Problem with restoring a user that has been already deleted

To whom it may concern,

I'm having trouble with restoring a deleted user in Java.

What I'm trying to do is as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MemberService_Service memberService = new MemberService_Service();
MemberService memberClient = memberService.getBasicHttpBindingMemberService();

public void restoreUser(long userId) {
       User deletedUser = (User) memberClient.getMemberById(userId);
       deletedUser.setDeleted(false);
       memberClient.updateMember(deletedUser);
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After excuting the code above, console says succeeded but the user doesn't get updated and is still deleted.

I mean KUAF.deleted column still shows "1"(deleted).

Is there any way to update KUAF.deleted from "1" to "0" by CWS API? Any tip would be appreciated.

No, as you cannot undelete a user in the UI either.

Deleting a user does a number of things that are not reversible, so undeleting the user by tweaking the “Deleted” property would not restore the user to its original state in the system.

A while back a user in KB wanted to do something similar. I ran at that time some calculations on how things change in Livelink. Perhaps it will help the OP.

Perhaps these kinds of requests are more mired in an organization where some best practices such as simple to achieve things are not practiced.

For e.g, a user deletion will not be problematic in an organization if

There's a simple organization document that says UserA Department is this, UserA also belongs to X number of Groups(in OT parlance the community model). the addition of people in ore groups brings up indirect. A join between KUAF and KUAFChildren is what maintains that hierarchy. The Groups on ACL's give the user the ability to get somewhere and so somethings.

Now this will probably lead to practical difficulties such as WF steps, task assignment etc that was given to the original(deleted ) user, If so re-assign it if its large script it. Use groups when possible

I also thought with OTDS OT was toying with the idea of a recycle bin of sorts for a user. Tools such as the Fastman permission manager makes it a breeze to undo your mistakes.
