CWS Consumption using SOAP UI Tool

Hello:

Anyone tried to upload document to Content Server using CWS through SOAP UI tool? I did it programatically using .NET/JAVA.

However, if someone has used the SOAP UI then could anyone please share sample payload for uploading document?

the order of payload would be -

1. Create Autheticaiton - Get Auth Token

2. Creation Document Context - Get Context ID

3. Upload document

Sample SoapUI Test Step attached. The "payload" was a text file. Sample uses WebServices Security but OTAuthentication Token could be used instead.

Thanks Bohdan , I also was trying SOAP UI for the first time and your JPG helped

me.At this snippet I faked a date as when I dropped(cached) the file into SOAPUI
In your e.g how are you getting that FileDate?
            <urn1:attach>
            <urn2:CreatedDate>2013-02-18T23:07:02-05:00</urn2:CreatedDate>
            
            <urn2:FileName>good.csv</urn2:FileName>

it will be good to know if that is possible to get directly as well

1 Use Share Point, 2 Use Web Report, 3 Use Spread Sheet

Thanks a lot, Bohdan! That helped.

Some questions though... you are using CreateDocument method ... however the KC documents specifiy .NET Samples with following sequence ,

1. Create Authentication - Get Auth Token

2. Creation Document Context - Get Context ID

3. Upload document

What would be key difference?

Furthermore, CWS support SOAP 1.2 and MTOM , I believe this is used for larger files, any inputs on this thought?

Dave_Kinchlea

You answered your own question really, CreateDocument doesn't use MTOM and thus is restricted to "small" files, in my experience, files < 1MB. The UploadContent does use MTOM.

Thanks Dave.

Anyone has sample SOAP UI payload for UploadContent ? thanks all ...

John Thomas

I am trying to send document content chunk by chunk to OpenText using SOAP.

Mainly defining all attributes as MessageHeader for metadata and MessageBody for filestream as MTOM.

It is successful for <1 MB files but not uploading any bigger than that.

After debugging further, got to know if Job ID or Session ID expires then Bad Request error pops up which was the same with my code.

Could anyone of you provide me any sample code to make the session or job id active till its gets uploaded

Hi John,

If you are sure Livelink's CWS/EWS is not working as per your requirements or expectations you have the option of using a support ticket.the fact is that livelink can really behave very differently when properly configured and understood.I always pay attention to the gurus in the forum like Kyle Swidrowich/Jason Smith/Scott Grasley .If you search these forums you will find at least on many occasions why OT says SOAPUI while being a cool/nifty tool to do some quick tests but why it miserably fails when it comes to OT's metadata implementation with that tool.

So first make sure you have all the ducks in a row

Have you deployed it in WCF or a JAX-WS framework.
Did you do the IIS or java increase timeouts /increase the webserver temp stuff at the webserver
Is livelink accessed a single server or is it getting load balanced
I s livelink storing files on EFS or BLOB or archive server...
Can the forum members see a screen cap of ?func=admin.securityvars you can remove anything that you don't want divulged.I would play strongly with the Cookie Encryption key and the TTL for the cookie.In non complicated WCF deployments the token is the cookie so if it expires you wont get in to livelink
Do you think you are using the auth svc the one that ends in Authentication.svc if so who is the gate keeper,livelink, , OTDS or the webserver?

1 MB is a very small amount of data so i would suspect environment/configuration than anything else

Hi All,

Could any one of you share the payload for SOAP UI request for createDocument() and uploadContent() methods.

Thanks!

Hello All

Thanks very much for your post.

It helped a lot.

The above example does work for me as long as i remove all the metadata from the CreateDocumentContext.

But this also means that i'm not able to add the metadata.

We have a requirement to add metadata to the files being uploaded.

I get the following error when attempting to upload the document.

<faultcode xmlns:a="urn:Core.service.livelink.opentext.com">a:DocMan.NodeCreationError</faultcode>

<faultstring xml:lang="en-US">Dispatched service DocumentManagement threw exception DocMan.NodeCreationError : No permissions to access the attribute definition node. [E662241287]</faultstring>

Any advice on how i can fix this.

Please be aware that i'm not an expert on this application.

Detailed instructions might be required.

Attached is my soap calls.
