There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello Experts ,

I would like to do versioning for document via Object Importer and for this i used <node type="Document" action="AddVersion"> tag but I don't see any option to pass version number in the in XML.

Ex- if we need to upload version 3 and then 2 then is there any tag which can add in XML for version number.

Do we have any option to give version number for document in XML?

I tried the below tag but it's it's not work with our requirement . Kindly advice for same.

Regards

Amol

Out of Curiosity, you are planning to use OI on OTCS(livelink) right? Not aware of Livelink doing that.OI follows its core DMS principles, If you go to a Document and say 'Add Version', does that interface allow you to give a version number? I doubt if it is there. It is a calculated field Version 1 Initial,2nd,3rd and so on if someone goes and deletes version 7 from a stack of 16 you cannot replace version 7. OT allows noncontiguous placements. Usually, people who need this kind of "Business Rules" would create a Category and a field called VersionNum and perhaps you can store it as a metadata point. Compound Documents is a Container that allows the user to specify the order of how one sees it and you can specify certain things like Releases and Revisions.

AFAIK OI can be changed to do this but then you probably will be changing the rules of engagement and will go out if support . That is what I think
