Hi and thanks in advance for the help

I have aproblem that when i change a property in Alfresco, the document is versioned to a minor version on Alfresco 4.2.3.3

So if i upload a document to Alfresco via CMIS (create document 1.0) and after taht modifiy a property i get the version 1.1 i would like to keep the 1.0 version with the modified property. Only want to version if the content is changed.

What i have done so far

Set the value of the property cm:autoVersionOnUpdateProps in a just created document. I have done this diferent options:

  1. Try to set the value of the property cm:autoVersionOnUpdateProps. It says the property doesnt exist, may be is in the aspect cm:versionable?
  2. Add the aspect cm:versionable, for CMIS it doesnt exist Type 'P:cm:versionable' is unknown!
  3. Tried with cmis:versionable: but CMIS keep saying Type 'P:cmis:versionable' is unknown!

This errors are when calling to Session.getTypeDefinition sending P:cm:versionable and false. or P:cmis:versionable and false to the method.

I have a custom Type that i can modifiy, but i dont know how to change it so it overrides the value of that property. Is it possible?

Not an option

I cannot change the contentModel.xml to set by default the property cm:autoVersionOnUpdateProps to false inside the aspect cm:versionable because other documents that use the aspect need to work with that property true.

Questions

Is there a way to override a value of a property only for some types?

Can i via CMIS 1.1 set the value of the property cm:autoVersionOnUpdateProps someway?

Any other option to avoid the behavior?

Enviroment:

  • Alfresco 4.2.3.3
  • On Tomcat 7.0.53
  • Code in java with CMIS 1.1 and apache openCMIS 0.12

No CMIS doesn't see the cm:versionable aspect or it's properties. I'm not sure if that's a bug or not, but we solved it by a Site Rule which sets the cm:autoVersionOnUpdateProps to false (uncheck the checkbox).

You can also write a JavaScript which triggers on the rule of write a behaviour. But our CMIS application only writes to 1 site, so it was easier to create a rule for it.

You can override propery using override tag in your custom content model.

 <type name="custom:contenttype">
            <parent>cm:content</parent>
            <properties>                   
            </properties>
            <overrides>
                <property name="cm:autoVersionOnUpdateProps">
                    <default>(Put your value here)</default>
                </property>                 
            </overrides>             
        </type>
