Is it possible to get the non-latest iteration of a document using List-ContentItems? I am using search-objects to get version B.1 which is in a state of released, but there is a B.2 that is inwork. I am then call List-ContentItems with that document which has an obid that starts with OR:. The List-ContentItems task returns the VR: version of the document which appears to be the version identifier, representing all iterations of the document, rather than the OR version, or Object Version of the document, representing a specific iteration of the document I am passing into the List-Content items webject. I am trying to get the content for the non-latest iteration of a document.

Haven't tried it myself.. but from the documentation it looks like it should work.

When you call List-ContentItems, where are you passing the result from Search-Objects?

Yes, that is what I am doing, The problem is it is giving me the VR object back, which is the revision, encompassing all iterations in that revision instead of the OR object which represents a specific iteration within a revision of that object.

Yeah, that's why I was asking to what parameter in List-ContentItems are you passing the Search-Objects result? It looks like it can take many different parameters. 

 

OBJECT_REF looks like it would be use a unique ID. 

 

If you use WHERE and TYPE you'd have to make sure your query in WHERE returns the unique item.

This basically what I am running. Search-Objects returns the OR object, but when I pass that into List-ContentItems I get back the VR object.

<ie:webject name="Search-Objects" type="OBJ">
