Hello swForums!
Ok, Here's the deal;
There's this mostly empty folder structure in our EPDM Vault that gets programmatically copied a lot.
But since the folder structure gets changed from time to time there needs to be a way to get latest on it before hand.
And I did that with this:
Private Vault As IEdmVault15 = New EdmVault5
Private Sub FolderUpdater(ByVal FolderList As String())
'Select Folders
Dim i As Integer = FolderList.Count
Dim Directory(i) As EdmSelItem
For Each Folder As String In FolderList
i = i - 1
Directory(i).mlDoID = 0
Directory(i).mlProjID = Vault.GetFolderFromPath(Folder).ID
Next
Try 'Update Folders
Console.Write("Getting Latest... ")
Dim BG As IEdmBatchGet
BG = Vault.CreateUtility(EdmUtility.EdmUtil_BatchGet)
BG.AddSelection(Vault, Directory)
BG.CreateTree(0, EdmGetCmdFlags.Egcf_Nothing)
BG.GetFiles(0, Nothing)
Console.WriteLine("Update Complete!")
Catch ex As Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
Console.WriteLine("HRESULT = 0x" + ex.ErrorCode.ToString("X") + vbCrLf + ex.Message)
Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
The problem is that this method fails to get newly added empty folders or update folders that have had their names changed.
(It also fails to update files that have been deleted and re-added).
Any suggestions would be really awesome!
I am not real handy with the EPDM API but for copying folder/file structure template I would look at setting up a "EPDM Template". This will create the needed folder structure and put copies of files into the correct folders with a simple right-click. I use them for a couple of project structures.
