setobjectright and public access restore problem

Thanh_Ho

Hi everyone,We have a dozen of items with "public access" permission record deleted. Normally, they can be restored using LL web interface. However, we want to do it automatically via Java and LAPI. When I tried using SetObjectRight to either add or update RIGHT_WORLD, it didn't work properly and there seems to be a bug somewhere in the system. The main problem seems to be that "public access" is a "public" acltype but not standard type.Can anyone help?Thank you,Thanh

Hi Thanh,

 

I've reproduced the issue you've described and I agree that it appears to be something that SetObjectRight does not do.  In fact I could not find a way to restore Public Access to a node using LAPI.  (This is surprising so I'm probably missing something.)   I'd suggest you open a ticket with support@opentext.com to have this omission confirmed.

 

You can restore Public Access to a node with OScript (call the node's NodeRightRestore method), but I can't think of an easy supported way of performing this from LAPI.
