Problem summary

• If a custom workflow action is executed after a scheduled move a
  and the custom workflow action has modified a document before it
  returned the rollback directive, then the changes made before th
  rollback are saved.
  

Problem conclusion

• Analysis: This error was caused by two internal defects. (1) The
  ContentService save and update routines weren't halting the save
  current document if the 'internal preparation to save' routine r
  errors. (2) The ScheduledAction class wasn't correctly restoring
  current document after a failure, which meant that the 'internal
  preparation to save' routine was working against the wrong versi
  the document.
  
  Solution: The ContentService save and update methods were modifi
  check for returned errors and if so will throw a
  CompositeRepositoryException (like the rest of the code). The
  ScheduledAction class was also modified to restore the current d
  if the current scheduled action fails, so the notifySave routine
  can work against the correct version of the document.
  

Temporary fix
