How would I go about traversing through the collection? Is it going to come back like an array would be?

Hi Kenneth,

Are you using VB.NET?

I had a similar task where I was trying to find the document ID's of all the documents that are linked to the starting entry in Workflow, so I set up the following script. (You would just need to change it to look at your server, repository, and specify a username & password to log in under)

            Dim myRepoReg As Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess.RepositoryRegistration = New Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess.RepositoryRegistration("your server name", "your repository")
            Dim MySession As New Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess.Session

            MySession.LogIn("username","password",myRepoReg)

            Dim Entry as Integer = GetTokenValue("Entry ID")
            Dim IDList as String = ""
            Dim Links as EntryLinkCollection
            Dim Count as Integer = 0


            Links = EntryLink.GetEntryLinks(Entry,MySession)

            For each Link as EntryLinkInfo in Links
                if Count = 0 Then
                    IDList = Link.TargetId.ToString
                    Count = Count + 1
                Else
                    IDList = IDList + "," + Link.TargetId.ToString
                End If

            Next

            SetTokenValue("LinkedDocumentIDs",IDList)

            'MsgBox(GetTokenValue("LinkedDocumentIDs"))

            MySession.LogOut

This brings back a list of the linked Document ID's in the token LinkedDocumentIDs delimited by a comma. If you were looking for only documents linked with a specific relationship you could probably add more IF/ELSE conditions in the For Each section.

It's not great but I hope it helps!

Workflow SDK scripts provide a connection already to Laserfiche so I would recommend the script above but without the login/logout portion.

In WF 9.1, that would be

Dim mySesssion as Session = me.RASession

In addition, the entry id can be retrieved by calling:

me.BoundEntryId or

me.LaserficheApi.StartingEntryId or

me.LaserficheApi.BoundEntryId

Dom,

If you're using that script in Workflow, you should use the built-in connection rather than making your own. Workflow cleans up its own script connections, but your script could leave open connections if something goes wrong.

In WF 9.1, RepositoryAccess is the default reference for SDK Script activities, so use something like this:

Dim Entry as Integer = me.BoundEntryId
Dim Session as Session = me.RASession
Dim IDList as String = ""
Dim Links as EntryLinkCollection
Dim Count as Integer = 0


Links = EntryLink.GetEntryLinks(Entry,Session)

In WF 9.0, you have to install RepositoryAccess first and then add it as a referenceto your script, but then you can just tell WF to use it as the script connection:

Dim wrapper as ConnectionWrapperRA = me.ConnectToRA(ConnectionMethodRA.RepositoryAccess90)           
dim docinfo as Laserfiche.RepositoryAccess.Documentinfo = wrapper.BoundEntry 

Thanks for the tips! 

I didn't realise you could use the RepositoryAccess reference in version 9.0 - whereabouts could I install it if I was running WF 9.0?

Thanks,

Dom

You could get it by installing the SDK runtime.

Can someone post a full script that does the job?

Hi Ken,

If I remember correctly this was the script I finally ended up using:

            Dim MySession as Session = me.RASession
            Dim Entry as Integer = me.BoundEntryId
            Dim IDList as String = ""
            Dim Links as EntryLinkCollection
            Dim Count as Integer = 0

            Links = EntryLink.GetEntryLinks(Entry,MySession)

            For each Link as EntryLinkInfo in Links
                if Count = 0 Then
                    IDList = Link.TargetId.ToString
                    Count = Count + 1
                Else
                    IDList = IDList + "," + Link.TargetId.ToString
                End If

            Next

            SetTokenValue("LinkedDocumentIDs",IDList)

            'MsgBox(GetTokenValue("LinkedDocumentIDs"))

I then used the Split Function found in Token Dialogue... to separate the EntryID's returned from the script and put them into a multi-value token. (whenever a "," is found).

Hi Dominic,

I haven't looked at this in a while, but assuming my cursory look at the code is accurate and that code runs perfectly, then you using the function of Split on every , would work to give you a multi-value token with the various IDs. 

I would rather have a Find Links over a Delete Links so that we can determine what to do with the links just like with the Find Entries activities.

This script worked perfectly for me and just saved me hours!!!!  Yaay Laserfiche Answers and Dominic!!!!

Is this ability being considered as a new activity in a future version of Workflow?

As someone who does not understand much of what was said above, but none-the-less still need to find all linked entries, I would greatly appreciate this being a drag and drop activity in future versions.

Is this possible yet in Workflow 10.2 without needing to use the SDK? Thanks

Not as of 10.2. There weren't a lot of new features for Workflow in 10.2

Please please please please please please please please please. Get it into 10.3....... It sure would help.

Agreed, we're have multiple clients with need for this functionality.
