Hi All.

I have the following problem:
In our cms application we have alot of references to other postings
stored as a customProperty.

We know want to update all these properties. We have a function which
extracts all postings containing a customProperty with a value that
starts with "/Channels/".

We update all these (and their earlier revisions) and everything seems
fine. BUT. We wanted to be sure, that all references where updated so
we made query against the cms database:

select count(*) from NodeProperty where PropValue like '/Channels/
OLDVALUE/%' and expected this to be 0. However there are now more rows
than there was before.

When we do a:
select count(*) from NodeProperty where PropValue like '/Channels/
NEWVALUE/%'  we can confirm that almost 700 updates were made...

Should we be concerned that we have missed some CustomProperties in
some way?? Or does the NodeProperty table contain data about other
things than CustomProperties??

Thanks

Hi Thomas,

this query will also return content from historical revisions.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Thomas,

just to add: to verify the change you should use the MCMS object model:
Searches.GetPostingsByCustomProperty(name,value)

Cheers,
Stefan

I thought that it also contained ealier revisions, and thats why i
also updatet these, so my users can revert back to ealier versions.
My concern is that i have missed something since i still see 2900 rows
with the old value... Does this table also contain CustomProperty for
deleted postings?? This could be the cause?

Btw.. thanks for the very quick reply, it is highly appreciated...

Hi,

you cannot change content of historical revisions.
And yes: also content of delete pages are stored here.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi again.

Just to clarify, then this code does nothing other than updating the
inital WorkingRevision of the posting??


private void UpdateSingleRef(Posting p, string propertyName,
string newPath)
{
UpdateCmsRefManager man =3D new UpdateCmsRefManager();

//First update the workin revision . Approve
man.UpdateCustomProperty(p, propertyName, newPath, true);
count++;

//then update all earlier revistions. Dont approve.
PostingCollection pc =3D p.Revisions(true, true);
foreach (Posting posting in pc)
{
man.UpdateCustomProperty(posting, propertyName, newPath,
false);
count++;
}


}

Once again.. thanks

Yes. You just do it over and over again.
With other words: you create multiple more revisions with this code.

Cheers,
Stefan
