&documentPath=/Finance/Reports/Q1-2024-Report.pdf

SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:RemoveExpirationDate>
      <tns:authenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:authenticationTicket>
      <tns:documentPath>/Finance/Reports/Q1-2024-Report.pdf</tns:documentPath>
    </tns:RemoveExpirationDate>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Notes

  • Removing the expiration date also clears any associated notification schedule (the notify-before-days value and notification agent are both reset).
  • If the document does not currently have an expiration date, the call completes successfully with no changes made.
  • Shortcut documents (.LNK) that have an expiration date set cannot have it removed via this API; the call returns an error. Shortcut expiration dates must be managed through the parent document.
  • Document subscribers are not notified when an expiration date is removed (notifications are only sent when a new expiration date is applied).
  • Use SetExpirationDate to apply or update an expiration date with optional advance notification.
  • Use GetDocument to inspect the current ExpirationDate attribute of a document before calling this API.
  • SetExpirationDate - Apply an expiration date to a document, optionally with advance notification
  • GetDocument - Get document properties including the current ExpirationDate
