JR41393: DOCSTORE_MOUNT.XML INBOUND PARAMETER DOES NOT WORK AS EXPECTED

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• inbound parameter in the docstore_mount.xml file is not working
  as expected.
  
  When set inbound to no, according to infoCenter, files are
  exported to the file system from the docstore. However, when new
  files are added to the filesystem, they also appear in docStore.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Create 3 directory as show below
  
  /dir1/dir2/dir3
  
  2. Edit docstore_mount.xml file to add additonal lines as below
  
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <mnts>
      <mnt doc_path="/public_html/"
  real_path="$supplier_base_dir/" inbound="no" />
      <mnt doc_path="/ftp/" real_path="$supplier_ftp_dir/"
  inbound="yes" />
      <mnt doc_path="/dir1/"
  real_path="/usr/local/envs/sup3/dir1/" inbound="yes" />
      <mnt doc_path="/dir1/dir2/"
  real_path="/usr/local/envs/sup3/dir1/dir2/" inbound="yes" />
      <mnt doc_path="/dir1/dir2/dir3/"
  real_path="/usr/local/envs/sup3/dir1/dir2/dir3/" inbound="no" />
  </mnts>
  
  3. Enable mount manager in the common.properties file
  
  4. Start InfoSphere MDM Server for PIM and log in.
  
  5. Run a script to create a file under dir3.
  
  var writer = createOtherOut("/dir1/dir2/dir3/out.log");
  writer.println("This is test");
  writer.save("/dir1/dir2/dir3/out.log");
  writer.close("/dir1/dir2/dir3/out.log");
  
  6. This out.log file shows up in docStore and this file also
  synchronized to file system under the real_path.
  
  7. In the file system under dir3 folder, create a new file.
  
  8. Check the DocStore again in PIM and this newly created file
  is also reflected in DocStore, which is not working as expected.
