Hi,Here's the scenario: A file exists in the folder. This file was manually uploaded. Now using the Authoring Service API via web service I check out the file, update and check-in.

Hi Derek,

That's right. The very first is a manual upload, there is no Versioning aspect in the file. The web service call puts a 1.0 as version when it should be 2.0.

You would have to programmatically register behaviour against the document type to control the version numbering: VersionServicePolicies.OnCreateVersionPolicy

Hi Derek,

Thanks for the response. I'm using the external web services API though. Not sure if it's possible to incorporate this other api with org.alfresco.repo.version package. Appreciate if you could further expand. Is this part of the external web service api i.e. org.alfresco.webservice

Thanks.

What I mean is that you would have to add some code to the server to change the version number policy i.e. write some java code as an AMP.

Thanks Derek. Meaning, this should work hand-in-hand with the web services api.
