Add Multiple Categories/Attributes to a Document

I am able to succesfuly able to add a document and attach a SINGLE category with attributes using CreateObjectEx function.

Now I have a requirement of attaching MULTIPLE categories/attributes to the document, I was creating the document using CreateObjectEx for the first time and for the subsequent time, I was thinking of attaching the Cats/Atts using CreateVersionEx function. I tried it and doesn't seem to work. I don't think CreateVesrionEx can attach Cats/Atts.There is a parameter in the funtion LLValue createInfo, I thought this will attach the Cats/Atts

Does anyone came across this issue ?.

If you have any better solution to attach multiple Cats/Atts to a document that will be appreciated too.

Thanks

Hi Ravindra,

Yes, it is possible to attach multiple categories and attributes.

Here is a piece of code.

ReturnVal = LapiDoc.AddDocument(0, 3271695, "TestFile", FilePath, ObjVal, Verinfo)

ObjectID = Verinfo.toInteger("ID")

If ReturnVal = 0 Then

Dim catversion As New LLValue

Dim catid As New LLValue

Dim attrvpath As New LLValue

Dim attrvalues As New LLValue

Dim attype As Integer

Dim RetVal As Long

catid.setAssoc()

catid.add("Type", LAPI_ATTRIBUTES.CATEGORY_TYPE_LIBRARY)

catid.add("ID", 1622306) ' Enter Category ID

retval = LapiDoc.FetchCategoryVersion(catid, catversion)

If retval = 0 Then

attrvalues.setList()

attrvalues.setSize(1)

Dim lattr As New LAPI_ATTRIBUTES(llsession)

Dim status As Long

attrvalues.setList()

attrvalues.setSize(1)

attrvalues.setString(0, "Enter the Attribute Value")

attype = LAPI_ATTRSERVER.ATTR_DATAVALUES

status = lattr.AttrSetValues(catversion, "Module", attype, attrvpath, attrvalues) ' "Module" is Attribute Name

If status = 0 Then

Dim objid As New LLValue

objid.setAssoc()

objid.add("Type", LAPI_DOCUMENTS.OBJECTTYPE)

objid.add("ID", ObjectID) ' Pass the Document Object ID

status = LapiDoc.SetObjectAttributesEx(objid, catversion)

If status <> 0 Then

MsgBox(llsession.getErrMsg)

End If

Else

MsgBox("Attching Attribute Failed")

End If

Else

MsgBox("Upload Failed")

End If

Hope you can convert it to java.

Cheers…….

I wrote a C# snippet to Show Ravindra at the time he wanted this

See if this is any good
