Create new Serie using Javascript

[jordiv]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a new record series in the Javascript console for testing purposes (later I want to use it in a web script).

The series gets created, but the problem is that I can't create new categories inside the series I've created (the "New Category" button is disabled).

var filePlan = companyhome.childByNamePath(space.name + "/rm/documentLibrary");var series = filePlan.children;var newSeries = filePlan.createFolder("Test folder");newSeries.addAspect("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/rmcustom/1.0}customRecordSeriesProperties");newSeries.addAspect("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}titled");newSeries.addAspect("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/recordsmanagement/1.0}filePlanComponent");newSeries.addAspect("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/recordsmanagement/1.0}recordComponentIdentifier");‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Anyone knows what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Jordi.

It seems that I've found a workaround to my problem, based on this post.

Rather than creating a new folder, I copy an existing record series and then I change it's name and metadata:

var filePlan = companyhome.childByNamePath(space.name + "/rm/documentLibrary");var series = filePlan.children;var templateSeries = series[0];if (templateSeries != null) {  var newSeries = templateSeries.copy(filePlan, false);  newSeries.name = "Test folder";}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

If there's a better way to do this or someone knows why the code from my first post doesn't work feel free to reply.


Cheers,
Jordi.

Hi,

You are wrong because it's not a cm:folder node, It's dod:recordSeries node.

Behind you can find a snippet to do what you except.

var filePlan = companyhome.childByNamePath("Sites/rm/documentLibrary");if (filePlan != undefined){  var testSerie = createSeries(filePlan, "S123456");}function createSeries(folder, name){  if (folder.childByNamePath(name) != undefined){    return folder.childByNamePath(name);  }     var series = folder.createNode(name, "dod:recordSeries");    series.addAspect("rma:filePlanComponent");    //Unique Identifier  var props = new Array(1);  props["rma:identifier"] = createUniqueIdentifier(series);  series.addAspect("rma:recordComponentIdentifier", props);    return series;}function createUniqueIdentifier(serieNode){  //Unique Identifier  var d = new Date();  var year = d.getFullYear();  var dbid = serieNode.properties["sys:node-dbid"] + "";  var recordId = year + "-" + padString(dbid, 10);  return recordId;}//Create Unique Identifierfunction padString(s, len){  var result = s;  for (i = 0; i < (len - s.length); i++){    result = "0" + result;  }  return result;}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope it helps
