Java to change Name of WTDocuments

[jfrankovich]

Hello all,

I have a need to change the Name field of a list of existing WTDocuments. (The document Names have the revision date appended to them and we want to remove this from the Name.) This will be time consuming if done manually through the WC interface, so I was hoping to find a way to use a Java method to do this directly from a list of objects.

Anybody done this before?
Thanks,
John

Hi John

I am foreseeing following actions.

1. Have all your documents numbers and names as comma separated in a
flat file.

2. Develop a Java method for parsing the flat file

3. For each number find the document object by using a query spec.

4. Once the doc is retrieved, rename the document using another java
method.

5. Maintain a log file for success/failure details.

Please let me know if you need any specific clarification in any one of the
steps above.



Thank you and have a great time.

You can use this method:

wt.doc.WTDocumentService.changeWTDocumentIdentity(WTDocument arg0, String arg1, String arg2, WTOrganization arg3) throws WTException, WTPropertyVetoException, UniquenessException
