Hey all,
A few months ago we upgraded from CMS 2001 to 2002. We're having problems
with a bunch of postings that expired in CMS before the upgrade. Are there
any known issues with upgrading expired CMS postings?

It's weird, they appear in the api in edit mode, but disappear when you
switch to live mode. (the postings are no longer expired, nor hidden)
Any ideas on why these pages would not appear?
Thanks for any help
Andy

Hi Andrew,

it is normal that expired postings disappear in live mode.
What do you mean with that they are no longer expired?

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
It's wierd. I've done a bit more testing on this and,  It appears that for
pages that have existed prior to the cms upgrade - when they expire, we can'
t
re-post/unexpire them to make them live again. For pages that were created
after the upgrade, those pages can be expired and unexpired/re-posted just
like normal. This happens on every old/pre-existing page I've tested so far
(on multiple templates also)
Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,

what happens if you edit them and set the expiration date to the future?
Do you get an error message?
What do you mean with you can't unexpire them?

Btw: did you ensure that the date/time of your SQL server and of your MCMS
server is in sync?

Cheers,
Stefan

When I say "unexpire" I'm mean that I'm seting the posting sunset date to
something in the future, which should put the posting back into production
(and be visable). CMS let's me change the dates and no errors occur. And it
saves the new future date, but the posting still does not appear in live
mode. (it does in edit mode)
Any ideas?
Thanks Sefan
Andy

Hi Andy,

no idea. Sounds like a possible database inconsistancy.
Please open a support case with Microsoft to get this analyzed.

Cheers,
Stefan
