Cause When the domain of the knowledge article containing the attachments is changed, the domain of the attachments will be the same as the previous domain.

As the domain of the article and the attachment is different, the users will not be able to see the articles when the user searches for those articles from knowledge homepage

Resolution In order to resolve the issue, the user has to manually change the domain of the attachments too. The customers can use the following script to change the domain of the attachments whose domain is different than knowledge article.

var att = new GlideMultipleUpdate('sys_attachment'); att.addQuery('table_name', 'kb_knowledge'); att.addQuery('sys_domain', 'OLD_DOMAIN_SYS_ID') att.setValue('sys_domain', 'NEW_DOMAIN_SYS_ID_'); att.execute();

This script will move the attachments to the new domain.

If the user wants to change the domain of the article, make sure to change the domain of the attachments as well using a business rule.
