Open child DCR in edit mode from parent DCR

Hi,
I will devide my requirement in two part.
I)
To give functionality to user so author can directly open that new dcr in edit mode by single click in opened(parent) dcr without traversing to workarea and do regular activity.--- this functionality is achieved.

II)
To edit child dcr by single click in parent dcr. How can we get child dcr name in parent dcr?

If any one has idea about this please reply to me...

Thanks

Are you directly showing the child dcr in edit mode by clicking on button in parent dcr ?
or, are you showing some other cgi screen, which directs user to the child dcr ?

Please mention TS and OS versions.

Are you storing the relationship between the parent the child DCR? If you are then where?
How are you opening the new child DCR from the parent DCR?

#1 is not a problem with the use of CC URL edit.

#2 - you did not provide enough information for us to help.

Parent/Child DCR relation is your own customization, there is nothing like it in OOTB TS. To maintain it you can
in theory use naming conventions, configuration File(s), Link DCR(s), External Attributes, Database Tables and whatnot.
Depending on what you do you may (or may not) be able to build Child's Full Path in FormAPI, locally or with the use
of callServer

yes i am using "CC URL new form" option to create child dcr from parent dcr .But after saving child dcr ,i want to pass child dcr name to parent dcr .Use this value to edit child dcr from parent dcr without traversing to workarea and do regular activity..
Is there any call back function to pass child dcr name to parent dcr ?

There isin't any such callback function. If you just want to save the child dcr name in your parent dcr, then how can you edit the child dcr next time from parent dcr.
However, you can save the path of the child dcr in your parent dcr, and again call it on edit. If you use cgi-callout for this purpose, then you can manipulate the parent items within that.

If the name of the child DCR can be programmatically determined based on either the name of, or value of fields within, the parent DCR - then you should be able to set up a onCallout handler in the parent DCR that sets the path / name of the child DCR within the parent before calling the new DCR CCI URL on it.

Actually, I did something like this not too long ago - but used a callServer() script to actually create a virtually empty child DCR based on the name of the parent DCR - and then called the Edit DCR CCI URL instead of the New DCR CCI URL - If the child name was already set within the parent - I just called the Edit function on it without re-creating the child.

Wasn't that difficult as I recall - especially since the name of the child could be programmatically determined by the name of the parent.
