7 Known problems 1. IBM Information Integrator for Content hot-fix IO21767 is needed for modifying security of IBM Record Manager declared documents In APAR15153, IBM Document Manager supports modifying the security of an IBM Record Manager declared document. To modify security for an IBM Record Manager declared document, you must apply for IBM Information Integrator for Content hot-fix IO Without the hot-fix IO21767, IBM Document Manager desktop fails to set security for a declared document. The IO21767 hot-fix was created for IBM Information Integrator Version Fix Pack 3, IBM Information Integrator Version Fix Pack 4, and IBM Information Integrator Version 8.5 Fix Pack IBM Document Manager desktop fails to retrieve group for the login user With Oracle database and IBM Content Manager Version 8.5 and 8.5 Fix Pack 1 as the back end server, IBM Document Manager desktop fails to retrieve the group for the login user. As a result, IBM Document Manager users can t get the correct desktop template. To solve the problem, you need to deploy hot-fix IO21088 that was created for IBM Content Manager Version 8.5 Fix Pack 1. APARs list APAR IO20457 IO20622 IO20713 IO20935 IO21071 IO21463 Brief problem description With multiple sessions in IBM Document Manager, when you changed the group for the first session, the new selected group appeared in the last session. With Hang Resistance feature in Windows Internet Explorer version 9.0 and above, IBM Document Manager power search dialog did not respond if loading properties or CVL list from server took longer than 3 seconds. With the fix of this APAR, normal behavior is restored Class property in the plugins ini file did not change when changing the IBM Document Manager class in Add From Library Template dialog. MClientAPI.LoadSearchResults() set the return value of the IBM Document Manager Client to one if the DMSearchResults object passed to it that was obtained from the DMClientAPI.GetResults method. There was a memory leak when you declared a document in lifecycle service. This APAR solve the memory leak problem for lifecycle service. Full folder structure was not shown when user added document into folder of IBM Document Manager client through Excel 2013.

8 IO21468 IO21846 IO22157 Users with low privileges could change the security on items of record. IBM Information Integrator for Content hot-fix IO21767 is the prerequisite of this APAR. With both IO21468 and IO21767 fixes, normal behavior is restored. With multiple sessions of IBM Document Manager automation service, a second session made many attempts to lock a request that already being processed. In the case IBM Document Manager automation service ran with multiple sessions, and there was only 1 request left in the requests queue, other sessions made many attempts to lock the request that already being locked by one session. The fix helps IBM Document Manager automation service decrease lock errors. Ddmextr.exe crashed when checking in Microstation file (.dgn). When checking-in IBM Document Manager Version 8.5 Fix Pack 4, DdmExtr.exe crashed when extracting the compound documents for a Microstation *.DGN file. IBM Document Manager desktop failed to add a Microstation file to Document Manager.
