Hi All,

I am facing issue to update the existing category attribute Table lookup key value.Can any one suggest me using LAPI.

Thanks in Advance..

if you are talking about the control object that takes a sql statement to produce the values i doubt if they are coded in lapi.
Perhaps websvcs may have it. If you are talking about the hardcoded list one puts in like 'Yes','No','Maybe' then lapi can
change its values.
why use lapi to do it because it is more easy to do it with sql?

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?

You seem a little puzzled or I am . There are two different things.One is a category object subtype 131 that is used as a model or template to metadata.In livelink it is called a category and its individual leaves attributes.If one of the attributes pulls its values from a table then that attribute is a table key value.If that attribute has to change then usually one uses the GUI to change it.It is a system administration chore.no lapicode exits nor is it necessary in my opinion.

Case #2-You take the first object and "APPLY" it to documents(144),Folders(0) and such like .So people can use livelink's search on it.Now if a user wants to change the "AVAILABLE VALUES" they can use the GUI or any programming avenue like LAPI or websvcs. Lapi is old and deprecated so why use it?

CWS way of changing attribute values

In my opinion you should code in websvcs

Thank you.those links helps me alot.
I am using because of minimal changes if we use LAPI instead of setting up the webservices.
Thank you.

Thank you.Can I have sample code to update category attribute value using websvcs?

I am pretty sure most of us developers use the above link to find what is needed for this task.Nobody will point you to exact code for your acquirement so spend some time in researching .OT code is not as freely available but people like me and Greg and mostly others in the forum tries to encourage the world not to be scared of it.It is highly unusual that your post indicates that nothing useful could be found form the above links.Is the specifics of your task that is keeping you form trying to set up websvcs and trying small things?
