MoveNode - Destination Category not appliying on child node after moving folder

Support_Lloyds_Register

Hello Everyone,

We area having Content Server 10 environment. I am trying to write code for move node from one location to other using functionality from Content Server Web Services.

Destination location having one cateogory applied which I want to apply on the moved node and all its child nodes [Folders & documents]

I have written below code where Destination and Source both categories applied to moved node, But when I checked it only applies to parent node. Not of any child node having destination category value applied.

public bool MoveNode( int iNodeID, int iParentID, string sName, bool bInheritPerms = false )

{

try

{

MoveOptions oMoveOpts = new MoveOptions ();

oMoveOpts.ForceInheritPermissions = bInheritPerms;

oMoveOpts.AttrSourceType = AttributeSourceType .MERGE;

_oDocMan.MoveNode( ref _oDMAuth, iNodeID, iParentID, sName, oMoveOpts);

return true ;

}

catch ( Exception ex)

{

return false ;

}

} 

Can anyone advise where I am making mistake and any other resolution for the same?

Thanks

Aditi

Content Web Services does not currently offer the ability to apply a category definition to all children of a container.  One can update category data on a specific node through the metadata parameter, but there isn't a flag that lets you say "apply to subitems".

Currently, you need to crawl through the node's children and grandchildren client-side, applying a metadata update at each node.
