Error description

  • Due to a defect in the database abandoned content cleanup code,
    content loss may randomly occur on add or check-in operations to
    your database storage area if you use duplicate suppression with
    database content storage.
    
    You will know that data loss has occurred if "Cannot find the
    content element" exceptions appear in your P8 logs, listing
    element names that start with "T", after clients attempt to
    access the missing content:

Local fix

  • To temporarily work around this problem, disable the abandoned
    database cleanup process.  Set these parameters to high values,
    then restart the Content Engine JVM:
    Abandoned DB Content Cleanup Interval = 31356000 (1 year)
    Temporary Database Content = 630720000 (20 years)
