This Post is regarding the The Documents that are imported for the first time in Documentum with red mark against it or in the midst of somewhere will have red mark as if the Document is not having web safe rendition. The Document can have following color appear against it after being imported or created in documentum
Red: Document is not in web safe rendition and Documentum may not allow to [erform any operations on it like Promote, expire, etc.

The Document may not be in web safe rendition as particular format may not be made available in the set of file formats and web safe file formats in the Web Publisher Administration -> File Formats. Adding specific format in it for the document type being imported causes the document to be in web safe rendition. For example, for MS Word Document, the valid file format in the Documentum is msw8.

The case may happen that file format being already set in available file formats and web safe rendition file formats in Web Publisher Administration and still the user may face the problem of Document not being in web safe rendition. For Example, this case may happen with xml file, which is by default web safe rendition in Documentum. Carry out the folowing steps to make such document in the web safe rendition in Documentum Webpublisher.
1. Export the Document which is not web safe rendition to the local file system.
2. Select the Document and in View Menu Select Renditions.
3. Open File -> New -> Create new Rendition -> Import Rendition
4. Select the document imported in the local file system.
5. Set the rendition type as "Publishable XML Type"
6. This will make the Document in step to be web safe rendition (with Green Mark).

Hope these steps help resolving the Problem.
