I am beginner in Documentum yet (all I have now is Documentum Developer Edition); so advice from an experienced Documentum developer will be very helpful. I need to create a program (on .NET) that will be monitoring specified Documentum Content Server looking for situation ‘property XXX in an object of certain type has changed its value to YYY’.
More detailed example: my program monitors dm_document objects to detect situation ‘a_status has changed its value to ToBeExportedOutside’. After this the program retrieves the document and then exports it to another document management system.
Another example: my program monitors dm_document objects to detect situation ‘the document has been promoted to state ToBeExportedOutside in lifecycle it is attached to’. After this the program retrieves the document and then exports it to another document management system.
The question is: how it is better to do it using DFS? Using DFS, or BFOs, or what?
case 1 :
Moniotor a_status has changed its value to 'ToBeExportedOutside' by using the DQL:
select object_id, r_modify_date from dm_document(all) where a_status = 'ToBeExportedOutside' and r_modify_date > date('01/01/2000') order by r_modify_date
case 2 :
Export the content or document from old dms to new dms:
first you have to create a new custom type in new dms by inherit the super types.
Then use api setfile, session, newdms objectID, location or path. And then change the a_status to export completed in old dms for the attribute in dm_document.
It sounds like a simple query might do the trick.
Schedule your program to run periodically (possibly as a method). When it starts, have it find work with a select along the lines of:
select object_id, r_modify_date
from dm_document(all)
where a_status = 'ToBeExportedOutside'
and r_modify_date > date('01/01/2000')
order by r_modify_date
Do your export and save the last r_modify_date used. (You'll use that date later in place of the hard-coded '01/01/2000' date in the example.) If documents are changed without creating a new version, you'll want your program to change a_status to mark the export complete.
You could likely do all this with DFS. But, I'm old school, and still using DFC.

I am testing the azure-devops-migration-tools and have create a project using https://azuredevopsdemogenerator.azurewebsites.net/ (Parts Unlimited). I have generated the configuration.json and changed the Source and Target so I can test a migration, but I'm getting errors while migrating Work Items.
[15:14:41 ERR] Error running query
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.ValidationException: TF51005: The query references a field that does not exist. The error is caused by «ReflectedWorkItemId».
I've tried different options on the "ReflectedWorkItemIDFieldName" field, Scrum, Basic, Agile, Custom, empty but am still unable to migrate the work items.
How can I get the value to put on this field for the specific project?
Thanks,
Bruno
Quick Solution: Most ADO instances use the prefix 'custom' for new fields. Try "Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId" in your configuration.json to see if that resolves the problem.
More details: It's hard to tell without an actual configuration.JSON file to review. One possible problem is that you need to use the actual and full internal 'Name' of the ReflectedWorkItemID field. This doesn't show in ADO, or the Process Template when created. The recommendation is that you create a query referencing your custom field, and export the WIQL file (query file). Once you export the WIQL file, you can then open the file and see the full syntax of the custom field.
Exporting Queries: If you don't know how to do this, it can be done with VisualStudio. If you don't know how to do that, you can install this extension. It's a handy WIQL import/Export and editor. Install, and your ADO Queries with have an Edit in WIQL Editor option. Create a query that exposes your 'ReflectedWorkItemID' as a column, then edit that query in the WIQL editor and see the full names of the Reflected Work Items ID Feild. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ottostreifel.wiql-editor
SELECT
[System.Id],
[System.WorkItemType],
[System.Title],
[System.AssignedTo],
[System.ChangedBy],
[Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId]
FROM workitems
WHERE ...
I found a possible solution. I have created a custom process, change the process from the projects to this new one and add a new field. This is the field I'm using on the configuration.json and now I'm able to migrate work items
To make the migration in the "ReflectedWorkItemIDFieldName" you must do:
"Organization Settings" -> Process -> Select the process where you project are (Basic, Scrum, Agil, or CMMI).
then click on the 3 dots and create a new Inherited process.
Then with the inherited process, you are able to create a new field for each work item type. The name that you type (could be "IronMan") that name will be in your configuration file.
I am currently making an app on apex.oracle.com, and I've been trying to solve this for a couple hours now, but I have no idea how to.
Alright, so basically my application has custom authentication based on a user table I created inside of my application. Therefore, it seems to render useless most APEX_UTIL functions to retrieve info on the current user. The issue is, I am trying to find a way to store the user's numeric ID from my table in the session, so I could retrieve it directly in the queries throughout my application, in order to do something like WHERE id = :MEMBER_ID instead of WHERE UPPER(username) = UPPER(:APP_USER).
Now, the way I attempted to do this is by creating a Post Authentication procedure that retrieves the user ID based on the username, and stores that value in the session using APEX_UTIL.SET_SESSION_STATE( p_name => 'MEMBER_ID', p_value => member_id ). However, it seems that SET_SESSION_STATE is unable to create custom session values or something, returning an ERR-1002 every time I use a value name that isn't specifically mentioned in the documentation.
I am a total newbie to APEX so I am probably unaware of something, however I have done many searches, but I could not find anything specifically related to my issue.
Thanks a lot if you can help.
You're trying to store a value into an item, whether page or application level. This requires that the item with that name exists in one of those scopes. So, do you have an item somewhere that is called MEMBER_ID?
I'd suggest you create one in the application scope. Go through Shared Components > Application items. Once created, you should be able to assign a value either through apex_util.set_session_state or with bind variable syntax eg :MEMBER_ID := somevariable;
There are a number of ways you can do this. Some have already been suggested in other answers.
Application Item (as per Tom's answer)
PL/SQL package global (as per hol's answer) - although you'd have to reset it for each call (e.g. by adding code to the application's Security Attribute Initialization PL/SQL Code and clearing it by adding code to Cleanup PL/SQL Code).
Globally Accessible Context - this method, while a little more complex, has some benefits especially for security and debugging. I've described it here: http://jeffkemponoracle.com/2013/02/28/apex-and-application-contexts/, but basically:
Create a globally accessible context:
CREATE OR REPLACE CONTEXT MY_CONTEXT USING MY_PACKAGE ACCESSED GLOBALLY;
In the post-authentication procedure (in the database package MY_PACKAGE), you can store the data you wish to keep track of, e.g.
DBMS_SESSION.set_context
(namespace => 'MY_CONTEXT'
,attribute => 'MEMBER_ID'
,value => '12345whatever'
,client_id => v('APP_USER') || ':' || v('APP_SESSION'));
(note the caveats in my blog article and the subsequent comments from others about CLIENT_IDENTIFIER not being reliably set at the post-auth stage)
In your views, code, etc. you can access the MEMBER_ID by simply referring to SYS_CONTEXT('MY_CONTEXT','MEMBER_ID').
User is selecting rather hefty single XML files via an NSOpenPanel. The application is making moderate changes to the file so I'd like to include an option of creating a backup in a subfolder based on the directory the original file was selected. Creating the new subfolder is no problem but does anybody have a good way to to create a backup of said foo.xml, is there a practice for such thing or is it as simple as creating a duplicate and renaming it foo.back01.xml?
Not sure, how much this Approach will fit with your requirement, but this is what i was doing,
-- Have a directory in the Temporary folder of the System : Assuming once the Application is closed all this files will be deleted,
-- To have the uniqueness in the file, generate file name with following pattern , have a function say [+(NSString *) generateFileNameForExtension:(NSString *)extension Create:(bool)bCreate]
Assuming input is .xml and false , it might give fileName something like this,
AppName128908765445.xml , i.e. [AppName][UTCTimeStamp].[Fileextension]
-- Once you think its done, there could be Function call [self addToDeleteList:(NSString *)fileName] which will add a file to delete list,
-- There would be a function, which shall invoke a timer for 1 minute and every one minute it will read all the files gets added into delete list then delete it.
Will share the code with you if needed...
In Logging Application Block in Logger.Write it takes event id as one of the parameter which is integer.So how to decide what should be passed as event id?
btw, do you really need to use the eventId? I think you can just pass the string you want to log:-
Logger.Write("SomeMessage");
EDIT :- I meant there should be another overload which takes just the string you want to write.
EDIT :- From here :-
EventId - a value you can use to
further categorise Log Entries
(defaults to 0 for a LogEntry and to 1
for a LogEntry implicitly created by
Logger.Write);
What we do is gather the different "stories" that you want to report on and then assign a sequence of event IDs to each of those stories. So in short, come up with a system that works for you and document it for future reference.
My application has 5 plugins. Each plugin has a perspective of it's own and hence each perspective extension definition is under individual plugin's plugin.xml.
Now, I want to control the order in which these perspectives appear in my application. How to do it?
There is one main plugin that holds "ApplicationWorkBenchAdvisor.java". This has initialize() method in which I am iterating through the perspective registry using
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getPerspectiveRegistry().getPerspectives();
and then appending perspective ids in a comma separated fashion to a String variable (pbar) which is used later like this.
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setDefault(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS, pbar);
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().setValue(IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS, pbar);
When iterating thourgh the perspective registry, I can compare perspective ids and sort it(when adding to 'pbar' by comparing ids) the way I want it to appear but, I don't want to do this ordering here as it appears like a dirty way.
Is there any other place where we can fix the order in which perspectives appear? (Each perspective resides in different plugin).
ADDED
1) Could we also control the ordering in the perspective switcher?
2) Is there a way to control entry into perspective registry to in inflict the desired order. If not could we write back into perspective registry?
If your application is encapsulated as an eclipse product, you may tweak the plugin.properties/plugin_customization.ini file.
(file referenced by the 'preferenceCustomization' property in your product extension point.)
This file is a java.io.Properties format file. Typically this file is used to set the values for preferences that are published as part of a plug-in's public API.
(Example of such a file for org.eclipse.platform)
So if the string representing the order of perspective can be referenced as a property, you can define the default order in there.
Since the source code of IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants mentions:
/**
* Lists the extra perspectives to show in the perspective bar.
* The value is a comma-separated list of perspective ids.
* The default is the empty string.
*
* #since 3.2
*/
public static final String JavaDoc PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS = "PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS"; //$NON-NLS-1$
Maybe a line in the plugin_customization.ini file:
org.eclipse.ui/PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS=perspectiveId1,perspectiveId2,perspectiveId3
would allow you to specify that order without having to hard-code it.
Additional notes:
IPerspectiveRegistry (or PerspectiveRegistry) is not made to write anything (especially for perspective defined in an extension)
Ordering may be found in the state of the workbench (stored in the workspace and then restored when its launched again, .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.ui.workbench/workbench.xml)
Do you confirm that:
IPerspectiveRegistry registry = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getPerspectiveRegistry();
IPerspectiveDescriptor[] perspectives = registry.getPerspectives();
is not in the right order when the plugin_customization.ini does define that order correctly ?
Liverpool 5 - 0 Aston Villa does confirm that (in the comments), but also indicates the (ordered) ini file entries internally get recorded into preference store, which means they can be retrieved through the preference store API:
PatformUI.getPreferenceStore().getDefault(
IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS)
Liverpool 5 - 0 Aston Villa then add:
perspective registry (the initial "PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getPerspectiveRegistry().getPerspectives();" bit) remains unaltered (and unordered).
But, you still can "readily access to ordered list of perspectives" through preference store.
So, for other tasks, instead of iterating though perspective registry (which is still unordered), we can use the ordered variable that stores list of ordered perpective ids.
.
.
.
.
Note: another possibility is to Replace the Perspective-Switcher in RCP apps
=> to:
You can more easily define the order in a menu or in buttons there.
Extreme solution: re-implement a perspective switcher.
To sum up all the observations and findings,
1) It is not possible to alter entries in the perspective registry. It is read-only.
2) To make perspective appear in the order that we want on perspective bar, we can achieve it by adding an entry in plugin_customization.ini (or preferences.ini) as shown below.
org.eclipse.ui/PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS=perspectiveId1,perspectiveId2,perspectiveId3
3) If we want to fetch this ordered list, we can't fetch it directly. But as this ini file entry internally gets recorded in PreferenceStore we can fetch the same value from PreferenceStore using the following API as shown below.
PlatformUI.getPreferenceStore().getDefault(
IWorkbenchPreferenceConstants.PERSPECTIVE_BAR_EXTRAS);
Why would someone need to access the entry defined in ini file at all?
Well, in my case I had a view in which i had to display links to every perspective. As my perspective bar was sorted in desired order, I also wanted to maintain the same order in my view while displaying links to perspectives.
4) There is no known way to inflict the same sort order in the display of default perspective switcher. While a new custom perspective switcher can be written to achieve the desired effect.
