Urgent .... DFS - checkout and checkin

Hi All,

I have working DFS code in dotnet where we are succesfully able to checkout the document from repository to client machine. Also checkin operation working fine as checkin the documents from client machine. For this we have kept the content transfer profile as UCF.

Now as given in development guide of DFS we need to set JAVA_HOME variable in client location for ucf operations to work. Which is causing me to not to use UCF as this variable need to be present in all end users machine which might not possible.

So is it possible to have files checkd out on client machine or check-in from client machine using MTOM or base64? (I tried setting content transfer profile as MTOM/base64 but was not checkin out the file in client machine)

Can any body share the piece of code?

Regards,

Nilesh.

You need to check the content type in the checkedout DataObject.getContents() collection. Normally, if ACS is enabled, the content type is UrlContent, where the url is for the content stream. If ACS is disabled, the content type is DataHandlerContent (for MTOM), where the content binary is in SOAP attachment.

In both conditions, you need to call Content.getAsFile() to save it as a file in you client machine.

Alternately, you can set ContentProfile.ContentReturnType="FileContent" to specify the return type.

It is possible to checkout/checkin content through MTOM or BASE64. I recommend you to set ContentTransferMode in ServiceContext, instead of OperationOptions.

Here's a .NET sample.

 ContextFactory contextFactory = ContextFactory.Instance; context = contextFactory.NewContext(); RepositoryIdentity repoId = new RepositoryIdentity(); repoId.RepositoryName = repos; repoId.UserName = user; repoId.Password = pswd; context.AddIdentity(repoId);
 ContentTransferProfile profile = new ContentTransferProfile(); profile.TransferMode = ContentTransferMode.MTOM; context.SetProfile(profile);

 String addr = "http://servehost:port/services"; IObjectService obj_service =     ServiceFactory.Instance.GetRemoteService<IObjectService>(context, "core", addr);

Hi William,

My requirement is to checkout the file on client machine. I am setting the transfer profile to both service context also and operations also. Using MTOM and base64 I can checkout/checkin but the file does not get check out on client machine it gets checkout in dfc application server. I want file to be checkout in client's machine not in application server machine.

following is the code I am trying by which I can checkout but it is not checking out in client's machine.

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

ContentTransferProfile transferProfile = new ContentTransferProfile(); transferProfile.setGeolocation("Pleasanton"); transferProfile.setTransferMode(ContentTransferMode.MTOM); serviceContext.setProfile(transferProfile); // setting the transfer profile to Service contextOperationOptions operationOptions = new OperationOptions(); ContentProfile contentProfile = new ContentProfile(); contentProfile.setFormatFilter(FormatFilter.ANY); // contentProfile.setPostTransferAction("dfs:view"); operationOptions.setContentProfile(contentProfile);

operationOptions.setProfile(transferProfile);

resultDp = versionControlService.checkout(objIdSet, operationOptions);

Above code succefully checouts the file in but not on to client machine. Do we have to do any other settings or configurations?

Thanks,

Nilesh
