JR64898: DOC - THE EXAMPLE FOR MODIFYING THE ALLOWED MIME TYPE IS INEFFECTIVE IN IBM BUSINESS AUTOMATION WORKFLOW 21.0.3

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• Beginning in 21.0.3, the 99Local.xml file contains the following
  settings. To override these settings in the 100Custom.xml, you
  must use the "mergeChildren" and "replace" attributes.
  
  The example that is in "Configuring document management
  security" is missing these attributes. The correct example is
  
  <server merge="mergeChildren">
    <!-- mime type allowed list which specifies mime types
  accepted for -->
  <!-- upload to document list or document attachment -->
  <document-attachment-accepted-mime-types merge="replace">
     <!-- specifies whether to allow a null mime type for upload
  -->
     <allow-null-mime-type>false</allow-null-mime-type>
     <!-- lists the mime types allowed for upload -->
     <mime-type>text/plain</mime-type>
     <mime-type>img/png</mime-type>
  </document-attachment-accepted-mime-types>
  <!-- mime type blocked list which specifies mappings from
  unacceptable -->
  <!-- mime types to acceptable mime types for download from -->
  <!-- document list or document attachment -->
  <document-attachment-download-mime-types merge="replace">
     <!-- will map text/html mime type to text/plain mime type -->
  
    <mime-type-map>
      <from>text/html</from>
      <to>text/plain</to>
    </mime-type-map>
     <!-- missing <to> element implies mapping to
  content/octet-stream -->
     <mime-type-map>
       <from>application/pdf</from>
       </mime-type-map>
  </document-attachment-download-mime-types>
  </server>
