2 About Extended ECM 23.1

This section provides an overview of Extended ECM 23.1.

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 (Private Cloud) is the equivalent private cloud service offering which can be
considered as an alternative to customer-managed deployments.

The release notes cover the entire family of Extended ECM products including:

2.1 Simplified software delivery

With the Extended ECM CE 23.1 release, we have simplified software delivery and installation. What
was previously installed separately has been consolidated for Content Server. Independently, whether
you have licensed Content Server, Content Suite Platform, Extended ECM Platform, Extended ECM
for Microsoft Office 365, Extended ECM for SAP Solutions, Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors,
Extended ECM for Salesforce, Extended ECM for Engineering, or Extended ECM for Government,
you get the same Content Server.

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 23.1 –
your installation is a complete Extended ECM system. For a complete list of components see
Packaging and downloads

What does it mean for your license agreements?

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

Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes 3

applicable and you are eligible to use only the features that are part of your license plan. For more
information, see Note on the End User License Agreement.

2.2 License Enforcement

The Extended ECM X-Plan licenses are available for all new customers and existing customers who
wish to switch.

Upgrading from a legacy license model to the Extended ECM X-Plans requires a new contract and
therefore cannot be carried out automatically. It requires manual steps after the license has been
changed.

The Extended ECM X-Plan license enforcement prevents compliance issues like overuse or
unentitled use. Because Extended ECM checks the license of every use upon sign in, it is not
possible to sign in to the system without at least an X1 license.

The Extended ECM X-Plans license key clearly shows the type of X-Plan and the number of
purchased named users. Users in groups or partitions need to be allocated to a license type. Upon
first sign in, each named user is counted against the purchased number of licenses. If that number is
used up, no additional new users can sign in. The license counters and their usage can be monitored
in OTDS.

2.3 Major new features and enhancement highlights

information about the processes within the product. This API is compatible with Prometheus and
can be leveraged to monitor system status in the cloud.

• Thumbnail ingestion moves to a dedicated agent to improve performance.

• System Search Templates: Enable business administrators to manage System Search
Templates. A separate location is created to host system search templates and business
administrators have the proper permission to manage them. For more information, see System
Search Templates.
• Search Regions: Enable business administrators to manage Search Regions. For more
information, see Configuring Index Regions.
• Database Upgrade: Added a pre-check to ensure that the proper compatibility level is set for

2.4 Discontinued and deprecated features

When software components of Extended ECM are reaching the end of their lifecycle, OpenText is
taking a phased approach.

In a first step, features are marked as deprecated to make customers aware of upcoming changes.
Deprecated features should not be used in new implementations. The functionality is yet not removed
from the software, but customers are encouraged to consider alternatives to prepare for a future
change. Deprecated features remain in this state for several updates, providing the opportunity to
plan and adapt.

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.

Discontinued
• Legacy Print controls with Internet Explorer: Starting with version 22.4, Enterprise Connect
and Office Editor no longer use Internet Explorer for any of its functionality. Therefore, legacy print
control or printing using Office Editor with Internet Explorer has been removed from the Office
Editor administration setting.

• Binders and Cases object types: Have been discontinued starting with version 22.4. They have
been replaced by Business Workspaces and were no longer recommended for new
implementations since 2017 (release 16.2.0). Customers need to convert existing Binders and
Cases into Business Workspaces using the migration utilities available with Extended ECM. For
more information, see Knowledge Base Article.

12 Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes

• Old SAPUI5 components: Starting with 22.4, both SAPUI5 components without the Create and
Complete function for Business Workspace creation are discontinued. They have been replaced
by newer components in 20.2. For more information, review Extended ECM for SAP Solutions -
SDK and API documentation.pdf.

• Engineering Workspace rule has been dropped from the Perspective Manager. OpenText
recommends that you use the Workspace Template rule while creating Perspectives.

• Imaging Reviews and Notes: Has been discontinued as of CE 23.1. It should not be used for
any new deployments. As part of the discontinuation, added a utility that migrates notes and
annotations to be directly accessible using Extended ECM Imaging Viewers configurations for the
ArchiveLink documents, which can be used for existing deployments.

• Smart View light theme CSS file: Smart View light theme CSS file (/img/csui/themes/
light/overrides.css), which provides the CSS styles for light theme, is discontinued in Extended
ECM 23.1.

• 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 the fourth quarter of 2023 (release CE 23.4) and is recommending converting existing
Projects and Communities into Business Workspaces using the migration utilities available with
Extended ECM.

Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes 13

format implementation will be the only OScript auto format option.

2.4.2.6 Extended ECM for Government

Freeze functionality deprecated: Freeze is covered by Closure (Z.d.A.) and for that reason will be
deprecated. Freeze will no longer be available on Documents or Workspaces.

2.4.2.7 Interactive Correspondence for Content Server

Interactive Correspondence for Content Server (ICCS), the Content Server module which provides
document generation with Exstream, is now deprecated. As the alternative, use Extended ECM
PowerDocs, which is the fully integrated method for document generation. OpenText intends to
discontinue ICCS by early 2025.

Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes 27

Details about activation and restrictions are described in the product documentation.

General
3.5.3.1 Usage of XML Workflow Extensions

Using XML Workflow Extensions requires XML Workflow Extensions licenses, Regulated Documents
licenses, or Extended ECM X-Plan licenses.

3.5.3.2 Usage of Electronic Signature

Using Electronic Signatures requires Electronic Signature licenses, Regulated Documents licenses, or
Extended ECM X-Plan licenses.

3.5.3.3 Usage of Controlled Viewing and Printing

Using Controlled Viewing and Printing requires Regulated Documents licenses or Extended ECM X-

Center CMIS requires additional licenses.

3.5.3.5 Usage of Searchable PDF DocTool

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.

Content Suite Platform

3.5.4.1 Usage of WebReports

WebReports functionality is not included in Content Suite Platform licenses. Using WebReports
requires Extended ECM, WebReports, or Content Intelligence licenses.

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.

3.5.4.2 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.

SAP S/4HANA
3.5.5.1 Usage of OpenText™ Fiori Business Object Browser for SAP Solutions

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:

• 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

Note
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.

Add-On Government
License term for the AppWorks Platform Dynamic Workflow

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 third-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).

Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes 29

Configuration changes to the AppWorks Dynamic Workflow such as adding additional task types or
additional attributes for tasks or Workflows can only be fulfilled through the OpenText Professional
Services team.

Unlimited Citizen Access

Unlimited Citizen access is allowed as long as the minimum number of full users have been licensed
(for SAP reseller customers and since 21.2 for OpenText direct customers with perpetual license). The
Software Product may be used by citizens or residents of an End User that qualifies as a Public
Sector body but use by a citizen or resident is restricted to use directly related to the governmental
use authorized. Use by a citizen or resident in any other capacity is excluded.

4 Documentation

locations:

• View the online help available in the Extended ECM Smart View and Classic View interfaces.

5 Supported environments and compatibility

The section provides details about which versions of other OpenText products are compatible with this
release of Extended ECM 23.1

Caution

Operating systems, databases, browsers, and other platforms advance on

independent schedules. OpenText identifies the version tested where applicable,
and if a version is not identified, testing is typically performed on the platform
software available approximately one month before the release date of Extended
ECM.

OpenText relies on the platform vendor to maintain backwards compatibility. If

the platform vendor makes a change that affects compatibility, there may be a
period where the platform is not fully functional while OpenText makes
appropriate changes. Depending on the severity of the changes, an update to
the latest or next quarterly update of Extended ECM may be required.

Note
For the latest compatibility information for OpenText products, refer to the
Compatibility Matrix (https://knowledge.opentext.com/go/matrix) on OpenText My
Support.

Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes 39

5.3 Kubernetes
Extended ECM is available as Docker Images and Helm charts to be deployed in Kubernetes, a
container-orchestration system.

Note
SAP customers: Note that the deployment using Docker images on Kubernetes
is not available for SAP customers.

The Extended ECM supports the following Kubernetes platforms.

Product name Version Notes

Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) 1.24 None
Amazon Elastic Cloud Kubernetes (EKS) 1.24 None
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) 1.24 None
Red Hat OpenShift 4.11 None

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
23.1 until September 2023.

Customers who expect to remain on CE 23.1 past this date should consider
creating and managing their own containers or use traditional methods of
installation and patching.

5.4 Virtual machines

Extended ECM is supported for use with the server operating systems listed in the previous sections.
The supported server operating systems may be installed on physical or virtual hosts, including cloud
environments such as Google Cloud, Amazon Web Service (AWS), and Microsoft Azure.

Customers who 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.

40 Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes

 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.

5.5 File formats

File format support
Extended ECM supports indexing, viewing, and thumbnail generation of Office documents and other
various formats in the following table.

All file types are supported on Windows and Linux except where indicated.

MIME type extraction is supported for all file types except CDR.

SAP SuccessFactors Document Management and Attachment Storage

support
Extended ECM leverages the SuccessFactors’s developed Document Management and Attachment
Storage interface. This interface is based on Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS).
Instead of using SuccessFactors’s built-in basic document storage, Extended ECM can be used as
the document storage repository. When new documents are uploaded, modified, or deleted in
SuccessFactors, the document is routed to Extended ECM and immediately reflected. Extended ECM
can receive uploaded documents from any SuccessFactors module that supports the Document
Management interface.

The CMIS attribute type Document Category is treated as an external document type. For this
release, the following table lists supported entities, Workspaces, and corresponding SAP
SuccessFactors Document Categories. Business administrators can create corresponding Extended
ECM document types (Classification) to control the storage logic of SAP SuccessFactors’s Document
Categories. Documents which are uploaded for SuccessFactors entities that do not have
corresponding Workspace definitions will be stored in the technical repository (CMIS volume) and can
only be accessed by Extended ECM System Administrators. Employees or HR Business partners can
only access these documents from the SAP SuccessFactors user interface. Please note that the
Document Categories might vary from SAP SuccessFactors tenant to tenant. The following table only
lists standard SuccessFactors Document Categories.

Workspace Business Object / Standard SuccessFactors Document

SuccessFactors Entities Category (Examples)

Central Sfsf:user (User) JOB_INFO,

Workspace MENTOR_APPLICATION_ATTACH,

Business administrators can create corresponding attachment declarations to route SAP

SuccessFactors’s native documents into the right subfolder within corresponding Workspaces. Please
refer to the Customization Guide for more details about the document type rules and the attachment
declarations.

Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes 47

 SAP SuccessFactors’ Limitations
Known limitations of SAP SuccessFactors’ Document Management Interface:

• SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central:

o SAP SuccessFactors passes all documents immediately to
OpenText Employee Workspaces once they are uploaded from
SuccessFactors. This integration does not wait/detect HR document
review approval Workflows in Employee Central.
• SAP SuccessFactors Recruitment:
o A resume/cover letter document deleted in Recruiting is not deleted
from Extended ECM’s document repository.
o SAP SuccessFactors Recruitment does not pass Business Object
information for Interview Notes or Interview Emails. These
documents will not be stored in corresponding Candidate
Workspaces.
• SAP SuccessFactors Performance Management:
o If a manager uploads a document for an employee from the
performance management form, then it is incorrectly stored in the
managers’ Workspace.
• SAP SuccessFactors Mobile:
o Documents uploaded from SAP SuccessFactors Mobile App are not
stored in the corresponding Extended ECM Workspaces.
• SAP SuccessFactors Document Management Interface:
o Documents classified as “Migrated” or “Default” within SAP
SuccessFactors can only be routed into native central folders within
Workspaces.
o Uploading documents from SAP SuccessFactors may result in
performance issues. SAP SuccessFactors plans to improve the
upload time in a future update.
o SAP SuccessFactors Document Category transfer is currently
supported. SAP SuccessFactors Document Types/Document Sub-
Types of transfer are not supported.
o Documents uploaded via SuccessFactors OData API are not
supported by SAP SuccessFactors Document management CMIS
interface. Therefore, these documents will not be stored in the
corresponding Extended ECM Workspaces.
o Documents under the Extended ECM retention protection cannot be
deleted from SuccessFactors module portlets.
o Extended ECM Upload Control (such as MIME type control,
document approval Workflow) does not apply for uploading
documents from SuccessFactors module’s portlets.
• No Support of “Instance refresh” and “Instance synchronization”: When
Extended ECM is configured as storage vendor in SAP SuccessFactors
document management interface, attachments stored in OpenText are not

48 Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes

 transferred into the target instance. Refer to the detailed information in the
SAP Help: Instance Refresh: Things to Know Before Refreshing the Target
Instance and OpenText Extended ECM for SAP SuccessFactors:
Customizing Guide.

These critical issues are known to the SAP SuccessFactors Document

Management Product Management Team. Customers intending to use Extended
ECM for SAP SuccessFactors as their document repository might be affected by
these critical defects and limitations. OpenText strongly recommends customers
use the SAP influence program for the latest update regarding the resolution of
these issues.

 Salesforce application managed package
The Salesforce application portion of Extended ECM for Salesforce 23.1 comes in two parts:
Extended ECM Content Services for Salesforce (base service package) and Extended ECM for
Salesforce (application package). The application package has a dependency for the base service
package and thus must be installed in the following order to avoid dependency issues:

1. Sign in to your Salesforce organization as Administrator.

2. In the Salesforce AppExchange, install the packages one at a time in the following order with
below links.

Order Package ID Build Package Name

1 04t1Q0000010LOB 1.227 OpenText Content Services for Salesforce

(base services package)

2 04t3s000002t0sCAAQ OpenText Extended ECM for Salesforce

3. When prompted, select Install for Admins Only (default) and click Install.
4. When the installation is completed, click Done.

6.3 Upgrade Notes for Extended ECM for Salesforce

Before upgrade, review this Release Note document and refer to the respective OpenText Extended
ECM for Salesforce installation guides. For more information, see the Documentation section on the
Extended ECM for Salesforce product page.

Salesforce application managed package

The Salesforce application portion of Extended ECM for Salesforce 23.1 comes in two parts:
Extended ECM Content Services for Salesforce (base service package) and Extended ECM for
Salesforce (application package). The application package has a dependency for the base service
package and thus both Salesforce packages must be upgraded from Salesforce AppExchange in the
following order to version 23.1 to function properly in this release.

Order Package ID Build Package Name

2 04t3s000002t0sCAAQ OpenText Extended ECM for Salesforce

(application package)

If your Salesforce organization is using the user licenses model (and not the Salesforce Site License
model) for Extended ECM for Salesforce application, you will need move user licenses to the new
managed package application. You will need to move the user licenses from the Extended ECM
Content Services for Salesforce package component in the Installed Packages section in the

Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes 53

Salesforce Setup to the new Extended ECM for Salesforce application. Failure to transition licenses to
the new Extended ECM for Salesforce application will give your users a license violation.

Salesforce Federated Search

The Salesforce Federated Search (SFFS) feature requiring a separate Tomcat application server
instance has been removed from the product. The new Federated Search functionality is now part of
the Salesforce module automatically installed with Extended ECM. Thus, the installation process is
much more streamlined and overhead has been reduced. Customers who wish to continue using
Salesforce Federated Search are advised to consult the respective product documentation for setting
up the new configurations in Extended ECM administration.

6.4 Upgrade notes for Extended ECM for Engineering

This section provides additional installation and upgrade information, including related or third-party
product information and any required critical patches. For more information, see IExtended ECM 23.1
Installation Guide.

Note
Extended ECM 23.1 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 23.1 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
23.1 capabilities.

6.4.1.1 Upgrade to 22.2 or higher

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.

6.4.1.2 Version-specific relationships

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

54 Extended ECM 23.1 Release Notes

Records Management cross-references are supported only at the node level. Therefore, OpenText
recommends converting the existing CAD document relationships created using Records
Management cross-references to CAD document relationships.

To convert the relationships:

1. Navigate to Content Server Administration > Database Administration > Test or Repair
Known Database Issues > Convert RM Cross References to CAD References.
Note: Records Management cross-references relationships stored in the KIni table are
considered for conversion. OpenText recommends validating the entries in the KIni table
before initiating the conversion.

2. Run the following SQL Query to fetch the existing Records Management cross-reference
types from the database:
SELECT * FROM KIni WHERE IniSection = 'xengcrt' AND IniKeyword IN ('Dynamic',
'Static', 'Node Specific')

3. Modify the entries in the KIni table to add or drop any Records Management cross-
reference type from the conversion process.
