Using copy-PWDocument to copy a Document SET document

Robert Biggar

Hello;

I am trying to copy a document SET document from one folder to a different folder

If I use the PW explorer, it is as simple as "Copy" and "paste"...no big deal.

but when I try to do it with "Copy-PWDocument" in a script file....it gives me an error:

"WARNING: Error copying document 'Forms'. Error: 58072"

58072  - "Cannot Copy document set"

I tried the same syntax on a TXT file...no problems

Tried it both with the paths and the file object...no good

my test syntax:

Copy-PWDocument -SourceDocumentNamePath "Resources\Development Resources\Design Submittal Requirements\z_Active Sets\ Forms" -TargetFolderPath "Lansing Support\biggarr\Test - No Configuration\-Supporting Documents"

WARNING: Error copying document 'Forms'. Error: 58072

with a txt file...no problem

Copy-PWDocument -SourceDocumentNamePath "Lansing Support\biggarr\Test - No Configuration\New Text Document.txt" -TargetFolderPath "Lansing Support\biggarr\Test - No Configuration\-Supporting Documents"

I know there is a "New" flatset Cmdlet, but not a special "copy"

Any Ideas?

Thank You!

    ,

    I'll have to look into this a bit further as I was able to reproduce the issue.

    In the meantime, you might have to examine each document to see if it is a flat set, and then create a new flat set in the target folder and add in the contents from the source flat set.  I didn't test this approach, so I might have overlooked something.

    Perhaps someone else can find or offer another method or perhaps a Cmdlet that I have overlooked...

    Thanks Dan! just knowing it can be reproduced helps...I hate to go to the trouble of "Programming around a problem"...when it was just something I was not doing correctly!  That could NEVER happen...right!  HA!

    Hey, Dan. 

    I am looking into re-creating the SET...there is a "Create" and an "Add file"....looks promising.

    ...on a different note...

    This morning, one of our Batch processes failed while copying a Template structure.

    turns out it failed while copying a SET.

    the API function being called was "aaApi_MoveDocument"

    and the error it gave me was 58072 - Cannot copy document set

    I don't know if the Powershell CMDLet uses the same API call or if the Interface uses yet another call for the  "Copy/Paste" commands ???

    but... I figured I should throw it out there in case it is a "piece to the puzzle"

    My initial reaction was maybe a problem with a SET file....but you were able to reproduce this without the particular file...sooo....

    I am having the users remove the SET files and re-run the batch job....I will let you know if that helps.

    Thank You, Sir!
