How to disable versioning for one of my custom action

hiten_rastogi1

Hi,

I am creating a custom action where I am checking in a file after some modification. I would like to know how I can disable the versioning when I check-in the file.

So far, I have done the below.

In my code, I am passing null in the check-in function of the CheckOutCheckInService(checkOutCheckInService.checkin(workingNode, null);) as specified in the comments of the checkIn function to prevent versioning of the file but I can still see that a minor version is created e.g. 2.0 --> 2.1.

Then, I removed the versionable aspect(nodeService.removeAspect(actionedUponNodeRef, ContentModel.ASPECT_VERSIONABLE);) from the file and I was able to check in file without creating a version but all the information related to previous versions was lost. This is where I am not able to find out how can I check in the file through my custom action without increasing the version and preserving the version history at the same time.

Thanks

If versioning is enabled on a node,when you perform a check in， a new version is always created, you can't disable it.

Hi Kayne,

Ok, so is there a way I can preserve the version history and after removing

versionable aspect and checking-in the file I can just restore all the

version history for that file ??

A minor correction...

The CheckInCheckOutService always performs versioning when you use the checkIn operation. Why would you use it anyway if you you did not want to create a new version?

But versioning in terms of the auto-version feature can indeed be disabled / ignored within a single action / transaction. That is what the BehaviourFilter interface allows you to do. With it you can disable policies / behaviours that automatically react to changes on nodes with specific types or aspects. Since versioning is dependant on the versionable aspect, you can disable behaviours for that aspect and have effectively disabled the auto-versioning behaviour.

I guess disabling the behaviour would also result in the version history not be removed when you remove the aspect itself, but I would not recommend it and it is not necessary for your use case as far as I can see.

Many Thanks Alex,

To clarify on above, my action is related to OCR in which the working node

in checked out and after OCR that working node is checked in and in this

action I am using CheckOutCheckInService, which as you said always perform

the versioning. Do we have another way to handle check-in then please let

me know as my knowledge is limited to above.

Now for disabling Behavior Filter, if my understanding is correct from what

you have said above I just need to disable the behavior that is invoked on

the versionable aspect in my custom action call and that will do the job

which will also help in retaining the previous versions history that is

getting lost in my current setup in which I am removing the aspect

versionable and then checking in the file.

Thanks

I suggest you do not check out the node for OCR in the first place. If you use checkout just so that no one else modifieds the node, why not just lock it instead?
