2 About Extended ECM CE 22.3
This section provides an overview of Extended ECM CE 22.3.

The product family of Extended ECM is a leading Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system,
managing the information lifecycle across the enterprise, from capture to archiving and disposition.

It can be integrated into various business applications such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors,
or Salesforce, has deep integration into the Microsoft 365 collaboration suite and supports many
different business processes with out-of-the-box Business Scenarios as well as tailor-made
applications that can be developed or customized with Extended ECM.

Extended ECM offers different deployment options, ranging from installation directly on physical
hardware, virtual machines to modern, cloud-native deployments using Docker images and Helm
charts on Kubernetes platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and AWS.

OpenText Extended ECM Cloud Edition is the equivalent private cloud service offering which can be
considered as an alternative to customer-managed deployments.

2.1 Simplified software delivery


With Extended ECM CE 22.3 release, we have simplified software delivery and installation. What was
previously installed separately has now been consolidated for Content Server. Independently, whether
you have licensed Content Server, Content Suite Platform, Extended ECM Platform, Extended ECM
for Microsoft Office 365, Extended ECM for SAP Solutions, Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors,
Extended ECM for Salesforce, Extended ECM for Engineering, or Extended ECM for Government,
you get the same Content Server.

Content Server combines related products, modules, and components in one installable software
package. There is no need to identify, check compatibility, check availability, and install modules
individually.

By consolidating and simplifying our Content Server delivery, we will provide a clearer view of all the
capabilities and opportunities Extended ECM can bring to you and your business.

You will find these capabilities as structural elements in this Release Notes document, as well as in
the documentation. For more information see Documentation.

What has changed for you? After installing Extended ECM – or upgrading your system to CE 22.3 –
your installation is a complete Extended ECM system. For a complete list of components see
Packaging and documentation.

What does it mean for your license agreements?

Your license agreements and license keys will determine the allowed use of the software. Additional
functionality may be accessible to you. However, your license agreement with OpenText remains
applicable and you are eligible to use only the features that are part of your license plan. For more
details see Note on the End User License Agreement.

PowerDocs Attribute Structure. In PowerDocs, you design your documents, enrich them with the
metadata of the Business Workspace instance, and save them into the dedicated folder of that
Business Workspace.

Document Generation configurations that are required for Extended ECM can be transported together
with the regular PowerDocs configuration. Transporting configuration allows customers to have the
same configuration throughout several staging environments for validation and testing purposes.

For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM Platform: Integration and Configuration Guide.

will allow users to enable Email Delivery of Notification Center messages.

2.3.7.3 WebReports

WebReports Subtags: The CHILDREN sub-tag returns different data than the
NODEINFO:CHILDREN sub-tag. As it is not a standalone sub-tag, it has been removed from the
WebReports Tag Guide. To support backwards compatibility, the CHILDREN sub-tag will continue to
work.

2.3.7.4 WebReports Content Server Applications

Content Server Applications support files: The support files for Content Server Applications,
previously managed in the Support Volume, are now managed in the Support Asset Volume. Using
the Support Asset Volume will ensure the support files for Content Server Applications are persisted
upon upgrade. To support this change, the WebReport APPPROPERTY sub-tag now returns data for
an application’s properties file in the Support Assets folder.

Application.

Extended ECM Release Notes 10


2.3.7.5 ActiveView
Inline editing of Category Attributes and Records Management metadata are supported from
ActiveView browse templates. The main browse templates include sample code to assist with
configuring this feature. For more information see Enabling Inline Editing of Categories and Records
Management Attributes help.

2.3.8 Information governance and protection


2.3.8.1 Records Management

Smart View Legal Holds: Applying user holds is available in the Smart View Hold Management
workspace for users with adequate permissions. This makes it easier to apply a user hold, which
places a hold on any managed content that a user has created or re-versioned.

One or more holds or hold groups can be selected and moved in or out of other hold groups or into
the Hold Management workspace. Permissions applied to a hold group can determine the actions a
user can perform on holds within the hold group.

These changes apply to both Classic and Smart View. For more information on working with legal
holds, see the Classic View help and the Smart View help.

Mark Official, Remove Official, and Finalize Record permission change: Within RM System
Settings > Access Permissions, the Modify check box for Permissions can be cleared so that Mark
Official, Remove Official, and Finalize Record actions can be performed with only See/See Contents
permissions. For more information see Change Access Permissions Settings in the RM help.

Records Management email template: A new disposition search results replacement tag for the
Disposition Search First Review and Disposition Search Second Review email templates is available
to open the disposition search results in Smart View from the notification email. For more information
see Configuring Email Templates.

Records Management Reports: New Records Management, Physical Object, and Security
Clearance Reports releases are available. Your reports will need to be upgraded on the Application
Management page. This upgrade is to accommodate Content Server Application support and
properties files now being stored in the Support Asset folder. See the WebReports Content Server
Applications section in this document for more information.

Note
WebReports must be enabled to install or upgrade Records
Management, Physical Object, and Security Clearance Reports.

Records Management and WebReports: Two new WebReport tags have been added,
POACTION:REMOVELOCATOR to remove Locator from a physical item and
POACTION:ASSIGNBOX to assign physical items to a box.

Box Disposition eligibility rules: Box Disposition settings now note that options are not selectable
when Multiple RM Classifications is enabled. For more information about Box Dispositioning eligibility
rules, see the help for Disposition Settings – Box Disposition.

Extended ECM Release Notes 11


2.3.8.2 Physical Objects
Box Offsite Storage ID: The Box's Offsite Storage ID can be inherited when performing the “Assign
Box” action and when creating box content. To accommodate this feature, a new system setting
“Inherit Offset Storage ID” has been added, and if enabled, the box's Offsite Storage ID will be
inherited. For more information see the Physical Objects Configure Box Settings help.

2.3.8.3 Security Clearance

Security Clearance: Two new REST APIs are available to return the Security Clearance Level and
Supplemental Markings assigned to a User ID. See the OpenText Developer Network API section for
more information.

2.3.9 Enterprise Application Integration


2.3.9.1 SAP S/4HANA

Business Workspaces in SAP Fiori apps: The Extended ECM Fiori integration is fully CORS
compatible. There is no need for special configurations on the proxy/application server level.

For more information see the Extended ECM for SAP Solutions SDK and API documentation 22.3.

2.3.9.2 Salesforce

Salesforce functionality is licensed only with Extended ECM for Salesforce

Salesforce Files and Attachments Enhancement: Also known as the Salesforce Enabler’s Native
Attachment support, the Enabler’s Salesforce Files Attachments feature support Object independent
configuration options as well as the same global option. Choose the archive mode of Copy/Move/Link
at each Object level instead of using one global option. For example, the Account Object can archive
attachments in Copy mode, while Opportunity can have Link mode.
Refreshed Extended ECM for Salesforce App Administration: The Extended ECM for Salesforce
Administration application has been refreshed and modeled after Salesforce Setup tree to provide a
familiar and simple way to navigate configuration for the application. Gone are the app’s multiple tabs
and replaced with a searchable tree.

2.3.9.3 SAP SuccessFactors

SAP SuccessFactors functionality is only licensed with Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors

Extended ECM Release Notes 12


Central Workspaces: HR Business Administrators can configure the Central Workspace
Update/Creation Job to also create workspaces for Onboardees. This enables HR to access, verify,
and approve Onboardee documents that were uploaded in SuccessFactors early in the onboarding
process. Onboardees are identified using “status eq 'e' (or “active_external_suite” or “d” or
“inactive_external_suite”)”. Permissions are synchronized according to the rules used in the
permission roles (RBP in SuccessFactors).

For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors Customizing Guide.
Central Workspaces: The Central Workspace Update/Creation Job candidate filter can be used for
internal candidates, which eliminates the need to create separate jobs for external or internal
candidates and gives a unified and easy configuration approach.

For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors Customizing Guide -
Configuring Central Workspace Creation job.

Document Generation: HR can generate offer letters and other documents related to applications
right from the workspace. By selecting a single application for which a document will be generated,
Extended ECM generates a document with data specific to the application and candidate.

For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors Customizing Guide -
Generating documents from central workspace.

Document Generation: Document Generation support for Onboardees, such as welcome packages,
NDAs, or other documents from the Workspace UI, which gives a unified experience. Onboardee
documents can be generated by using the “sfsf:user” context.

For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors Customizing Guide -
Generating documents from central workspace.

2.3.10 Capture and ingestion


2.3.10.1 Document Pipeline 22.3

Support for Windows 11: See the OpenText Document Pipeline Release Notes for more information.

2.3.11 External sharing and collaboration


2.3.11.1 Integration with Core Share

On-Hold Documents: Reserve a document in Extended ECM when shared to Core Share and a hold
is applied.

2.3.12 System administration and operations


Logging Enhancement: Enabled rolling logs by default to prevent unconstrained growth of logs.

DCS settings: DCS will ignore the queue size configuration settings as it may conflict with other
settings when not appropriately updated. The setting has been removed from the administration
interface.

Search Query Logs: Restart is no longer needed for managing search query logs.

Extended ECM Release Notes 13


Storage Metrics Information: Storage metrics are captured daily in system monitoring. This will
reduce the system administrator’s manual tasks.

Security Logs and System Monitoring events can be configured to send to standard out using
Fluent Bit to external log aggregators.

Patches: System Monitoring events capture inconsistent patches when applied across a cluster.

Admin User: Option available to lock out Admin (1000) user if the system is configured with enough
named users with system administrator rights.
Search Indexing: Identify and flag potential corrupted documents in search indexing process. When
documents are indexing by the search processes, the system will check the content of the documents
and flag the ones that may be corrupted. Administrators can use specific search queries to gather all
the flagged documents to review and do further troubleshooting. This is the search complex query
that returns all the flagged documents: ( [qlregion "OTDocVerification" ] * ).

For more information see the Advanced Indexing and Searching Guide

2.3.12.1 Kubernetes deployment (Extended ECM Helm charts)


Fluent Bit: Option is available to deploy Fluent Bit as a sidecar container. Fluent Bit is an open-
source and multi-platform log forwarder tool for log collection and distribution. Extended ECM can
send Security Logs to Fluent Bit for aggregation. The capability to send other types of logs to Fluent
Bit may be added in the future.

Object Importer: The Extended ECM Helm charts can create and configure a dedicated volume to
be used with Object Importer. Once enabled, the container automation will configure the Object
Importer to point to the newly created volume, including necessary sub-folders.

Annotations for backup: Specific annotations can be added to the Extended ECM Helm charts if it
becomes necessary to skip the logs from the back-up operations.
Intelligent Viewing Ingress: The Intelligent Viewing Ingress moved into the Extended ECM Ingress
by default, simplifying the deployment and infrastructure.
Transport Warehouse package deployment: We are introducing, as an experimental feature, the
ability to deploy Transport Warehouse packages from a list of URL’s defined in the Extended ECM
Helm charts.

2.3.13 Developer
Unit Test Preference: Allow for random unit test execution. Enabling this option will result in the
order of unit test execution being determined at execution time. The default is to execute unit tests in
the order the tests are discovered by the unit test framework, which does not change between test
executions. With random test execution, unit tests that depend on sequential execution will fail.

Enable multiple selection in the OUnit view: OUnit View supports selection of multiple rows, which
in turn allows for multiple test cases to be executed at a time and multiple test OSpaces to be loaded
or unloaded simultaneously.

Correct Indentation: The Correct Indentation command (Ctrl+I) can be applied automatically to
generated OScript source code. This applies to script features which are opened from the Module
Explorer. It also applies to modules that are imported with the Import Source Code from OLL wizard or

Extended ECM Release Notes 14


when overwriting objects with the OScript > Overwrite Object source command. The feature needs to
be activated using the preference setting OScript > Apply Correct Indentation to generated code.

2.3.14 Extended ECM for Engineering


Engineering functionality is only licensed with Extended ECM for Engineering

Engineering Connect: Engineering Connect supports working on files without extensions by picking
up MIME Type information from the node’s info and populating the extension while creating the
placeholder. This is supported for DOCX, DWG, DGN, XLSX,PDF, and TXT. For more information see
the OpenText Engineering Connect help.

My Assignment Widget: Add custom columns on Project Workspaces and the Project Workspace
Templates. Custom columns specified on the Project Workspace Template will be inherited to the
Workspace instance and will be updated at the instance level. The custom columns configured on the
Workspace instance will be available on the My Assignment widget.
For more information see Extended ECM for Engineering Administrator Guide.

2.3.15 Extended ECM for Government


Government functionality is only licensed with Extended ECM for Government

No new features added.

2.4 Discontinued and deprecated features


When software components of Extended ECM are reaching the end of their lifecycle, OpenText is
taking a phased approach.
In a first step, features are marked as deprecated to make customers aware of upcoming changes.
Deprecated features should not be used in new implementations. The functionality is yet not removed
from the software but customers are encouraged to consider alternatives to prepare for a future
change. Deprecated features remain in this state for several updates, providing the opportunity to
plan and adapt.

After a certain period, functionality is officially discontinued. It is removed from the product and certain
cross-product compatibility is no longer maintained. OpenText offers either automatic conversion to
newer functionality, or if not possible for technical or commercial reasons, gives advance notice by
announcing the deprecation of the feature in the Release Notes.

2.4.1 Discontinued
The following features have been discontinued in this release:

2.4.1.1 Document management

Internet Explorer 11 Support: Accessing Extended ECM 22.2 from Internet Explorer 11 is no longer
supported. However, there are certain Enterprise Connect and Office Editor use cases that will still
use the Internet Explorer based HTML Control in 22.3. Enterprise Connect and Office Editor will also
not support Internet Explorer 11 beginning with the CE 22.4 release of Enterprise Connect and Office
Editor.

Extended ECM Release Notes 15


2.4.1.2 System administration and operations

Enterprise Library including Enterprise Library CMIS is discontinued.

Enterprise Library Data Sources are discontinued. They must not be used for new installations and
existing usage needs to be converted to Enterprise Data Sources. There are search features that do
not work with Enterprise Library Data Sources and search queries are generally slower when
Enterprise Library Data Sources were configured.

2.4.2 Deprecated
The following features are deprecated and will be discontinued in the future.

2.4.2.1 Remote Cache


Remote Cache is deprecated and should not be used for new installations. Syndication should be
explored as a replacement.

2.4.2.2 Document management

Server Platform:

• Windows Server: Windows 2012 support is deprecated as of 22.1.


• Windows Server: Windows 2016 will be deprecated as of 23.2.

• SQL Server Clients prior to version 18 will be deprecated as of 22.4.

2.4.2.3 Business Workspaces

The Import Configuration for Workspace Types, Unique Names, and Business Object Types with an
XML file has been deprecated since CE 21.4. As alternative, please use the Transport Warehouse.

Binders and Cases object types have been replaced by Business Workspaces and are no longer
recommended for new implementation since 2017 (release 16.2.0). OpenText is planning to
discontinue Binders and Cases in the fourth quarter of 2022 (release CE 22.4). Customers need to
convert existing Binders and Cases into Business Workspaces using the migration utilities available
with Extended ECM.

Project and Community object types have been replaced by Business Workspaces and are no
longer recommended for new implementations. OpenText is planning to discontinue these object
types in a future release and is recommending converting existing Projects and Communities into
Business Workspaces using the migration utilities available with Extended ECM.

2.4.2.6 Enterprise Application Integration - Salesforce

Extended ECM for Salesforce App support of Salesforce Classic UI

After October 31, 2022, OpenText Extended ECM application running in the Salesforce Classic user
interface will be retired and will no longer be supported. Additional capabilities and feature
configuration will only be available in the Extended ECM by OpenText Lightning application going
forward. If you are using Salesforce Classic, you will need to switch to Salesforce Lightning mode to
make configuration changes in the new Extended ECM by OpenText Lightning application. For more
information about making the switch to Salesforce Lightning see
https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000317946&type=1.

2.4.2.7 Enterprise Application Integration - SAP SuccessFactors


Document Self Service widget/Upload widget: Starting with release CE 22.2, this widget is
deprecated and is replaced by the File Upload widget in the platform. To avoid confusion the Upload
widget has been renamed to the Self Service widget.
SAP SuccessFactors Workspace Creation/Update (starting with CE 22.1): The previous job for
creating/updating Workspaces provided by versions CE 21.4 and earlier is now deprecated and is no
longer being enhanced. Existing jobs of this type will continue to work but this feature will be
discontinued in future updates. For more information see the Customizing Guide: Migrating from
deprecated Workspace Creation/Update job to Central Workspace Creation/Update job.

Document Generation for Candidates (starting with CE 22.1): Document Generation for
candidates using the Employee Workspaces widget is no longer recommended. It is recommended
that you use the new Document Generation action from the Documents tab. For more information see
the User Guide: Creating documents in the Documents tab.

2.4.2.8 System administration and operations

The Owner ID setting is deprecated as of CE 20.4.

2.4.2.9 Developer

3.3.5 Extended ECM for Government
License term for the AppWorks Platform Dynamic Workflow

The usage right of the AppWorks Platform with Extended ECM for Government is limited to the
dynamic workflow. The compliant use of the limited AppWorks Platform license can be checked by
verifying the deployed solutions. For this, the AppWorks solutions “OpenText Dynamic Workflow,
OpenTextEntityIdentifyComponents, OpenTextInboxTaskManagement” must be deployed. Other
workflows except the deployed solutions require a full-use AppWorks license.

The use of external REST API from AppWorks (for example, to integrate 3rd party applications)
requires a full-use AppWorks license. Customers are licensed to use the internal REST API from the
AppWorks Integration Bridge (AIB) within Extended ECM for Government (for example, to create
WebReports).
Configuration changes to the AppWorks Dynamic Workflow such as adding additional task types,
additional attributes for tasks or workflows can only be fulfilled through the OpenText Professional
Services team.

4 Supported environments and compatibility
This section provides details about supported platforms, systems, and versions.

Caution
Operating systems, databases, browsers, and other platforms advance on
independent schedules. OpenText identifies the version tested where applicable,
and if a version is not identified, testing is typically performed on the platform
software available approximately one month before the release date of Extended
ECM.

OpenText relies on the platform vendor to maintain backwards compatibility. If the


platform vendor makes a change that affects compatibility, there may be a period
where the platform is not fully functional while OpenText makes appropriate
changes. Depending on the severity of the changes, an update to the latest or next
quarterly update of Extended ECM may be required.

The section provides details about which versions of other OpenText products are compatible with this
release of Extended ECM CE 22.3.

Important
Customers deploying Extended ECM images provided by OpenText are expected
to stay relatively current with updates, following best practices for cloud technology
and continuous deployment. Patched containers with fixes will be provided for CE
22.3 until January 2023.

Customers who expect to remain on CE 22.3 past this date should consider
creating and managing their own containers or use traditional methods of
installation and patching.

4.4 Virtual machines


Extended ECM is supported for use with the server operating systems listed in the previous sections.
The supported server operating systems may be installed on physical or virtual hosts, including cloud
environments such as Google Cloud, Amazon Web Service (AWS), and Microsoft Azure.

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.

Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS are supported virtualization environments †.

Important

Extended ECM 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 a physical environment.
Static or committed resources within a Virtual Environment are typically needed for
performance-sensitive scenarios.

Extended ECM Release Notes 41


4.7.2 SAP SuccessFactors Document Management and Attachment Storage
support
Extended ECM leverages the SuccessFactors’s developed Document Management and Attachment
Storage interface. This interface is based on Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS).
Instead of using SuccessFactors’s built-in basic document storage, Extended ECM can be used as
the document storage repository. When new documents are uploaded, modified, or deleted in
SuccessFactors, the document is routed to Extended ECM and immediately reflected. Extended ECM
can receive uploaded documents from any SuccessFactors module that supports the Document
Management interface.
The CMIS attribute type Document Category is treated as an external document type. For this
release, the following table lists supported entities, Workspaces, and corresponding SAP
SuccessFactors Document Categories. Business administrators can create corresponding Extended
ECM document types (Classification) to control the storage logic of SAP SuccessFactors’s Document
Categories. Documents which are uploaded for SuccessFactors entities that do not have
corresponding Workspace definitions will be stored in the technical repository (CMIS volume) and can
only be accessed by Extended ECM System Administrators. Employees or HR Business partners can
only access these documents from the SAP SuccessFactors user interface. Please note, the
Document Categories might vary from SAP SuccessFactors tenant to tenant. The following table only
lists standard SuccessFactors Document Categories.

Workspace Business Object / Standard SuccessFactors Document


SuccessFactors entities Category (Examples)

Central Sfsf:user (User) JOB_INFO,


Workspace MENTOR_APPLICATION_ATTACH,
PERFORMANCE_REVIEW,
TRANSCRIPT_CERTIFICATION_ATTACH,
WORK_ORDER, WORK_PERMIT, CMIS

Sfsf:person (PerPerson) HOME_ADRESS, NATIONAL_ID,


PERSONAL_ID, PERSONAL_RELATIONSHIP,
PERSONAL_INFORMATION, CMIS

Sfsf:candidate (Candidate) BACKGROUND_CHECK,


CANDIDATE_HISTORY, COVER_LETTER,
GEN_ATTACHMENT,
PROFILE_ATTACHMENT, RESUME, CMIS

Sfsf:onboardee (New Hire ADMINISTRATIVE,


Onboardee) CUSTOM_NEW_HIRE_DOCUMENT,
POLICY_AGREEMENT

Business administrators can create corresponding attachment declarations to route SAP


SuccessFactors’s native documents into the right subfolder within corresponding Workspaces. Please
refer to the Customization Guide for more details about the Document Type Rules and the Attachment
Declarations.

Extended ECM Release Notes 42


Caution
SAP SuccessFactors Limitations
Known limitations of SAP SuccessFactors’ Document Management Interface
• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central:
o SAP SuccessFactors passes all documents immediately to OpenText Employee
Workspaces once they are uploaded from SuccessFactors. This integration does not
wait for or detect HR document review approval workflows in Employee Central.
• SAP SuccessFactors Recruitment:
o A resume or cover letter document deleted in Recruiting is not deleted from Extended
ECM’s document repository.
o SAP SuccessFactors Recruitment does not pass Business Object information for
Interview Notes or Interview Emails. These documents will not be stored in
corresponding Candidate Workspaces.
• SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 2.0:
o SAP SuccessFactors Onboarding 2.0 does not pass Business Object information to
identify the external candidate. These documents will not be stored in corresponding
candidate Workspaces.
• SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management:
o If a manager uploads a document for an employee from the performance management
form, then it is wrongly stored in the managers’ Workspace.
• SAP SuccessFactors Mobile:
o Documents uploaded from SAP SuccessFactors Mobile App are not stored in
corresponding Extended ECM Workspaces.
• SAP SuccessFactors Document Management Interface:
o Documents classified as “Migrated” or “Default” within SAP SuccessFactors can only be
routed into native central folders within Workspaces.
o Uploading documents from SAP SuccessFactors may result in performance issues. SAP
SuccessFactors plans to improve the upload time in a future update.
o SAP SuccessFactors’s Document Category transfer is currently supported. SAP
SuccessFactors Document Types/Document Sub-Types of transfer are not supported.
o Documents uploaded via SuccessFactors’s OData API are not supported by SAP
SuccessFactors Document management CMIS interface. Thus, these documents will not
be stored in the corresponding Extended ECM Workspaces.
o Documents under Extended ECM’s retention protection cannot be deleted from
SuccessFactors module portlets.
o Extended ECM’s Upload Control (such as MIME type control, document approval
workflow) does not apply for uploading documents from SuccessFactors module’s
portlets.
• No Support of “Instance refresh” and “Instance synchronization”: When Extended ECM is
configured as storage vendor in SAP SuccessFactors’s document management interface,
attachments stored in OpenText are not transferred into the target instance. Please refer to
the detailed information in SAP Help: Instance Refresh: Things to Know Before Refreshing
the Target Instance.

These critical issues are known to the SAP SuccessFactors Document Management Product
Management Team. Customers intending to use Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors as
their document repository might be affected by these critical defects and limitations. OpenText
strongly recommends customers use the SAP influence program for the latest update
regarding the resolution of these issues.

6 Upgrade notes

6.1.1 Configuring the Internal OpenText Directory Services

Note
If you are using the OpenText Directory Services bundled with Extended ECM
(Internal OTDS) and upgrading your Extended ECM family product from an earlier
version than the 22.1 release, after the upgrade operation you must execute the
following steps to complete the new OTDS database configuration:
• Sign into Extended ECM by adding ?func=admin.adminuserlogin at the
end of the URL.
• Access the OTDS configuration page by adding ?func=admin.otds at the
end of the URL.
• Complete the required database information and continue.
• In the next page, uncheck the parameter Migrate users and groups from the
Content Server database and continue.

The above steps also apply when using System Center to perform the upgrade.

6.1.2 Upgrade notes for Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365
Before upgrade, review these Release Notes instructions and refer to the OpenText Extended ECM
for Microsoft Office 365 Installation and Administration Guide and OpenText Content Server
Administering Information Protection Administration Guide. For more information, see the
Documentation section on the Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365 product page.

Note

Extended ECM Release Notes 46


If you are upgrading to OpenText™ Extended ECM for Microsoft® Office 365®
20.4+ from an earlier version and you are running an Office 365 Group/Team
Membership scheduled job, then you need to update the job definition. To update,
click the job from the Extended ECM Scheduled Processing list to edit it, and then
click the Save Changes button.

Note
There is no major release planned for OpenText Application Governance and
Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint 20.2 through to 22.1. This is due to changes in
the architecture and license structure. The next Major releases for AGA
customers are versions 22.2+ and involves an upgrade fee for customers that
purchased the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for Microsoft
SharePoint Full Bundle. This upgrade fee unlocks all Content Server Platform
features for all users, changing it from Limited use to Full use. Customers that
bought the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for Microsoft
SharePoint Add-On Bundle are not asked for an upgrade fee but can upgrade to
the new version as part of their current maintenance program.

If you currently own the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for
Microsoft SharePoint Full Bundle, the current 16.2.12 version is supported until
April 2025 after which you will be required to upgrade or continue unsupported.

Contact your OpenText Account Manager for the options and investment details
or contact OpenText Support.

If you currently own Content Server Platform + the OpenText Application


Governance and Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint Add-On Bundle, you can
upgrade Content Server to version 20.3 or 20.4 and use it with your current
OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint Add-On
Bundle 16.2.12. Post 20.4 release, the OpenText Application Governance and
Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint modules (not legacy modules and only
Integration Service based deployments) subset can be made available to
OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint
customers to complete their upgrades.

Contact your OpenText Account Manager for the options and investment details
or contact OpenText Support.

Architecture Changes between OpenText Application Governance and


Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint 16.2.12 and CE 22.1+
SharePoint On-Premises is no longer supported as a deployment platform. We
replaced this with a standalone service called the “Integration Service”. It has all
the features of OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for Microsoft
SharePoint but does not support the SharePoint Site Deployment Wizard nor the
ability to use the SharePoint index to index Content Server.

Impact

Extended ECM Release Notes 47


Customers need to deploy the Integration Service (you can do this in parallel) and
recreate the archiving rules in the Integration Service.

Customizations built on the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for


Microsoft SharePoint APIs or the SharePoint Native APIs that interact with the
OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint solution
may not be fully functional and must be reviewed. OpenText Professional
Services can help you with an impact analysis and provide advice to see if the
necessary functionality has been replaced by standard functionality or if you are
able to rebuild it for the Integration Service.

There is no impact on the Web Parts or the Outlook Add-In. You must update
them to CE 22.1+ but the functionality stays the same.

Upgrade to Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365

Customers who would like to upgrade to Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365
can upgrade SKU’s for the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for
Microsoft SharePoint Full Bundle and the OpenText Application Governance and
Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint Add-On. Contact your OpenText Account
Manager for the options and investment details.

Note
The Graph API Application permission, TeamMember.ReadWrite.All is
required for the app registered in Azure AD to add the team owner for the auto
team creation functionality. See OpenText Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365
Installation and Administration Guide in the Documentation section on the
Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365 product page.

Note
The Azure Active Directory Graph API will be deprecated in June 2022. This API
was used for the Office 365 Integration Service to enable OneDrive archiving. As
a replacement, the Graph API permission, “Directory.Read.All", “Files.Read.All”
and the SharePoint API permission “Sites.Read.All” is required for the app
registered in Azure AD. For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM
for Microsoft Office 365 Installation and Administration Guide in the
Documentation section on the Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365 product
page.

6.1.3 Upgrade notes for Extended ECM for Government


Before upgrading, review these Release Notes instructions and refer to the OpenText Extended ECM
for Gov Installation and Administration Guide.

Extended ECM Release Notes 48


Note
It is important that Extended ECM for Government customers make sure that all
Extended ECM for Government modules are installed (even though they are not
needed) before upgrading to version CE 22.2 and CE 22.3. This includes the
following modules:

• Extended ECM for Government (main Content Server module, also


including the Proxy User module).
• XDOMEA module.
• Extended ECM for Government AppWorks Platform module.

6.1.4 Upgrade notes Extended ECM for Engineering


This section provides additional installation and upgrade information, including related or third-party
product information and any required critical patches. For more information, see the Extended ECM
22.2 Installation Guide.

Note
Extended ECM CE 22.3 is a rewrite of the existing Extended ECM for Engineering
16.3.x solution. Updates to this new software are released in parallel to the
updates of the existing Extended ECM 16.3.x. Both versions can co-exist in the
same Content Server instance. The existing instances of Extended ECM 16.3.x
cannot directly upgrade to Extended ECM CE 22.3 or subsequent Extended ECM
CE versions because the architecture and design differs from that of Extended
ECM 16.3.x. However, the new projects can be configured to start using Extended
ECM CE 22.3 capabilities.

6.1.4.1 Upgrade to 22.2 or higher

The XENG module folder in <OTHOME>/module is not deleted during the upgrade because the JAR
files in the folder are in use. To avoid issues with these JAR files, stop Content Server and delete
these folders manually after the upgrade.

6.1.4.2 Version-specific relationships

Extended ECM for Engineering CE has been enhanced to support version-specific relationships to
retain the relationships on older versions of the documents for auditing purposes.

A new relationship model with the following relationship types is implemented in the Extended ECM
for Engineering – CAD Manager module:
• Dynamic
• Static
• Node Specific

Extended ECM Release Notes 49


Records Management cross-references are supported only at the node level. Therefore, OpenText
recommends converting the existing CAD document relationships created using Records
Management cross-references to CAD document relationships.
To convert the relationships:
1. Navigate to Content Server Administration > Database Administration > Test or Repair
Known Database Issues > Convert RM Cross References to CAD References.
Note: Records Management cross-references relationships stored in the KIni table are
considered for conversion. OpenText recommends validating the entries in the KIni table
before initiating the conversion.
2. Run the following SQL Query to fetch the existing Records Management cross-reference
types from the database:
SELECT * FROM KIni WHERE IniSection = 'xengcrt' AND IniKeyword IN ('Dynamic',
'Static', 'Node Specific')
3. Modify the entries in the KIni table to add or drop any Records Management cross-
reference type from the conversion process.
