CREATE_VARIANT_WITH_FILES/URL/TABLE/AS_TABLE

There are four methods available for creating language and format variants:

• CREATE_VARIANT_WITH_FILES

• CREATE_VARIANT_WITH_TABLE

• CREATE_VARIANT_WITH_AS_TABLE

• CREATE_VARIANT_WITH_URL

The difference between the four methods - as with CREATE_WITH_FILES, CREATE_WITH_TABLE, CREATE_WITH_AS_TABLE, and CREATE_WITH_URL- is the source from which the data is retrieved. The source can be either a file name, a table or a URL.

The application object (document set) is identified by the attributes described in the section Parameters. The variant is also identified by attributes described in the section 'Parameters'.

The new variant is identified by the following parameters:

• NEW_DOC_VAR_ID

  New variant ID

• NEW_DOC_VAR_TG

  New variant tag

  The variant tag can take the following forms:

  • Original

  • Language variant

  • Format variant

  One of these forms must be transferred when the method is called. The new variant ID is returned.

The parameter PROPERTIES is used in place of the parameter SIGNATURE (see section Properties Table).

The method CREATE_VARIANT_WITH_FILES is identified by the additional parameter FILES (see section File Tables).

The method CREATE_VARIANT_WITH_TABLE is identified by the additional parameters (see sections Component Table and Content Table).
