MDM API for exclusive checkout

[Former Member]

Hi All,

How can we use CheckoutRecordAsNew() API in MDM ??

I want to add a record by checking out exclusively.

I am using the following

int recordID=catalog.checkoutRecordAsNew("TableName",true);

Now I want to update the fields in the record.

catalog.updateRecord("TableName",recordID,timestamp,fields)l

My Q is is this the correct way of adding record ? how can we create timestamp here ?

THanks, Anil

Hello.

How did you update a timestampfield from Java?

You can get Timestamp using the following API (old)

cataData.GetRecordsById(rsd,IDs).GetChangeStampAt(0);

rsd-ResultSetDefinition

IDs- RecordID array (A2iIntArray)

Hi,

I solved the above issue.

I have a new question.

I checked out a record using catalog.checkoutRecordAsNew("TableName",true);

I have updated the field successfully using catalog.updateRecord("TableName",recordID,timestamp,fields)

Now I did a search on RecordID using

catalog.getRecordsByID(rsd,ID)

I am getting the nullpointerException while reading the field.

Value v=rs.getValueAt(0,"MDM_CITY");

I can see the value in the data manager but in my API i don't see that value.

What could be the issue here ??

Thanks, Anil

Hi Anil,

Once you check out a record, you have to then get the record ID of checked out record and make your changes into that record only. When you retrieve data of the checked out record's ID, your changes will be visible.
