Set Category to Alias (Shortcut) Using OScript

Hallo,

I need to set Categroy for Shortcut but it does not work. May be the issue is, that for Shortcuts i have

-> Shortcut -> Properties -> Categroies and
-> Original -> Properties -> Categroies

But i have no idea and could not found yet any documention i understand about that topic ...

I use the same code as Setting Categries for Folders (which works fine). I use this code (form here
https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=13551128&objAction=viewincontainer&ShowReplyEntry=17995134#forum_topic_17995134, more detailed from here: https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=17996016&objAction=download )

I expect the error in this part:

// Get DPINODE by node id
  DAPINODE targetNode = DAPI.GetNodeByID( prgCtx.DapiSess(), DAPI.BY_DATAID, nodeID )
  //Get object llnode
  Object   objllnode = $LLIApi.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem( targetNode.pSubType )

For Folders this works fine.

For Shortcuts it does not. I can make it working by changing "targetNode.pSubType" to 0. But i do not know what this "targetNode.pSubType" is or should be ...

btw: targetNode is the Shortcut.

btw2: the Error i got is very confusing, and i do not think this is really the problem

this is the output

targetNode.pName: 002 Test Link (1110001101)
targetNode.pSubType: 1
objllnode: #41da058
originalCatResult: A<1,?,'ApiError'=?,'AttrData'=<LL:Frame>{{fParent:#400346a}fAddedCategories:V{<'Name','Key'>},fAttrChangePrefix:'',fData:A<1,?>,fDefID:?,fDefinitions:A<1,?>,fDeletedCategories:V{<'Name','Key'>},fID:21230,fNewCreation:false,fNoPermData:?,fPrgCtx:#41da09c,fUserData:?,fValueChanges:V{<'Key','Old','New'>},fVerNum:0}</LL:Frame>,'ErrMsg'='','OK'=true>
attrData. <LL:Frame>{{fParent:#400346a}fAddedCategories:V{<'Name','Key'>},fAttrChangePrefix:'',fData:A<1,?>,fDefID:?,fDefinitions:A<1,?>,fDeletedCategories:V{<'Name','Key'>},fID:21230,fNewCreation:false,fNoPermData:?,fPrgCtx:#41da09c,fUserData:?,fValueChanges:V{<'Key','Old','New'>},fVerNum:0}</LL:Frame>
result3: A<1,?,'ApiError'=?,'AttrSet'={17347,3},'ErrMsg'='','OK'=true>
dyn: A<1,?,'ErrMsg'='SAPObjectId is a required field.','KeyID'=2,'OK'=false>

of this code here:

//////////////////////////////////

echo ("targetNode.pName: " , targetNode.pName)
echo ("targetNode.pSubType: " , targetNode.pSubType)

    //Get object llnode
    Object   objllnode = $LLIApi.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem( targetNode.pSubType )
    //Object   objllnode = $LLIApi.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem( 0 )

    echo ("objllnode: " , objllnode)

   //Get node category info
    Dynamic originalCatResult = objllnode.NodeCategoriesGet( targetNode )

    echo ("originalCatResult: " , originalCatResult)

    //get nodecategory attributedata
    Dynamic attrData = originalCatResult.AttrData

echo("attrData. ", attrData)

//Add desired category info to attrdata
Dynamic result3 = attrData.AttrGroupAdd( categoryID )

    echo ("result3: " , result3)

   //Update node category info
    Dynamic dyn = objllnode.NodeCategoriesUpdate( targetNode, attrData )

    echo ("dyn: " , dyn)

//////////////////////////////////

If i switch those two lines, it "seams" to work also for Shortcuts (Alias) but is this the way to do it? What are the possible concequences?

    //Get object llnode
    Object   objllnode = $LLIApi.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem( targetNode.pSubType )
    //Object   objllnode = $LLIApi.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem( 0 )

Any information available on that issue?

Thanks
Thomas

Seeing thiserror I think what you might check is this business rule in livelink.

In standardlivelink unless you turn a flag on ,folders and container objects will notinisist on manadatory attributes.Passing null to them is OK.

All versionableobjects on the other hand like documents,workflow maps,category objects etcwill insist on manadtoriness being honored.

So if the alias$TypeAlias is usually 1 is a object that will expect manadatory values if thecategory applied to it has manadatory values specified.

It looks to methat livelink is telling you that 'ErrMsg'='SAPObjectId is a required field.','KeyID'=2,'OK'=false>whatever you are passing to it it needs a value for the key SAPObjectId

Also there isno guarantee that the code I sent you works in all situations J

Hallo,

yes, i agree, that this is the meaning of the error Message (and yes, SAPObjectId ist mandotary)

But as far as i understood, we have two steps

1) adding the Category to a node
2) updating the values to this added Category

And the error is yet in the first step (at least for folder it seams to work like this), that i have first "empty" Attributes in the newly generated Category and than add the Values to it

I try now to change it, so to do both in one step...

Hello,

It seams that the case is in object types.

Usually for container type objects the mandatory attributes do not have to be filled (settings can be edited in admin.index pages).

Now what you did is getting LLnode by alias type (targenode.psubtype). the attribute have to be filled.

Getting llnode by subtype 0 = folder subtype, the attribute do not have to filled.

Getting llnode by right subtype and filling the attribute value is is the right solution.

I hope you have it covered but any ways for future.the right pseudocode could be like this

<![if !supportLists]>1. <![endif]>Check by making a template of the node by using something likethis from your code Object objllnode =

$LLIApi.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem($TypeAlias ) if objllnode.fattrusage and if objllnode.fattrrequired is truethen you have surpassed the first checks,this is in the documentation of the llnodeobject

<![if !supportLists]>2. <![endif]>Either get the category that you are applying from the node orthe category def node itself. In the returned result it will tell youwhether this definition has mandatory attributes as well.So cover your tracksfor that.

<![if !supportLists]>3. <![endif]>Apply the category object with default values or changed valuesto your node.

The 150 lines of code can be better written by looking at newercode streams from OT.John Undehill actually hinted you to those.I was debugginga problem and I was in awe for the OT programmers who had done things like

This,when I wanted to find how to use a new storagerule.At that time nobody seemed to know so I debugged it http://communities.opentext.com/communities/livelink.exe?func=ll&objId=8298936&objAction=view&viewDate=20091112#entry_8421308

And wrote my experiences on it. I am really not doing anyoscript at this time so am rather out of touch on things.

Hallo,

thanks for the infos, but i could not yet get it working.

Because time is running, i needed a workaround: by setting default Values for the Madatory Attributs (which is ok in this cases) the script works also for Alias

Thanks for your help, i need to go into details later ....
