How to get absolute path of a node using LAPI?

Hello Friends,

Could you please suggest the best way to get the absolute path (like Enterprise: Subfolder: SubSubFolder...) of a node using LAPI.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Anil,

There is a method in EasyLAPI called LLObject.getPath() that'll do this. It's probably not the best solution because it requires multiple requests to generate the path, and would require you to switch your program over to the library. It also assumes you're using Java.

Chris’ EasyLAPI was available as a C# alternative here at some time KyleBaley.org not sure if it is there now or not

I did a pure lapi thing here as well see one of the snippets that say “Want to see full path from Enterprise”

https://communities.opentext.com/communities/cs.dll/wiki/7967685/cs.dll/open/7973190

If the link does not work let me know I will try to see if I have it with me

I would probably use Oracle’s connect by or a SQLserver function create a Live Report and call it form lapi if

You want it.That may be more efficient.

If you execute the search API
(REST API not lapi or WS search) and out put it as XML I believe the xml output has the pathing as well.

Hi Anil,

Very quickly wrote this code in Vb.net.

Test it thoroughly.

Public FURL As String

Public Sub GetPath()

Try

Dim ReturnVal As Integer

Dim ObjVal As LLValue = New LLValue

Dim StrReturnVal As String

Dim ObjName As String

StrReturnVal = GetParent1(2321554) ' Enter Node ID

ReturnVal = LapiDoc.GetObjectInfo(0, 2321554, ObjVal)

ObjName = ObjVal.ToString("Name")

FURL = FURL & ObjName

Console.WriteLine(FURL)

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub

Public Function GetParent1(ByVal NdID As Integer)

Try

Dim llsession As LLSession

Dim llobj As Livelink = New Livelink

llsession = llobj.Livelink_Session("localhost", 2099, "opentextdv", "admin", "livelink")

Dim RetInt, ParentID As Integer

Dim ParName As String

Dim LLval, OobjInf As New LLValue

Dim lapi_doc As New LAPI_DOCUMENTS(llsession)

Dim EntWrkspc As Integer

Dim EntInf As LLValue = New LLValue

RetInt = lapi_doc.AccessEnterpriseWS(EntInf)

EntWrkspc = EntInf.toInteger("ID")

RetInt = lapi_doc.GetObjectInfo(0, NdID, OobjInf)

ParentID = OobjInf.toInteger("ParentID")

If ParentID = -1 Then

ParentID = OobjInf.toInteger("VOLUMEID")

'If Parent is -1 then we cant get name of it, so lets take the root container name itself

ParName = OobjInf.ToString("Name")

Else

RetInt = lapi_doc.GetObjectInfo(0, ParentID, OobjInf)

ParName = OobjInf.ToString("Name")

End If

FURL = ParName & ":" & FURL

If EntWrkspc = ParentID Then

'FURL = FURL.Remove(FURL.Length - 1)

Console.WriteLine(FURL)

Else

GetParent1(ParentID)

End If

Return FURL

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message)

Return Nothing

End Try

End Function

Hope this helps…

Cheers…

Hi Anil,

Appu's link is working.

Those are classic examples. Hope that helps

Thanks, friends.

I could get it using the code from Appu's link (in Java).

Now, I am just trying to create a function in MS SQL Sever for the same.
