OpenText has recently released a note alerting customers of the potential risk of data loss in OpenText™ Extended ECM applications. Those upgraded from upgraded from xECM CE 20.4 – 22.3 to CE 22.4 or later may still be affected. The issue occurs due to documents getting inadvertently flagged for deletion if the xECM Ancestor tables contain inconsistent data for the documents stored in Content server.
Data loss may occur if the documents that are inadvertently flagged for deletion are permanently deleted through automatic or manual purging. This can lead to significant consequences for organizations that fail to promptly address this issue
