How to edit modified and modifier properties in Alfresco using Java

Question

I am trying to set the modifier and modified properties with the custom values in Alfresco using java webscript. I am using the below code for achieving this:

try{

    behaviourFilter.disableBehaviour(mainNodeRef, ContentModel.ASPECT_AUDITABLE);

    serviceRegistry.getNodeService().setProperty(mainNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_MODIFIED, migValuesVO.getModified());
    serviceRegistry.getNodeService().setProperty(mainNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_MODIFIER, migValuesVO.getModifier());

}

finally{
    behaviourFilter.enableBehaviour(mainNodeRef, ContentModel.ASPECT_AUDITABLE);
}

This code is working properly in Alfresco community version. This code is not setting the values I have passed to the modifier and modified when I run it in Alfresco enterprise version.

Please help me on how to set the custom values to modifier and modified properties in Alfresco.

When you're testing your code with Alfresco CE, have you logged in as admin user and when you're testing your code with Alfresco Enterprise, you logged in as non-admin user?

Run your code with elevated privileges like runAsSystem or runAs Admin user like below.

AuthenticationUtil.runAs(new RunAsWork<Void>() {
    @Override
    public Void doWork() throws Exception {
       try{
            behaviourFilter.disableBehaviour(mainNodeRef, ContentModel.ASPECT_AUDITABLE);
            serviceRegistry.getNodeService().setProperty(mainNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_MODIFIED, migValuesVO.getModified());
            serviceRegistry.getNodeService().setProperty(mainNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_MODIFIER, migValuesVO.getModifier());
        }
        finally{
            behaviourFilter.enableBehaviour(mainNodeRef, ContentModel.ASPECT_AUDITABLE);
        }
      return null;
    }
  }, ADMIN_USER_NAME);

Note, the above code not tested.

Hope this helps you.

I am executing the webscript using runAsSystem in both CE and enterprise versions of Alfresco and still facing this issue Murali. — Santhosh, Oct 20 '17 at 06:48
