Back up revision level and add "Obsolete" to the document description field

I have a C# server method that creates a new revision of a document then after some edits, moves the document to the "obsolete" state (not CN controlled).

  • I would like to add script that will
    • back up the revision level one increment (back to what it was prior to the new rev being created).
    • add "OBSOLETE" into the document description field

Can anyone help me with this?

    That doesn´t look like one of the default transitions handlers.

    You could remove the 'version' function block to prevent the new revisions:

       .Version((sourceItem, versionItem) => { versionItem.ItemNumber = sourceItem.ItemNumber; versionItem.RevSequence = sourceItem.RevSequence; versionItem.Revision = sourceItem.Revision; versionItem.Classification = sourceItem.Classification; });

    But I wonder if this Obsolete handler works at all? It doesn´t promote anything to Obsolete, but only versions the items.

    Hi,

    can you give more background info? What do you mean with 'back up revision level'? Do you want to purge the item?

    Add "obsolete" into the description field is not a big deal. You may customize your Method to grant the necessary permission and then write the property myitem.setProperty("description","Obsolete");

      The only thing I have not been able to figure out is which part of the following script do I need to remove so the new affected item will have the same revision level as the original affected item. Because it is being obsoleted, i want the new affected item to be the same revision level and we just delete the files so they cannot be accidentally used.

      #region Version affectedIdItem with action Obsolete
              {
                  IList<aCNAffectedItem> affectedItemList =
                  (from affectedItem in sortedAffectedItemList
                   where
                   affectedItem.Action == aCNAffectedItem.ActionType.Obsolete
                   select affectedItem)
                  .ToList();

                  IList<ChangeControlledItem> versionedAffectedIdItemList =
                      affectedItemList
                      .Select(affectedItem => affectedItem.AffectedId)
                      .ToList()
                      .Version((sourceItem, versionItem) => { versionItem.ItemNumber = sourceItem.ItemNumber; versionItem.RevSequence = sourceItem.RevSequence; versionItem.Revision = sourceItem.Revision; versionItem.Classification = sourceItem.Classification; });

                  versionedAffectedIdItemList.Unlock();

                  affectedItemList = affectedItemList.Select((aCNAffectedItem affectedItem, int index) =>
                  {
                      affectedItem.NewId = versionedAffectedIdItemList[index];
                      return affectedItem;
                  }
                  )
                  .ToList();

                  affectedItemList.Lock();
                  affectedItemList.ApplyUpdate("new_id");
                  affectedItemList.Unlock();
              }
              #endregion
