Alert on KM Document Expiry

[Former Member]

Hi Forum,

I have enabled "Time Dependent Publishing" on a KM folder and i have set Valid from and Valid Until (lifetime) for the documents in it. When the Valid Until (expiry date and time) is reached for a document it is not visible to the users having only read permission to that folder. Upto this it is fine.

Now, my problem is i want to trigger an alert (into UWL of specific user) or send an automatic email, Just before the document is going to be expired. Any one gone through such requirement ? Please help me in finding way to bring this functionality or kindly let me know if there is any work around.

Regards

Hi,

how about developing a KM Scheduler Task that runs every night and looks for documents that will expire the next day (or in 2 days time), then it sends an email or triggers an alert in the UWL of the creator.

Hi Goncalves,

Thanks for your response. Is there not any other means of achieving this with configuration settings ? Could you give some basic idea on which KM APIs should be implemented and any basic code. I haven't done any KM developments so far and only worked on configurations. Would be a great help if you can give me the clear steps what should be done ?

full points are guaranteed on any helpful answer.
