Update for Enterprise Connect Framework
8/19/2022 Connect and Office
hotfix1.
Editor Patches
The product family of Extended ECM is a leading Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system,
managing the information lifecycle across the enterprise, from capture to archiving and disposition.
It can be integrated into various business applications such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP SuccessFactors,
or Salesforce, has deep integration into the Microsoft 365 collaboration suite and supports many
different business processes with out-of-the-box Business Scenarios as well as tailor-made
applications that can be developed or customized with Extended ECM.
Extended ECM offers different deployment options, ranging from installation directly on physical
hardware, virtual machines to modern, cloud-native deployments using Docker images and Helm
charts on Kubernetes platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and AWS.
OpenText Extended ECM Cloud Edition is the equivalent private cloud service offering which can be
considered as an alternative to customer-managed deployments.
Content Server combines related products, modules, and components in one installable software
package. There is no need to identify, check compatibility, check availability, and install modules
individually.
By consolidating and simplifying our Content Server delivery, we will provide a clearer view of all the
capabilities and opportunities Extended ECM can bring to you and your business.
You will find these capabilities as structural elements in this Release Notes document, as well as in
the documentation. For more information see Documentation.
What has changed for you? After installing Extended ECM – or upgrading your system to CE 22.3 –
your installation is a complete Extended ECM system. For a complete list of components see
Packaging and documentation.
Your license agreements and license keys will determine the allowed use of the software. Additional
functionality may be accessible to you. However, your license agreement with OpenText remains
applicable and you are eligible to use only the features that are part of your license plan. For more
details see Note on the End User License Agreement.

It also includes standard widget features like Search within the widget, infinite scroll, and maximize
view.
For more information, see Smart View online help and Smart View widget configuration help.
Custom View Search Widget: Users can enter search terms directly from the widget.
Extended ECM for Government: Forward a document to another user when navigating the Inbox.
Extended ECM for Government: When viewing a Workflow Assignment, allow the user to edit a
document if attached to the Assignment.
Fast bulk method supports sub-location path: The fast bulk method automatically creates the
folders for the sub-location path of Business Workspaces even when running in a multi-threaded
environment.
Workspace Type specific icons: Workspace Type specific icons are used in all widgets, lists, and
search results. This allows end-users to quickly find the desired Business Workspace. Administrators
can configure this widget icon using the Workspace Type configuration. Business Workspace owners
can highlight their Business Workspace by setting even instance-specific icons.
Annotation Tag Filtering: The Annotation Tag feature has been expanded to include filtering what
annotations are shown within the Viewer based on what tags have been applied.

publishing rules for any new Intelligent Viewing for Extended ECM supported content added to the
container. Options include PDF/TIFF output, OCR, Banners and Watermarks, as well as being able to
delete the source file after the rendition is created if desired.
Transformations – Banners and Watermarks*: Users can apply Banners and Watermarks to
content when performing bulk conversions using our Transformations feature.
* = This feature requires the purchase of Intelligent Viewing for Extended ECM – Transformation
Packs.
Document Generation configurations that are required for Extended ECM can be transported together
with the regular PowerDocs configuration. Transporting configuration allows customers to have the
same configuration throughout several staging environments for validation and testing purposes.
For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM Platform: Integration and Configuration Guide.
Microsoft Teams integration functionality is only licensed with Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365.
Records Management Security Clearance and Supplement Markings: Share and unshare a
document from Extended ECM to Microsoft Teams based on applied Security Clearance and
Supplemental Markings.
Mark Official for Content Sharing: Lock a shared document when the document is Marked Official
in Extended ECM and vice versa.

Microsoft Teams chat.
Azure Information Protection: Provide support for Email subtype (749) and Microsoft Azure
Information Protection.
Print Document Versions: Print a single version of a document in Classic View by navigating to the
Versions tab and clicking the Function menu of the version.
The Pulse for All option can be disabled by administrators to improve performance.
Notification Emails: Automatically enable the Email Delivery channel upon upgrading to 22.3. This
will allow users to enable Email Delivery of Notification Center messages.
2.3.7.3 WebReports
WebReports Subtags: The CHILDREN sub-tag returns different data than the
NODEINFO:CHILDREN sub-tag. As it is not a standalone sub-tag, it has been removed from the
WebReports Tag Guide. To support backwards compatibility, the CHILDREN sub-tag will continue to
work.
Content Server Applications support files: The support files for Content Server Applications,
previously managed in the Support Volume, are now managed in the Support Asset Volume. Using
the Support Asset Volume will ensure the support files for Content Server Applications are persisted
upon upgrade. To support this change, the WebReport APPPROPERTY sub-tag now returns data for
an application’s properties file in the Support Assets folder.
Important
Content Server Applications prior to 22.3 use the Support directory. In 22.3, we
recommend that you rebuild your existing Content Server applications. They will be
automatically converted to use the Support Assets Volume.
Smart View Legal Holds: Applying user holds is available in the Smart View Hold Management
workspace for users with adequate permissions. This makes it easier to apply a user hold, which
places a hold on any managed content that a user has created or re-versioned.
One or more holds or hold groups can be selected and moved in or out of other hold groups or into
the Hold Management workspace. Permissions applied to a hold group can determine the actions a
user can perform on holds within the hold group.
These changes apply to both Classic and Smart View. For more information on working with legal
holds, see the Classic View help and the Smart View help.
Mark Official, Remove Official, and Finalize Record permission change: Within RM System
Settings > Access Permissions, the Modify check box for Permissions can be cleared so that Mark
Official, Remove Official, and Finalize Record actions can be performed with only See/See Contents
permissions. For more information see Change Access Permissions Settings in the RM help.
Records Management email template: A new disposition search results replacement tag for the
Disposition Search First Review and Disposition Search Second Review email templates is available
to open the disposition search results in Smart View from the notification email. For more information
see Configuring Email Templates.
Records Management Reports: New Records Management, Physical Object, and Security
Clearance Reports releases are available. Your reports will need to be upgraded on the Application
Management page. This upgrade is to accommodate Content Server Application support and
properties files now being stored in the Support Asset folder. See the WebReports Content Server
Applications section in this document for more information.
Note
WebReports must be enabled to install or upgrade Records
Management, Physical Object, and Security Clearance Reports.
Records Management and WebReports: Two new WebReport tags have been added,
POACTION:REMOVELOCATOR to remove Locator from a physical item and
POACTION:ASSIGNBOX to assign physical items to a box.
Box Disposition eligibility rules: Box Disposition settings now note that options are not selectable
when Multiple RM Classifications is enabled. For more information about Box Dispositioning eligibility
rules, see the help for Disposition Settings – Box Disposition.
Security Clearance: Two new REST APIs are available to return the Security Clearance Level and
Supplemental Markings assigned to a User ID. See the OpenText Developer Network API section for
more information.
See the OpenText Archive Center Release Notes for more information.
Business Workspaces in SAP Fiori apps: The Extended ECM Fiori integration is fully CORS
compatible. There is no need for special configurations on the proxy/application server level.
For more information see the Extended ECM for SAP Solutions SDK and API documentation 22.3.
2.3.9.2 Salesforce
Salesforce Files and Attachments Enhancement: Also known as the Salesforce Enabler’s Native
Attachment support, the Enabler’s Salesforce Files Attachments feature support Object independent
configuration options as well as the same global option. Choose the archive mode of Copy/Move/Link
at each Object level instead of using one global option. For example, the Account Object can archive
attachments in Copy mode, while Opportunity can have Link mode.
Refreshed Extended ECM for Salesforce App Administration: The Extended ECM for Salesforce
Administration application has been refreshed and modeled after Salesforce Setup tree to provide a
familiar and simple way to navigate configuration for the application. Gone are the app’s multiple tabs
and replaced with a searchable tree.
SAP SuccessFactors functionality is only licensed with Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors
For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors Customizing Guide.
Central Workspaces: The Central Workspace Update/Creation Job candidate filter can be used for
internal candidates, which eliminates the need to create separate jobs for external or internal
candidates and gives a unified and easy configuration approach.
For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors Customizing Guide -
Configuring Central Workspace Creation job.
Document Generation: HR can generate offer letters and other documents related to applications
right from the workspace. By selecting a single application for which a document will be generated,
Extended ECM generates a document with data specific to the application and candidate.
For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors Customizing Guide -
Generating documents from central workspace.
Document Generation: Document Generation support for Onboardees, such as welcome packages,
NDAs, or other documents from the Workspace UI, which gives a unified experience. Onboardee
documents can be generated by using the “sfsf:user” context.
For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors Customizing Guide -
Generating documents from central workspace.
Support for Windows 11: See the OpenText Document Pipeline Release Notes for more information.
On-Hold Documents: Reserve a document in Extended ECM when shared to Core Share and a hold
is applied.
DCS settings: DCS will ignore the queue size configuration settings as it may conflict with other
settings when not appropriately updated. The setting has been removed from the administration
interface.
Search Query Logs: Restart is no longer needed for managing search query logs.
Security Logs and System Monitoring events can be configured to send to standard out using
Fluent Bit to external log aggregators.
Patches: System Monitoring events capture inconsistent patches when applied across a cluster.
Admin User: Option available to lock out Admin (1000) user if the system is configured with enough
named users with system administrator rights.
Search Indexing: Identify and flag potential corrupted documents in search indexing process. When
documents are indexing by the search processes, the system will check the content of the documents
and flag the ones that may be corrupted. Administrators can use specific search queries to gather all
the flagged documents to review and do further troubleshooting. This is the search complex query
that returns all the flagged documents: ( [qlregion "OTDocVerification" ] * ).
For more information see the Advanced Indexing and Searching Guide
Object Importer: The Extended ECM Helm charts can create and configure a dedicated volume to
be used with Object Importer. Once enabled, the container automation will configure the Object
Importer to point to the newly created volume, including necessary sub-folders.
Annotations for backup: Specific annotations can be added to the Extended ECM Helm charts if it
becomes necessary to skip the logs from the back-up operations.
Intelligent Viewing Ingress: The Intelligent Viewing Ingress moved into the Extended ECM Ingress
by default, simplifying the deployment and infrastructure.
Transport Warehouse package deployment: We are introducing, as an experimental feature, the
ability to deploy Transport Warehouse packages from a list of URL’s defined in the Extended ECM
Helm charts.
2.3.13 Developer
Unit Test Preference: Allow for random unit test execution. Enabling this option will result in the
order of unit test execution being determined at execution time. The default is to execute unit tests in
the order the tests are discovered by the unit test framework, which does not change between test
executions. With random test execution, unit tests that depend on sequential execution will fail.
Enable multiple selection in the OUnit view: OUnit View supports selection of multiple rows, which
in turn allows for multiple test cases to be executed at a time and multiple test OSpaces to be loaded
or unloaded simultaneously.
Correct Indentation: The Correct Indentation command (Ctrl+I) can be applied automatically to
generated OScript source code. This applies to script features which are opened from the Module
Explorer. It also applies to modules that are imported with the Import Source Code from OLL wizard or
Engineering Connect: Engineering Connect supports working on files without extensions by picking
up MIME Type information from the node’s info and populating the extension while creating the
placeholder. This is supported for DOCX, DWG, DGN, XLSX,PDF, and TXT. For more information see
the OpenText Engineering Connect help.
My Assignment Widget: Add custom columns on Project Workspaces and the Project Workspace
Templates. Custom columns specified on the Project Workspace Template will be inherited to the
Workspace instance and will be updated at the instance level. The custom columns configured on the
Workspace instance will be available on the My Assignment widget.
For more information see Extended ECM for Engineering Administrator Guide.
After a certain period, functionality is officially discontinued. It is removed from the product and certain
cross-product compatibility is no longer maintained. OpenText offers either automatic conversion to
newer functionality, or if not possible for technical or commercial reasons, gives advance notice by
announcing the deprecation of the feature in the Release Notes.
2.4.1 Discontinued
The following features have been discontinued in this release:
Internet Explorer 11 Support: Accessing Extended ECM 22.2 from Internet Explorer 11 is no longer
supported. However, there are certain Enterprise Connect and Office Editor use cases that will still
use the Internet Explorer based HTML Control in 22.3. Enterprise Connect and Office Editor will also
not support Internet Explorer 11 beginning with the CE 22.4 release of Enterprise Connect and Office
Editor.
Enterprise Library Data Sources are discontinued. They must not be used for new installations and
existing usage needs to be converted to Enterprise Data Sources. There are search features that do
not work with Enterprise Library Data Sources and search queries are generally slower when
Enterprise Library Data Sources were configured.
2.4.2 Deprecated
The following features are deprecated and will be discontinued in the future.
Server Platform:
Database:
The Import Configuration for Workspace Types, Unique Names, and Business Object Types with an
XML file has been deprecated since CE 21.4. As alternative, please use the Transport Warehouse.
Binders and Cases object types have been replaced by Business Workspaces and are no longer
recommended for new implementation since 2017 (release 16.2.0). OpenText is planning to
discontinue Binders and Cases in the fourth quarter of 2022 (release CE 22.4). Customers need to
convert existing Binders and Cases into Business Workspaces using the migration utilities available
with Extended ECM.
Project and Community object types have been replaced by Business Workspaces and are no
longer recommended for new implementations. OpenText is planning to discontinue these object
types in a future release and is recommending converting existing Projects and Communities into
Business Workspaces using the migration utilities available with Extended ECM.
Imaging Review and Notes has been deprecated as of CE 21.3. It should not be used for any new
deployments, although it continues to be supported for existing deployments.
After October 31, 2022, OpenText Extended ECM application running in the Salesforce Classic user
interface will be retired and will no longer be supported. Additional capabilities and feature
configuration will only be available in the Extended ECM by OpenText Lightning application going
forward. If you are using Salesforce Classic, you will need to switch to Salesforce Lightning mode to
make configuration changes in the new Extended ECM by OpenText Lightning application. For more
information about making the switch to Salesforce Lightning see
https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000317946&type=1.
Document Generation for Candidates (starting with CE 22.1): Document Generation for
candidates using the Employee Workspaces widget is no longer recommended. It is recommended
that you use the new Document Generation action from the Documents tab. For more information see
the User Guide: Creating documents in the Documents tab.
2.4.2.9 Developer
OSX Export: Functionality is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CSIDE.

Using Archive Center CMIS requires additional licenses.
The Searchable PDF DocTool allows rendering of scanned documents to searchable PDF/A. The
DocTool usage is strictly restricted to scan pipelines together with Enterprise Scan, which means it is
only for documents manually scanned in with Enterprise Scan. Batch conversion of imported images
is expressively not a legitimate use of the software.
WebReports is deployed but not enabled by default. If your organization has licensed Extended ECM,
WebReports, or Content Intelligence you are entitled to enable WebReports and confirm the number
of licensed seats for your organization.
3.3.3.2 Usage of Automatic Document Numbering and Table Key Lookup attributes
Automatic Document Numbering (ADN) and ADN Table Key Lookup attributes are not included in
Content Suite Platform licenses. Using Automatic Document Numbering and ADN Table Key Lookup
attributes require Extended ECM licenses.
OpenText Fiori Business Object Browser for SAP Solutions includes two add-ons of OpenText Vendor
Invoice Management for SAP Solutions to implement custom Business Object Browser Fiori apps to
show SAP business objects and its data, browse Business Objects, and bring content into context by
integrating the Business Documents Fiori App and Business Workspace Fiori App of Extended ECM.
You are allowed to use the customizing options and enhancements described in the OpenText Vendor
Invoice Management for SAP Solutions Customizing Guide for Foundation.
The following usages need extra licenses for OpenText Vendor Invoice Management for SAP
Solutions1:
• Solutions specifically designed for preconfigured processes such as incoming sales orders,
purchase order/purchase requisition dashboard, or incoming delivery.
• OpenText Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions for:
o Import
o Capture
o Dispatch
o Process
• 1 In case of doubt, the license audit report of Vendor Invoice Management can be executed to
find out if the framework is used in a way that needs extra licenses for OpenText Vendor
Invoice Management for SAP Solutions.
The usage right of the AppWorks Platform with Extended ECM for Government is limited to the
dynamic workflow. The compliant use of the limited AppWorks Platform license can be checked by
verifying the deployed solutions. For this, the AppWorks solutions “OpenText Dynamic Workflow,
OpenTextEntityIdentifyComponents, OpenTextInboxTaskManagement” must be deployed. Other
workflows except the deployed solutions require a full-use AppWorks license.
The use of external REST API from AppWorks (for example, to integrate 3rd party applications)
requires a full-use AppWorks license. Customers are licensed to use the internal REST API from the
AppWorks Integration Bridge (AIB) within Extended ECM for Government (for example, to create
WebReports).
Configuration changes to the AppWorks Dynamic Workflow such as adding additional task types,
additional attributes for tasks or workflows can only be fulfilled through the OpenText Professional
Services team.

Extended ECM is available as Docker Images and Helm charts to be deployed in Kubernetes, a
container-orchestration system.
Important
Customers deploying Extended ECM images provided by OpenText are expected
to stay relatively current with updates, following best practices for cloud technology
and continuous deployment. Patched containers with fixes will be provided for CE
22.3 until January 2023.
Customers who expect to remain on CE 22.3 past this date should consider
creating and managing their own containers or use traditional methods of
installation and patching.
Customers that choose to use a virtual environment are encouraged to select a virtualization platform
intended for production systems and known to be fully supported by the server operating system
vendor.
Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and AWS are supported virtualization environments †.
Important
Extended ECM is a resource intensive application and will require at least the same
amount of resources in a virtual environment as it would in a physical environment.
Therefore, additional resource scaling may be required to maintain the same level
of performance in a virtual environment as observed in a physical environment.
Static or committed resources within a Virtual Environment are typically needed for
performance-sensitive scenarios.
All file types are supported on Windows and Linux except where indicated.
MIME type extraction is supported for all file types except CDR.
On Linux operating systems, only Western languages are supported for View as Web Page and
Thumbnails.

Documentation section on the Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365 product page.
Note
Note
There is no major release planned for OpenText Application Governance and
Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint 20.2 through to 22.1. This is due to changes in
the architecture and license structure. The next Major releases for AGA
customers are versions 22.2+ and involves an upgrade fee for customers that
purchased the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for Microsoft
SharePoint Full Bundle. This upgrade fee unlocks all Content Server Platform
features for all users, changing it from Limited use to Full use. Customers that
bought the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for Microsoft
SharePoint Add-On Bundle are not asked for an upgrade fee but can upgrade to
the new version as part of their current maintenance program.
If you currently own the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for
Microsoft SharePoint Full Bundle, the current 16.2.12 version is supported until
April 2025 after which you will be required to upgrade or continue unsupported.

or contact OpenText Support.

Impact
There is no impact on the Web Parts or the Outlook Add-In. You must update
them to CE 22.1+ but the functionality stays the same.

can upgrade SKU’s for the OpenText Application Governance and Archiving for
Microsoft SharePoint Full Bundle and the OpenText Application Governance and
Archiving for Microsoft SharePoint Add-On. Contact your OpenText Account

Note
The Graph API Application permission, TeamMember.ReadWrite.All is
required for the app registered in Azure AD to add the team owner for the auto
team creation functionality. See OpenText Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365
Installation and Administration Guide in the Documentation section on the
Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365 product page.
Note
The Azure Active Directory Graph API will be deprecated in June 2022. This API
was used for the Office 365 Integration Service to enable OneDrive archiving. As
a replacement, the Graph API permission, “Directory.Read.All", “Files.Read.All”
and the SharePoint API permission “Sites.Read.All” is required for the app
registered in Azure AD. For more information see the OpenText Extended ECM
for Microsoft Office 365 Installation and Administration Guide in the
Documentation section on the Extended ECM for Microsoft Office 365 product
page.
Note
Extended ECM CE 22.3 is a rewrite of the existing Extended ECM for Engineering
16.3.x solution. Updates to this new software are released in parallel to the
updates of the existing Extended ECM 16.3.x. Both versions can co-exist in the
same Content Server instance. The existing instances of Extended ECM 16.3.x
cannot directly upgrade to Extended ECM CE 22.3 or subsequent Extended ECM
CE versions because the architecture and design differs from that of Extended
ECM 16.3.x. However, the new projects can be configured to start using Extended
ECM CE 22.3 capabilities.
The XENG module folder in <OTHOME>/module is not deleted during the upgrade because the JAR
files in the folder are in use. To avoid issues with these JAR files, stop Content Server and delete
these folders manually after the upgrade.
Extended ECM for Engineering CE has been enhanced to support version-specific relationships to
retain the relationships on older versions of the documents for auditing purposes.
A new relationship model with the following relationship types is implemented in the Extended ECM
for Engineering – CAD Manager module:
• Dynamic
• Static
• Node Specific

first take the photo, then add it to Content Server from the Content
Server Mobile app. This is a limitation within Android.
Business Workspaces
OTOWA-802 Editing using Office Online is not supported for content with AIP
Sensitivity Labels. This is a limitation of the WOPI Protocol from
Microsoft. If this is a requirement, please open a support case with
Microsoft and file a Design Change Request (DCR).

Information governance and protection
SAPSSF-5628
The scheduled job for group synchronization doesn’t detect the
following group modifications in incremental mode (sync from last run):
• A group is renamed in SAP SuccessFactors.
• A role is renamed in SAP SuccessFactors.
• A group in SAP SuccessFactors uses dynamically calculated
group members (for example all users from a certain country)
and the group membership changes.
In all the cases above the group synchronization must be executed
once in Full Sync mode. If a role has been renamed the HR Functional
Rights must be adjusted accordingly prior to the sync.
SAPSSF-8516 Using OAuth for the SuccessFactors integration is not supported for the
following scenarios:
• Workspace creation using the former Workspace
Creation/Update job.
• Manual Workspace creation using the Take Action menu using
objaction=workspace (see 12.2 Configuring Take Action
menu for creating/updating/viewing workspaces).
Use the new Central Workspace creation instead.
SAPSSF-9124 SuccessFactors Inbox functionality uses Oracle triggers. Turning off the
triggers in Oracle is not recommended.
SAPSSF-6216 If the CMIS connection is removed and the user tries to create the
Candidate Workspace using Fast Bulk method an error is thrown
stating “Unable to move the document since it already exists”.
SAPSSF-6008 Permission propagation: Template Group is not replaced with the actual
group when the condition is Default=True.
SAPSSF-8742 MIME type icon and preview is missing for documents with extensions
DOC, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX uploaded using CMIS.
