I have a batch routine that needs to identify recently frozen publication baselines. I see an API asking if CanFreeze and to Freeze. I assume that there is some metadata but not able to find it. Ideally, it would be great if some sort of plug-in event would fire when a baseline is frozen.
Hi Todd,
There are no hooks/events/IWritePlugins on the Baseline objects. There are however IWritePlugins on PublicationOutputs. I assume you know that when you Release (R) PublicationOutputs you implicitly freeze the attached baseline. So a plugin that trigger an (asynchronous) task when Releasing the PublicationOutput might work.
Typically less-and-less customer's directly Freeze the baseline. The best Baseline metadata I can come up with I found through ISHRemote's cmdlet: Get-IshTypeFieldDefinition | Out-GridView
So FISHLABELRELEASED in combination with MODIFIED-ON.
Hope either gets you going,
Dave
Hi Todd,
As Dave suggested, you can catch the publication output metadata change through IWriteMetadataPlugin.
Basically a step prior to releasing the publication output. Either from "Pending" to "Release Candidate" or "Draft" to "Release Candidate", which indirectly confirms the baseline frozen state.
Hope it helps!
