Checking the Primary Content Extension of Document in windchill Workflow

[jayk]

Hi,

Do anyone aware how to check the primary content extension of document, where document is created and processed only  if the primary content is of .ppt or .pptx extension or to throw a exception saying to upload the PrimaryContent as .ppt or .pptx extension and proceed with Document Creation through Workflow, Instead of any customization of FormProcessor's.

Thanks in Advance

Hello,

you can use following code to check primary content file extension. 

This code could be used in a transition as a Complete Task 

 Alert message is shown to user if he tries to complete a wf task. 

//primary object has to be type wtDocument
wt.doc.WTDocument wtDoc = (wt.doc.WTDocument) wt.content.ContentHelper.service.getContents((wt.doc.WTDocument) primaryBusinessObject);
wt.content.ContentItem docContent = wtDoc.getPrimary();
if (docContent instanceof  wt.content.ApplicationData)
{
 //get filename of primary content
 java.lang.String filename = (( wt.content.ApplicationData) docContent).getFileName();
 if (!filename.endsWith(".pptx") && !filename.endsWith(".ppt")) // if extension is not ppt and pptx
 {
  // message shown to a user
  java.lang.String msg = "the primary file do not contains supported extensions. " + "\n ppt and pptx are supported";
  java.lang.Exception exp = new java.lang.Exception(msg);
  throw exp;
 }
}
