I need a solution for archiving documents that reside within DMX. I would like to search through all entries within a portal and those entries that are older than 60days would be moved to an archive folder. Also, the solution will search through the archive folder and delete entries that are older than 6 months. What is the best approach to implementing this solution? Is this something that could be implemented by utlizing the DMX APIs? If so, is there sample code to help me get started?

There is no API method that does your specific task. You'll need to look at the SQL and find the best way to achieve what you want. Have a look at DMX_Entries and DMX_ShortTexts/LongTexts. You'll quickly see how the data is built up. The field Entry points to the file itself. EntryID is the identifier. CollectionID points to the folder. LastModified is the last date it was touched. FirstUploaded when the file was uploaded. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
