2 About OpenText Content Server SDK

Content Server SDK 10.5.7 consists of the following items:

• Content Server IDE Plug-in for Eclipse 10.5.7 for Windows and Linux

The Content Server IDE Plugin for Eclipse (CSIDE) is a source code-based development environment
that you can use to extend Content Server. CSIDE provides tools for creating new modules and a run-
time environment for testing and debugging modified functionality. The Content Server SDK package
is only the Eclipse Plug-in allowing for development of OScript. It relates to other APIs which are
released and maintained separately.

CSIDE must be installed on the same machine as a Content Server installation. The modifications
you develop in CSIDE on one platform can be deployed in a Content Server installation on any
supported operating system.

2.1 New Features
The Content Server SDK documentation has been updated to reflect enhancements coming in
Content Server SDK 10.5.7. The Content Server API, detailed in the SDK documentation, will be
improved periodically in future updates.

The 10.5.7 release has the following feature enhancements:

• Provide the ability to start multiple Oclipse

• Provide the ability to toggle Mark Occurrences and code folding
• Warn about potentially mismatched Weblingo escaping

2.2 Discontinued and Deprecated Features

The LAPI client libraries were removed from the Content Server SDK. Applications built using
previous LAPI client libraries will function using the Content Server 10.5 platforms, as long as integers
remain lower than 2,147,483,647.

The existing Content Web Services CreateMember() method was deprecated. The other
Create*() methods should be used instead.

The Content Server SDK documentation was removed from the Content Server SDK installation
package, and is now hosted and maintained on the Knowledge Center.

The following topics have been removed from the Content Server SDK documentation:

• Livelink API Developer’s Reference

• Content Server Builder Developer’s Guide
• Content Server Search Customization Technical Notes

5 Installation, Upgrade, and Patch Notes

This section provides additional installation and upgrade information, including related or third-party
product information and any required critical patches.

5.1 Installation Notes

Before you install OpenText Content Server SDK, review these additional installation notes and verify
related product or third-party product requirements.

5.1.1 CWS WSDL and Application Name Changes

To support the new 64-bit feature introduced in Content Server 10.5, a number of the existing data
types in the CWS WSDLs changed from a 32-bit int to a 64-bit long. With this change, the default
CWS application name changed to cws (instead of the old les-services name). This change will
not affect any existing applications that were written using an older version of the CWS WSDLs.

Existing applications that are updated to use the new CWS WSDLs may be impacted by this change
because of incompatibilities between the int and long data types. In most cases, the fixes for these
issues will be trivial and the compiler will issue errors or warnings for each case. To accommodate
this change, the Content Server 10.0 Update 12 version of CWS (les-services) has been included
in Content Server 10.5. This will allow existing applications to update using a more recent version of
CWS without having to update directly to the new 64-bit version of CWS.
Important Note: The new 64-bit version is the only supported version at run time for Content Server
10.5. You must point all applications using CWS to use the new cws endpoints, not the les-
services endpoints. The les-services application is provided only to allow existing applications
to update to a more recent version of CWS without having to update directly to the new 64-bit version
of CWS. At run time, all applications should point to the new CWS application.

5.2 Upgrade Notes

Before you upgrade, review these instructions.

5.2.1 Upgrading Custom Services
The new OScript source code format and compiler in Content Server 10.5 required changes to how
Service Data Objects (SDOs) are defined in OScript. To use your custom services with Content
Server 10.5, you must upgrade your source code to the new source format and make the required
changes. Refer to the updated CWS documentation (http://developer.opentext.com) for more details
on how to upgrade.

5.3 Patches
OpenText also recommends that you check the OpenText Knowledge Center
(https://knowledge.opentext.com/) for any patches or documentation updates that may have been
posted after this release.
