[Solved]CIFS : why alfresco 'eat' files...becoming invisible

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hello,

I have two folders at the root (company_home) : "Importes" and "Editer"

Applied Rules :

"importes" :
   1)Incoming : Specialize type to my type
   2)Incoming : Move to "Editer"

"Editer" :
   1)Incoming : apply my own executer (MscImporter.java).

here the code of MscImporter.java :

if (nodeService.exists( pActionedUponNodeRef ))
      {
         // on increment le compteur de nombre de document scannes

         NodeRef lEditerFolder = mscSearchService
               .getFolder( MscFolderEnum.FOLDER_EDITER.getFolderName() );
         int lCounter = 1;
         // add the cm:countable aspect as required
         if (!nodeService.hasAspect( lEditerFolder,
               ContentModel.ASPECT_COUNTABLE ))
         {
            // set the value to 1 by default
            Map<QName, Serializable> props = new HashMap<QName, Serializable>(
                  1 );
            props.put( ContentModel.PROP_COUNTER, lCounter );
            nodeService.addAspect( lEditerFolder,
                  ContentModel.ASPECT_COUNTABLE, props );
         }
         else
         {
            // increment the value and handle possibility that no value has
            // been set yet
            lCounter = (Integer) nodeService.getProperty( lEditerFolder,
                  ContentModel.PROP_COUNTER );
            nodeService.setProperty( lEditerFolder,
                  ContentModel.PROP_COUNTER, ++lCounter );
         }

         // valeurs des métadonnées par défaut

         // nom de fichier
         SimpleDateFormat lDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "ddMMyy",
               Locale.FRANCE );
         String lToday = lDateFormat.format( new Date() );
         NumberFormat lNumberFormat = NumberFormat.getInstance();
         lNumberFormat.setMinimumIntegerDigits( PAD_LENGTH );
         lNumberFormat.setGroupingUsed( false );
         String lDocName = lToday
               + lNumberFormat.format( lCounter
                     % Math.pow( 10, PAD_LENGTH ) ) + PDF_EXTENSION;

         // content type
         Map<QName, Serializable> lPropertiesMap = nodeService
               .getProperties( pActionedUponNodeRef );

         // msc:courrier par défaut
         lPropertiesMap.putAll( MscPropertyEnum.getInitialPropertiesMap() );

         // msc:trace
         Date lCreated = (Date) nodeService.getProperty(
               pActionedUponNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_CREATED );
         MscPropertyTrace lTrace = new MscPropertyTrace();
         lTrace.setWhen( lCreated );
         lTrace.setWho( "" );
         lPropertiesMap.put( MscPropertyEnum.PROPERTY_TRACE.getQName(),
               lTrace.toString() );

         // cm:name
         lPropertiesMap.put( ContentModel.PROP_NAME, lDocName );

         nodeService.setProperties( pActionedUponNodeRef, lPropertiesMap );

      }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

CIFS : "Importes" is the mapped folder with CIFS.

Test case :

1) Copy/paste from c:\test.pdf to \\alfrescoa\alfresco (CIFS path)
The file is imported and remains in "Editer" with name 06020900001.pdf

2) Copy/paste from c:\test.pdf to \\alfrescoa\alfresco (CIFS path)
The file doesn't appear in whole system (either in CIFS windows folder nor in "Importes" or "Editer" folder).

Where is the magic ?


Help.

As I used to, I'am going to answer to myself ; it might help somebody.
The problem was from CIFS : file-server-custom.xml

The bug comes from the tag "relativePath" for Filesystem. Rules are not applied anymore. I have to remove it.
Hence, we need to simply let  <rootPath>/app:company_home</rootPath> then browse via window explorer to "Importes" folder and then I can drag and drop the same filename as much as I want, rules are applied.
