Adding a UserItem to TranslationJob ERROR

Question

I have written a plugin for SDL Translation Management Service which should add the UserData for the creator of the TranslationJob to the resolved items:

    public void TranslationJob_Resolved(object sender, ResolvedItemsEventArgs e)
    {
        // Create a duplicate IEnumerable to make modifications to the resolved items
        List<ResolvedItem> resolvedItems = e.Items.ToList();

        try
        {
            // Retrieve the translation job
            TranslationJob translationJob = sender as TranslationJob;

            if (translationJob != null)
            {
                // Retrieve the creator TcmUri
                TcmUri creatorUri = translationJob.CreatorUri;

                // Use the CoreService to retrieve the creator TcmItem
                UserData userItem = CoreServiceFactory.Get<UserData>(creatorUri.ToString());

                if (userItem != null)
                {
                    Logger.Log("User Item found for: " + userItem.Title);

                    // Create a new tcmUri to set the publication to 0
                    TcmUri tcmUri = new TcmUri(creatorUri.ItemId, creatorUri.ItemType, 0, creatorUri.Version);

                    // Validate the user and create a TcmItem
                    TcmItem tcmItem = new TcmItem(tcmUri);

                    // Add the creator TcmItem to the translation job resolved items
                    ResolvedItem resolvedItem = new ResolvedItem(tcmItem, translationJob);

                    resolvedItems.Add(resolvedItem);
                }
            }
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            Logger.Log("Unexpected error: {0}", ex);
        }

        // Assign the modified IEnumerable
        e.Items = resolvedItems;
    }

An exception is thrown when trying to initialise a new ResolvedItem object:

Tridion.TranslationManager.DomainModel.TcmClientException: Invalid context Publication specified in URI: tcm:115-19-65552. Expecting: 0. ---> System.ServiceModel.FaultException`1[Tridion.ContentManager.CoreService.Client.CoreServiceFault]: Invalid context Publication specified in URI: tcm:115-19-65552. Expecting: 0.

I am struggling to determine why the publication component of the TcmId is 115 despite me explicitly setting it to 0 for the tcmUri.

Can anyone provide any guidance on why this is happening and how I can resolve it?

Answer 1

The public constructor for ResolvedItem manipulates the publication of the TcmItem.

public ResolvedItem(TcmItem sourceItem, TranslationJob job)
{
  if (sourceItem == null)
    throw new LocalizableArgumentNullException("sourceItem");
  if (job == null)
    throw new LocalizableArgumentNullException("job");
  this._job = job;
  TcmUri tcmUri = new TcmUri(sourceItem.InternalTcmItem.TcmUri.UriInPublication(job.InternalTranslationJob.ContextItemUri));
  TcmItem tcmItem = tcmUri.PublicationId == sourceItem.Uri.PublicationId ? sourceItem : new TcmItem(tcmUri);
  Tridion.TranslationManager.DomainModel.TcmUri publicationUriFromItemUri = Utilities.GetPublicationUriFromItemUri(sourceItem.Uri.WrappedTcmUri);
  this._resolvedItem = new Tridion.TranslationManager.DomainModel.ResolvedItem(tcmItem.InternalTcmItem, job.InternalTranslationJob.TranslationJobManager.UserContext, publicationUriFromItemUri, publicationUriFromItemUri, true, job.InternalTranslationJob, string.Empty);
}

The other constructor is internal and we are unable to modify the TranslationJob.ContextItemUri (no getter).

This means that an item must support blueprinting to be added as a ResolvedItem and we can't extend or override this behaviour.
