Update EPMDocument IBA through JAVA

AK_10639313 — Fri, 02 Aug 2024 16:20:00 GMT

Good evening,
I'm having trouble understanding the process of updating an IBA of an EPMDocument.
I'm trying as it follows:

attributes.put(attributeName, attributeValue);
PersistableAdapter epmObj = new PersistableAdapter(epmDoc, null, null, new UpdateOperationIdentifier());
epmObj.load(attributeName);
epmObj.set(attributeName, attributeValue);
EPMDocument obj = (EPMDocument) epmObj.apply();
PersistenceHelper.manager.modify(obj);

However I didn't get any changes on the attribute itself. I'm guessing that in this case I need to checkout the EPM and do the changes on a working copy of it to persist the changes.
However reading the documentation and other topics I haven't found a clear flow to check-out--> set the attribute and then check-in the object. Can someone give me a hand on this if possible? Thank you kindly for your support

You are correct, you need to check out the object first, make the modifications, then check in. I think you need something like the below...

doc = (EPMDocument) WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkout(doc, WorkInProgressHelper.service.getCheckoutFolder(), null).getWorkingCopy(); PersistableAdapter pa = new PersistableAdapter(doc, null, Locale.getDefault(), null); pa.load(attributeName); pa.set(attributeName, attributeValue); doc = (EPMDocument) pa.apply(); doc = (EPMDocument) PersistenceHelper.manager.modify(doc); doc = (EPMDocument) WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkin(doc, "IBA Updated");
