APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Once enabled if an item with workflow is modified so that its
  expire date comes before its publish date an error will be shown
  to the user when they attempt to save that item.
  
  They should see an error message like:
  "The expire date of this item must come after the publish date."
  
  The validation will also apply to usage of the public API.
  
  To enable the feature add the following to
  /WebSphere/wp_profile/PortalServer/wcm/shared/app/config/wcmserv
  ices/WCMConfigService.properties:
  
  workflow.enforce.expiry.after.publish.date=true
  
  If the new configure property
  (workflow.enforce.expiry.after.publish.date) is not added then
  the behavior of the product should be unchanged.
  

Local fix

• NA
