Revision History Disappears from the Posting Revision Report (815133)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Commerce Server 2002

SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) permits you to revise old content for any page. When you modify a page, an archived version of the page is created. You can preview the old version later by checking the page's revision history. When MCMS Background Processing runs, it deletes all revisions of all pages except the last one.

Note The MCMS background process is fired through a Microsoft SQL Server job in the SQL Server agent. It is created when the MCMS database is installed. For more information, see the MCMS documentation.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem temporarily, turn off the SQL Server background process job. Microsoft does not recommend this as a long term solution. Only do this as an interim workaround.
