How do you attach and then update an existing category with CWS which is associated with a project o

I would like to see some CWS code examples of how to attach an existing category to a project (subtype 202) or a document in a CS16 installation. Then populate the attached category attributes using CWS. The categories are created through the CS16 UI -- not through custom code.

Thanks in advance.

I did a lot of these snippet https://appukili.wordpress.com/2014/04/16/so-you-want-to-change-categoriesattributes-of-a-object-in-livelink-via-cws/

It's not that difficult once you understand that a Category is an AttributeGroup and a array of categories are AttributeGroups)

If you take the starter code in OT which shows you the creation of Category and the application of it,if you look closely it just needs to find a Definition and then set the

category Data structure correctly on it.

CWS should not change in just 16.2 I think.

Hi Loren,

Here are a couple of KBAs I had published back in my support days, that may give you some help:

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/kcs/kbarticle/view/KB5217010

https://knowledge.opentext.com/knowledge/cs.dll/kcs/kbarticle/view/KB6207915

Pardon the formatting, looks like my whitespaces had been stripped. It's a bit hard to read, so many a copy and paste is in order.

For the first KBA, I think I also wrote a Java variant, if you need to write in that language.

ValidValues being that category attribute values that populate a pop-up list's drop-down values.

Thanks,

Nizar
