Comparison. The ability to perform relative comparison [ < <= => > ] has been
removed from full text search (but remains for text search in regions). User behavior has been
to construct queries such as: ( > henry and < horse ), thinking this was like: ( qlrange
“henry~horse” ). These poorly constructed queries often time out and do not return expected
results. A query construction error is now returned instead. Refer to search engine notes for
details on how to enable the prior behavior.

6. Database Repair Utilities. A number of utilities for fixing relatively safe and common
database errors are now available from the Maintain Current Database administration page.
Normally these should only be used with the advice of customer support. The available repair
utilities are:

• Delete references to non-existent Users and Groups

• Regenerate ChildCounts
• Regenerate ACLCounts
• Delete orphaned rows in DTreeAncestors

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

11
 • Delete orphaned rows in DVersData
• Regenerate ProviderData refcnt

7. DCS Log Analyzer. An updated log analyzer now ships as part of the Document Conversion
Server that provides statistic and tables summarizing DCS performance, useful to monitoring
and tuning DCS throughput. In the BIN directory, run dcslogan.exe.

8. Index Tracers. A new system exists that tracks the performance of search indexing. A new
Index Tracer volume (subtype 149) creates Tracer objects (subtype 148) every 15 minutes.
The Extractor, DCS and the Index Engines all add their time stamps when they process these
objects. Searches are used to locate these objects, and the times are tracked in a new
database table. The Tracer objects are deleted after being recorded. The
$SOVMGMT.Utils.GetIndexTracerDelay() function can be used to retrieve this data. Requires
“Ascending Extractors”, and enabling on the Extractor configuration page.

9. Search API. The XML search API has been extended to provide attribute information in results
where applicable.

10. Search Language Rules. The selection of Stemming and Thesaurus rules used during
searches is now configurable in the “Search Options” Admin page (no longer in opentext.ini),
and can also be set to dynamically select rules based on the user’s preferred language
settings.

11. Search Path Management. The administration page that allows display and edit of the file
paths used by the search system has been extended to display the search processes that rely
on each path. This change makes it easier to understand which file paths need editing.

12. Storage Provider Rules. The extended type filtering rules for Storage Providers that were
previously part of the Content Move module have been moved to become part of Content
Server. For new installations, an “Internal Storage Provider” is now mandatory, and default
storage rules will ensure that non-file Content Server objects are placed in internal storage. If
not present, an Internal Storage Provider will be created when applying SP1, although the
preferred storage rules are not applied. This change is necessary to help customers make
good choices about where configuration objects should be stored for better performance and
easier re-use of a production data in a test environment.

13. Modules. The Content Move module and the Archive Storage Provider module are no longer
separate modules; they are installed as part of Content Server. There is no need to uninstall
these modules if already present during upgrade.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

12
 14. Selecting a new Database. This process has been changed to require review of the Admin
Server settings, search path management, and license keys. These changes reduce the
likelihood of errors.

15. Use existing Database. Content Server now supports the ability to create a Content Server
instance on an existing database. Any existing tables can be dropped if necessary. This
option simplifies scenarios such as deployment into a cloud where the database is provided but
empty.

16. Change Database Password. A new administration page exists that allows you to change the
database password Content Server uses to connect to the database. This improves support
for policies such as regular password rotation, or changing passwords when administrators
leave.

17. Database Ports. When selecting or creating a database, port numbers can now be provided.
With MSSQL, syntax is “hostname,port”. For Oracle, “hostname:port”.

18. Admin Server Password. The method for storing the hashed value of the Admin Server
password has been upgraded from MD5 to the PBKDF2 standard, which is much more secure.
The switchover is transparent on first usage.

19. Disk Image. Classification information can now be requested for inclusion in a collection Disk
Image. If selected, RM Classification information is also included.

20. Search Indexing. Improvements in the handling of Norwegian/Danish and Arabic characters
have been incorporated. Review the search engine release notes for possible impacts.

21. In the llserver section of the opentext.ini, the min/max thread options have been replaced with
a single option for number of threads: "number=". Please refer to the opentext.ini
documentation for details.

22. Content Server can be configured to automatically restart when the schema or configuration
changes require a full restart.

23. User dependencies are now supported by the Content Server Transport module. This allows
users from a source system to be mapped to users on a target system prior to object
deployment. This can be used to accurately transport object permission sets from one system
to another. It is also useful for setting user assignments.

Content Server Forms are now supported by the Transport system. This allows the transport of
Forms and Form Templates, and their configurations between Content Server systems.

24. Cluster Management now includes the following enhancements:

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

13
 • Installation of Content Server Updates and any database upgrades that are required for the
Content Server Update.
• UI enhancements that better respect the relationships between patches and Updates.
• Download enhancements that include:
o Automatic patch and Update download. This functionality will allow the Administrator
to download directly from the KC and will immediately stage the patch or Update.
o Instantly stage a patch via Drag and Drop for companies that cannot implement the
automatic patch download functionality.
o Support for Language Packs with updates.
• Updates and patches are now installed cluster wide instead of master first and then rest of
cluster.
• Software rollback on error. Administrator has the ability to roll back Update and patch install
should an error present itself.
• Instance Maintenance. An Administrator can remove references to Content Server hosts that
no longer apply to the current environment, typically seen when cloning systems.
• Added intelligent superseding patch and dependency handling.

2.6 New Features and Changes – Update 2014-09

1. eDiscovery Mode. Users without Admin rights can perform discovery searches. This new
capability grants effective “See Contents” to all objects for search, collection and browse
operations. Note that some features of Content Server may implement further restrictions that
inhibit access, such as Security Clearances. This feature is targeted at customers performing
eDiscovery and litigation support tasks for data managed by Content Server. Use of this mode of
operation is audited. Granting this right is restricted to admin users. The system admin can
completely disable this feature from the Configure Access Control administration page. For
compatibility purposes, mandatory patches are required if you are using any of Physical
Objects, Security Clearance or Records Management modules. These modules are modified
such that features which are normally accessible based on “see contents” rights are instead only
accessible based on “modify” rights for users who are actively using eDiscovery mode.

2. Categories. A new option was added to the category Apply to Sub-Items page. If "Replace" is
selected for a category that is to be applied to sub-items, then the values of the attributes for that
category on the parent item will be applied to that category as it exists on sub-items.

3. Content Filters. New content filter settings were added that affect how Content Server behaves
when you open a new tab or window.
• Page Filter: Remember the page number you were on. If disabled, opening a new tab
or window will cause its filter results to start at the first page again by default.
• Item Filter: Remember the item type you are filtering on. If disabled, opening a new tab
or window will cause all of its item types to be displayed again by default.
• Filter by Name: Remember the name string you were filtering on. If disabled, opening a
new tab or window will cause no name filter to be applied.

4. Rights List. Performance enhancements for retrieving the Rights List information.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

14
5. HTML Document Type Definition. By default, the document type (DOCTYPE) for HTML pages
setting is now HTML 4.01 Transitional. This change addresses several issues with CKEditor
display in Internet Explorer, and allows Content Server support for Internet Explorer 11.
a. This change may have an impact on Custom Views and Appearances as they will need
to support the HTML 4.01 Transitional DOCTYPE.
b. The optional HTML Forms module may also be impacted by the change to DOCTYPE.

6. OpenSSL Library Update. The version of OpenSSL that ships with Content Server was
updated to 0.9.8za to resolve security issues.

7. CKEditor Update. The version of CKEditor was updated to support Internet Explorer 11. This
change also addresses an issue where the text box displayed as one line in IE10, which affected
editing text and html documents, adding and editing News items, adding and editing Custom
Views and Appearances and other functionality that uses the text editor.

8. Privilege Auditing. The display of audit records for changes to User Privileges has been
improved to display text descriptions of the changes rather than numerical values.

9. Disk Images. Several enhancements to Make Disk Image are incorporated that are of interest
for defensibility in litigation support and eDiscovery applications. These include:

• Disk Images are now compressed by default to simplify download.

• The number of uncollectable items are displayed in the manifest.
• The date range over which the Collection was created is included in the manifest.
• The use of eDiscovery mode (or admin privileges) is recorded in the manifest.
• Search queries used in “Collect all search results” are included in the manifest.
• An Electronic Discovery Reference Model XML 1.2 description of the disk image can be
included in the manifest.

10. Extractor. The search indexing Extractor now supports specific lightweight events for changes
to Classification values, reducing the indexing load when manual, automatic or OTAC
classification is applied to an object. Because of dependencies on the generation of the
OTLocation search region, mandatory patches are required if you are using Email Management,
Enterprise Library, Communities of Practice, Pulse, or Classifications.

11. Dataflow Monitoring. The charting of the Extractor backlog has been enhanced to differentiate
between operations pending for each of the extraction iterators: Content Recover, Re-Extract,
Targeted Updates, Add/Modify/Delete, and Initiated Workflows.

12. INI File Settings. The “Search Result Cache Expiry” time configuration is no longer managed in
the opentext.ini file. This setting is now maintained in the database and accessible on the
Search Options administration page. Two Recommender Buffer Tracking configuration settings

 have also been moved out of the opentext.ini file and are accessible on the Recommender
System Settings administration page.

13. Write Checkpoints. The search index writes checkpoint files to consolidate incremental
playback metalogs. Administrators now have the ability to request checkpoint writes, generating
new checkpoints if the metalogs exceed 10% of the progress towards a natural checkpoint. This
feature is useful before a shutdown of the search grid, since startup may be much faster with
small metalog files. The feature is accessible on the Specific tab of the Update Distributor
administration page.

14. Searchable Email Domains. The search index now has the ability to create synthetic regions
comprised of email domains extracted from regions that contain email addresses. For email-
centric eDiscovery, this feature can greatly simplify the user task of finding all email messages to
or from specific email domains. For example, you can easily find all email messages sent to
recipients at opentext.com. Configuration is found on the Region Modifiers tab of the Search
Manager administration page.

15. Mandatory Search Terms. A new capability allows the administrator to enforce search
restrictions by adding search terms to queries. The restrictions are based on group
membership. The typical use case would be ensuring that users only search within their own
departments. There is a new Configure Mandatory Search Terms administration page for
managing this capability.

16. Search Agent Management. Search Agents are search queries applied during search indexing
for automatic Classification or Prospectors. With this Update, we are introducing the Manage
Search Agents administration page that allows you to review all configured search agents, and
selectively or completely disable or enable these agents. This feature is provided so that
administrators can easily address performance problems during search indexing in the event
that a user constructs expensive search agents that impact indexing throughput. There are two
new auditing interests for tracking changes to agent status, and an optional email notification to
inform users that their agents have been enabled or disabled.

17. Email Configuration. The email configuration for the System Object Volume notification has
been removed, and now uses the Configure Notification settings. This removes a redundant
configuration step. The validation of email server settings has also been improved on the
Configure Notifications administration page.

18. SysReport. Table sizes are now based on database statistics instead of the “COUNT” function.
Although not as accurate, the performance benefit is material. The table reporting now also
tolerates situations where the schema name is no longer the same as the database name.
Finally, for Microsoft SQL Server, more information about table spaces is included in the report.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

19. Database Verification. When reference count mismatches occur, the actual counts are now
included in the report, which will simplify diagnostics.

20. ZIPX MIME Type. New installations of Content Server will now have the ZIPX file format
included in the mime.types file, associated with the MIME type application/zip.

21. Admin Server Functions. The admin server now has a new function,
AdminServer.SetFilewithHash(), which will include an MD5 hash value of the file in the
response. The Admin Server also has new functions to support compressing a directory:
ZipDirectory and GetZipStatus. All these functions are leveraged by the Make Disk
Image feature.

22. DCS Logging. The Document Conversion Server now supports rolling log files. The default
configuration is for up to 10 log files of 100 MB each. In [DCS] section of opentext.ini file
(or custom_dcs.ini)

LogMode=Rolling
Default rolling. (Rolling | Single | Segmented)
LogFileSizeInMB=100
Ignored for “single”
NumRollingLogFiles=10
Ignored unless Rolling

23. DCS Memory Limit. The Document Conversion server now imposes a maximum memory
usage limit on filter processes it controls. The method uses operating system features to force
exceptions if the limits are exceeded. This is intended to capture unexpected rapid memory
leaks. Default is 2 GB limit. Set to 0 to disable this feature.

[DCSworker]
x-maxmemory=2048

24. Search Garbage Collection. The frequency of Garbage Collection operations in the search
engine has been reduced, reducing CPU use and improving indexing throughput. There are two
potential side effects of note. First, the method for computing the “percent full” for a partition is
changed, and may vary slightly from previous versions. Second, it may appear that more
memory is being used but this is not necessarily true, since Java tries to use all the memory
permitted for efficiency, and with less Garbage Collection may come closer to this goal.

25. Support for Internet Explorer 11 as a Client Browser.

26. Support for Windows 8.1 as a Client Platform.

2.7 New Features and Changes – Update 2014-06
1. Full Text Search. When using the LQL search language, the operator “NEAR” can now be used
as a synonym for QLNEAR. This improvement makes constructing complex searches more
intuitive.

2. Make Disk Image. This feature has been significantly improved, with enhancements including:

• Selecting a sort order for objects saved in the disk image

• Including name and type filters for selecting items in the image
• Providing more options for versions to include in the image
• Exporting a randomly selected subset of objects to export (ideal for testing a Collection for
eDiscovery responsiveness)
• Adding the ability to add notes to the disk image, included in the manifest

The Disk Image Manifest has been improved for clarity and features, including:

• Separate tabs for the summary and details

• Inclusion of a help file
• Sort order and to/from ranges
• Tampering indicators such as items removed from the collection, and objects in the
collection deleted from Content Server.
• Custody information such as the Collection Owner, Disk Image Originator, Content Server
version, and licensee company.
• Improved marking of objects that could not be saved to the disk image.
• Better description of the collected versions and versions saved in the disk image.
• Indicate the final image in a set.
• Transaction IDs for Disk Image operations to help track and differentiate images.

The Disk Image notification email is also extended to include many of the new information
elements contained in the manifest.

3. Collections Audit. Additional details in the Collection audit records are now captured. These
details allow determination of whether objects in a collection are removed, or whether objects
referenced by the collection have been deleted from Content Server.

4. Extractor. In addition to the existing DTreeNotify table for search indexing requests, a new
DTreeAspectsNotify table is monitored by the Extractor. The DTreeAspectsNotify events are
intended to generate very specific metadata changes to the search index, allowing more efficient
search index updates. The first event supported is Object Rank updates, which are no longer
added to DTreeNotify.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

18
5. Search Result Cache. A new feature in the search engine to cache search results can now be
configured from the Search Federator configuration page. When configured, long-running
“Collect all search results” operations are significantly faster.

6. Canceling Collection Operations. Collection operations that might run for long periods can
now be cancelled by the Admin from the “Collections General Settings” page, or by the
Collection owner from the Collection browse page. These include Make Disk Image, Queue for
Indexing, Download as Spreadsheet, and Collect all Search Results.

7. Search APIs. A new feature has been added to the XML Search API that allows a saved search
query to be run. A limited implementation of REST APIs for displaying a custom view search
form is available. This REST API is not fully implemented, and is subject to change.

8. Localhost. When 'localhost' is used in the 'OTDS Sign In' URL, the browser is redirected to the
same server name that was used in the request.

9. Workflow Volume. Paging is now supported when browsing the Workflow Volume. This
improves the response for administrators. This setting is configured as part of the global
pagination setting in the Pagination section of the Configure Container Options page. To access
this page, click the Configure Presentation link in the Server Configuration section of the
Content Server Administration page.

10. Drag and Drop. There is now Drag and Drop support for Workflow Attachments. This new
feature simplifies the Add Document and/or Add Document Version process by allowing users to
simply drag one or more documents into the Workflow Attachments folder.

11. eDiscovery. We have added 2 new UAPI constants, “UAPI.PRIV_GRANT_DISCOVERY” and

“UAPI.PRIV_ENABLE_DISCOVERY”, that will allow the Administrator to grant a user eDiscovery
privileges. The user, granted eDiscovery privileges, will be able to enable or disable their own
eDiscovery rights, which gives the user read-only rights to all documents.

12. Solaris 11 added as a supported server side platform.

13. WebReports: The following new sub-tag feature was added:

• CATACTION:COPY – copies categories from one document to another.

2.8 New Features and Changes – Update 2014-03

1. Full Text Search. Several minor enhancements to full text search terms are available that have
been requested in discovery scenarios:

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

19
 a. A single character wildcard is now supported in search terms. For example, searching
for savo?r will match savor, savour or savoir (note: multi-character * wildcards already
exist).
b. The text entry area for full text search expressions on the advanced search page is now
larger, and can be resized to accommodate long search expressions.
c. The LQL search language will now accept a wider variety of double quotes, allowing
searches to be copied and pasted from applications that use “smart quotes” such as
Microsoft office.

2. Collections. Minor changes have been made to clarify the behavior of Collections:
a. The Collection browse interface now displays a count of selected items. This helps
users understand the interaction of the “Select All” check box, the “Entire Collection”
check box, and the type/name filters, reducing inadvertent user errors.
b. Collection features that are not applicable based on the selected items are now disabled
in the button bar and “More Actions…” menu, eliminating unnecessary error messages.
c. Operations that can delete or modify objects in Content Server now have a challenge
confirmation dialog to reduce the chance that inexperienced users will inadvertently
delete objects instead of removing them from the Collection.

3. Configuration. Two search configuration settings are now available on the “Configure Search
Options” page and stored in the KINI database table. In the past, these were in the
[SearchOptions] section of the opentext.ini file: QueryTimeoutInMS and
EnterpriseTimeToLiveInterval.

4. Indexing Performance Monitoring. An administration page is now available that provides

graphical or tabular insight into search indexing throughput and backlogs. This administration
tool is accessible from the “Configure the Enterprise Extractor Settings” page. Data gathering is
managed on the “Set Extractor General Settings” page.

5. Collection Process Monitoring. The status of selected long-running Collection processes is

available on the “Collections General Settings” page (collect all search results, download as
spreadsheet, queue for indexing, make disk image). Administrators can use this information to
determine whether a shutdown might impact critical procedures, or issue an email to the process
owners warning of process termination.

6. Database Verification. A new administration page is available to host utilities that can detect or
correct specific known database verification issues, accessed from the “Maintain Current
Database” administration page.

7. EML format support. A file format filter for text extraction (search indexing) is now available for
email messages in the .eml format, which is used by systems such as Google Mail.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

20
8. Cluster Management. Update Analyzer is a utility included in Content Server Cluster
Management. It provides details about the changes that will be made to your system when a
Content Server Update is installed. Update Analyzer enables you to identify hotfixes that need to
be removed, and determine whether any of the existing files in your Content Server deployment
need to be preserved before you apply the Update.

9. OpenText Directory Services. When using OTDS for authentication, the Change Password
option on the Tools menu is not shown for users who are not authenticated by the embedded
LDAP directory for OTDS. This applies to OTDS 10.5 Patch 3 or OTDS 10.2.1 with Patch 16
deployed.

10. Support for Windows 2012 R2 as a Server platform.

11. Support for WebSphere 8.5 and Oracle 11g R2 11.2.0.4 as a Server platform.

12. WebReports: WebReports code is now embedded in Content Server, and is used by OpenText
to deploy several editable reports and dashboards to enhance the user experience. However,
customers must still purchase WebReports licenses to create new WebReports objects
and functionality.

In addition:

a. A new Administration page to manage destination media types was added.

b. The following new tags were added:

• NODEACTION:FAVORITE
• NODEINFO:CHILDREN
• NODEINFO:PATHTOID
• USERPREFACTION
• LL_REPTAG_HTTPCOOKIE
• CAT:<category>:UPGRADEABLE
• CAT:<category>:VERSION
• NODEINFO:RELEASES
• RMACTION:FINALIZE
• USERINFO:EDITTABLE
• UNESCAPEURL
• SCUSERACTION

2.9 New Features and Changes – 10.5.0 Release
This section outlines new features and changes in Content Server 10.5.0. Where releases and
updates introduce new features, they are detailed here. The baseline for comparison is Content
Server 10.0 Update 12.

1. Transport. The Transport functionality allows customers to better maintain several instances of
Content Server for development, testing, acceptance and production by providing the ability to
move business objects between instances.

For the initial release of Content Server 10.5.0, the following object types are transportable:
• Document
• Folder
• Category
• Project
• URL
• Compound Document
• Revision
• Release
• Shortcut
• Custom View
• Facet
• Facet Folder
• XML DTD
• Search Form
• Custom View Search Form
• Search Slice

The following dependencies can be mapped or edited:

• Parent container
• Shortcut target
• Category
• Facet data source

2. Patch Deployment System. Content Server 10.5.0 will include a new patch deployment system
which will allow for easy patch discovery and deployment. Patch dependencies will now be
enforced along with the removal of superseded patches. All patches will be deployed on a
master instance. Once the patches are installed, the Administrator can validate them before
pushing the changes to all other instances in the cluster.

3. Workflow Designer. The Workflow Designer replaces the Workflow Painter applet. This is a
new tool for editing Workflow Maps. The tool is based on HTML5 technology, therefore a Java
runtime environment is no longer needed. The graphical representation of Workflow Maps now

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

22
 follows the industry standard Business Process Modeling Notation 2.0 (BPMN) as proposed by
the Object Management Group.

4. REST API. Content Server 10.5.0 includes a new RESTful Application Interface. Access to the
REST (Representational State Transfer) API does not require any additional server components
but rather basic HTTP(S) access to the standard Content Server URL. Initially supporting
Document Management capabilities, the API will be extended to support many aspects of
Content Server functionality. The API is complemented by a detailed set of API documentation
that is included as part of the Content Server SDK. The new API makes it easy to build new and
exciting applications on top of the Content Server 10.5.0 platform.

5. Calendar Control. Content Server 10.5.0 provides a new Calendar Control. This new control is
used to simplify data entry into date fields.

6. Login Validation. Content Server 10.5.0 provides an inline error message if a user name or
password is entered incorrectly. This new functionality minimizes the number of actions a user
must make if login credentials are entered incorrectly.

7. Name Validation. Content Server 10.5.0 provides an inline error message on the Add Item page
if a duplicate name is provided by the user. This new functionality minimizes the number of
actions a user must make to correct the duplicate name.

8. Licensing. Content Server 10.5.0 will include licensing. Simple license file acquisition and
product activation will be available through an automated portal. Production licenses will
available for activation on Content Server production deployments. Non-Production licenses will
be available for deployment on supporting systems. Please review installation guide additional
information about Licensing.

9. Member Service: Content Web Services support for external users and groups has been added
to the MemberService. Two new methods were added to support creating external users and
groups, CreateExternalUser() and CreateExternalGroup(). External users and groups can be
identified by the Member.Type property. External users will have this set as "ExternalUser" and
external groups will have this set as "ExternalGroup".

In addition, the existing CreateMember() method has been deprecated. The other Create*()
methods should be used instead.

10. Text Editing. We have replaced the Java-based text editor with a new WYSIWYG (What-You-
See-Is-What-You-Get) editor. The following is a list of new features:
• New inline editing
• Advanced paste from Microsoft® Word
• Better interface usability

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

23
 • Improved keyboard navigation
• Now TAB key friendly
• Real rich text format

11. Drag and Drop. This new feature simplifies the Add Document and/or Add Document Version
process. It allows the user to simply drag one or more documents into a Content Server Browse
View.

Note: The Drag and Drop functionality will only work with Internet Explorer 10, the latest
version of Firefox ESR, the latest version of Chrome, and Safari 5.1.7+ on the Mac platform. In
addition, this feature is using standard HTML5 capabilities therefore no plug-ins or additional
software installations are required.

12. Thumbnail. A Thumbnail of the first page of documents is available when:

a. browsing folders
b. viewing the document overview page
c. viewing search results

This allows users to quickly identify a document without having to open the document itself.

13. Region Map Management. The region map is the list of search metadata regions within the
Search Manager. The Regions page is used to review the list and modify the properties of the
search regions. A number of performance and feature improvements have been incorporated,
and the region map data is now stored in the database.

14. Extractor. The Extractor is responsible for watching events in Content Server, and formulating
appropriate changes to the search index. Content Server 10.5.0 incorporates the following
enhancements:

a. Extractor Exclusion. A number of subtypes and volumes are now excluded from
indexing by default. These can be reviewed on the Extractor General Settings
configuration page.

b. Extractor Optimizations. Email objects now support re-ordering and collapsing of

entries in the list of items to extract to reduce the extractor’s workload. Email objects
now support updates to metadata without re-indexing the email content. Client-side DB
cursors are no longer used, improving extraction performance.

15. Return to Last Search Results. This consists of a link on the search bar that will return the user
to their last displayed set of search results.

16. Search Engine Scalability. A new set of features in the search engine allows text metadata to
be entirely represented on disk. This change typically allows three times the number of Content

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

24
 Server objects to be represented within a given amount of memory. Improvements in the
ingestion rates for high-volume indexing are also incorporated.

17. Part Number and File Name Search. A set of features have been added to the Search Engine
that will improve the ability to search metadata containing common structure found in part
numbers, URLs and file names.

18. Search File Types. The Search Engine assigns file types to objects based on content analysis,
file extension, subtype, and MIME type. This file type is now used in search relevance and
search filters.

19. OpenText WebDAV 10.5.0. Now ships with Content Server 10.5.0. Separate Release Notes
exist for administrators who require more information. Please note that Content Server WebDAV
10.5.0 is compatible with Content Server 10.5.0 and Content Server 10.0.

20. OpenText Office Editor (WebEdit) 10.5.0 and Email Services Module. Now ship with Content
Server 10.5.0. Administrators who require more information can consult the Enterprise
Connect, Office Editor and Email Services 10.5.0 Release Notes document. Please note that
Office Editor 10.5.0 and Email Services module 10.5.0 are compatible with Content Server
10.5.0 and Content Server 10.0.

21. 64-bit Integers. Integer values, including Data IDs, have been changed from 32-bit values to
64-bit values. Custom applications dependent on 32-bit values may be affected.

22. Database Upgrades. The Database Upgrade Confirmation page now clarifies which module
schema is current or will be updated.

23. Search Forms. The terminology for search templates has been clarified by referring to display
templates as “Search Layouts” and query templates as “Search Forms”.

24. Initiated Workflows. These are now excluded from search indexing by default for new
installations. This can be changed on the Extractor General Settings page.

25. Connect Logs. Log levels can now be changed through the GUI without stopping or starting
Content Server services.

26. Form Regions. The region names for forms now have a standardized naming convention:
OTForm_<templateID>_<attributeID>. This change allows predictable use of forms regions in
search queries, and simplifies management of search regions.

27. Search Filter Memory. A new setting in the partition management page allows additional
memory to be allocated to search engines, nominally as space for search facets.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

25
28. SysReport. Several changes and improvements including:

a. Directories for logs index and temp files are excluded.

b. Major performance optimizations.
c. Enhanced database table and schema information.

29. DCS IPools. The Document Conversion Service will now stop processing new data if the output
IPool area reaches 100 messages. This helps prevent runaway disk consumption if downstream
processes are halted. The limit can be adjusted in the dcs.ini file.

30. HTML Extraction. New optional settings allow any metadata in HTML files to be converted to
OTDoc<metatag> regions for indexing.

31. IPool Dataflow Distribution. This new feature allows search indexing data flows to be
distributed between up to five Document Conversion processes, providing more scalability
options for indexing and thumbnail generation.

32. Selecting Collections. The confirmation pages for selecting a Collection are now consistent for
browse and search, and offer convenient hover menus for selecting commonly used collections.

33. Retired Search Partitions. A new mode of operation for search partitions simplifies the
replacement of older partitions with newer partitions using updated settings without downtime.

34. HTML Resource Versioning. CSS and JavaScript resources used to construct HTML pages
are now versioned. This means that web pages that change these resources will display
correctly after upgrades without users needing to flush their browser cache.

35. Email Exemplars. Email objects can now be used as exemplars for Intelligent Classification.
Email can now also use the “Find Similar” feature for search.

36. Search Partition Biasing. This feature allows optimization of search indexing performance
where many partitions exist by giving preference to a limited set of partitions when growing the
search index.

37. Database Verification. Several tests to verify the integrity of ancestry data in the database
have been added.

2.10 Discontinued and Deprecated Features

A release or Update may change the behavior of existing features in Content Server for purposes of
usability, security, defect correction or compatibility with new features. In rare cases, a feature may

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

26
be deprecated or entirely removed. This section documents the known changes in behavior with
each release or Update that are not captured elsewhere in the release notes.

The following features have been discontinued or deprecated in this release:

1. Spell Check. The Spell check applet has been removed from Content Server 10.5.0. Instead,
we now rely on the spell checking functionality built into the browser.

2. LAPI. The LAPI programming interface will not be available in the next version of Content
Server. Content Server 10.5 will be the last series of Content Server that will support Livelink
API (LAPI) applications. Content Web Services or the REST API are the recommended
replacements for LAPI.

3. User Rights Threshold Setting. The User Rights Threshold setting has been removed in
Update 2014-09 as part of the Rights list optimizations. This setting was previously located on
the Server Configuration Configure Performance Settings page.

4. Recovery Iterator Administration Page. The Recovery Iterator Administration page has been
removed in Update 2015-03. The configuration and behavior of the Extractor Recovery iterator
have been simplified and improved. Unnecessary controls were removed. The Recovery
iterator is always enabled.

5. Enterprise Library Services API. The APIs in this module should not be used for new
applications. Enterprise Library Services API may not be supported for external applications in a
future version of Content Server. The Enterprise Library Search Services Search API is
deprecated and will no longer be available after Content Server 10.5.

6. NPAPI. Selected features (such as printing and Office Editor) are implemented using the NPAPI
capability in web browsers. Most major browsers are phasing out support for NPAPI. This may
cause some features to be non-functional. Solutions using alternate technologies may be made
available for some of the features, which will be communicated outside this document.

7. Enterprise Process Suite Module.

4.5.2 Database Support Notes

4.5.2.1 MS SQL Server 2014

• In Content Server, when you have a Content Server 10.5 instance running on Microsoft SQL
Server 2014, performance degradation may occur. Please see our knowledge base article
Content Server - "“unable to add user (X) from group (X)- error saving Group”" Message
appears and performance degradation may occur in Content Server 10.5 running SQL
Server 2014

4.5.2.2 MS SQL Server 2012

• A software defect in MS SQL Server 2012 can occur if you have Maximum Degree of
Parallelism set to 0 and you attempt to create a clustered index on a table.
The resolution is to apply the ‘Cumulative Update Package 1’ for MS SQL Server 2012

4.5.2.3 Oracle 11

• Oracle 11.2.0.4 is the recommended version of Oracle 11 with Content Server.

• Oracle 11.2.0.4 is required for Windows 2012 and Windows 2012 R2 systems. Earlier
versions of Oracle 11.x do not support Windows 2012 or Windows 2012 R2.

4.5.2.4 Oracle 12

• A new option for Oracle Database 12c, Oracle Multitenant, allows a multitenant container
database to hold many pluggable databases. To use the pluggable database from Content
Server you must reference the pluggable database in your TNSNAMES file, and you must
connect to the pluggable database from Content Server.

4.5.3 Web Server Support Notes

4.5.3.1 IIS

• If you run Content Web Services on Microsoft Internet Information Services, you must install
.NET Framework 3.5.

4.6 Virtualization Support

OpenText Content Server is supported for use with the server operating systems listed in the
previous section. The supported server operating systems may be installed on physical or virtual
hosts. Customers that choose to use a virtual environment are encouraged to select a virtualization
platform intended for production systems and known to be fully supported by the server operating
system vendor.
Please note that Content Server is a resource-intensive application and will require at least the same
amount of resources in a virtual environment as it would in a physical environment. Therefore,
additional resource scaling may be required to maintain the same level of performance in a virtual
environment as observed in physical environment

4.7 Microsoft Office Support

Content Server supports storing, indexing, viewing, and thumbnail generation of the files generated
by the versions of Microsoft Office in the table below. For information on integration with these
versions of Office, please see the release notes for the OpenText Enterprise Connect product.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

40
5 Install and Upgrade
Content Server 10.5 is available both as a full install package and as an Update for all supported
platforms. The full install package should be used for new installations of Content Server as well as
for upgrades from versions of Content Server that require a parallel upgrade (Content Server 10.0
and earlier). The Update can be installed over any installed Content Server 10.5 version.

5.1 Knowledge Center Review

Documentation and resources for Content Server 10.5.0 are available on the Knowledge Center and
linked from the Content Server landing page.

OpenText also recommends that you check the Content Server area of the OpenText Knowledge
Center (https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/Open/16534305 ) for any documentation
updates that may have been posted after release.

5.2 Install Critical Patches

OpenText recommends that you review Section 6: Critical Patches in addition to using the OpenText
Cluster Management Patch Deployment System to keep your Content Server 10.5 up to date with
all the applicable latest patches.

5.3 Installation Notes: General

With IIS you may experience issues with features that use .properties files. For example you may see
an HTTP Error 404 - File or Directory not found.

To resolve this you should configure IIS to recognize files with the .properties extension as
application/octet-stream by performing the following steps:

a) In the IIS Microsoft Management Console (MMC), right-click the local computer name, and
then click Properties.
b) Click MIME Types.
c) Click New.
d) In the Extension box, type the .properties file extension.
e) In the MIME Type box, type application/octet-stream.
f) Apply the new settings. Restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service or wait for the worker
process to recycle for the changes to take effect.

5.4 Installation Notes: Search

If installing Search components on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 2012
or Windows 2012R2 and using SMB2, the Cache Redirector in Windows must be disabled. Microsoft
has documented that this feature is not compatible with applications that use file-based
communication. Per the Microsoft description here -- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-

Note: We recommend reviewing the deprecated patch list should a recommended patch get
rolled into an update.

7 Deprecated Patches
Many Updates will incorporate fixes that were deployed as patches for previous versions. When these
fixes are incorporated in an Update, the patch files must be removed before installing the Update to
prevent code conflict and unexpected behavior. The table below identifies patches that are known to
be deprecated, listed by Update number.
OpenText also recommends highly that you use the Cluster Management feature located in the
administration pages to identify and manage patches that have been deprecated. To do this, perform
an analysis on your master instance. Once analysis is complete, a list of deprecated patches will be
displayed.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

8 Configuration File Changes
Some features of Content Server, DCS and Search Engine are managed through configuration files.
This section outlines changes that are implemented or recommended with each Update. In some
cases, configuration files cannot be overwritten or updated automatically due to the potential for
conflict with customized settings. You should review the suggested changes and apply those which
can be safely made for your system.

Search Configuration Files. New versions of search configuration files are not installed when
applying an Update to an existing system because replacing these files would overwrite
customizations previously made. In this case the latest versions of the configuration files are placed
in a reference folder where you can review them and select specific edits for your configuration files:
<OTHOME>\config\config_reference.

If you are installing this update as a new install you will find these configuration files in
<OTHOME>\config.

The table below shows the Content Server Update in which each of the configuration files was last
changed. If the update is being applied to a new installation, these files should be copied to
the <OTHOME>\config directory before indexing any data.

File Change
SP1 Update 2015-12

Image.ini Added to the filters/filters_reference/image folder on the

system to prevent overwriting the file on the system when the system
is updated using an update patch.

startXVFB.sh Added to the filters/filters_reference/image folder on the

system to prevent overwriting the file on the system when the system
is updated using an update patch.
This file is only used on Linux and Solaris systems.

1. The recursion through these Document Class definitions has now
been changed to be mindful of such cycles and avoid getting stuck in
the loop.

definitions are edited and roll back all changes if it detects one,
providing an error message to user.
3. A new Admin function called “Identify Document Class Cycles” is
now available in the Test or Repair Known Database Issues section

force the administrator to add a Trusted Site to the "Internet Options".
For example, if the user is using a browser and is a member of the
opentext.com Domain, but the Content Server Cluster Agent is located
in the lab.opentext.com Domain, Internet Explorer might reject the
attempts to send requests to the agent. To fix this issue, you should
add the following as a Trusted Site: "*.opentext.com".
10.5.0 LESAPI-1534 The new OScript source code format and compiler in Content Server
10.5.0, required changes to how ServiceDataObjects (SDOs) are

objects that orphan WFTask and override GetPainterMenu must be
updated to fit to the new function signature that is in 10.5.0 “List
GetPainterMenu( Object prgCtx, Boolean viewOnly )”.
The “Object prgCtx” program context parameter was added. This
parameter allows the step to decide which menu entries are shown in
its context menu, and are dependent on the permissions of the
currently authenticated user.
10.5.0 LPAD-27008 Content Server now includes jQuery version 1.7.2 and jQuery UI
version 1.8.23.

 2014-03 LLWR-3152 Potential cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability with the
Export WebReport page.

2014-03 LLWR-3227 A SDNR error occurred when rebuilding an application if

files were being copied to the application folder during
the rebuild action.

2014-03 LLWR-3313 A SDNR error occurred when using

LLURL:FUNCTIONMENU:RAW.

2014-03 LPAD-35969 It is possible for an attacker to use the built-in ListNodes

function in Content Server to launch an SQL injection
attack. This attack can be used to query database tables
that would be otherwise inaccessible, or update data in
existing tables. This issue has been resolved in Content
Server 10.0.0 SP2 Update 2014.03 and Content Server
10.5.0 Update 2014.03.

The following configuration settings should be deleted

from the opentext.ini file if they already exist, unless
they have been manually configured by an
administrator:

ListNodesSettingSaved
ListNodesTablesWhiteList
ListNodesQueryBlackList
EnableListNodes

If the ListNodes function is accessed, the appropriate

settings will be automatically configured in Content
Server.

2014-03 LPAD-36216 The Audit Purge function failed when versions were
deleted as part of an eSign step.

Workflow and Workflow Designer pages are fixed.

2014-03 SIESTA-474 Improvements have been made to the file upload

validation logic of the REST API.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

89
 2014-03 SIESTA-514 Users must have the "See Contents" permission on an
object to retrieve its metadata through a REST API call.
If they have only the "See" permission, the REST API
will return an error. Previously, only the "See" permission
was required.

10.5.0 LPAD-34979 To prevent cross-site request forgery attacks on logout,

a secure request token is now required to execute the
LL.DoLogout request handler. In addition, the Logout
global navigation link will now only appear when a user
is logged into Content Server.

11 Known Issues
The following known issues exist in this release.

Release Issue Name Issue Description Fixed in Release

Update LPU-6950 Browsing enhancements to increase performance

2015-09 have a minor incompatible with Classifications
10.5.1 and Records Management 10.5.1. Sorting
by Type and Size column results in the message,
“There are no items to display.”

When the Report Fields parameter is used in a

Update LPAD-23765 2015-06
LiveReport, the SQL statement cannot make use of
2015-06
an alias for the DTree view, otherwise the report will
result in an ODBC or ORA error similar to "The
multi-part identifier 'DTree.DataID' could not be
bound".

Content Server does not recognize upgraded

10.5.0 LPAD-42045 Fix with Patch
schema correctly after upgrading a module. After
SP1 pat105000321
module upgrade an error message may be
Update and in Update
displayed that the schema for the module is newer
2014-12 2015-03
than the version found in the database and the
database must be upgraded. A database upgrade is
not necessary and does not resolve the issue. A
restart of Content Server will resolve the issue.

10.5.0 N/A When painting a Workflow and trying to use

expressions on the Assignee tab of a user step, it is
not possible to add, remove, or edit expressions in
some browsers. Firefox and Internet Explorer work
as expected. However, when using Chrome, the
radio button moves from "Expression" to "Assignee
from Prior Step" and the following error appears:
[You must select a step to choose assignee from.]

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

91
 10.5.0 WA-2171 Cluster Management does not work If you are Fixed in Update
connecting to Oracle with Oracle Instant Client.
2015-03
The workaround is to place a copy of the
NETWORK directory one level above the
ORACLE_HOME directory, which allows the cluster
agent to find the tnsnames.ora file. This is because
the instant client install places the oci.dll file in the
ORACLE_HOME instead of the
ORACLE_HOME\bin directory. When the cluster
agent sets the ORACLE_HOME directory, it sets it
as one level up from the directory containing the
oci.dll file.

10.5.0 WA-2165 Cluster agent fails to look up Content Server host Fixed in Update
information if MSSQL database collation is set to
2014-03
case-sensitive.
Patch pat105000006 will need to be manually
applied for customers using case sensitive MSSQL.
The Cluster Management tool can be used
subsequently.

10.5.0 WA-2048 Cluster Management pages do not work with Fixed in SP1
compatibility view turned on in IE. This happens for
both IE9 and 10. You need to turn compatibility
mode off for the site for it to work or use an
alternative browser.

10.5.0 LLWR-3556 Although WebReports manages its own scheduling Fixed in SP1
agents, some remnants of its original inclusion in
the Content Server, 5 minutes agent remains. This
results in an error message in the agent logs:
“Could not locate scheduled Agent”. This error
message can be ignored and this error has no
impact on Content Server.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

92
 10.5.0 WA-2333 The HTTP-only Cookies section allows you to Fixed in 2014-09
specify whether the http-Only attribute is added to
all Content Server cookies. If enabled, all cookies
will be marked with the http-Only attribute. To
browsers that support it, this attribute indicates that
a cookie should not be made available to scripting.
By default, this option is disabled. However,
enabling HTTP-Only Cookies disables the Workflow
Painter and Text Editor.

10.5.0 LPAD-35923 When transporting a minor version of a document,

the document cannot be deployed on a target
system if a major version for that document does
not exist.

10.5.0 LPAD-35372 When an object is deployed from the Transport

Warehouse, the Creator and Modifier of the object
will be the Warehouse System user, and not the
user who performed the deployment. This may
impact the data shown in Facets or dynamic
columns based on that information. The correct
user information is stored in the audit log for the
object.

10.5.0 LPAD-32419 In Internet Explorer 10's quirks mode, The CKEditor Fixed in Update
does not display correctly. Possible work around
2014-09
solutions are:

Activate Compatibility View.

or
Press F12 and change the Document Mode to
anything other than Quirks.

10.5.0 N/A WebDAV (WebEdit) and OfficeEditor are not

supported with Chrome. To use these features, you
must use supported Internet Explorer or Firefox
web browsers.

10.5.0 LPAS-727 WebDAV is not currently supported using the Safari

browser.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

93
 10.5.0 N/A When exporting and importing via a Project
Template, if you have a Workflow Map with an Item
Handler step that has a mapping of a Category to
Workflow attribute, the settings are not maintained.

10.5.0 LPAD-823 Some dynamic links generated by Content Server

are "absolute" rather than "relative" and, therefore,
can cause problems with some proxy servers,
cluster servers, and authentication tools. Known
areas include highlighting, Workflow painting,
Project menu items, News Channels, and Task
Lists.

10.5.0 LPAD-12821 If a system report is aborted before it is allowed to

complete, it can become difficult to run another
system report. Contact OpenText Customer
Support to resolve this issue.

10.5.0 LPAD-19520 User Interface is never updated to show that

func=admin.xmlimportstatus has completed and
import logs are not generated with [general] logpath
change.

10.5.0 LPAD-22634 Renditions are not copied when a minor version is

promoted to a major version and the Renditions
module is not installed.

10.5.0 LPAD-24182 When Text Documents that contain extended ASCII

characters that are created through the Content
Server interface on a UTF-8 installation are
opened, the browser encoding is incorrect. To
properly view these Documents, the browser
encoding must be manually set to UTF-8

10.5.0 LPAD-23320 When users click the Report Format drop-down

menu and select either bar, pie, or line chart, the
function will tie up a thread in Content Server and
use memory for the browser by creating frames in
the pop up window. Each call will create a frame
inside the previous frame.

Content Server 10.5.0 Release Notes

94
 10.5.0 SRCH-801 When Java detects Turkish regional settings, the Fixed in CS 16
Index Engines are unable to recognize the “Integer”
data type.

Workaround is to add the following parameters to

the Java command line in the Additional Arguments
field of the Search JVM Configuration admin page:

-Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US

10.5.0 LPAD-15935 If Item Handler is configured to move or copy the

Workflow Attachments with "synchronize contents"
and any of the attached Documents has an
apostrophe in its name, the synchronize function
will fail.

10.5.0 LPAD-286 If a user makes another user a Proxy for their

Workflow Assignments and that user also has set a
Proxy, the first user’s assignments show up only in
the Assignments page of the direct Proxy and not in
that of the Proxy of the direct Proxy.

10.5.0 LPAD-21341 In a multilingual environment, subworkflows will not

support document sharing with a user from a
different language then original language. The
workaround for this issue is changing the sub-
workflow step attachment setting to “All” instead of
“Selected Items”.

10.5.0 LPAD-22759 Changing multilingual default language does not

correctly display new default language in browse.

10.5.0 LPAD-1055 When modifying the route of an active Workflow,

ownership of the attachments within the new
Workflow will change to the user who is enforcing
the modifications.

10.5.0 LPAD-20252 Users editing a Form in a Workflow can always see

the storage mechanism even if they don’t have
permissions to do so.

10.5.0 LPAD-22699 Workflow Expression Builder cannot handle special

characters such as ¢£¥.
