update r_object_type

I have 3 custom object types: Type A is supetype(It inherits dm_document). Type B and Type C are subtypes of Type A. Both has its custom properties. I need to move documents from Type C to type B without losing any metadata.

Now what I understand is Type B and Type C are at same level in object tree, so direct move is not possible. So my options are either move Type C to Type A and then to Type B. OR I can create some temp object type and use that instead Type A. What would be more feasible?

Also, change Object DQL would change the r_object_type. How Do U move metadata from specific type to other. Can anybody provide sample DQL for that?

Thanks,

Priyanka

Please consider moving this question as-is (no need to recreate) to the proper forum for maximum visibility. Questions written to the users' own "Discussions" space don't get the same amount of attention and can go unanswered for a long time.

You can do so by selecting "Move" under ACTIONS along the upper-right. Then search for: "Documentum" and select the very first result that comes up. This will relocate it to the Developer Network subspace of the Documentum community.

Hello @priyanka_l,

It is possible to use CHANGE OBJECT with DQL only to change an object from One Type to one of it sub or super type.

In your case, you have to change Type B to Type A then to Type C.

In this case, you will keep all herited attribute (all attribute from Type A). You just have to cpy specific attributes from Type B to Type C. We use, few months ago, MongoDB to copy specific attributes, then change object and Paste specific attributes.

Good Luck,

Julien
