SYMPTOMS

After you make changes to a Visio document that is contained in an ODMA Document Management System (DMS), your changes may not be saved after you try to save the changes back to the current document.

This problem occurs in Visio when is managed by a Document Management System (DMS) that uses Open Document Management APIs (ODMA). Visio notifies the DMS of a user's "Save As" request from the Visio File menu. The DMS is tasked with prompting the user for Save As information such as the new file name. If the DMS reports back to Visio to change the Save As operation to a normal Save to save the document to its current file location, Visio notifies the DMS that the document was saved without actually saving the document. When Visio is managed by a Document Management System, the Save As function causes Visio to call the ODMSaveAs API that prompts the DMS to report back to Visio instructions for saving the document. These instructions are communicated back to Visio through the ODMSaveAs arguments. If the DMS sets the NewDocID argument to an empty string, it instructs Visio to save the document to its current file location. Visio follows up as expected by calling the ODMSaveDoc API to inform the DMS that the document was saved. However Visio does not actually save the document.
