DFS ObjectService Documentum

mattslater1980

Hi ,

We deployed the core DFS Services to provide Create,Read ,update and Delete functionalities.

The client .Net applications started to build consumer clients using ObjectService and QueryService to upload ,update metadata and delete and it works fine.

Now the client application has come up with a requirement which has got me thinking.

1. Client application use DFS objectService to upload Document with a objectType project_doc.This project_doc has attributes such as project_code, project_name,project_owner. This was keyed in manually till now from the client application

2. We have a master Project repository which is in oracle which records all the ongoing projects in the company.

3. Now the new requirement is the client application will upload Document of type project_doc and feed in only the project_code. We need to automatically populate the rest of the attribute values from the master Project repository and upload it in Documentum,

This has got me in a fix because i have used only the out of the box services until now .

Has anyone encountered this kind of scenario before.

Any hints or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

well.. in this case, you can write a custom service ....

OR

You can set the remaining attributes through TBO. Whenever project_doc is saved read the project_code, query the DB and set the remaining attirbute values.

And, set the remaing attribute values, only when project_code is dirty .... to avoid setting all attribtues for every save
