Extracting documents from a project

[rxl111]

How can I extract documents out of project subtype using api? Does nodecrawler handle?

nodecrawler is an oscript object and will crawl projects without any problem.As far as I know it is not available to LAPI.if you are well versed in oscript take a look at how you will write your own api in communities.opentext.com there should be an article written by Louis Routhier how you would do that.Otherwise when you encounter a project convert the heagtive dataid into positive and iterate using lapi list objects.I have posted a piece of code in communities.opentext.com where I handle projects as well it is I belive called GetNodePath.

I posted too soon and I wanted to see if thru lapi if you did an xmlexport whether it would crawl decsndants as well.if it does then you could probably use that some how.

there are a variety of ways of doing this depending on what you are after.

If you are just after the documents then you could just create some SQL or a simple iterative LAPI program to process it.

If you need permissions, audit etc then you may need something more complex such as Causeway's Project Import/Export -

or one of the many similar tools.

I use nodecrawler to process each folder and that works fine, but as an example, when it runs on a folder with a project which has documents, the nodecrawler only returns the parent folder and the project object, no documents or other objects within the project. If nodecrawler run on regular folder with documents it returns all nodes within that folder.

that is not the behaviour that I have seen using the nodecrawler object.Could you post how you are creating the object is it by the lliapi.nodecrawler nodecrawlerobject new's GetNode object ? or are you using a crawler call back object as well.

Actually I have had to write code inside the parentNode and VolumeNode to exclude projects being crawled .
