Deviations from the CMIS standard
Alfresco deviates from the OASIS CMIS standard in the following ways:
- The ECM operation Remove Document From Folder (CMIS removeObjectFromFolder) requires the specification of the Parent Folder Id (CMIS folderId) parameter even though the CMIS standard defines it as optional.
- When a new version of a document is being created, Alfresco requires a new unique document name to be specified.
