Content Web Services - How to get DocumentIds based on a search criteria

HARI_KUMAR_KOTHAPALLI

Hi,

How do I get the list of document ids based on a sear criteria(Attribute values)? I am able to download a document using document id but I am looking for a way to get the list of documents based on a search criteria.

Ex: I have invoice #, Date and Store Number (These attributes are configured in the content server).

Based on the Invoice# how do I get the document id? (Each Invoice details are stored as a text file that is associated with a document Id). Once I have the document id for the respective invoice, I can download the document using document id through DownloadContent method of content service.

Steps Performed:

1, Used Authentication service to Authenticate the user and received the Authentication Token-- Successful

Method: AuthenticateUser

2. Got the contextId based on the hardcoded document id that belongs to an invoice#

Method: GetVersionContentsContext(oAuthToken,DocumentId)

3. Downloaded the document using the context id

 

My question: How do we get the list of document ids based on a search criteria.

Appreciate your help.

To me your question looks like some integration(SAP) trying to tag objects in livelink 

for e.g your question "

To the livelink server one of the way might be to use the Search Of livelink,

another way might be to use the Facet Tables/Column Tables if they exist

another way might be to use the  LLAttrData for that specific category/categories in question.

I would go to the livelink GUI based on the metadata(category)  of the object you know

Using Advanced Search I would add the Category,put the attributes you want,narrow it to an approximate location

If it works perhaps time to make it a template or a saved query.Now that object can be used to run from programs

minus the html stuff etc that you may not be interested.

If the organization is unable to provide me a proper livelink search avenue I would explore others(Docman.List*  is a collection of commands...)

Als touch base with the SAP programming side of the Livelink house.The ECMLink API.RCS/ELS all have abstracted a lot of info

pretending livelink to be a black box,so if you start doing things on the LL side you missing the woods for the trees.

Well, if I called the wrongnumber, why did you answer the phone?
