setLinkToLCAssets

void setLinkToLCAssets(LoginSettings loginSettings,
                       java.lang.String ECMObjectID,
                       java.lang.String formTemplatePath,
                       java.lang.String itemType,
                       java.lang.String relationshipName,
                       java.util.Map attributeNameValuePair)
                       throws RepositoryException

Links objects, files, or data in IBM Content Manager to an asset lying in the native repository. It will create a new object "Asset Link Object" (ALO), if it does not exist (in IBM Content Manager repository) corresponding to the form template URL information (present in the native repository). However, the form template URL path is not cross checked for existence at the time of ALO creation. An ALO does not necessarily represent a form template in the native repository. It means that an ALO object can also be created for any resource lying in native repository.

• If an object (with ID as ECMObjectID) is specified, a relationship between ECMObjectID (lying in IBM CM repository) and ALO is created.
• If an ALO corresponding to a form template URL already exists, a relationship between object (with Id as ECMObjectID) and ALO is created.
• If ECMObjectID is specified, but the relationship represented by relationshipName does not exist in IBM CM Server, then the relationship specified by relationshipName is created at runtime.

The "webapps-x-adobe-assetlink" MIME-type should pre-exist in IBM Content Server to ensure that ALO creation is successful. Once created, an ALO cannot be modified, and the properties of an ALO object cannot be altered. In this operation, if itemType is left blank, ensure an item type 'AssetObjectType' already exists in the IBM Content Manager server. For details see the itemType field description.

Parameters:

loginSettings - Required. Configuration settings required to connect to IBM Content Manager (IBM CM). You can authenticate using:

• Process Context (In this mode no other details are required from the user)
• User Credentials (Datastore name, Username, Password, and Alias Connection String)

ECMObjectID - Optional. The ID of the object in ECM repository. Note: If specified, the object ID should represent an existing object. If not specified, the operation creates an ALO object corresponding to form template path.

formTemplatePath - Required. Form Template URL. (Preferably, path of an XDP in the native repository). This path is not cross-checked for its existence when an ALO is created.

itemType - Required. Item Type of an ALO. An item type used here should have a non-nullable or required string property name 'AssetObjectName'. When no value is specified a default item-Type 'AssetObjectType' is used for ALO creation. In such a scenario, ensure that this default item type exists in the IBM Content Manager server. Similar to a custom item type, 'AssetObjectType' should also have a non-nullable or required string property named 'AssetObjectName' with its 'Maximum Character length' being equal to 1000. For more details on how to create an item type refer to the IBM Content Manager documentation. In case of default item type being used, 'AssetObjectName', by default, is set to the value of the form template path.

relationshipName - Required. Relationship between an ECM object and an ALO. If nothing is specified, assetObjectRelationship is used as the default relationship type.

attributeNameValuePair - Optional. Attribute-value map of registered IBM CM item types. It is mandatory to pass required attributes.

Throws:

RepositoryException - If any of the required parameters are NULL.

RepositoryException - If user credentials cannot be authenticated.

RepositoryException - If the user does not have write permissions to write a new Asset Link Object.

RepositoryException - If an I/O exception occurs during the operation.

RepositoryException - In all other cases when IBM CM throws a run-time error.

RepositoryException - If user credentials cannot be authenticated.

RepositoryException - If formDataID does not exist.

RepositoryException - If an I/O exception occurs during the operation.
