DMS Integration and Aris Scripting (how to upload files)

Hello Rafael,

first navigate to aris.softwareag.com to download the DMS Add-on and the DMS documentation

http://aris.softwareag.com/ARISDownloadCenter/ADCCart?downloadfile=ARIS724_DBMS_759374.zip&downloadfileindex=132&fileSize=71.24%20KB&groupname=ARIS%20Platform%207.2.x&protocol=http&path=smb://aris.softwareag.com/ARIS_Download_Center/released/ARIS_720/DBMS/ARIS724_DBMS_759374.zip&buildversion=7.2.4.759374&dlanguage=null

Use the "DMSIntegration" component in ARIS script to access the DMS API methods:

var dmscomponent = Context.getComponent("DMSIntegration");

Regards,

Jens

Hello Jens,

First of all, thank you very much for your help.

This link you give me is for download the dbms scripts for setup a external database, like Oracle or others. I saw that exists a zip with the dms documentation, but I can't find it. Would you give me it?.

I found the DMS API (DMSIntegration) description. Can you give me an example of dms connection with ARIS scripting?.

Best regards,

Rafa.

Ok the link is not working. Try this link:

http://aris.softwareag.com/ARISDownloadCenter?groupname=ARIS%20Platform%207.2.x&language=en

Search in the list for "ARIS Document Management System" and download the ZIP.

And here is an example how to connect to a DMS system within script:

var dmscomponent = Context.getComponent("DMSIntegration");
var availableSystems = dmscomponent.getAvailableDMSSystems();
var testSystem = availableSystems.get(0);
dmscomponent.connectToDMS(testSystem, "", "");

Regards,

Jens

In addtion to the further post.

Sorry, the DMS documentation is no longer available on ARIS download center. 

Hi,

The connection with DMS seem that runs ok using your code. Once I'm connected I use the writeToDMS function to upload a document to the DMS.

I don't know how to pass the first parameter to the function.

This is my code:

 var dmscomponent = Context.getComponent("DMSIntegration"); 
 var availableSystems = dmscomponent.getAvailableDMSSystems(); 
 var testSystem = availableSystems.get(0); 
 var miconexion = dmscomponent.connectToDMS(testSystem, "dmadmin", "dmadmin");  
 
 // Get file from client
 var selectedFiles = Dialogs.getFilePath(null, "DOC files|*.doc||", null, "Seleccionar archivo", 0);
 if(selectedFiles==null){
        Dialogs.MsgBox("Please, select a file.");
 }
 
 var miresultwrite=dmscomponent.writeToDMS (selectedFiles[0].getData(), 'Prueba upload mi manual', '/demo/cesar/' );

Thank you.

The first parameter has to be a java.io.File object.

Look at this example.

/**
    * Creates a new version of a already exisiting document when there is a valid document ID {documentID} 
    * If the document ID {documentID} is null a new document is created in the path specified in parameter {filepath}
    * @param {String} filepath The path of the file from the client to upload
    * @param {String} filename The filename of the file from the client to upload 
    * @param {String} documentType The DMS document type
    * @param {String} dmspath The DMS path where to save the document in the DMS path structure
    * @param {String} checkInComment The DMS checkin comment for the new version of the document
    * @param {String} versionKind The kind of version (minor / major ) as com.idsscheer.aris.cltech.common.core.dmsintegration.DMSVersionKind constant
    * @param {String} documentID The ID of the document in the DMS
    * @return {DMSFileItem}
    */  
    this.uploadVersion = function( filepath, filename, documentType, dmsPath, checkInComment, versionKind, documentID ) {
        if( this.isConnected() ) {
            var fileItemObject = new Packages.com.idsscheer.aris.cscommon.dmsintegration.data.ADMSFileItem();
            var versionOptions = new Packages.com.idsscheer.aris.cscommon.dmsintegration.data.ADMSVersionCreationOptions();
            
            var file = new Packages.java.io.File(filepath, filename); 
            
            //var dmsFileItem = m_DMSComponent.getMetadata ( dmsPath, filename, documentType );            
            
            if( documentID == null || documentID == "" ) {
                var dmsFileItem = m_DMSComponent.readFromDMS ( dmsPath, filename, documentType, documentID );
                //create new file and upload the file to DMS       
                return m_DMSComponent.writeToDMS ( file, documentType, dmsPath );                               
            }
            var dmsFileItem = m_DMSComponent.readFromDMS ( "", "", documentType, documentID );
            if( dmsFileItem == null ) {
                //invalid documentID found
                var dmsFileItem = m_DMSComponent.readFromDMS ( dmsPath, filename, documentType, "" );
                //create new file and upload the file to DMS       
                return m_DMSComponent.writeToDMS ( file, documentType, dmsPath );                   
            }
                                            
            versionOptions.setVersionKind(versionKind);       
            versionOptions.setCheckinComment(checkInComment);
            fileItemObject.setName(filename);
            fileItemObject.setGuid( dmsFileItem.getGuid() );
            
            var dmsVersion =  m_DMSComponent.createVersion(fileItemObject, file, versionOptions);
            return m_DMSComponent.getMetadata ( dmsPath, filename, documentType );
        }
        return null;
    }

Hi,

I tried create folders with createNewFolder method and to move files from one folder to other in DMS and runs Ok, but I can't upload files using java.io.File with readFromDMS method, I obtain a null pointer exception and all seems ok.

This is my code:

 var dmscomponent = Context.getComponent("DMSIntegration");
 var availableSystems = dmscomponent.getAvailableDMSSystems();
 var testSystem = availableSystems.get(0);
 var miconexion = dmscomponent.connectToDMS(testSystem, "dmadmin", "dmadmin"); 
 var miFile = new Packages.java.io.File("c:\\a\\","Informe.pdf");


 if (miFile.exists())
 {   
  if (miFile.canRead())
  {     
   var miLogitud = miFile.length();   
   var miprueba= dmscomponent.writeToDMS(miFile, 'prueba', '/demo/myfolder/');
  }  

In the log file 'contentrepository.log' this is the error:

2013-04-22T18:03:50,452  com.idsscheer.contentrepository.core.exception.helper.CRExceptionHelper.handleNoSuchObjectException

I don't know what's the problem, I don't see differences between your code.

Best regards.
