  • 1.  How to change content retrieval name in Filenet Content Manager?

    Posted Thu December 01, 2022 02:26 AM
    Hi All,

    For those documents already stored in Filenet Content Manager, customer want to change the content elements retrieval name. For example, the existing reteieval name is  'tm000001.tif' will be changed to 'ABCD.tif'

    Any idea how to implement it via ACCE / API or doing modification in database  ?

    Hello,

    you could create an event action for each document that will be added to filenet then use a format for your document title using java or javascript. If the document are already stored, then you will have to use the java api to go through each document and change the name accordingly.

    Hi Wei,

    The content file name (FileName) is a system property. and can only be changed when either you add the content, or if you check out and check in the document as a new version.  I had a scenario where the system needed to align the filename to the document title.  Often users would upload content with a given existing filename, and then update the document title.  Issue was always when the document was downloaded, it would use the filename (users expected it to use the document title).

    Regards

    Hi all,

    in this use case, I would adjust the Content-Disposition header of the response accordingly when downloading. If you use the ICN as a frontend, this can be realized with a ResponseFilter, for example.
    So I don't change the RetrievalName in the P8 itself, but when the content is made available for download.

    regards

    The Retrieval Name is stored in object store database schema: [DocVersion].[retrieval_names].

    The Retrieval name is also displayed under the "Content Elements" tab of the Document Properties panel in FileNet Enterprise Manager.

    WARNING: Update to object store database should be performed through the FileNet API only.

    Retrieval name is not a mutable property so you can't change it after entered. You can create a new version then delete the prior version. Note that content name(s) and mimes are stored in multiple places on the document object AND the content elements. Example doc object mime =  outlook but the content elements could be outlook + pdf because the attachments are msg and pdf.
