Making all content versionable

Edit the contentModel.xml file to enable versioning for all content in the repository.

1. Download the contentModel.xml file.

   If you are deploying a nightly build, you might prefer to extract the contentModel.xml file from the deployed SkyVault.war file to ensure you have the correct version.

2. Create a $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/models directory.
3. In the contentModel.xml file, search for <type name="cm:content">, and immediately after the closing </properties> tag, insert the following lines to make the content versionable:

   <mandatory-aspects>       
       <aspect>cm:versionable</aspect>    
   </mandatory-aspects>

4. Copy the edited contentModel.xml file to the $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/models directory.
5. Add a Spring context file to $TOMCAT_HOME/shared/classes/alfresco/extension with the following lines:

   <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
   <!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
   
   <beans>
       <bean parent="dictionaryModelBootstrap" depends-on="dictionaryBootstrap">
           <property name="models">
               <list>
                   <value>alfresco/extension/models/contentModel.xml</value>
               </list>
           </property>
       </bean>
   </beans>

6. Save the file.
7. Restart the SkyVault Community Edition server.
