How to get Provider parameter to pass in DAPI.CopyVersion

Hi All,

Can you please let me know how i can get Provider parameter to pass in DAPI.CopyVersion( DAPIVERSION originalVersion, DAPINODE node,DAPIVERSION newVersion, [Integer options], [String provider] )

I have two enviroment one is Windows(development) and other is solaris. Solaris env has external storage while windows has no external storage. So when i am using DAPI.CopyVersion without passing provider parameter it runs fine,probably because by default it takes SQL. But the same not running on solaris.

Then i go to solaris env Admin.index->configure storage Providers. There it is mentioned name as Default, type as EXSHARE. and i made change in code by passing Provider parameter in CopYversion as 'Default'. But still i am not able to add version.

Please let me know if this is the way to get provider name.

What would happen in your Solaris Env if you approached the same using LLIAPI ? Snippet

tested on Cs10 Upd 11 now.Many things that do not work with DAPI will work when you use LLIAPI

If you put a break on the return undefined and look at the ASSOC newVerinfo and even though we are setting a single key of that

when the assoc is populated you should see all the provider info in great detail which may eventually help in your Solaris venture.

Are you calling DAPI.CopyVersion directly? If so why?

Hi David,

Yes i was using DAPI.CopyVersion diectly in the code, thing is i am not aware that DAPI fuctions cannot be used directly. Please let me know why we should not use.

If we have any documentation related to LLIAPI's just like we have for DAPI in builder help can help a lot.

Thanks in Advance..

Br,

DAPI calls are very low level calls. While it is possible to use them, you will end up duplicating a lot of code that has already been done for you. In your example, do you want to audit, inherit RM data, index the new object, etc? If so you have to do all that work yourself. If you use the Webnode/LLNode calls then it takes care of that kind of stuff for you.

Documentation - Have you been to the builder course? That is going to be your best bet for this kind of documentation. If not then try searching Builder for other code that already makes use of the functionality you are trying to implement. In your case, I can copy a document using the GUI so how does that work? What code is being called?

Thanks very much for the help, by using LLIAPI llnode.NodeAddVersion I am able to achive the required.

just for information, below is the piece of code and the description of the issue i faced due to DAPI.CopyVersion

My Builder is on Windows environment and actual environment is in Solaris. I am having some issue in copying file from workflow attachment to a folder in content server. Below is the description of the issue.

let say we have a file abcd.docx having 10 versions in our wf attachment. we need to move only current version i.e 10th version to the repository.
On Using DAPI.CopyNode with DAPI.COPY_CURRENTV option, we are able to copy the node 10th version to the repository.
But the catch here is that the file which is getting copied in the repository is having version number as 10. Requirement says it should copy it as version 1.

Thus we used DAPI.CopyANode which copies abcd.docx file and then above this we are adding current version using DAPI.CopyVersion. this results perfectly fine in windows environment ie but the same is not working in solaris.

Solaris results in:

We are able to see 0 kb file only but when we render version information of the file ie versions tab it is showing me 2 kb file version(as version no. 1), which is correct. Above that when we open Specific tab for this file it is showing Current Version: 0 (0 available)

Integer copynover
    copynover = DAPI.COPY_NO_VER ;
    DAPINODE new =     DAPI.AllocNode( dSession )

    //source node is an attachment file eg abcd.docx let say having 10 versions
    //destNode is repository folder
    status1 = DAPI.CopyANode(sourceNode,destNode ,new,copynover)

    echo('after move');
    if IsError( status1 )
        ok = FALSE
        errMsg = 'Error moving workflow attachment.'
    break
    end

    //taking the current version of attachment file
    DAPIVERSION sourceVersion = DAPI.GetVersion(sourceNode, DAPI.VERSION_GET_CURRENT);
    DAPIVERSION docVersion1 = DAPI.AllocVersion(dSession);
    DAPINODE newlyaddedfile
    //getting the newly added file which is added by copyANode function.
    newlyaddedfile = DAPI.GetNode(attachInfo[attachCnt].name , destNode)

    Integer copyFlags1
    copyFlags1 = DAPI.VCOPY_ADDVER | DAPI.VCOPY_UNLOCK
    //adding latest version to it.
    status1 = DAPI.CopyVersion(sourceVersion, newlyaddedfile, docVersion1, copyFlags1)
     if IsError( status1 )
        ok = FALSE
        errMsg = 'Error moving workflow attachment.'

break
end

Hi Smreet,

If you turn on full logging ( open your opentext.ini and set Debug=0 to Debug=11 and set WantLogs=TRUE ) and restart content server and run your test again, the thread logs/connect logs should contain error messages related to why it can't create the version file, or possibly a clue. It could be a file system permissions/group issue with possibly your upload directory or your efs directory or even between the web server/cgi/content server.

And in case you wanted to learn something livelink has an excellent way of handling the versions it uses.

For e.g if you were using EFS and added the first version of a file and lets say it is 1 GB

I am pretty sure you know how to trace the location of the real file(Dtree, dversdata, providerdata)

Now use the GUI of livelink and copy this file to somewhere else in livelink?

would LL add another 1 GB file to the file store?

You will find it does not ,but then when you click it you can get it how?

Only when the version is edited would livelink commit the file as a discrete another object.

Again this is one of the reasons sometimes SQL based Math of counting all documents in File Store wont work...

Kind of Single Instancing(SI) in livelink way ....

BTW- I knew this because I was asked to code a GUI version of what your original requirement was several years ago

I also developed a good habit of trying to trace calls on how OT does its job.My colleague John Simon was my mentor and way earlier in my career he

created this habit of training me to look in code.Will not hurt anything and will make you better at it.
