Convert MIME to RichText

Question

I would like to convert a domino document field of Data Type: MIME Part into a Data Type: Rich Text in backend with SSJS

Answer 1

You may be able to do this as part of the usually-undesirable side effect of automatic MIME-to-CD conversion in the API. For example, code like this will turn the Body field of the first doc in the DB from MIME to composite data:

boolean convertMime = session.isConvertMime();
session.setConvertMime(true);
Document doc = database.getAllDocuments().getFirstDocument();
RichTextItem rtitem = (RichTextItem)doc.getFirstItem("Body");
rtitem.compact();

doc.save();
session.setConvertMime(convertMime);

By making sure that the session is converting MIME (which is true by default, but it's best to maintain any previously-existing value) and then interacting with the MIME_PART item, it will mangle it into CD for you.
