Imported document type

I have written code to import arbitrary documents (email attachments) to iManage from another application, and see the GetDocumentTypeFromPath() method as the best way to set the document type correctly. I am using an IManFileSaveCmd to do the import, and that seems fine. But when I add something along these lines...


Dim DocType as IManDocumentType

Set DocType = pSession.PreferredDatabase.GetDocumentTypeFromPath(FileName)

.. this line fails with the error "Error -1073741819 [NRTDatabase ][GetDocumentTypeFromPath ]Access is denied"

I have confirmed that the document does exist, and have given "Everyone" full rights on the document and its containing folder. Also tried it with a couple of document types, with the same results.

Perhaps IManage complaining about access to something other that the file itself ? Where else should I look ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Try using a different database object other than the PreferredDatabase, for example, if you know what the database is that you want to import the document into, or if you have the same type detection parameters set up on all databases (recommended), then

Dim tDatabase as iManDatabase
Set tDatabase = pSession.Databases(1)
Set DocType = tDatabase.GetDocumentTypeFromPath(FileName)
...
Set tDatabase = Nothing

What is in your filename var? What happens when you put the actual file path in the argumen?

I am experiencing the same problem - this is the error I am seeing:

iManage.NRTDMS.2 [NRTDatabase ][GetDocumentTypeFromPath ]Access is denied.
at IManage.IManDatabase.GetDocumentTypeFromPath(String DocumentPath)

What is the file type?

I have tried this with Word, Excel, Outloook, and Text files - they all report "Access is Denied" - yet the import works fine if I skip the auto-dection and specify a doc-type based upon the extension, or other clues.

Try it using an NRTDocumentType object instead of iManDocumentType.

I finally figured this out - by using all NRT objects - when I mixed a iMan... Object / Type this fails. here is some C# code that I was eventually able to figure this out with

Start:
Console.Write("Please enter a file [full path]:");
string path = Console.ReadLine();
if (File.Exists(path))
{
IManage.NRTDMS dms = new IManage.NRTDMSClass();
IManage.INRTSession session = dms.Sessions.Add("", null, null);
try
{
session.Login("", "?????????");
IManage.INRTDatabase db = session.Databases.Item(1);
IManage.NRTDocumentType aType = db.GetDocumentTypeFromPath(path);
Console.WriteLine(
string.Format("The Type is {0} ({1})", aType.Name, aType.Description));
Console.Read();
}
catch
{
session.Logout();
dms.CloseApplication();
}
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("That path does not exist. Retry [Y/N]?");
ConsoleKeyInfo response = Console.ReadKey(true);
if (response.KeyChar == 'Y')
goto Start;
}
