APICORE for CSv16?

Umbelino_Rui

Hi,

I would like to know where can I download the apicore module for Content Server 16.

I'm doing an upgrade from v9.7.1 to v16.x, and have that dependency.

In this picture, I saw that this module is available in v16 too:

Thanks for your support!

The apicore module was removed from the system when LAPI was removed. It is no longer supported and solutions should be changed to web services or ideally in most cases REST interfaces.

If you want to run Enterprise Scan it has some things that uses LAPI to talk to livelink.LAPI was removed from the server Ospace directory

in new builds of 16. the old code in LAPI makes its way as "Remote Bridge Interface". I do not think you need LAPI anymore in LL versions

but you can check with OT as I think Escan is now ready to work without LAPI.

The screenshot proves really nothing it was thrown in to address somethings about Customizations_RT and TW workspaces.

I think I put the screen shot you are quoting.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

As I said, we need to upgrade a v9.7.1 windows to v16.x linux, and initially we are trying to make this as smoothly as possible.

We have an interface, that as some webservices, to communicate with the old LAPI.

Do you know that if we can get this "apicore 16.0.0", in v16, we still can use this interface to communicate with the old LAPI, until we change everything to CWS or Rest API?

-------------------------------

About change the old LAPI to CWS or REST API, maybe we know how can we change this quickly:

On our web services interface, we use something like this to call metods, inside a custom oscript module:

public LLValue GetPOLocations(String authenticationToken) throws Exception {
this.fConnect.initCall("POGetLocations");

this.fConnect.marshall();
this.fConnect.fInArgs.add("AuthenticationToken", authenticationToken);

   this.fConnect.execute(this.fConnect);
   this.fConnect.unMarshall();
   if (this.fConnect.getStatus() != 0) {
        throw new Exception(this.fConnect.getApiError());
   }
   return this.fConnect.fOutArgs.toValue("Locations");
}

In the above example, we are calling the method "POGetLocations", with args "AuthenticationToken", and then return "Locations".

Do you know if we have some service in CWS or REST, that make the same?

Thanks!

For that you should consult the RM/PO/Sec Clearance Web services API

Most people stumble on these because they do not know that the above webservices follow the

standard web services,so theoretically if you are able to do the Doc Management webservices then you should be breezing through it

Content Web Services https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objId=67792619&objAction=browse&viewType=1 SOAP on Client/Oscript internal

RM Specific Area https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/llisapi.dll?func=ll&objid=67816547&objaction=location&nexturl=%2Fknowledge%2Fllisapi%2Edll%3Ffunc%3Dll%26objId%3D63425745%26objAction%3Dbrowse%26viewType%3D1

PhysObjGetAllLocators( )

looks probably what you are after

If you know Oscript as you say the baove code one can write what is missing or even get the logic of the old lapi code and see if you can make up if something was missing.Both REST and SOAP OT says are written to be extended by Oscript.

What I gave was just an example, because we have other different methods that doesn't exists in CWS or Rest API, because they are very especific.

It wasn't our team that made that methods, or decided to use the old LAPI, so we are trying to find a solution that can be made easily, without break any current funcionality.

If we don't have, in CWS or Rest API, something that can be used to call methods inside OScript, this will not be an easy task for sure, right?

Thanks.

If I understand what you are asking you are basically asking if Oscript can call API's that OT intends other language(C++,C#,Java,SOAP,REST) integrators could use

yes it can be done.AFAIK when OT publishes a public facing API,there is final logic inside them that calls Oscript API's.In fact a SOAP API or REST Api starts out as an addressable piece of code within

Oscript.We all write Oscript then jump through hoops many times to write SOAP extensions.I think REST is probably easier I just haven't tried it yet.

In fact lot of things that the Public API's can't provide Oscript can provide that is if you know how to find them

so there's an irony in Oscript calling SOAP code internally.

But SOAP and REST are more documented and you will find more organization,parameters etc so I used this method in many of my Oscript projects.

OT published a PDF document that you can use and check your running code against which kind of codifies something like this

If you were using CreateObjectEx in LAPI kindly use this SOAP or this REST method now...

You should find the differences document in this KB very prominently..

If you find my explanation inadequate open a ticket with OT support they will be able to provide better solutions than forum members.

Hi Rui,

The real problem I see is that you have waited that long to make an upgrade, so that the overlapping period that both webservices and lapi could be used has passed.

I propose that you involve somebody from Open Text or one of our partners to have a look at the LAPI calls used and make a plan on how to upgrade them to CS 16.

I hope the plan is to upgrade to 16.2.x and not to a 16.0 version.

Kind regards,

Hans Stoop
