Does DFC CopyOperation work between repositories?

Hi,

Does anyone knows for sure whether the DFC CopyOperation should work across different docbases or not?

I have tried to search for this topic, but the answers were not clear and even contradictory.

I would like to copy documents from one repository to another by using DFC. I tried to use DfCopyOperation, but got the following error.


Cannot make copy of the document 'Migration Test 01'. - 1015
[DM_API_E_EXIST]error:  "Store specified by filestore_02 does not exist." - DM_API_E_EXIST - 256

Below is the code snippet I used.


            IDfSysObject srcDoc = (IDfSysObject)sessionSource.getObject(new DfId(SOURCE_DOCUMENT_ID));

            IDfFolder targetFolder = sessionTarget.getFolderByPath(TARGET_FOLDER_PATH);
            IDfId targetFolderId = targetFolder.getObjectId();
            IDfCopyOperation copyOperation = (new DfClientX()).getCopyOperation();
            copyOperation.setSession(sessionTarget);
            copyOperation.setDestinationFolderId(targetFolderId);
            copyOperation.add(srcDoc);
            boolean copyResult = copyOperation.execute();

            System.out.println("Copy result: " + copyResult);

The user credentials are the same in both the source and target repositories. Both repositories are accessible for the code.

Thank you in advance!

Yes it is supported. You can try this out using Webtop and connecting to multiple repositories at once.

I presume that object type definition exists in both repositories. If so, then the error would suggest that the filestore must be the same from source and target repository in order to perform repository copy.

Yes, the same object type is present in both repositories. The filestore might be different. So it works only in the same filestore? I guess in this case, we should re-create the documents step by step (session.newObject(...)).

If you use newObject(), then you will need to manually copy over all the attribute values. What version of DFC are you using? This might be a bug with older DFC.

Yes, it is a lot more work in the manual way... would be good if we could avoid. We are using DFC version 6.7.SP2 with content server version 7.2.

I presume you are using custom DFC app. If so, have you tried using DFC 7.2?

I have done something similar a while back. Follow this link, it may give you some insight.

Comment out the following line and try:


copyOperation.setSession(sessionTarget);
