AddDocumentReference parameter incorrect

Hi,

I've got a situation where I am basically associating a document with a folder by using the IManDocuments.AddDocumentReference(IManDocument doc) method.

For some documents this works fine.
However for other documents I get this error:
[DocumentContents][AddDocumentReference]The parameter is incorrect.

Has anyone ever come accross this before, or know how to diagnose the problem?

Cheers,
Bob1.

I've tried associating new documents using AddDocumentReference and still getting the same error. Also I've tried associating an existing document using AddDocumentReference and still the same result.

I've mocked up a very simple example but still no go.

// Get existing document
IManDocument document = DmsHelper.GetDmsDocument(3003207, 1);

// Get existing folder
IManDocumentFolder documentFolder = DmsHelper.GetAssociatedFolder("AEP82008");

IManDocuments contents = (IManDocuments) documentFolder.Contents;
contents.AddDocumentReference(document); => Exception gets thrown here
documentFolder.Update();

Is there anyway I can obtain any more information about the error I am getting?

That error can happen if your document and folder are from different databases.

I've changed it a bit so it takes into account the same database condition. However that error is still coming up. Upon debugging I found out that the document and folder both belong to the "DocAuto" database. If I need to log this with Interwoven to diagnose the problem where abouts can I do this?

Thanks.

// Move document from one folder to another:
IManDocument document = DmsHelper.GetDmsDocument(3003207, 1);
IManDocumentFolder documentFolder = DmsHelper.GetAssociatedFolder("AEP82008");

// Find out what databases they come from
string documentDatabase = document.Database.Name;
string folderDatabase = documentFolder.Database.Name;

if (documentDatabase == folderDatabase)
{
IManDocuments contents = (IManDocuments) documentFolder.Contents;
contents.AddDocumentReference(document);
documentFolder.Update();
}

Arrh finally found the problem.

Cheers Jny! When you said that the document and the folder cannot come from different databases. It occurred to me that I was using a helper class which basically used the same database physically however there would have been 2 connection type of objects to the database which probably was causing the problem (instantiating the IManDatabase twice).

So I chucked all the code in one big code block without helper classes and it worked! Stoked.
