Attribute Group not retrieved from Metadata object

Sjaak_Hoeijenbos

Hi,

I am new to LiveLink.

I am trying to upload a document (which works fine) and I want to add metadata to it in the form of an attribute group (Category).

I created a Category + 2 attributes in the 'admin home' node using LiveLink.

When using DocumentManagement to get the Node, I can see the node ('admin home') was succesfully retrieved and node.getMetadata() gave me a Metadata object.

However, when calling metadata.getAttributeGroups(), I get an empty list.

What is the proper way to retrieve all attribute groups that exist within a node ?

Thanks,

Hi, Coen.

It sounds like you've created a Category within the Admin home container.  In this case, you could use the DocumentManagement service's GetCategory() and GetCategoryTemplate() methods to access the Category using its ID.

The methods you've called would be used to retrieve Categories that have been assigned to the Admin Home container itself, not Category definitions within that container.

You could use DocumentManagement's ListNodes() method to list the contents of Admin Home, including the Categories, then inspect the results to determine which Node is the Category you want to use, based on its name, perhaps.  The Node would give you the ID to pass to GetCategory/GetCategoryTemplate.

Thanks,

Scott
