category values

How does one retrieve the categories for a specific object? Is there a DAPI call that will provide this information?I have searched the database and found where category and attribute definitions are stored. The only table I found where the values for selected categories and attibutes was the DAuditNew table. Is this the only table where the values are stored?Thanks,Chris

Hi Chris,In the LLNode object, there is a CategoriesGet() method that will retrieve the categories/attributes for a specific item.Let me know if you are not familiar with working with LLNode objects...but, it sounds like you have done a bit of OScript and this should be easy for you.Best,Donna

Hallo,

thanks for the hint, where can i find some Documentation on that?

(the Order of the NameParts of the Function is quite unusual ...)

Hallo

by searching your Hint "CategoryGet" directly in the Filesystem of the Help file i could found something similar (but i think, this file is not linked in the Help-Index)

\builder\documentation\ModuleIndex\kernel|LLNode.html

But it's NodeCategoryGet(). I can not find a CatagoryGet(). Does such a function really exists?

Nevertheless, may be, this function NodeCategoryGet() could help me, but i got this answer by using it on the 'TestFolder' which contains the Categroy i'm looking for:

A<1,?,'ApiError'=?,'AttrData'=?,'ErrMsg'='The \'TestFolder\' cannot have categories.','OK'=false>

I have basically 3 Issues to solve by OScript - has anyone an idea, where to go on searching for Information...?

a) get A Node (Folder) with a given Value in a given Attribut
b) get full Category information of this Folder
c) update some of the Attributs

For a) i'm even thinking of doing it with SQL, but i can not find, where the Attributes are stored, i only find the Definition of it in the CatRegionMap Table

Thanks for any hint!

For the first item you can use the Livelink search engine to get what you need.

There is a good KB article https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=3499041&objAction=ArticleView&viewType=1 which covers this in some detail and should provide most of what you need for the last two points.
