Hi Narayan/Nimrod,

Plz share us the implementation for getDataGroupIdByName(dataGroupName) method.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Narayan/Ananth,

You can get the datagroup id with this code:

int datagroupid = -1;

A2iStringArray values = new A2iStringArray();

//provide actual group name defined in using MDME Client

values.Add("datagroupname");

//Now do not change any value from the code below

ResultSetDefinition rsd = new ResultSetDefinition("DataGroup");

rsd.AddField("DataGroupField");

A2iResultSet rs = null;

rs = catalogData.GetRecordsByValue(values, rsd, "DataGroupField");

if (rs.GetRecordCount() > 0) {

datagroupid = rs.GetRecordIDAt(0);

}

If you still have any problem while importing images then feel free to discuss that.

Hello Babu,

Please look at the following code example, if you are facing with additional problems, please write detailed description, thanks.

A2iFields mdmFields = new A2iFields();

// adding the "DataObject" - read the the bytes from the

// file then store it in variable

String filePath = "C:
temp
image.jpg";

File file = new File(filePath);

byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) file.length()];

// read byte from file, and set the large data

FileInputStream inputStream = new FileInputStream(file);

inputStream.read(bytes);

mdmFields.Add(new A2iField("DataObject", new Value(bytes)));

// adding the "DataGroupId"

String dataGroupName = "DataGroup for testing images";

// get the id of the dataGroupId, if the dataGroupName

//doesn't exist it will be added by the method

int dataGroupId = getDataGroupIdByName(dataGroupName);

mdmFields.Add(new A2iField("DataGroupId", new Value(dataGroupId)));

// adding the name

mdmFields.Add(new A2iField("Name", new Value(file.getName())));

mdmFields.Add(new A2iField("OrigName", new Value(file.getName())));

// adding OrigLocationId

int origLocationId = this.catalogData.AddDataLocation(filePath, 0, DataLocationType.RemovableMediaLocation);

mdmFields.Add(new A2iField("OrigLocationId", new Value(origLocationId)));

// adding the image to the "Images" table

int newImageId = this.catalogData.AddRecord("Images", mdmFields, 0, 0);

Good luck.

Hello Narayan,

Data Group is a group which contains BLOBs.

Loading Image to MDM requires to define the Data Group ID.

getDataGroupIDByName returns you the Data Group ID by name, if the Data Group name doesn't exist, the method will create it.

For example:

//the following example code will return "My Images" Data

//Group id, if "My Images" not exist, it will create it.

//

String dataGroupName = "My Images";

int dataGroupId = getDataGroupIdByName(dataGroupName);

Good luck, Nimrod.

Hi Nimrodh,
