IManWorksite Update methods and problems with APPNAME

rikrak99

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Update methods on IManWorkspace?

There are three:

void Update();
void UpdateAll(string file, ref object errors);
IManProfileUpdateResult UpdateAllWithResults(string file);

The reason I'm asking this is that at the moment I have Windows service code that uses UpdateAllWithResults, but this produces an error in the IManage logs (DmsLog.txt):
SQL State: 22001, Native Error: 8152, Msg: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]String or binary data would be truncated.

This error occurs during the call to UpdateAllWithResults. It looks like a row is being inserted into DOCHISTORY table, but failing because my application's name is 33 characters long, whereas the APPNAME field on DOCHISTORY is only 32 characters long.

So, I suppose I need to be able to change the AppName value that IManage uses, or use a different Update method.

I should point out that I'm new to iManage, and this is not my codebase, so I might be asking a really noddy question here!


Extracted C# code:

//Get database object
m_databse = database;

//Create workspace under first databse among listed Databses
m_workspace = m_databse.CreateWorkspace();

//set workspace's name property
m_workspace.Name = name;

//set workspace's Description property
m_workspace.Description = description;

//Set SubType for WorkSpace
m_workspace.SubType = "WORK";

//Update Workspace information in database
string filePath = Path.GetTempFileName();
m_workspace.UpdateAllWithResults(filePath);

//Delete the temp file from disk
File.Delete(filePath);

RESOLVED!

Ha! I think I've sussed it out...

In order to explicitly set the Application Name value I've used the ApplicationName property on the IManDMS interface:


this._dms = new ManDMS();
this._dms.ApplicationName = "MyApplication";

Without the second line the Application Name would default to the name of the running application, which in my case was 33 characters long. For example : "Company.ProductName.MyApplication"

This caused all sorts of problems with:
IManWorkspace.UpdateAllWithResults()
IManDocument.CheckInWithResults()
IManDocument.Checkout()
