Created and Modified Dates in LL 9.7.1

[oscript]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the created and / or the modified date of a document when adding it using web services (Java but C# example would do) into Livelink ? It seems an obvious requirement and the call exists but it seems to be ignored. Any enlightenment much appreciated !

The call to change a create date is prohibited in standard interfaces because livelink treats the creation of the node in its system as the createdate.The standard way to accomplish your requirement is to put a category and store legacy dates there.Out of all the tools that OT makes Object Importer is the only interface that allows you to back date/post date the creation but that is only for the time being one is told.

Since the webservices is oscript internally a oscript programmer can effectively change the logic of the OT vended code but think if you can accommodate your requirement by using a category date.

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

Seems a shame that the methods exist for both modified and created dates but is not allowed without modification but I guess that's life . Thank you for the reply appnair.
