Hi Elena, it does not look like your recursion does not work properly but perhaps you are activating too many objects and so run out of memory and get into timeout. May be you should try it with a much smaller subtree and if it works try to use sub-transactions (like ZCatalog does) to avoid intensive memory allocation. Regards Tino --On Montag, 25.

Hi,

I'have got a problem with recursive iteration through all subfolders in an External Method. My pc gets out of system-resources doing the following iteration. Does anybody see a problem why this don't stop properly? I have no clue ...

-- many thanks for your replies, Elena

def sendObject(self, object, objPath): # do something with no effect on iteration return

def iterateObjects(self, object, objectPath, basePathLevel, destPath): if object.meta_type == 'Folder': objectPath = destPath + '/' + '/'.join(object.absolute_url().split('/')[basePathLevel-1:]) for child in object.objectValues(): if not (hasattr(child, 'noUpload') and child.noUpload): sendObject(self, child, objectPath) iterateObjects(self, child, objectPath, basePathLevel, destPath) return

def uploadObjects(self, ids, destPath, addSubfolder): for objectId in ids: object = getattr(self, objectId) sendObject(self, object, destPath) objectPath = destPath + '/' + objectId if addSubfolder: basePathLevel = len(object.absolute_url().split('/')) iterateObjects(self, object, objectPath, basePathLevel, destPath) return
