DFS and Content

rs199483

Hi Folks,

I have a .NET client(desktop app) that is talking to a server (a separate machine with Documentum Developer Edition 6.5 sp1 installed).  I am able to retrieve documents from the server and add contentless documents to the server.  Now I am trying to add a document with content but I receive an error. "Service method "Create" invocation failed."

This is the code I am using to add content.  I have the ContentTransferMode set to MTOM.

lobjDataObject.Contents.Add(

New Emc.Documentum.FS.DataModel.Core.Content.FileContent(Path.GetFullPath(lobjContent.CurrentPath), lobjContent.FileExtension.Replace(".", "")))

The file I am trying to add, exists on the CLIENT machine.  Is the problem that it is trying to find the file on the server?  If so, how do I code this to work when the file exists on the client?  Some specific examples would be helpful, as I cannot find any to handle this case.Any ideas?Thanks

HI,

You are using the file extension as a content format, it's wrong. For example, the extension "txt" has 2 corresponding content formats:

Mime_Type	Format_Name	Dos_Extension	Description
text/plain	crtext	txt	Text Document (Windows)
text/plain	text	txt	Text Document (Unix)

You should use "crtext" or "text" as content format. For more format-extension mapping, please query the dm_format table.

If its a custom content type that has not been preinstalled to Content Server. You need to add an entry into dm_format table with the admin role.
