Hi All,
I have a new requirement in my project wherein i need to move folders in documentum.
We have applied Retention Policy to the folders.
So is there any way possible where we can make use of dql/dfc coding to work this?
Kindly help.
dql.dfccan be used to move the folders but when actually you would want this action to be called ?
Hi Prabhu,
I want any users who access in Documentum to able to move folder in any cabinet in Documentum.Its not to any specific folder.
Regards,
Priyanka
As long as your users have WRITE permissions and CHANGE LOCATION extended permissions, your users should be able to move folders.
Hi Johny,
You are correct.But the folders are having retention policy.
It is not possible with retention to move folders.
Thanks and Regards,
Priyanka Ithape
We can move folders just fine. You can not move documents that have already place into folders that have retention policy defined.
I am still getting error when i move folder to other folder structure having retention:-
Could not complete the move operation for object '0b00d6da8009b13c'.
[DMC_RETENTION_POLICY]You are tryink to unlink the object 'Review' from a container which is under retention.You do not have sufficient rights to remove retention,therefore you cannot unlink the object from this container.
Hi,
What type of retention policy has been applied to the folder? Moving a folder that has a retainer inherited from it's parent folder can be the equivalent of removing retention from the folder and contained documents you're trying to move. You would then need RM Admin rights.
Do you really want normal users to be able to change retention policies by re-organising folders?
From the 6.7 SP1 RM Admin Guide:
"Moving retained objects (Unlinking objects from a retained folder)
The "Move Retained Objects" functionality makes it possible for non-Retention Managers to relocate
retained records to another folder within the same file plan or to a different plan. Only system
objects (dm_sysobject) that are not folders or light weight sysobjects are supported for this release.
Retention Managers however, can move any retained object including folder types and light weight
sysobjects......... Moving a retained object implies moving any typical record that is not a container type object.
Only those users who are in the Records Manager role can move cabinets, folders, boxes, and so
on. Records, meaning both typical records (electronic or physical documents) and formal records
for example, can be moved."

"You do not have sufficient rights to remove retention,therefore you cannot unlink the object from this container."
- This means the user acct you are using doesnt belong to right role (like riddelin said) or doesnt have right permissions. I just verified that I can move folder from folder1(with ret1) to folder2(with ret2) and since the retention strategy is linked for both ret1 and ret2, the folder gets new ret2 retention applied.
Hi Johnny,
You and riddelln are correct.
We have written a code wherein the user is added in the retention manager role when he performs the move operation.
But this code is for moving documents not folders.
Also it allows users having delete and write access to move documents.
I want only delete access users to move folders/documents.
Please advice.
I have got a similar issue. I have folders under retention and i want to allow the users with only delete access to move the folder. In my case when users try to move the folder they get below error message:
Clipboard paste operation failed. DMC_RECORDS_FOLDER_SECURITY_CHECK Insufficient priveleges to link this folder.
I cannot turn off the security check as it will allow the users with permission less than write access to perform operations like import/checkin/checkout etc.
Also i would like to mention that users with write and delete access are also getting same error.
As far as i know Folder Security check permits the users having write and delete access to perform operations.
Can any one please let me know what can be the reason for this.
Thanks,
Pratik
