Version API:Major minor versions

[itsard]

Hi,
When I check a document in  in the alfresco repository through SOAP webservice api, how do I pass the information
if I need to create a major version or a minor version.?
The create version api or the check in api has no parameter for specifying this information.
Can anyone let me know how can this be achieved?
Thanks.

Hi,
with some digging in Alfresco's source code, i eventually found the answer:  :shock:

The trick is to pass an additonal "versionType" parameter with value "MAJOR" with the SOAP request. Here is a snippet of PHP-Code, but should easily translate to any programming language:

      $client = AlfWebServiceFactory::getAuthoringService($this->_session->repository->connectionUrl, $this->_session->ticket);
      $result = $client->createVersion(
         array("items" => array("nodes" => $this->__toArray()),
               "comments" => array( 
                                  array("name" => "description", "value" => $description),
                                  array("name" => "versionType", "value" => "MAJOR")
                                  ),
               "versionChildren" => false));   
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

and here is what the SOAP request should look like:

  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
    <ns2:createVersion>
      <ns2:items>
        <ns1:nodes>
          <ns1:store>
            <ns1:scheme>workspace</ns1:scheme>
            <ns1:address>SpacesStore</ns1:address>
          </ns1:store>
          <ns1:uuid>bf3f52bf-a74c-4474-9ccd-fecb22f0563d</ns1:uuid>
        </ns1:nodes>
      </ns2:items>
      <ns2:comments>
        <ns1:name>description</ns1:name>
        <ns1:isMultiValue xsi:nil="true"/>
        <ns1:value>A new major version</ns1:value>
      </ns2:comments>
      <ns2:comments>
        <ns1:name>versionType</ns1:name>
        <ns1:isMultiValue xsi:nil="true"/>
        <ns1:value>MAJOR</ns1:value>
      </ns2:comments>
      <ns2:versionChildren>false</ns2:versionChildren>
    </ns2:createVersion>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>
