PI24759: MOVING ITEMS BETWEEN LIBRARIES INSIDE A PROJECT DOES NOT UPDATE THE LIBRARY-ID

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a hierarchical item and one or more of its children are
  present in the same project and the hierarchical item is moved
  to another library, upon project publish, the children aren't
  correctly updated with the right library-id.
  
  This can be noticed from the WCM Authoring UI by the children
  not being present in the 'All Items' view of the destination
  library.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• When a hierarchical item and one or more of its children are
  present in the same project and the hierarchical item is moved
  to another library, upon project publish, the children aren't
  correctly updated with the right library-id.
  
  
  This can be noticed from the WCM Authoring UI by the children
  not being present in the 'All Items' view of the destination
  library.
  

Problem conclusion

• ANALYSIS:
  
  A defect in Project Publish prevented the update of the
  library-id of child items if the item's
  parent was also in the project.
  
  
  
  SOLUTION:
  
  Project Publish has been updated to ensure the library-id of
  child items is updated
  correctly. This will resolve the issue for new items and
  projects only.
  
  
  Existing items which have already been affected will not be
  resolved. An
  UpdateLibraryIdsModule has been included in this APAR to update
  affected items to
  their correct library-id.
  
  
  
  
  
  ===========================
  
   UPDATE LIBRARY IDS MODULE
  
  ===========================
  
  This module can be used to update the library-id of items which
  have already been
  impacted by the above issue.
  
  
  
  IMPORTANT POINTS TO BE NOTED BEFORE USING THE MODULE:
  
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  ---------------------------------
  - You must back up your database prior to running the module as
  a precaution
  - This task must only be run by the server administrator
  
  - The execution time of the task depends on the size of the data
  set
  
  
  USING THE TASK:
  
  ---------------------------
  
  1. Open a command prompt
  
  2. Navigate to the ConfigEngine directory
  
  3. The module can either be run against a single specified
  library, or all existing
  libraries. Run the ConfigEngine task with the appropriate
  parameter:
  
  
  UPDATE SINGLE SPECIFIED LIBRARY:
  
  ConfigEngine.sh|bat run-wcm-admin-task-update-library-ids
  -DPortalAdminId=username
  -DPortalAdminPwd=password -Dlibrary=libraryName
  
  
  
  UPDATE ALL LIBRARIES:
  
  ConfigEngine.sh|bat run-wcm-admin-task-update-library-ids
  -DPortalAdminId=username
  -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DallLibraries=true
  
  
  
  
  
  NOTE:
  
  If few libraries contain impacted items, it is recommended that
  the module be run
  individually for each library using the library parameter.
  Running in allLibraries
  mode is expensive as all items on the system will be processed,
  greatly increasing
  execution time.
  
  
  
  The execution time of the task depends on the size of the data
  set. A "Build
  Successful" message will be displayed once the task has
  completed. Please check
  SystemOut.log to see the extended results.
