Enabling custom attributes

Justin_obs

Hi,

I am working on an app that uses an Interwoven DB. I am using worksite version 8.2 and the imanage dll.

In intellisense i can access custom attributes from 1 to 31. 1,3 and 8 have already been implemented. I would like to access some of the others to store application based document metadata data but when i run my code i get a null refference exception when accessing imProfileCustom16, for example.

If i loop through the custom attributes collection on a document I can only see the original three.

I need to enable the remaining attributes. can you please advise how i do this (I do not have access to the imanadmin dll).

Any additional advice on managing free text document meta data in code (e.g. custom attributes) would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Justin

Hi Justin, I'm not sure, but I think that you have to use imanadmin.dll for managing customs from the database.

We have had problems to manage custom1 and custom2 and I remember,not 100% sure, that this was due to we weren't using imanadmin.dll.

Hope it helps
