Issue

  • The web content is not published based on the scheduled date and time. 
  • Concern about the behavior to check how it works
  • Steps to reproduce:
    • Started the DXP 7.0 vanilla bundle
    • Create new web content by providing the title, fill the content field
    • Under the schedule session, fill the display and expiration date and time.
    • Save and publish it
    • Add the scheduled content on the page
    • Observed behavior: Everything works fine till here. In the page, it shows the published web content for the admin user with the message like "Web content S1 is scheduled and will be displayed on XX/XX/XX 5:45 PM." in the de-active state. As a guest user, this content is not visible. 
    • Test result: When checking at the scheduled time, still, this content is not getting displayed or not visible

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0 

Resolution

  • For testing the behavior how it works with the scheduled content, increase the log level [Navigate to Control panel/ Configuration/ Server administration/ Log levels/ Add category]  by adding the below category to observe the process of it.
     
    com.liferay.journal.service.impl.JournalArticleLocalServiceImpl
    • After setting the log level, the debug info looks like below example log:

  • Configuration at the portal level, 
    • As per the document, please ensure you have modified the configuration
    • For example, The below steps followed to test the behavior
      • The time zone of the server, Liferay, and the user's PC should be set correctly. 
        • Instance settings: updated the Time Zone as IST for testing purpose
        • Account settings of the user: updated the Time Zone as IST for testing purpose
      • System settings/ web content: Check interval: updated to 60000
      • System settings/ web content Administration: Check interval: updated to 1
  • Observed behavior:
    • Display time: There may be a little delay with a few seconds and the schedule web contents get displayed on the page.
    • Expired time: There is no delay here. It's expired perfectly.
    • Note: There is one slight difference in how the functionality expires and publish works. Expiration uses that 60.000 ms interval to look ahead, while publication will not. So little[few seconds] delays in publishing content can be valid, the expiration will not delay as long as the minute based check interval is smaller than the milliseconds based on.
