Creating FORM and adding new version via LAPI

[xcerv]

Hello,

I would like to add a FORM object via LAPI and also I would like to add new versions to this form via LAPI.
I mean a form outside of workflow.
Is that possible?

Thanks,
xcerv

You would have to check if the API supports this via the LL_CreateObjectEx method, am sure AppNair will know , if not you may have to extend it to do so, see

http://communities.opentext.com/communities/llisapi.dll/wiki/7967685/How to create a new LAPI API

for a starter on how to do this.

The other option is to use WebServices on newer versions of Livelink/Content Server as LAPI is being discountinued.

Hello Greg,

thanks for the information. Since you mention the services, is it possbile to create and add version of form via the web services? Can you be more specific how?

Thanks a lot,

Old LAPI you would have to install the FormsAPI as well in your lapi to do so.WebForms is not currently supported for OT vended WebServices code but webservices is supposed to be extended by anybody who needs it so if you know oscript you can write your own support for webservices and forms.

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

Hello Appu,

I know it is a question for OT, but do you know if they are going to support the forms in web services in some future version?
Will the Forms API work in the current version of CS10?

Thanks,
xcerv

I expect that they will, WebServices were added to the stack in 9.7.1 and have really been expanded and enhanced in CS10, so look out for future service packs etc. I'd recommend logging a support call / feature request with OT on this so that have the tickets to help drive this up the priority list for the next patch/SP etc.

Creating your own WebService interface is relatively simple to do yourself or you can get someone in for a few days to do it for you.

Hello All.
I want to extend the previous question. Greg has a sample of a tutorial code which creates a new attachment in workflow. I need help with updating the code. I would like to add the created node not as an attachment, but as a new version of exist Node type Form (NodeId as attribute in WF) which is somewhere in Livelink.
My code now creates a new version through lNode.NodeUpdate(formNode, UNDEFINED, False) but this version doesn't have any data from workflow.

blabla, suggest you create a new thread for your question as the topic is not the same as this thread.
