DFS Checkout and view

Hi All,

I am invoking the dfs service from standard Java call. I want to checkout the document and after checking it out the document should get opened for editing purposes as default operation of Edit.

I have written following code. Following code checks out the document succefully but dosen't open the document for editing. Please sugest the way out here!

ObjectIdentitySet objIdSet =

new ObjectIdentitySet(); objIdSet.getIdentities().add(objIdentity);

OperationOptions operationOptions =

new OperationOptions(); ContentProfile contentProfile =

new ContentProfile(FormatFilter.ANY, null, PageFilter.ANY, -1, PageModifierFilter.ANY, null); contentProfile.setPostTransferAction(

"dfs:edit"); operationOptions.setContentProfile(contentProfile);

operationOptions.setProfile(contentProfile);

resultDp =

versionControlService.checkout(objIdSet, operationOptions);

Regards,Nilesh

contentProfile.setPostTransferAction("dfs:edit"); only works if you are using UCF as it relies on UCF to do the client side editor launch.

Are you using UCF to transfer the file from the server down to the actual target client?

And this does require a client with the editing application such as a Windows PC with MS Word for a .doc file etc.

I do note however that you don't seem to have specified a content transfer mode here as per

contentProfile.setTransferMode(ContentTransferMode.UCF);

without which I don't believe DFS will get content for the client.

Thanks for the reply now I am able to open the document automatically after checkout but document opens in read only mode. I have mentioned the option contentProfile.setPostTransferAction("dfs:edit"); but still why it dosent open for editing and opens only as read only ??

The opening of a document at the client will be dependant on the client machine configuration.

What type of document are you trying to open? what application do you expect it to open in and what does it open in?

If it is a windows client the applications for edit & view are defined by the operating system.

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue when running dfs:edit on a Microsoft Office Word 2003 document; the file opens in read-only mode.

However, when opening the same file in webtop, it opens in edit mode.

Will these types of files require configuration on the client machines?
