  • 1.  Change "creator" system property fails.

    We need to change the "creator" property when committing a document.

    Went to ACCE, Object Store security and granted "Modify certain properties" to the user (This object only). It is supposed to allow editing system properties like creator, date added etc.

    Restarted WAS but I'm still getting an error that "creator" property is read-only. 

    We managed to successfully change creator using API in several document migration projects.

    Is there anything else I need to do? Has anyone succeed in this?

    Hi Christos,

    The permissions you are setting should be sufficient (as described in this Tech Note). I've also used this before for migrations.
    Setting selected system properties on IBM FileNet P8 document versions

    How are you adding the document and setting the properties? I believe this is only possible via API code.
    Are you trying something else like Change PreProcessor or synchronous Event Action?

    Regards,
    Dave

    Hi Dave,

    I expected that the user having the  "Modify certain system properties"  privilege would be able to change creator or DateCreated etc. using the ACCE interface which does not seem to be the case.

    We never had any issues changing these system properties using API. 

    The read-only error was due to an incorrect configuration file.

    Thank you for the response.

    Christos,

    You can only update that property when you create a document.  Otherwise, it is read-only from that point forward even with the "Modify certain properties" right.

    Let me know if we can help further.
