Create Copy of DCR With OpenAPI

briscoe

I want to copy an existing DCR and give it a new DCR name using OpenAPI but not sure how to do this. I was able to make a copy of the DCR with IWFileHandle but then NOT able to edit the data record since its type is a file and not DCR. Can you add a DCR with OpenAPI?

Thx

If you just copy the file contents, then Templating won't recognize the copy as a DCR because it won't have the necessary Extended Attributes. You probably need to apply the proper EA's to the copy.

Hope this helps.

Thanks James

This does help. I assume that OpenAPI supports adding the Extended Attributes after I create the DCR copy.

Thanks again

Below is the code sniplet that updates an Extended Attribute just in case someone wants to reference.

Thanks,

IWSimpleFile sf = (IWSimpleFile) IWPathNamedObject.lookupByPath(fileSysService, tmpPath + "/" + fileName);

if( sf == null )
{
sf = dir.createChildSimpleFile(fileSysService, fileName, null, null, "LiveWoven Export");
}

if( sf == null )
{
logFile.Print("IWOpenAPI:ExportFileExAttr", "Could Not Create File - " + fileName + " In Export Path - " + tmpPath, "ERROR");
return false;
}

// Set Extended Attribute
sf.setVarValue fileSysService, "TeamSite/Templating/DCR/Type", "Category/Content Type");
