Question

Volume Location of previous version

Laserfiche

asked on June 28, 2017

Hi All,

How do you find out the location of the electronic file for prevoius versions?

I can see when creating a new version of an electronic document (Word/Excel), in the volume a new document is created. How can I find the volume location of previous versions of the same document?

Cheers!

The edoc path for past versions is not exposed in the UI as far as I know, but it can be retrieved using the SDK:

DocumentInfo doc = Document.GetDocumentInfo(docId, session);
foreach (DocumentVersion version in doc.GetVersionHistory())
{
    Console.WriteLine(version.GetStatistics().ElecDocumentPath);
}

In my experience, new/old versions seem to be kept together on the same volume. Using the code Robert provided is probably the easiest way to track it down using a simple workflow.

The dbo.vhist_toc table in the database does not have a column for volume like there is in the dbo.toc table, and I assume that is because Laserfiche is designed to keep all entry versions together.

That table does have an edoc_storeid, which when converted to hexadecimal will give you the file name of the document so you could track it down, but that's much more tedious than Robert's solution.
