Documentum : Relation MAIL With External Internal Attachments (dm_relation, content_attr_name, content_attr_value…)

Hello,

Just a mini post concerning the persistence/saving of MAIL document with external/internal attachments. Here, 2 solutions for the relation between MAIL document and its attachments in Documentum.

For external attachment of MAIL document, a simple solution is the creation of dm_document/dmr_content for each external attachment and the creation of dm_relation with specific type (relation_name = ‘mail_attachment’) for the link between attachments and MAIL document:
o parent_id = r_object_id of MAIL document (dm_document -> dmr_content)
o child_id = r_object_id of attachment document (dm_document -> dmr_content)
 
DQL:

select relation_name, parent_id, child_id from dm_relation where relation_name = 'mail_attachment' and parent_id = '090xxxxxxxxcd' ;

 
 

For the internal attachment inside MAIL document (the system generates automaticaly a SHA-1 for each attachment which is stored directly in the MAIL content)
 
Exemple of MAIL document/content:

	"<item name="$FILE" seal="true" sign="true" summary="true"><object><file compression="none" encoding="unknown" flags="storedindoc" hosttype="msdos" name="1540453.htm" size="7759">
	<created><datetime>20141104T065226,37-05</datetime></created>
	<modified><datetime>20141104T065226,37-05</datetime></modified>
	<filedata>1c195c............6e83db</filedata></file></object></item>"

 
So, a solution is the creation of dm_document/dmr_content for each external attachment and the use of the storing of this SHA-1 value in the dmr_content repeating attributes content_attr_name and content_attr_value instead of the dm_relation objects.
 
The DFC javadoc contains several methods for these dmr_content repeating attributes:

o String getStringContentAttr(String name, String formatName, int page, String pageModifier) throws DfException = Return a string content attribute.
Parameters:
– name : the name of the attribute.
– formatName :the name for the content objects format.
– page : the content page.
– pageModifier : the content object’s page modifier.

o void setStringContentAttribute(String name, String value, String formatName, int page, String pageModifier) throws DfException = Set a String content attribute.
Parameters:
– name : the name of the attribute.
– value : the value of the attribute.
– formatName : the name for the content objects format.
– page : the content page.
– pageModifier : the content object’s page modifier.

 

Example:



dm_document
  r_object_id                : 090xxxxxxxxxxeef
  i_contents_id              : 060xxxxxxxxxxa84
  object_name                : binary.gif


dmr_content
  r_object_id                : 060xxxxxxxxxxa84
  parent_id               	[0]: 090xxxxxxxxxxeef
  content_attr_name       	[0]: SHA-1
				[1]: Width
				[2]: Height
				[3]: Format
				[4]: Color Mode
				[5]: Compression
				[6]: Jpeg Quality
				[7]: Gif Interleave
				[8]: Color Components
				[9]: Sample Bands
				[10]: Sample Depth
				[11]: Colorspace
  content_attr_value     	[0]: e97c9xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxf36bc
				[1]: 
				[2]: 
				[3]: GIF
				[4]: Indexed
				[5]: LZW
				[6]: 
				[7]: false
				[8]: 
				[9]: 
				[10]: 
				[11]: RGB

  full_content_size          : 905

 

DQL:

select r_object_id, parent_id, content_attr_name, content_attr_value  from dmr_content where ANY (content_attr_name = 'SHA-1' and content_attr_value='1c195cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx83db' );
060xxxxxxxxx0ca	090xxxxxxxxbbe	SHA-1	1c195cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx83db

select r_object_id, r_page_cnt, r_content_size, a_content_type, i_contents_id from my_huo_document where r_object_id ='090xxxxxxxxbbe';
090xxxxxxxxbbe	1	7759	html	060xxxxxxxxx0ca
