GetVersionContents - is versionNum compulsory?

Content server 10.5 SP1, CWS

According to XSD, VersionNum is compulsory (minOccurs="1"), however request can be processed without VersionNumber element. Is it an error in XSD.

Definition:

-<xs:element name="GetVersionContents">

-<xs:complexType>
-<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="ID" type="xs:long" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1"/>
<xs:element name="versionNum" type="xs:long" maxOccurs="1" c/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Request without versionNumber can be processed successfully.

<urn1:GetVersionContents>

</urn1:GetVersionContents>

Can anyone advise on this?

Hi Huazhen,

I'm not sure I know the motivation for your question (or at least for what you're pointing out). The documentation for GetVersion

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/fetch/-15106263/15106294/15106295/17990637/45500683/javadoc/com/opentext/livelink/service/docman/DocumentManagement_JAXWS.html#getVersion(long,%20long)

shows that it does take two arguments, one of which is the version number. And you've determined that when omitting that argument it apparently continues to work as expected. While that might be an implementation detail, not at odds with the interface spec, is that useful to you?

Perhaps you're looking for a way to call GetVersion to get the current version without knowing the number of that version. If so you'll want to take advantage of special numbers 0,-1,-2 as used by the underlying GetVersion of DAPI:

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll/fetch/-15106263/15106294/15106295/16376487/62419964/42329092/documentation/dapi.html#cm_dapi_getversion

In short: just pass 0 for a version number to get a document's current version.

Hope this helps,
