Metadata - Not default value via web service

Gioanlorenzo_Magnani_Mejo

Hi all,

my question is : using createDocument operation from documentManagement web service, is it possible one shot to:

1) update small document;

2) assign category to the document;

3) assign specific values to one attribute that compose a category.

Using GetAttributeGroupDefinition operation, i obtain all the information on a category and attributes that compose it; so i think i have all the information to to enhance the structure [metadata].

<urn1:metadata>

<urn1:AttributeGroups>

<urn1:DisplayName>?</urn1:DisplayName>

<urn1:Key>?</urn1:Key>

<urn1:Type>?</urn1:Type>

<urn1:Values>

<urn2:Description>?</urn2:Description>

<urn2:Key>?</urn2:Key>

</urn1:Values>

</urn1:AttributeGroups>

</urn1:metadata>

I'm able to perform step (1) and (2) step, so upload small document and assign a category( filling <urn1:DisplayName>, <urn1:Key> and <urn1:Type>Category</urn1:Type>)

but only with default values for each attribute.

I'm not able to perfom step (3),in other words to assign a particolar value (not default) to one attribute.

I think it could be possible using repeatable tag <urn1:Values>.... but i really don't understand how to fill each field ( i have only <urn2:Description> and <urn2:Key>)

Any suggestion?

Hi, Gianlorenzo.

Each Attribute value uses a base SDO of DataValue. Based on the type of the attribute in question, an extension of DataValue should be used: StringValue, IntegerValue, etc. You can use GetCategoryTemplate() to retrieve a structure that can be used to specify the Metadata when creating or updating a node.

When updating a node, you can only specify Attributes for a Category that already exists; you cannot create a Category on the fly.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi,

i'm using soapUi to test documentManagement WS.

i can obtain all information i need using getCategoryTemplate operation about an existing category.

This is response message :

<ns2:GetCategoryTemplateResponse xmlns="urn:Core.service.livelink.opentext.com" xmlns:ns2="urn:DocMan.service.livelink.opentext.com">
         <ns2:GetCategoryTemplateResult>
            <ns2:DisplayName>Clienti</ns2:DisplayName>
            <ns2:Key>22022.1</ns2:Key>
            <ns2:Type>Category</ns2:Type>
            <ns2:Values xsi:type="BooleanValue" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
               <Description>Famiglie</Description>
               <Key>22022.1.2</Key>
               <Values>false</Values>
            </ns2:Values>
            <ns2:Values xsi:type="BooleanValue" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
               <Description>Aziende</Description>
               <Key>22022.1.3</Key>
               <Values>false</Values>
            </ns2:Values>
         </ns2:GetCategoryTemplateResult>

I want to use this information in createDocument operation, in particolar in filling metadata tag.

IIf i fill only DisplayName, Key and type in tag meatadata ( and omit optional attribute values)

<urn1:metadata>
            <urn1:AttributeGroups>

               <urn1:DisplayName>Clienti</urn1:DisplayName>

               <urn1:Key>22022.1</urn1:Key>

               <urn1:Type>Category</urn1:Type>

            </urn1:AttributeGroups>
         </urn1:metadata>
i have an positive result, witch consist in assign category with default values.

Now i don't understand how to fill attributues values in this structure :

<urn1:metadata>
            <urn1:AttributeGroups>

               <urn1:DisplayName>Clienti</urn1:DisplayName>

               <urn1:Key>22022.1</urn1:Key>

               <urn1:Type>Category</urn1:Type>

<urn1:Values>

                  <urn2:Description>?</urn2:Description>

                  <urn2:Key>?</urn2:Key>
               </urn1:Values>
            </urn1:AttributeGroups>
         </urn1:metadata>

because i think i have only Description and key field..

Can you help me?

Any news about this argument?

Hi, Gianlorenzo.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

The GetCategoryTemplate response is the same format as what is require for the Metadata SDO. So you'll want to do something like this:

<urn1:metadata>
            <urn1:AttributeGroups>
               <urn1:DisplayName>Clienti</urn1:DisplayName>
               <urn1:Key>22022.1</urn1:Key>
               <urn1:Type>Category</urn1:Type>
            <urn1:Values xsi:type="BooleanValue" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
               <Description>Famiglie</Description>
               <Key>22022.1.2</Key>
               <Values>false</Values>
            </urn1:Values>
            <urn1:Values xsi:type="BooleanValue" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
               <Description>Aziende</Description>
               <Key>22022.1.3</Key>
               <Values>false</Values>
            </urn1:Values>
            </urn1:AttributeGroups>
         </urn1:metadata>

Thanks,

Scott

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I try to test using your suggestion and many combination, but it doesn 't work fine.

I believe we are near the solution, could tou give me an example of xml that works fine for every kind of category/attribute you want ? for example the simplest category, with only one attribute type flag:checkbox (that matches type:BooleanValue").

Gioanlorenzo_Magnani_Mejo

Any suggestions?

sgrasley

Hi, GIanlorenzo.

Can you explain the problem you're seeing? Have you tried using GetCategoryTemplate to retrieve the structure to pass as the metadata to CreateDocument? Can you post the request that you're trying to use?

Thanks,

Scott

Gioanlorenzo_Magnani_Mejo

Hi Scott,

i'm testing via soapuUi docManagement web service, i try to explain the problem and step to reproduce it:

1 - i perform getCategoryTemplate operation, so i obtain all the information about category ( one one boolean value). Body operation response is :

<S:Body>
      <ns2:GetCategoryTemplateResponse xmlns="urn:Core.service.livelink.opentext.com" xmlns:ns2="urn:DocMan.service.livelink.opentext.com">
         <ns2:GetCategoryTemplateResult>
            <ns2:DisplayName>TEST Category</ns2:DisplayName>
            <ns2:Key>114046.1</ns2:Key>
            <ns2:Type>Category</ns2:Type>
            <ns2:Values xsi:type="BooleanValue" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
               <Description>ATTRIBUTE TEST</Description>
               <Key>114046.1.2</Key>
               <Values>false</Values>
            </ns2:Values>
         </ns2:GetCategoryTemplateResult>
      </ns2:GetCategoryTemplateResponse>
   </S:Body>

2 - i perform createDocument, assigning category without specifying value. I obtain a positive response, i can create document with the specific category assigned with default attribute value ( ATTRIBUTE TEST is false). Body Request message is :

<soapenv:Body>
      <urn1:CreateDocument>
         <urn1:parentID>136494</urn1:parentID>
         <urn1:name>Test metadata</urn1:name>
         <urn1:comment>Test metadata</urn1:comment>
         <urn1:advancedVersionControl>true</urn1:advancedVersionControl>
<urn1:metadata>
            <urn1:AttributeGroups>
               <urn1:DisplayName>TEST Category</urn1:DisplayName>
            <urn1:Key>114046.1</urn1:Key>
            <urn1:Type>Category</urn1:Type>
            </urn1:AttributeGroups>
         </urn1:metadata>
         <urn1:attach>
            <urn2:CreatedDate>2011-01-20</urn2:CreatedDate>
            <urn2:FileName>test.log</urn2:FileName>
            <urn2:FileSize>9239</urn2:FileSize>
            <urn2:ModifiedDate>2011-01-20</urn2:ModifiedDate>
            <urn2:Contents>cid:259273984772</urn2:Contents>
         </urn1:attach>
      </urn1:CreateDocument>
   </soapenv:Body>

3- i want to perform the same operation of step (2), but i want to assign "true" value to ATTRIBUTE TEST. Body Request message i try to perform is :

<soapenv:Body>
      <urn1:CreateDocument>
         <urn1:parentID>136494</urn1:parentID>
         <urn1:name>Test metadata 1</urn1:name>
         <urn1:comment>Test metadata</urn1:comment>
         <urn1:advancedVersionControl>true</urn1:advancedVersionControl>
<urn1:metadata>
            <urn1:AttributeGroups>
               <urn1:DisplayName>TEST Category</urn1:DisplayName>
            <urn1:Key>114046.1</urn1:Key>
            <urn1:Type>Category</urn1:Type>
    <urn1:Values xsi:type="BooleanValue" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
                    <urn2:Description>ATTRIBUTE TEST</urn2:Description>
                    <urn2:Key>114046.1.2</urn2:Key>
                    <urn2:Values>false</urn2:Values>
                </urn1:Values>
            </urn1:AttributeGroups>
         </urn1:metadata>
         <urn1:attach>
            <urn2:CreatedDate>2011-01-20</urn2:CreatedDate>
            <urn2:FileName>test.log</urn2:FileName>
            <urn2:FileSize>9239</urn2:FileSize>
            <urn2:ModifiedDate>2011-01-20</urn2:ModifiedDate>
            <urn2:Contents>cid:259273984772</urn2:Contents>
         </urn1:attach>
      </urn1:CreateDocument>
   </soapenv:Body>

I obtain a negative response : "DocumentManagement.CreateDocument() failed on the Livelink Server. No results were returned".

Have you any idea how to solve this problem? How i had to fill </urn1:Values> structure in order to force attribute value?

Regards

sgrasley

Hi, Gianlorenzo.

The error message you're getting suggests that there was a problem on the Content Server side. Please review the thread logs from Content Server for error messages. You may even have a trace file in the Content Server logs folder.

Please ensure that in your opentext.ini file you have set [general] Debug=2 and [options] wantLAPILogs=TRUE.

In your sample request #3, what namespace is urn2 set to?

Thanks,

Scott

Gioanlorenzo_Magnani_Mejo

Hi Scott,

urn2 namespace is "urn:Core.service.livelink.opentext.com".

I send in attachment a trace file generated after "createDocument" call "trace4-1295962727.out", but i'ma not able to understand the meaning of the single rows.

What i can see in thread.out log file is :

"An unknown feature was specified
Created trace log: .\logs\trace4-1295962727.out"

If you can take a look....

trace4-1295962727.out

Kyle_Swidrovich

The trace file indicates an Oscript crash within the "NewStoreValues" function:

ObjRef: #9300a0f7.'NewStoreValues'

I cannot find this particular function in my 9.7.1 instance.
If you have a thread log, can you provide us with the line in your thread log containing the text "Root: #93"?

The line will appear something like this:

#OSpace: apiform Root: #1b000001 File: C:\......

Thanks,
Kyle

sgrasley

Gianlorenzo, do you have Enterprise Library installed? If so, which version? What patches do you have installed?

Thanks,

Scott

Gioanlorenzo_Magnani_Mejo

Hi all,

thank you for reply.

About logging :

The only row i can find using "Root: #93" in thread log is

"#OSpace: elservice Root: #93000001 File: \LL_Archive\Opentext\module\elservice_1_1_0\ospa Size: 1547264"

I don't know if is it enough, so in attachment the log file ( i think taht log file for my case start from 7680 line )

About Enterprise Library :

The version of the DocumentManagement Services of
Enterprise WebServices Livelink is Livelink Enterprise Server 9.7.1,
Patch WIN_971.2010.06.

Notice that we are not using Content Server standalone (Content Web Services) but as a component of Enterpise Library (Enterpise Library Services). For authentication we use Enterprise Library Services 10.1.0 ( /ot-auth web/Authentication ) instead of Enterprise Web Services 9.7.1 ( /les-services/Authentication ).

Hi, Gianlorenzo.

I think you need to qualify "BooleanValue":

<urn1:Values xsi:type="urn2:BooleanValue" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

Thanks,

Scott

Gioanlorenzo_Magnani_Mejo

Hi Scott,

thank you so much for your reply, problem solved.

I don't understand why <urn2:value> tag does not appear in wsdl structure, but no matter.

Best regards

sgrasley

Hi, Gianlorenzo.

The GetCategoryTemplateResponse sets a default namespace (xmlns="urn:Core.service.livelink.opentext.com"), which is why "BooleanValue" wasn't qualified.

Glad to hear it's working now.

Thanks,

Scott

Following is the way which is working for me

<metadata>
       <AttributeGroups>
       <DisplayName>User Management</DisplayName>
       <Key>30076.2</Key>
       <Type>Category</Type>

       <Values xsi:type="ns2:StringValue" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:ns2="urn:Core.service.livelink.opentext.com">
       <ns2:Description>Naresh</ns2:Description>
       <ns2:Key>30076.2.2</ns2:Key>

   </Values>
       </AttributeGroups>
       </metadata>
