Creating association using CSSDK.

gomathiharidoss

We have a custom workflow using CSSDK,
1.It copies the attached .page file to a different location(Page B Location) within the workarea
2. Updates the DCR datums path to (DCR B Location). This is achieved by File content replacement in the .page file
3. Deletes old associations and creates new association for the DCR datums.

When we change the underlying Template, and give for an UPDATE in Page(Page B Location), The changes done(New DCRS for DCR datums) through workflow are reverted to default template datum values.


If we do the process manually(Copy the .page file, edit the DCR datum), Template update does not affect the new DCR relations.

What are we missing in the workflow? How the relationship between component and a DCR is maintained in page level?

Disclaimer: modifing .page XML is unsupported, so you know..

What you're probably missing is the Changed="true" attribute on your <Datum> when you programatically change its value from the default. The component update process looks for this to determine whether there's a customized value to preserve -- it doesn't actually compare the value against the default in the template.
