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 2018-12

 Internals: The secure communications libraries have been upgraded to OpenSSL 1.1 to address
potential security vulnerabilities.
 The POCO libraries have been upgraded to 1.4.6g to allow secure email connections and
improve security.

 No new features recorded for this Update

 No new features recorded for this Update

4
 Administration: Hostnames are now accepted in the “Trusted Referring Websites” section of the
security settings administration page.

 Filters: EML View as Web Page will not be configured on by default. The customer will need to
remove the message/rfc822 from the [ViewableMimeTypes] section of opentext.ini.
CS_10.5.15_2017-12 requires an additional change in the dcsviewrules.txt file. The

message/rfc822 mime type needs to be added to [View] section next to msg:
case OTMimeType = "application/rtf", "application/x-outlook-msg", "message/rfc822" try

DCSIMAutoView, PruneDo

 Cluster Management: In order to apply the SP1 Update 2017-09 using the Cluster Management
tool, the patch pat105001617 must be present in the system. This applies to Linux and Solaris
environments only.
 Dataflow Maintenance: The Test feature of Dataflow management has been changed to include
a confirmation challenge, prevent use if the dataflow is not empty, and ensure the administrator is
aware of side effects such as loss of quarantine files. Similarly, the Flush feature for the dataflow
includes a confirmation challenge and explanation of side effects.
 File Type Repair: A scenario was identified whereby the file type information in DVersData could
be incorrect. In some cases, the extension was prefaced by a period, for example, .PDF instead
of PDF. The defect has been corrected, and a new database repair utility introduced that will fix
any incorrect file type values.

 WebReports: Fixed an issue where some WebReports additional information such as constants
were not updated after upgrading CS Application.
 Facets: The "Count Accuracy" facet setting has been modified. The setting is now called "Display
count". The "Precise" option has been eliminated as it was causing confusion for non-
administrators. When the "Approximate" option is selected, the displayed facet count will now
depend on whether or not the user is a highly-privileged user (Admin or System Administrator).
Highly-privileged users will see the actual known values; this was previously known as 'Precise'.

5
All other users will see values displayed up to three significant digits; this was previously known
as 'Approximate'. Facets previously using 'Precise' are remapped to 'Approximate' upon applying
the update.
 Administration Security Hardening: A number of changes have been made to the

Administration pages for Content Server to improve application security. In addition to the
existing security features such as the administration passwords and IP address restrictions, the
following additional restrictions have been implemented.
o Cross Site Request Forgery risk has been reduced by the introduction of tokens on pages
that perform actions and submit forms.
o Old administration passwords must be provided before new passwords can be set.
o The Web Administration password must now be provided for several operations that can
change data, disrupt processes, disconnect the database or may have an impact on system
performance.
o A number of administration actions that were triggered by links or function menus now
introduce a confirmation step.

 URL Encoding - A recent change to the Tomcat web server now prohibits the use of certain
characters in URLs, such as vertical bars and curly braces. Content Server was changed to
accommodate this. External applications should review their implementations and adjust as
necessary.
 Trusted Referring Websites - This security configuration setting was changed to increase
security and allow more configuration flexibility. If using this feature, review the changes after an
upgrade to ensure security settings are correct.
 Transport - Category Folders are now transportable subtypes. The performance of dependency
scanning for parent containers was improved, and preference is now given to dependencies that
resolve to parent objects in a deployment package (the current Workbench).

 Java. The version of the Java Runtime Environment included with Content Server has been
upgraded to Java 8 update 112.
 HTTP-only support with Cluster Management. The HTTP-only Cookies feature in Content
Server allows you to specify whether the http-Only attribute is added to all Content Server
cookies. If enabled, this attribute indicates that a cookie should not be made available to
scripting (to browsers that support it). In past releases, the Cluster Management tool did not

6
support this feature. Cluster Management was changed so that it will now work, regardless of
whether the HTTP-only Cookies feature is enabled.

 IPool Quarantine - A new configuration setting allows the indexing process to be halted if the
maximum number of IPool messages are quarantined, instead of deleting the oldest IPool
message. In the dcs.ini file, [DCSIpool] section, set QuarantineOverwrite=true.
 WebReports - A feature that previously was found in RKTApps/CSApps for maintaining form
field values when completing a form submission, has been included in the WebReports module.
 Distributed Agent - Distributed Agent tasks that failed due to an unhandled error condition are
now accessible in a new "Task Error Administration" interface, accessed from the Distributed
Agent dashboard. These tasks can either be deleted or re-queued for another attempt. The task
information can also be exported to CSV for review and root cause analysis.
 Language Packs - A "Restart Content Server" button is now available after installing a
Language Pack to allow the administrator to restart the Content Server instance through the
user interface.
 System Report - System Report generation has historically been slow due to the method used
to generate Storage Provider information. Additionally, the calculation only reflected providers of
type External Document Storage. System Report generation now efficiently produces
information for all Storage Providers and their storage rules.
 Content Web Services - Document Management Service:
a) There is now a way to get Category inheritance during node creation when using
Metadata to pass in AttributeGroups that do not contain Category information. Create a
new AttributeGroup, set its Type to "Category" (do not change any of its other features
such as Key, Values, etc.) and put it in Metadata's AttributeGroups list during node
creation.
b) The Document Management Service's CreateVersion() method now returns the version
information.
 Logging - Competing implementations of thread and connect logging have been eliminated,
and log4c is now the only supported logging technology. Rolling log files are supported for both
thread and connect logs. Configuration is in the opentext.ini file in the [logging] section:
wantRollingLog=false
maxBackupIndex=10
maxFileSize=100MB

7
1. Collect Sub-Items. The existing “Collect Folder” feature is renamed to “Collect Sub-Items”.
The scope of the feature has been increased to allow collection of several additional container
types, including Email Folders, Business Workspaces, Projects and Personal Workspaces.
2. Search Grid Startup Management. The Admin Server can now control the number of Search
Engine and Index Engine processes that can start concurrently. Staggering the startup can
reduce the overall startup time with a large search grid by reducing CPU and IO contention.
The number of concurrent processes to start defaults to 6, controlled in the otadmin.ini file using
the setting “delayLimit=6”. Setting this to 0 will remove the limit.
3. Agent Logs. Log files for agents (e.g. Distributed Agents) are now enabled and disabled from
the same administration interface used to control thread and connect logs. Editing of the
opentext.ini file is no longer required.
4. Java. The version of the Java Runtime Environment included with Content Server is now Java
8 update 77.

1. Search Engine. Search Engine 10.5 is end of life, superseded by Search Engine 16 which is
included as part of the Content Server 10.5 Update. Refer to the Search Engine 16 release
notes for details on changes.
2. Java. The version of the Java Runtime Environment included with Content Server is now Java
8 update 72.
3. Distributed Agents.
 Crash protection for Distributed Agent Workers has been added. If a task crashes, the Worker
is protected, and information about the failed task is added to a new WorkerQueueError table
to assist with debugging tasks.
 Offline tasks are no longer removed from the status page after 30 minutes, allowing
administrators to better understand which tasks are intentionally disabled.
 The backlog line on the task summary dashboard now has its own scale, improving
readability of the chart.

8
 In the opentext.ini file, the TaskBlockSize setting in the [distributedagent] section is no longer
relevant, and may be removed.
4. Thumbnail Generation. By default, if search indexing is faster than Content Server can
consume thumbnails, excess thumbnail images will be discarded. A new option in the dcs.ini file
can be used to pause indexing operations to ensure thumbnails can be added. In the
[DCSipool] section, add
waitforthumbnails=true
5. DCS Pattern Matching. By default, duplicate patterns are counted when determining how
many patterns to count or metadata values to extract. New configuration settings allow this to
be changed to only counting or extracting unique patterns. In the [DCSMetadata] section of the
dcs.ini file, use
CountDuplicateMetadata=false
CountDuplicatePatterns=false
6. OpenText Directory Services: The following new options were added to the consolidate
Content Server resource dialog:
 Delete users from the resource that do not exist in OTDS
 Delete groups from the resource that do not exist in OTDS

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

9
summaries and charts can now also display counts broken down by task types. Distributed
Agents can also be configured for redundancy / failover.
 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.
 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.
 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.
 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.

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.

10
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
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.

11
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.
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,

12
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.
11. VISIO Support. The Document Filters now support Visio 2013 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.

13
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).
21. Platform Updates. Support has been added in this update for:
 Red Hat Linux 7 and Oracle Linux 7 with Oracle 12c.

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

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

14
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.
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.
2.17 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.

15
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
 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.

16
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.
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.

17
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:
 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.
2.18 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

18
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.
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:

19
 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.

20
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.
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

21
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.

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.

22
 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.
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.

23
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.

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

24
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.
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:

25
 NODEACTION:FAVORITE
 NODEINFO:CHILDREN
 NODEINFO:PATHTOID
 USERPREFACTION
 LL_REPTAG_HTTPCOOKIE
 CAT:<category>:UPGRADEABLE
 CAT:<category>:VERSION
 NODEINFO:RELEASES
 RMACTION:FINALIZE
 USERINFO:EDITTABLE
 UNESCAPEURL
 SCUSERACTION
 LL_REPTAG_!<varname>
2.21 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

26
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 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

27
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
 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.

28
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
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.

29
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.
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.

30
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.
2.22 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 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.
Content Server 10.5 has a scheduled end-of-life for December 2018, with superseding support
commencing at that time. Customers considering an upgrade to Content Server 10.5 are advised to
select Content Server 16.2 or later instead.
The following features have been discontinued or deprecated:
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.

31
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.
8. Solaris: Customer demand for Solaris as an operating system platform has dropped to near zero.
Support for Solaris will no longer be offered starting with Content Server 16. Customers should
transition to Linux or Windows as soon as practical.
9. Search Web Services API: This API is currently available “as is”, and will be removed in a future
version. Transition to the Search REST API (Content Server 16) or the XML Search API is
strongly recommended.
10. Natural Language Query: This form of search query is available “as is”, and will be removed in
a future version.
11. Search Admin Browser: This feature will be removed from Content Server 16.2 as part of
separation of business administration from system administration.
12. Filter Pack. Filter Pack has been replaced with Document Filters.
3 Packaging and Documentation

Downloads and documentation for Content Server are available on the OpenText My Support
(https://support.opentext.com)
4 Supported Environments and Compatibility

This section provides details on supported platforms and version information.
4.1 General Platform Support Notes

4.3.1 Browser Support Notes
4.3.1.1 Chrome
 The Short Links section on the General properties page does not include options to Copy. Only
Internet Explorer allows access to the clipboard, so it is not possible for us to add this feature to
the other browsers. As a workaround, users can copy and paste the links that appear below the
list of options.
 As of Content Server 10.5 the browser spell check built into the browser should be used. The
spell check functionality has been removed from Content Server.
 The Content Server Print feature is not supported with Chrome browsers.
 Google Chrome version 42 has an issue with Drag and Drop. Please see our Knowledge Base
article: Content Server - Document Edit, Drag and Drop, and Print actions are unsuccessful after
installing Google Chrome 42. This issue is resolved in newer versions of Chrome.
4.3.1.2 Firefox
 Mozilla announced that Plugins, written using NPAPI, are now a legacy technology. The Content
Server Print feature is dependent on NPAPI. If you upgrade to a version of the browser where
NPAPI is no longer supported then the Print functionality will not work.
 The Short Links section on the General properties page does not include options to Copy. Only
Internet Explorer allows access to the clipboard, so it is not possible for us to add this feature to
the other browsers. As a workaround, users can copy and paste the links that appear below the
list of options.
 As of Content Server 10.5 the browser spell check built into the browser should be used. The
spell check functionality has been removed from Content Server.
4.3.1.3 Internet Explorer
 General
o As of Content Server 10.5 the browser spell check built into the browser should be used.
The spell check functionality has been removed from Content Server.
 Internet Explorer 10
o The Document Type for Content Server is DOCTYPE 3.2 which puts the browser in
“quirks” mode. The CKEditor does not display correctly with IE 10 in “quirks” mode. The
work around is to activate compatibility view.
 Internet Explorer 9
o If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 to open a Content Server URL containing
"localhost" as the host name, Internet Explorer 9 SmartScreen may warn that the
"website has been reported as unsafe". To prevent this message from appearing, disable
SmartScreen Filter or use a fully qualified domain name in the host portion of your
Content Server URL.Application Server Support.

4.5.1 Database Support Notes

4.5.1.1 MS SQL Server 2014
 Performance. 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
 SQL Server Always On. As of Content Server 10.5 Update 2015-06 Content Server
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 supported with Content Server 10.5 Update
2015-12 or later.
 With SQL Server 2014, as per this technical alert, you must use trace flag 9481 if the
Content Server database compatibility level is set to SQL 2014 (120), or leave the
compatibility level set to SQL 2012 (110).
4.5.1.2 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
(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2679368 ).
4.5.1.3 Oracle RAC
 Oracle RAC is not supported by Cluster Management.
4.5.1.4 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.
 Content Server Oracle support includes Oracle client and Server interoperability support as
certified by Oracle where the minimum supported Database version for Content Server is
11.2.0.4.

41
4.5.1.5 Oracle 12
 Oracle Multitenant. 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.
 Content Server Oracle support includes Oracle client and Server interoperability support as
certified by Oracle where the minimum supported Database version for Content Server is
11.2.0.4.
4.5.2 Web Server Support Notes

 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.

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 My Support Review

Documentation and resources for Content Server 10.5.0 are available in the My Support area and
linked from the Content Server landing page.
OpenText also recommends that you check the Content Server area in OpenText My Support for any
documentation updates that may have been posted after release.
5.2 Install Critical Patches

OpenText recommends that you review Section 5.5: Installation Notes: Undelete
Uninstalling the Document Undelete module causes all documents in the deleted volume to be
purged. However, if any Documents in the volume to be deleted are reserved, have a Version locked,
or have a Generation, the uninstall process will fail. In this case, you must manually remove
Documents from the Deleted Documents Volume before the module can be successfully uninstalled.
(1698587 and LPAD-425).
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.

46
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 or SMB3, 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-
us/library/ff686200(WS.10).aspx, set or create the following registry keys of type REG_DWORD to
ZERO:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanworkstation\Parameters
DirectoryCacheLifetime=0
FileNotFoundCacheLifetime=0
FileInfoCacheLifetime=0
5.5 Installation Notes: Undelete

Uninstalling the Document Undelete module causes all documents in the deleted volume to be
purged. However, if any Documents in the volume to be deleted are reserved, have a Version locked,
or have a Generation, the uninstall process will fail. In this case, you must manually remove
Documents from the Deleted Documents Volume before the module can be successfully uninstalled.
(1698587 and LPAD-425).

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.

the database system.
2014-06 LPAD-37293 In some situations, the Transport Warehouse may fail to be created
during upgrade to Content Server 10.5.0, and the error may not be
trapped, leaving the server in a state where the Transport Warehouse
does not exist.

97
2014-06 LPAD-34407 It was possible to create dependency cycles in the Document Class
definitions that are used to build Facets. This caused an error
indicating that the maximum recursion limit was exceeded. To fix this
issue, the following changes were made:
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.
2. The UI will check for such cycles when the Document Class
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
of the Maintain Current Database page.

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".

and make the required changes. Please refer to the updated CWS
documentation on OTDN for more details on how to upgrade.
10.5.0 LPAD-25909 Additional steps must be taken to update the function signature of
GetPainterMenu, in order to run on Content Server 10.5.0. All step
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.
10.5.0 LPAD-33481 The number of steps executed at one Send On command is restricted
to 70. If more than 70 steps are executed, all other steps will be
executed in the background.
10.5.0 SIESTA-505 In order for the Content Server REST API to correctly handle PUT and
DELETE requests via IIS, the Application for Content Server needs to
be configured to disable WebDAV. The WebDAV Module should be
removed as well as the handler mapping for WebDAV. Since the
Content Server WebDAV module uses a different IIS Application than

106
that for Content Server itself, this will not cause a problem for that
functionality.

121
2014-06 CST-351 When a third party Web Access Management product (e.g. CA
SiteMinder, Entrust GetAccess, etc.) is used to authenticate a user
for Content Server, and the authenticated user logs off the third
party product, their Content Server session remained active. An
additional check was added to ensure the user is still defined in the
configured environment variable.
2014-06 CST-364 When using OTDS for user authentication, failed login attempts
were not being properly audited.
2014-06 LPAD-36900 A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists within the Content
Server Text Editor.
2014-06 LPAD-37339 Workflow audit events for form data now respect the Workflow

2014-06 LPAD-36866 When creating a Project from a Project Template, if the web
browser does not send the optional HTTP_REFERER header with
its request, then Content Server will return an error and a stack
trace will occur.
2014-03 LLWR-3091 When using a non-English metadata language, and clicking on the
Functions menu of a WebReport, a Server Does Not Respond error
occurred.

122

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.

Workflow Designer pages are fixed.
2014-03 SIESTA-474 Improvements have been made to the file upload validation logic of
the REST API.

123
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.

124
11 Known Issues
The following known issues exist in this release.
Release Issue Name Issue Description Fixed in

Release
10.5.0 AS-7604 Module Content Move must not be used

for single instance archive (SIA)
scenarios.
Update 2015-09 LPU-6950 Browsing enhancements to increase Fixed in CS 16

performance have a minor incompatibility
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

Update 2015-06 LPAD-23765 Update 2015-
in a LiveReport, the SQL statement cannot
06
make use of 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

10.5.0 SP1 Update LPAD-42045 Fix with Patch
upgraded schema correctly after
2014-12 pat105000321
upgrading a module. After module
and in Update
upgrade an error message may be
2015-03
displayed that the schema for the module
is newer 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.

125
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.]
10.5.0 WA-2171 Cluster Management does not work If you Fixed in Update
are connecting to Oracle with Oracle
2015-03
Instant Client.
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 Fixed in Update

Server host information if MSSQL
2014-03
database collation is set to 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 Fixed in SP1

with 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.

126
10.5.0 LLWR-3556 Although WebReports manages its own Fixed in SP1
scheduling 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.
10.5.0 WA-2333 The HTTP-only Cookies section allows Fixed in 2014-

you to specify whether the http-Only 09
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.

127
10.5.0 LPAD-32419 In Internet Explorer 10's quirks mode, The Fixed in Update
CKEditor does not display correctly.
2014-09
Possible work around 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.
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.

128
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 addressed in

version is promoted to a major version version 16.0.0
and the Renditions module is not installed.
10.5.0 LPAD-24182 When Text Documents that contain Fixed in Update

extended ASCII characters that are
2016-06
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.
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”.

129
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 ¢£¥.
10.5.0 LPAD-35284 Workflow Designer printing restrictions:
 IE9: Switching the 'Fit to Page'

flag doesn't immediately
enable/disable the 'Pages' control.
 IE9: All printed pages except page
1 contain a line on top of the
page.
 FF17ESR: Page selection icons in
print preview do not work.
 Chrome28: The print doesn't
provide the URL.
 Chrome28: Strange diagonal cut
where the color is missing in the
printed map.
 Chrome28: Printing using the
dialog 'Print using system dialog'
the output has the incorrect
colors.
 Safari 5.1.7: The URL is missing
and Title = 'untitled'.
 Safari 5.1.7: Print A3/Landscape
causes the bottom steps to shrink.
