We are in need to obsolete a bunch of existing WTDocuments.  I have done creating new WTDocument using Bulk Upload method, but I have not done Obsolete existing WTDocument before.  Has anyone done this before?  If yes, can you share the xml recipe file if you can?

 

Thank you,

    This xml file is working, but just that I need to change from this line:

     

    <csvDocument handler="wt.doc.LoadDoc.createGeneral" >

     

    to this line to get it working:

     

    <csvDocument handler="wt.doc.LoadDoc.beginCreateWTDocument" >

     

    The first one gave me and error and the change works and obsoletes the WTDocument.

    Thank you.  I will create a recipe file for it.

    Hi @tchao 

    In your XML you need to define lifecyclestate element where you set a obsolete state. The value is internal name of the state.

    Also during the import/creation user needs to have a rights to modify that state, for example as a administrator.

     

    <?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE NmLoader SYSTEM "standardX20.dtd">
<NmLoader>
<csvDocument handler="wt.doc.LoadDoc.createGeneral" >
 <csvuser></csvuser>
 <csvname>DOCUMENT123.pdf</csvname>
 <csvtitle>DOCUMENT123.pdf</csvtitle>
 <csvnumber>DOCUMENT123.pdf</csvnumber>
 <csvtype>Document</csvtype>
 <csvdescription></csvdescription>
 <csvdepartment>DESIGN</csvdepartment>
 <csvsaveIn>/Default/Test_import/</csvsaveIn>
 <csvteamTemplate></csvteamTemplate>
 <csvdomain></csvdomain>
 <csvlifecycletemplate>Two Phase Development</csvlifecycletemplate>
 <csvlifecyclestate>OBSOLETE</csvlifecyclestate>
 <csvtypedef>com.ptc.ReferenceDocument</csvtypedef>			
 <csvprimarycontenttype>ApplicationData</csvprimarycontenttype>
 <csvpath>D:\\fileContent.pdf</csvpath>
 <csvformat></csvformat>
 <csvcontdesc></csvcontdesc>
 <csvversion>A</csvversion>

</NmLoader>
