PK70072: THE WCM PUBLIC API METHOD CONTENTSEARCH() DOES NOT SEARCH FOR CONTENT IN ANCESTORS AND DESCENDANTS OF SITEAREAS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The javadoc for this method states that "If site areas have been
  specified, all ancestor and descendant  site areas are also
  included in the search." But it does not search ancestor or
  descendant siteareas. Customers migrating from 5.1 noticed this
  bug in the 6.x API
  

Local fix

• Fix will be provided
  

Problem summary

• Users affected: All IWWCM users
  
  Detailed Problem Description:
  
  In 5.x the content search api method searched ancestors and
  descendant site areas and categories but in 6.x the behaviour
  changed so that it no longer searched ancestors and descendants
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem Analysis:
  
  The javadoc stated that this method would search ancestors and
  descendant site areas and categories and so this change in
  behaviour is being treated as a defect.
  
  Failing Module: WCM API
  
  Problem Solution:
  
  The content search API method will search ancestors and
  descendants site areas and categories
