IJ35310: DOCLINK UNC TYPE DOCUMENT DOES NOT GET ADDED TO THE LIBRARY

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  Doclink is not added to Library even if File name and extension
  are in the 'Specify a file' field
  
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When adding new file in Manage Library, Clicking Add file, then
  Select Folder, then select file from shared file location, the
  files is entered into the field. Then you can name the Library
  entry, and a description all is good to this point.
  The issue comes when un-checking the "Copy document to the
  default location set by your administrator(recommended)?"
  Once that box is unchecked, the selected file and the Select
  file button go away, and a Specify File field opens, and will
  not create the Library entry regardless of what is put in that
  field. The real problem is that the UNC type document does not
  get added to the library.
  
  As per Development : The fix is already done in 7613. The fix
  file is AddDocBean.java
  
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  Open Maximo as maxadmin
  
  Go to Asset app
  
  From the More Actions side menu, go to Attachment
  Library/Folders > Manage Library
  
  Click on Add a Document to the Library > Add New File
  
  First of all, UNcheck the "Copy document to the default
  location set by your administrator (recommended)?" checkbox
  
  This will make the Browse button disappear and you will see the
  Specify a File field, where you can enter the exact location of
  the file you want to upload.
  
  Enter a valid value like C:\TEST\test.jpg in the Specify a file
  field. (we assume the file actually exists)
  Enter valid values to Name the document
  
  Click OK
  
  Although you specified the full path to the file, including the
  file name and extension into the 'Specify a file' field, the
  file is not added to the Library. (The same thing happens when
  you add an Attachment to the record, instead of the Library)
  
  Customer reported this worked in previous versions of Maximo.
  
  CURRENT ERRONEOUS RESULT:
  Doclink is not added to Library even if File name and extension
  are in the 'Specify a file' field
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Doclink is added to Library with the File name and extension
  that are in the 'Specify a file' field
