how to get multiples versioninfo of the same object using DFS

Hello,

I am using the Java DFS productivity layer and trying to discover all versions for one object.I tried using

IVersionControlService.getVersionInfo(ObjectIdentitySet objectIdentitySe) method, the identityset contains one ObjectIdentity with token_id associate to a version of the object.. This object suppose to have 7 versions, this is confirmed, however, it only returns the version of this version of the object, but not the rest versions.

anyone has any idea? do I need to populate the identityset with all identites for all versions? or how do I discover the complete identityset for this object?

thanks,

Miles

Hi Miles,

You can not get all versions by inputting a single identity through DFS VersionControlService.

Alternately, you can use DQL to get all versions (but with limitations). A sample DQL statement is:

SELECT * FROM dm_document (ALL) WHERE i_chronicle_id IN (SELECT i_chronicle_id FROM dm_document (ALL) WHERE r_object_id='%s')

The %s could be any revision id.

Hello William,

Thank you for the suggestion. Could you elaborate about the limitations of this DQL approach? alternatively, what is the most effective way to retrieve all versions?

thanks,
