This is easily scripted. You should look at the Alfresco JavaScript API. In particular, you will probably want to look at the getChildByNamePath function on ScriptNode.

Try that out and let us know if you get stuck.

Dear Jeff,

Thanks for your swift response.

We have written javascript and added as a rule (execute script) but the main problem is,

Move function is executing before our script so getting the same exception.

It will be helpful, if you provide any other alternate approach to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.

One more thought,

Can we use any existing aspects to achieve this?

Are you talking about the Move action in the UI?

If that is the case, you can simply replace that by the move function using the javascript API.

Change the order with the existence check, and if everything is ok, then execute the move by code.

Something like:

if (document.properties["esc:semana"] &&
document.properties["esc:ano"]) {

var ano = document.properties["esc:ano"];
var semana = document.properties["esc:semana"];

var site = siteService.getSite(document.siteShortName);
var doclib = site.getContainer("documentLibrary");

    var pastaAno = doclib.childByNamePath(ano);
    if (!pastaAno) {
        pastaAno = doclib.createFolder(ano);
    }

    var pastaSemana = pastaAno.childByNamePath(semana);
    if (!pastaSemana) {
        pastaSemana = pastaAno.createFolder(semana);
    }

document.move(pastaSemana);
}

Notice that I am using both childByNamePath and move functions in the piece of code.

I hope you find this useful for your case.
