RAM API to update category name


Harirajan Padmanabhan (1143) | asked Jul 15 '10, 12:03 a.m.
Has anyone used the RAM Java API to update category names? I am unable to get the setName method to work.

I have community admin access to the community in which the category schema I am updating is defined. I do not have repository admin access. I am able to add new categories and sub-categories to the schema I am using. I would like to be able to rename categories and sub-categories using the API.

Here is my code:

RAMCategorySchema testapiSchema = session.getCategorySchema("TestAPI");
RAMCategory level1Category1 = (RAMCategory)testapiSchema.getCategory("L1 Subcategory 1");
level1Category1.setName("L1 Category 1");
session.put(testapiSchema, new NullProgressMonitor());

I get the following exception:
com.ibm.ram.common.data.exception.RAMRuntimeException: Method is not executable by the client.
at com.ibm.ram.client.RAMCategory.setName(RAMCategory.java:441)
at com.ibm.assethub.test.HelloRAM.main(HelloRAM.java:49)

Hari,

The API lets you create category schemas, but we have not implemented the ability to allow you to update schemas.
