Unable to upload content using CreateDocument function

Atiya_Sultana

Hi,

We are using the below method to upload the content in CS10 (version CS10.5 SP1 2018-3).

docManClient.CreateDocument(ref documentManagementAuthenticationToken, node.ID, attach.FileName, newComment, false, metadata, attach);

Please advise.

Thanks,

Atiya

Hi Atiya,

Do all items fail, with this, or just some, over X KB in size?

You are using the buffered method, which is only really applicable to very small files, as it jams all the contents of the "attach" into the body of a POST request (yes, I know it sounds odd, but this essentially means your webserver config is the problem 99% of the time, here).

I would suggest you look at streaming, using MTOM, via the ContentService, instead: https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/fetch/-15106263/15106294/15106295/17990637/62345549/upload_C%23.html

However, if you don't have a choice in the matter, look to the web.config file if you're on IIS, in OTHOME\webservices\dotnet\cws\web.config.

Configure the maximum sizes of the appropriate elements, and depending on where the issue lies, you may need to uncomment:

 </httpModules>
    <!-- Set the maximum file upload size (in kilobytes).  The default is 4096 KB (4 MB).  NOTE: 2097151 KB = 2 GB -->
        <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151"/>
        
  </system.web>

 

Or increase:

 

        <binding name="DocumentManagementBinding" maxReceivedMessageSize="1024000" messageEncoding="Text" transferMode="Buffered">
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
          </security>
        </binding>

 

To something like:

 

        <binding name="DocumentManagementBinding" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text" transferMode="Buffered">
          <security mode="None">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
          </security>
        </binding>
