Have you tested it?

If the answer to all the above questions is "yes" - then it's okay. If any of the answers is "no", then you still have more work to do...

Hi All,

I found another way to do this. If the DCR is an exsiting one there is metadata attached to it. Then we can check for that.
If meta data not available that means it is a

IWDCRInfo.getStatus() = IWDCRInfo.AVAILABLE

that means an existing DCR. then disable fields.

Even it can be done by checking whether a name has been specified to a DCR or not. If not, it is a new DCR, else it must be an existing one.
