Generating custom id for documents

Hi All,

I am new to DFS and Documentum... In one of the requirements for my project I am supposed to generate a custom id(say test_id) for every new forms(instead of r_object_id). The forms will be created from dot net side and hence the coding is to be done in DFS.

I have to generate the test id for every form that is created newly. test_id is to be generated by fetching two of the attributes from the repository.

ex: test_id=prefix_val+current_val

test_id is a custom id and is generated by summing the prefix value with the current value...say if prefix value is TEST and current value is 500 then it should give me the test_id as TEST0000000500(type of test_id is string and its length is set to 13). test_id should also give an exception if the length limit is reached.

Is any one having a similar piece of code to do what is required OR code to generate a session and to query.

Thanks,

Swarup Moulik

Its for creating unique ID for forms builder, but you should be able to use parts of it for DFS.

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for that reply but I could not extract much from that as I am new to documentum and unaware of forms builder. Could you please tell me what piece of code can I take from that link to build a code in dfs? OR if you can provide me some links of releavant codes in dfs it will be a great help...

What about writing a TBO that does this work for you?

Doing that, you will have a type that automatically will fill that code regardless of how it was created (webtop, DA, DFS, DFC)
