If you upgrade from a pre-2.3.0.8 version of Records Management, then and additional webscript needs to be run so that in-place records created in pre-2.3.0.8 sites are shown in the search results of users without Records Management permissions..
It can be run as a one-off operation to convert all existing records or, for better
performance on larger repositories, it can also be run on a user-defined number of records.
There are four paramaters available for the webscript.
Note: In-place records created on Records Management 2.3.0.8 and later are shown without
running the webscript.
- batchsize (mandatory) - the batch size to process records in. So for example, if you enter batchsize=100, then records will be processed in consecutive batches of 100.
- maxProcessedRecords (optional) - the maximum number of records to be processed. If unspecified, this value defaults to that of the batchsize. If set to 0, all records are processed.
- export (optional) - "true" or "false" (the default is false). If true is selected then a list of processed records is exported in csv format. The list shows the file name and file node reference.
- parentNodeRef (optional) - process records in a specified folder and its sub-folders. See step 3 for how to get the parentNodeRef node reference.
- Paste or type http://<server name>:<server port>/alfresco/s/api/rm/rm-dynamicauthorities into your browser.
-
Append your required parameters, for example:
- To process 50 records in one batch of 50 type http://<server name>:<server port>/alfresco/s/api/rm/rm-dynamicauthorities?batchsize=50
- To process 100 records in two batches of 50 type http://<server name>:<server port>/alfresco/s/api/rm/rm-dynamicauthorities?batchsize=50&maxProcessedRecords=100
- To process all pre-2.3.0.8 records in batches of 100 type http://<server name>:<server port>/alfresco/s/api/rm/rm-dynamicauthorities?batchsize=100&maxProcessedRecords=0
- To process 10 records in one batch of 10 with csv output type http://<server name>:<server port>/alfresco/s/api/rm/rm-dynamicauthorities?batchsize=10&maxProcessedRecords=10&export=true
-
Press Enter to run the webscript. You may be prompted for your system username and
password.
Note: If you enter a large batch number then your browser may time out. The process will continue running in the background and details will be recorded in the server logs. As such, it's recommended that you set a maxProcessedRecords or use parentNodeRef to process a folder at a time.Tip: To get the parentNodeRef for a folder go to its parent folder, then hover over the folder and select View Details. The node ref will be shown in the browser address.

Results and/or errors are reported as a JSON-formatted string, or a CSV file if you use
the export parameter. Processed records are shown in the SkyVault.log as
below:
