Copy Documents with getting the Parent Folder Categories (and Attribut Values) by OScript

Hallo,

i have the issue, that i need to copy several documents into Folders with categories. The aim is, that the Documents get the Categories and Attributs of the new parent. (The parent has also mandatory Attributs, which should be the same in the copied document)

Doing it manualy with the appropriate copy-Option works fine.

With OScript, i can not yet get it working

I did the following without succes:

DAPI.CopyNode(dummyNode, parentNode)
-->> the Document is copied correctly without errors, but without any categories
-->> i can open and edit the Copied Document (a txt file)

DAPI.CopyANode(dummyNode, parentNode, newNode, DAPI.COPY_DST_CAT)
-->> the function returns 0 (so i expect it sould be ok, isn't it
-->> there is a new Node created with the name of newNode.pName
-->> but the Node has now Link on it
-->> there are no Categroies on the Node
-->> "edit" link is missing
-->> clicking "open" returns: Livelink Error: Error opening item. [The version is not found.], E681902084: The version is not found.:
-->> clicking "download" returns:Livelink Error: Error processing request. [Error getting version from the database.], E681902084: The version is not found.:

DAPI.CopyANode(dummyNode, parentNode, newNode, DAPI.COPY_DST_CAT | DAPI.COPY_CURRENTV)
-->> the function returns: Could not create path.
-->> there is node created created with the name of newNode.pName
-->> but the Node has now Link on it
-->> there are no Categroies on the Node
-->> edit, open, download as above

DAPI.CopyANode(dummyNode, parentNode, newNode)
-->> the function returns 0
-->> there is node created created with the name of newNode.pName
-->> but the Node has now Link on it
-->> there are no Categroies on the Node
-->> edit, open, download as above

What's the correct way to copy existing Documetns in a way, they get the Categories of the parent Folder by OScript?

Or what is best to debug the above mentioned Functions?

Hi Thomas,

You should use the LLIAPI copy utility. Something like

llNode = $LLIAPI.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem( srcNode.pSubType )
result = llNode.NodeCopy( srcNode,destParent,optionsMask,newName,copyInfo )

Parameters:
node - The node.
dstParentNode - The destination parent node.
option - The DAPI copy flags.
newNodeName - The new name for the copied node.
copyInfo - An assoc contains any additional copy information.

Returns:
An Assoc containing the following keys:
Boolean   OK - TRUE if ok.
String   ErrMsg - Application error message if not ok.
Error   ApiError - Error returned by API if not ok.
DAPINODE   NewNode - The copied node if ok.

This way you ensure having any callbacks being called.

I echo Pierce in this.saty away from DAPI commands.Here is a functionI use to do things like these

Function Assoc EnforceCategoriesOnChildren(ObjectprgCtx,DAPINODE srcNode,DAPINODE dstNode)

//Pass it the programcontext the foldernode to inheritcategories from as a DAPINODE and the newnode as a DAPINODE

//we copied the version but we lost the attributesecho(dstNode.pVersionNum)

Dynamic parentAttr = $LLIAPI.AttrData.New( prgCtx, srcNode.pID,srcNode.pVersionNum)

parentAttr.DBGet()

Dynamic newAttr = $LLIAPI.AttrData.New( prgCtx, dstNode.pID,dstNode.pVersionNum )

newAttr.DBGet()

newAttr.fData = parentAttr.fData

newAttr.fDefinitions = parentAttr.fDefinitions

Dynamic llnode = $LLIAPI.LLNodeSubsystem.GetItem(dstNode.pSubtype )

Dynamic status = llnode.NodeCategoriesUpdate( dstNode, newAttr )

return( status )

end

Note the function will have the same deficiencies as we wereexplaining like business rules on versions,.

Hallo,

i tried this EnforceCategoriesOnChildren() and got this error:

A<1,?,'ApiError'=?,'DapiCtx'=?,'ErrMsg'='Could not find the DapiSession object of DummyDocumentToCopy.','Ok'=false>

The error comes from here NodeUtil.FindDapiCtx()

  dSession = CAPI.Parent( node )

  if IsError( dSession )
   ok = FALSE
   errMsg = Str.Format( [LLAPI_LLNodeErr.CouldNotGetTheDapiSessionHandleFrom1], node.pName )
   apiError = dSession
  else
   dapiCtx = CAPI.ContextData( dSession )

   if IsUndefined( dapiCtx ) || IsError( dapiCtx )
    ok = FALSE
    errMsg = Str.Format( [LLAPI_LLNodeErr.CouldNotFindTheDapiSessionObjectOf1], node.pName )

Because i thought, i have a Problem with the previous by OScript generated Folders with Categories, i tried the same on an other VM with manually created Folders and Categrories, but with the same effect.

Is there any known Issue on that?

Could youperhaps? show the forum how you are finding your source node and target node.

Are you usingsimilar code like this

Object dapiCtx= this.fprgCtx.DSession() //the this object is a RH Execute

sourceNode =DAPI.GetNodeByID( dapiCtx.fSession, DAPI.BY_DATAID, sourceDataID ) //thesourceNode where to get the categories from as a DAPINODE object

trgtNode =DAPI.GetNodeByID( dapiCtx.fSession, DAPI.BY_DATAID, trgtDataID ) ////the trgtNodewhere to get the categories from as a DAPINODE object

Hallo

bascially yes, i use those functions, but to get the Session, i reuse two existing (but different) script which uses

getSession()
...
DAPISESSION session = DAPI.AllocSession(llLogin)
...
return session

and

getProgrammSession()
...
        prgAssoc = $LLIApi.PrgSession.CreateNewNamed( loginInfo.DBConnection, { loginInfo.User, loginInfo.Password } )

        prgCtx = prgAssoc.pSession.fDSession //prgAssoc.dSession
...
return prgCtx

Once works the first, once the second, i do not yet understand, why we have those different scripts here in the Project. But both of them seams to work only, if the user is logged in into Livelink before starting the script

The other lines is, what you mentioned

sourceNode = DAPI.GetNodeByID( dapiCtx.fSession, DAPI.BY_DATAID, sourceDataID ) //the sourceNode where to get the categories from as a DAPINODE object

trgtNode = DAPI.GetNodeByID( dapiCtx.fSession, DAPI.BY_DATAID, trgtDataID ) ////the trgtNode where to get the categories from as a DAPINODE object

I would at least do some testing with code as a standard requesthandler,which means a user has to login to the system and all the business rules can be honored.Simpley put livelink's prgCtx encapsulates login information and has DAPIsession along with other sessions.If the user prgctx does not contain SA privs all permission checks are bound to happen.In any case see this thread and read posting by Hans Stoop,where Hans talks about how the call is implemented.

IMHO you should probably consider taking builder fundamentals as it will greatly help you should you choose to program in oscript .
