copy version across subtypes with oScript

Hi everyone,I have to write an oScript module in which some nodes should be copied and changed subtypes. Original nodes are in any subtypes such as emails, media contents (in media folders) etc. Destination nodes should be in document (144) subtype. For each node, only a specified version is needed.Can anyone help?Thank you very much.

Hi Thanh,

You can't copy a node and change its subtype. It sounds as though what you're really trying to do is create new Document nodes and set their contents to those of nodes of another type.

To create and manage a Document node you'll want to use the scripts in:

$LLIAPI.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem ($TypeDocument)

These scripts would include NodeCreate() and NodeAddVersion(). The parameters to NodeAddVersion include an Assoc; you can set the SrcVersion keyed value to the appropriate version from a source node, and the version from the source will be added as a new version to your node.

The documentation for thse routines can probably be found in .../builder/documentation/moduleindex/kernel/index-lliapi.html

or you can browse the source code itself and make reasonable assumptions about what the api is.

Hope this helps,

-chris
