Create new xml file asset using SOAP API

Hi


What value do I pass to the CreateAsset API, for TypeCode? What typecode is an xml file? I've tried 'xml_file', 'file_xml', 'file' (which gives me a 'doc' file for some reason. As usual can't find this anywhere in the manual.



thanks

It is xml_file.


You can find all of the asset type codes in the Admin interface, just click the tree icon in the top right.

Thanks, that's what I expected, but I'm getting this error back:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'SOAP fault encountered: File extension not allowed. The supplied file is of type "DOC". Expected types: xml. [CORE0106]' in /home/nps/public_html/MatrixSOAP/CMI_webservices/CreateXML.php:152

Stack trace:

#0 {main}

thrown in /home/nps/public_html/MatrixSOAP/CMI_webservices/CreateXML.php on line 152



Rather odd. Any ideas?

What are you passing for the name of the file? It seems you are passing a name with the .doc extension.

Yep, I've just realised what was going on. I was picking up the filename from the xml source - for some reason it had a doc extension.



I've got it working OK now.
