Make file hidden/featured/... using Web Services

Koen_Michiels

Hi,

Is it possible to change the way that a file (or folder) is displayed (e.g. hidden) using Web Services 9.7.1?

Is there somewhere an overview of what is possible with Web Services?

Thanks,

Koen

Hi Koen,

To change the way an object is displayed (list, featured or hidden) you can change the Catalog property of the Node. List = 0, Featured = 1, Hidden = 2. You can just call DocumentManagement.UpdateNode() with the updated Catalog property on the Node object.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the reply. Is there some documentation where I can find these kind of things?

Below is the Java code in case someone would like to use it:

public void makeNodeHidden(int nodeId) {   Node node = documentManagement.getNode(nodeId);   node.setCatalog(2);   documentManagement.updateNode(node);}

Hi Koen,

The most complete documentation available would be the provided JavaDocs. It sometimes takes a keen eye to figure out things like this though (for example, the Node object explains what the Category feature is but perhaps not intuitive). Besides the JavaDocs there is the Client Guide, Programmer's Guide, Installation Guide and an FAQ for web services documentation. Unfortunately there is no comprehensive documentation available that explains how to do things like this. So whenever you are stuck on something the best thing to do would be to ask on the forums.

Hi Koen,

Please see the definition of a Node in the API documentation:

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/fetch/2001/15080935/-15106263/15106294/16376487/17990637/17990649/17990650/18047148/javadoc/com/opentext/livelink/service/docman/Node.html

In particular, the getCatalog and setCatalog method information:

setCatalog(Integer value)
Sets the integer controlling the display of the node in Livelink's browse view (0=list,1=featured,2=hidden)

Regards,

Kyle
