  syndication.
  

Local fix

• RESAVE the content on the syndicator.
  

Problem summary

• API METHOD FINDBYNAME DOES NOT RETURN EXPECTED RESULTS AFTER
  SYNDICATION.
  .
  Under certain circumstances when content is syndicated to the
  subscriber it is first created/stored using the UUID instead of
  the name.  Content items are then renamed later in the
  syndication process.  These content items may not be returned by
  the findByName method.
  STEPS:
  1) Customer created content with custom coded UI that created
  the content as follows:
       When content is beeing updated (let's say content name is
  "content1"),
       New draft is created ("content2").
       Then old content is renamed to "content1temp"
       New draft is renamed to "content1" and published.
       Then "content1temp" is archived.
  2) When this data is syndicated it is given the UUID as its name
  upon initial syndication.  Therefore, the label is also the
  UUID.

  Setting 'icm:label' = 017478004d9ca78fa92ce9c0e26b6f9c
  .
  3) Later the content is renamed to the appropriate name
  "content1" but the rename method of the Content Service does not
  update the label appropriately upon rename.

  draft=false
  

Problem conclusion

• Under certain circumstances when content is syndicated to the
  subscriber it is first created/stored using the UUID instead of
  the name.  This results in the contents internal label also
  being sent to the UUID.

  Setting 'ibmcontentwcm:name' = 017478004d9ca78fa92ce9c0e26b6f9c
       3.4.2009 22:33:47:585 EEST  00001b21 IdentityContr 3
  Setting 'icm:label' = 017478004d9ca78fa92ce9c0e26b6f9c
  Later the content is renamed to the correct name but the label
  is never updated.  Then when findByName is used to search for
  content with the correct name it fails because the internal
  label used for this method is still set to the items UUID.
  .
  This fix results in the correct label when the content is
  renamed.
