Copying properties from a type to an aspect

srowsell — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 16:56:34 GMT

In order to use the Forms Management add-on module – which is something I have to do – I need to migrate my documents from using Types to using Aspects. I have to deal with a lot of documents – over a million, which isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things, but is a lot to work with all at once –

I'm writing just a guess here, but here's what I think may be the problem:

eDoc:esid is a multivalued property. So, doc.properties['eDoc:esid'] is a collection.

You're trying to add a collection to a field of type text, with doc.properties['ed:esid'] = someCollection. Now, from what I remember, if your prop is multivalued, you would also access individual values as if the whole prop is an array, but assign it on a simpler manner. I remember I had problems with mltext like that.

So, try taking your eDoc:esid collection (even if it is just one element or null) then for each of them, assign the value to the ed:esid property.

Maybe it will help a bit.

I had thought of this, but since I used very similar code with another Type I had been working with – and the collection of properties was copied as though it were one value – I can tell you that this isn't the problem.

I did manage to get it to work, after beating my head against the problem a little longer. I just split up the aspect assignments like so:


for (var i = 0;i<results.length;i++)
   {
      counter++;
      
      results.addAspect("ed:commonProperties");
      results.properties["ed:esid"]=results.properties["eDoc:esid"];
      results.properties["ed:eDocumentDate"]=results.properties["eDoc:eDocumentDate"];
      results.properties["ed:eDocumentType"]=results.properties["eDoc:eDocumentType"];
      results.save();
      
      if (!(results.hasAspect["ed:commonProperties"]))
      {
      count++
      }
   }
   
   for (var i = 0;i<results.length;i++)
   {
      counter2++;
      
      results.addAspect("ed:eDocumentTaxes");
      results.properties["ed:memberNameTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:memberNameTx"];
      results.properties["ed:statusTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:statusTx"];
      results.properties["ed:formTypeTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:formTypeTx"];
      results.properties["ed:expirationDateTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:expirationDateTx"];
      results.properties["ed:receiptNoTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:receiptNoTx"];
      results.properties["ed:sinTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:sinTx"];
      results.properties["ed:contractNoTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:contractNoTx"];
      results.properties["ed:yearTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:yearTx"];
      results.properties["ed:acctNoTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:acctNoTx"];
      results.properties["ed:branchNoTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:branchNoTx"];
      results.properties["ed:branchNameTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:branchNameTx"];
      results.properties["ed:transitTx"]=results.properties["eDoc:transitTx"];
      results.save();
      
      if (!(results.hasAspect["ed:eDocumentTaxes"]))
      {
      count++
      }      
   }

I don't know why this fixed it, but I also cleaned up a couple of nagging problems with the model, which might have been what actually solved it.

Thanks for your help.
