Question

I've been looking long and hard at documentation and have been googling non-stop but I am falling short.

I am using the OpenText Content Server Search API.

My goal: I would like to be able to fetch a file via URL, e.g. livelinkhost.mycompany.com?func=doc.fetch&nodeid=3670464"

HOWEVER, I would like to be able to grab that individual file's data stored in its Category section and output it as XML using &outputformat=xml

The documentation makes it seem like this is not possible and I feel I am perhaps missing something/going about it the wrong way, using the wrong API etc...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks :).

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can get the category/attribute information as XML with the following:

?func=ll&objId=3670464&objAction=xmlexport&attributeinfo=true

XMLExport supports a few other parameters, but that's the minimum for getting the category information.

OTHER TIPS

Why dont you use the web service API provided by the OpenText for the Livelink Content Server? It is very simple to do for those kind of things.
