Add version to a document using CWS

Hi Everyone,

I have a document in content server and I want to add a version to the document(linear versioning). I have to use Content Web Service for adding the version. I am trying with documentmanagement_JAXWS.addVersion(long ID, Metadata metadata, Attachment attach) method. Can you please tell me how to set the Attachment object in the method? and how should I setcontent in the Attachment?

Adding a Version follows exactly the same process as one does in GUI.In GUI you would find the Object(DataiD,NodeID).Then you would upload a file to the *webserver* and the *livelinkserver* would then add its version.

If you read this Documentation from OT you will see OT saying the Attachment class is for small files so when you write this code text the upload for above 4 MB and see if Attchment class works.Recently a vendor brought a product who had to rewrite the product because of large file sizes in our organization.So I hope you are not a vendor programmer.

I took the OT sample Upload.java found in this website.When I uploaded a file and looked at its dataid it was something like 13543 .When I ran it the second time I changed the OT Code line

//contextID = docManClient.createDocumentContext(PARENT_ID, file.getName(), null, false, null); to
Node existingNode=docManClient.getNode(13543);
contextID =docManClient.addVersionContext(existingNode.getID(), null);

Ran the sample there was an identical version added to that Dataid.In C# that is how one does it finds the node,initializes the context and uploads using ContentService.If you need to check before adding a version if file exists by same name or something there are very easy ways to do that as well.I was testing with 10 MB files ona CS16 VM with my services server on TomCat.

Hi Appu

That 4mb limit sounds like the ContentService default setting? My guys tell me often have to change that setting when we deploy Bulk Data Manager.

I know that I was just suggesting to the programmer if they don't have access to OT Documentation and work off limiting circumstances they produce code that does not even reference the right services as what happened to us. Our IIS web service servers are set to the highest.

Ciao, Appu

Hi Appu,

Thanks for the suggestion. I didnot use addversion method. I just created the context for version and uploaded the document.

Hello to all,

how to add an attachment with cws ?

Appu Nair

Are you talking in the case of C W S meaning SOAP end points ? and in the case of Workflow Attachments?

You do the same as everywhere else you find the Attachment Node however whether SQL or through WF SOAP ENDPOINTS

I wrote a long time in 2014 a code snippet using C W S

https://appukili.wordpress.com/2014/11/16/workflow-service-example-to-get-a-attachment-id/

the code in the link is lost as OT has retired that forum but I may be able to find it in my google drive but don't want to oblige if it is not needed plus what you have started as a continuation is how you add Documents in livelink using SOAP so whether you call it attachment of File or AddVersion it is one and the same it can also be practiced by using SOAP UI.
