Breaking up large folders into smaller ones

Vikrama_Billava

...so we've loaded a pile of documents (a million!) into Livelink. Problem is, several thousand went into a common "Homeless" folder. Doh! We can't even open it, we get a CGI timeout.I would like to have a module that accepts a nodeid of the large folder, and creates subfolders below, putting, say 250 items in each until the large folder doesn't have any documents.A large folder splitter. I'm sure someone must have done this before, I would have thought it a "toolbox" utility.Anyone?Dave Gee

Message from Nair, Krishnankutty N. via eLinkWhat is your backend,sqlserver or oracle.If it is oracle a connect by query should give you all the descendants,similarly you may have to write a function in sqlserver.You can print the dataid's to a flat file,and using a primary loop you should be able to use a DAPI.MoveNode to a place of your choice,or even call a simple lapi call to do it until thething becomes browseable again. I am thinking this lapi stuff could be written with excel VBA.Otherwise you can do a livereport and bring the results and do a manual move although I am not sure whether or not the LR result set has that multiple move things.Or better still,One of the best things in oscript that you could use is the NodeCrawler object and ,this gives you exactly what you are after.You specify the nodeid and then the gulp size(250 at a time) and perform node operations.It is an awesome object.If you have builder look in the ospace lliapi for a nodecrwaler object and an example.-----Original Message-----From: eLink Discussion: Livelink LiveReports Discussion[mailto:livereportsdiscussion@elinkkc.opentext.com]Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 1:11 PMTo: eLink RecipientSubject: Breaking up large folders into smaller onesBreaking up large folders into smaller onesPosted by Williams, Paul A on 01/08/2006 02:09 PM...so we've loaded a pile of documents (a million!) into Livelink.

Message from Bhupinder Singh via eLinkSome thoughts:1. You could ask your web server administrator to temporarily increaseyour CGI timeout so that you can go into this folder to createsubfolders and move items as desired.2. You can use the search tool combined with the collections feature tomove items from the main folder. Here's how:Use the Advanced Search page, complex query, with the followingcriteria:"OTLocation":"xxxxxx"...where xxxxxx is the nodeID of the folder. The search results bydefault give 10 per page, but you can increase it to 100 per page byclicking the display options button on the Advanced Search page itself.Once you have the results, you can select all of them by clicking thecheckbox at the top of the list to the left of the "Select Action"dropdown box. Next, choose the "Add to default collection" from the"Select Action" list; this will transfer the list to your Personal,Collections page (Personal menu, Collections option), from where you canselect a "Move" action on all the items simultaneously.3. Though pagination of Livelink folders is a feature that is not yetavailable, Alex Kowalenko (formerly of Open Text) had created a FolderPagination Utility that is compatible with Livelink 9.1. If you areinterested in a version compatible with Livelink 9.2.x or higher, thenyou can contact your Open Text Sales rep to see if we can bundle someservices into an engagement to upgrade it and deliver what you need.

We also have a performance problem with some large folders.I have tried to establish if the pagination utility will be available core product in the future but is is a little grey.Does anyone have any experience of the utility, ease of installation, upgradability and performance etc.We are 9.2 SP1 on Solaris at present but soon going 9.5 SP1.

Pagination of Livelink folders is not a feature that is currently available for Livelink 9.5.x. Alex Kowalenko (formerly of Open Text) had created a Folder Pagination Utility that is compatible with Livelink 9.1, but *not* Livelink 9.2 or later. He mentioned once that if any customer is interested then we could bundle some services into a Global Services engagement to upgrade it and deliver what the customer needs. You would need to contact Open Text Global Services if you wish to consider this approach.

I have entered a formal feature request, currently marked as a suggestion for a future release. If you should wish to enquire on its status anytime yourself, simply contact Customer Support and quote the bug number given below.

Bug #LPAD-10231 (formerly referred to as bug #1953968)

Bug Description - Pagination requested for browse view of Livelink folders and workspaces

Bug Details - I have a folder with 1000 documents. When I open a folder, I need to scroll down for the list of documents. Actually we can limit this by using "paging" concept. I would like to see 20 documents on a page and the click to "next" to see 20 more documents. In that way I don't need to scroll down all the way down in a page.

Does anyone have any experience of the utility, ease of installation, upgradability and performance etc.

We are 9.2 SP1 on Solaris at present but soon going 9.5 SP1.

Its easy to get into the situation that was described (1000 might actually be a small number in many cases) and it one of those obvious nasty features which give Livelink a bad name with the users (who, after all, are who we are supoosed to be serving)Can't something inovative be done to bundle this into LL 9.6KB

Using llisapi.dll, you won'T get the timeout in IISLouis
