Retrieving latest document version using DFS?

Hi everyone,

I'm playing with a WSDL-based DFS at the moment, and I've been succesful in retrieving documents using the object_id. However, I understand that when new versions are added to a document, a new object_id is created for the current version of the document.

Now, using a DRL I understand that by appending "CURRENT" to the URL, even using an older object_id it will retrieve the very latest version of the document.

My question is, how can I retrieve the latest version of the document using DFS, when I only have an older object_id? Is there a parameter I can pass to the method call?

Thanks muchly!

Mal

hi,

Standard DFS ObjectIdentity takes an r_object_id and wuill return exactly what is asked for, even a non-current object.

You could try a Qualification type identity with something like

"dm_document where i_chronicle_id in (select i_chronicle_id from dm_document(all) where r_object_id='09096c3b80001d21')"

to get the current version.

Hi Andy,

Thank you, but may I ask how to assemble an Object Identity that uses such a query? My code looks like the following, but it uses the object_id:

ObjectIdentity objectIdentity = new ObjectIdentity();    

objectIdentity.setRepositoryName(((RepositoryIdentity)
                    serviceContext.getIdentities().get(0)).getRepositoryName());
            
ObjectId objId = new ObjectId();
objId.setId("09de75d180003541");
            
            
objectIdentity.setObjectId(objId);
objectIdentity.setValueType(ObjectIdentityType.OBJECT_ID);
            
ObjectIdentitySet objectIdentitySet = new ObjectIdentitySet();
objectIdentitySet.getIdentities().add(objectIdentity);

Sincerely,

Mal

try something like

ObjectIdentity objectIdentity = new ObjectIdentity(new Qualification(qualificationString), repository);
ObjectIdentitySet objectIdSet = new ObjectIdentitySet(objectIdentity);

It's all documented in the SDK manuals and the above lines are taken from the SDK samples
