APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
For some documents, the MIME type is either too general or is not detected correctly, reducing the effectiveness of the MIME type filter. For example, files from Microsoft Office 2007 and later (.xlsx, .xlsm, .docx, etc) are detected as either application/octet-stream or application/x-zip-compressed in the browser, which is incorrect or too general.

Problem summary
No additional information is available.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.0.1.3 and 8.5.0.1 that introduces additional functionality to the product with the use of a server-side configuration option that allows an optional whitelist of file extensions to be specified in addition to the optional whitelist of MIME-types. Only extensions in the file extension list may be uploaded. The following example is a sample configuration of the new option, which you can configure in the 100Custom.xml file: <server> <!-- extension white list which specifies extensions accepted for --> <!-- upload to document list or document attachment --> <document-attachment-accepted-extensions> <!-- specifies whether to allow a document with no extension for upload --> <allow-null-extension>false</allow-null-extension> <!-- lists the extensions allowed for upload --> <extension>xlsx</extension> <extension>docx</extension> </document-attachment-accepted-extensions> </server> Note: If the whitelist of MIME-types is configured in addition to the whitelist of file extensions, documents that match either of the whitelists (MIME-types or extensions) may be uploaded. On Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral), search for JR53458: 1. Select IBM Business Process Manager with your edition from the product selector, the installed version to the fix pack level, and your platform, and then click Continue. 2. Select APAR or SPR, enter JR53458, and click Continue. When you download fix packages, ensure that you also download the readme file for each fix. Review each readme file for additional installation instructions and information about the fix.
