2.6 Editing Dates

For content, versions and folders, different dates are stored in the database. You can access the dates via the CoreMedia APIs, for example with Content.getCreationDate() with the Unified API.

The different dates have sometimes different meanings on the three Content Server instances. Table 2.8, “ Different state dates ” lists the different dates and describes the meaning of each date on each Content Server type.

Date Content Management Server (CMS) Master Live Server (MLS) Replication Live Server (RLS)

creationDate

The date when the content or folder has been created.

The date when the content or folder has been published to the MLS for the first time.

The date when the content or folder has been replicated to the RLS for the first time. If the RLS is set up by initial replication, it may differ significantly from the date on the MLS.

modificationDate

The modificationDate is different for each individual server. It is the date of the last change of a content item, that is, for example, version updates, renames, moves.

editionDate

The date of the creation of the last version on the CMS. A folder has no editionDate.

The date of the creation of the last version on the MLS. Since renames or moves do not generate new versions, the editionDate can become significantly different from the publicationDate, when renames or moves have been published.

The editionDate is replicated from the MLS to all RLS. Therefore, the editionDate is the same on MLS and all RLS.

publicationDate

The publicationDate is changed, whenever a version, a move or a rename is published. Since renames or moves do not generate new versions, the editionDate on the MLS can become significantly different from the publicationDate, when renames or moves have been published.

No publicationDate

No publication date
