API endpoint to create cross-reference (XReference)

Vladimir Stanisic

Greetings,

Is it possible to create cross-reference (XReference) with API?

I've looked into the API specifications, but was unable to find it..

Thank you, Vlad

Many OT Content Suite add on modules bring XREF's so RM is a module that adds it, XECM Engineering has its XREF's and so on

Here is an API for RM https://developer.opentext.com/apis/a1cf71e9-0828-482f-a497-b2a02e1d80bb/Records%20Management%2021.1#tag/Xrefs

so depending on what kind of XREF is what you are after you may have to chase it down in a different way :)

If an app has a lot of usages like RM then an integral product called WR will have a convenient tag or people create the tag. It is easier than trying to do that in SOAP or REST .SOAP or CWS is the other older API and I think its RM API had the XREFs as well.

This particulars XREF should connect files inside a folder in CS. To be more precise - email message file (.msg) and attachment file(s) referencing to that particular mail file (.pdf, .docx, etc,...)

So, I believe API for RM is not suitable here..

Thanks Appu!

the Screencap shows RECMAN in the URL which is what I meant, your system is having cross-references from RM, even though the RM product introduces it that is good enough for any kind of system usage. For e.g, this is used when you have a physical Item( like a Box, Rock, DNA Sample, Oil Sample) and since you cannot scan them electronically a PO Object is created and an electronic record is crosslinked. The purpose of XREFS is for you to model.CAD product has its XREF which means sometimes the main record is a drawing and you may want to link its layered drawings for something else.A few XREFS I have come across :)

You also can use simple References which is OOB also if a email object had an attachment then CS integrally knows who is the email body and who is the attachment ( Both compound email and normall email you put through EC)

Thank you Appu,

Great to hear that RM could be used!

I am not familiar what "OOB" means.. Out Of Band? If yes, that is some independent / separate way..?

@Vladimir Stanisic OOB means Out Of the Box / without customisation.
