Message from Sathya Saravanan via eLinkLivelink 9.1 has both the XMLExport and XMLImport functions available thruLAPI. You can use these functions to export all the data (DAPINode,Permissions, Category Info) for specific LL folder contents.-----Original Message-----From: knowledge@opentext.com [mailto:knowledge@opentext.com]On Behalf OfeLink Discussion: LAPI DiscussionSent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 12:25 AMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: Extending Livelink's XML Capabilities...Extending Livelink's XML Capabilities...Posted by eLink on 03/27/2002 03:25 PMMessage from Sean M Alderman via eLinkThis topic is partly a feature question and partly a developmentquestion.

Hi Sean,

In LL 9.1 LAPI will support xmlExport as well as LiveReports.

I don't understand your problems with the limited data that is exported. The xmlExport RH has some optional parameters that will let export allmost everything you need. Have a look at the 9.0 release notes for a complete overview of options.

This topic is partly a feature question and partly a development
question. I've been playing around with a java application (which I'm
also in the process of developing) which I want to make use of the XML
Export function in Livelink 9.0... The problem I've run into is that
the xml export doesn't return enough data about the item I export.
Specifically not category/attribute data. I'm looking at writing an
override (or perhaps a supplement function in oscript) to xmlexport more
stuff about an object.

Feature-wise, will more object data in livelink be xml accessible in the
future? Has anyone written any customizations that export more xml data
than what's standard with the existing functionality? If so, would you
be willing to share some of your insights about this?

In LAPI, why aren't there any functions documented which can be used to
grab xml data from Livelink? Will there be such functionality in future
versions? I currently have to simulate a webclient in order to run the
xmlexport function to get an xml file for my java app to work with.
