How can I write file information on the client side to document meta-data?

Hi experts;

I would like to write file path and file date on the client side to the document type's meta data during an import operation. (Because the path contains valuable information that can be used by full-text search)

For example;

if I import "C:\Temp\myfiles\file1.txt" to documentum, I want to write "C:\Temp\myfiles" into (let's say) Title area of my_document object.

I think I need to customize UCF but not sure. I can not find any class member that handles such information in TBO's.

How can I do this? Is there any example of UCF customization on developer network (if UCF customization is the right thing to do)

Best regards.

Johnny: in a webtop environment, set_file is set to the path of the temp file which was transfered to the app server, which is not useful for what he wants to do.

Can you please explain what you are trying to do. I don't think one can write to the client side from the JSP. Also if you write javascript code you are prevented from creating files from your html code. It would be violation of the whole security model if it were allowed.

Hi Harjit;

What I would like to do is completely the opposite of what you understand.

For example;

I have a file "c:\temp\mydoc\file1.txt" on my computer, and I would like to import it to Documentum.

During import operation I want to fetch the local file path (which is : C:\temp\mydoc\ ) and write it to one of the meta-data fields of my document type.

Does this explanation clarifies the issue?

I think I should also clarify that I want to do this using webtop.

Not a DFC program that I wrote or DFS.

Check the value for the set_file attribute for the dmr_content object associated with your document.

Hi;

Yes I checked that field and it is correct. That field handles the file path information. Not the temporary path. (In 6.5 SP2)

There is also a field named "set_time" but it does not handle the file date(creation,modification or access) it handles the time when you put this file into documentum. I would like to ask if you know such an information stored anywhere in documentum?

By the way, I accidentally marked bacham2's answer as the Correct answer, there is no way to take it back. I'm marking your answer as a helpful one.

Regards.

Just tried it with 6.5 SP1 and it works as well. I don't know when this was fixed. I thought that it didn't work at least up to 6.0. In any case, that's good news.

Sorry for the confusion and sorry Johnny!

No worries bacham2. I learn something new every day as well Thats why the Forums are key to learning (and continuing learning) about Documentum.
