File Restrictions

[ltriezen]

Using the API, I am checking in a file. Immediately thereafter, I wish to update the state of the file to released, however I need to wait for some interval while the properties are checked for consistency. I get an error regarding vaulting restrictions if I try to do this immediately (the interval appears to be about 15 seconds).

I tried calling GetFileStatusSetRestrictionsByMasterIds using an array with the masterID, however I get an error : System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: 241.

Dim lMasterIDs(0) As Long
lMasterIDs(0) = file.MasterId
GetFileStatusSetRestrictionsByMasterIds( lMasterIDs, FileStatus.Unknown)

I would like to write a little loop, waiting until the consistency checks are completed so that I can proceed with the state change. Any ideas on how I can determine whether the consistency checks are done?

Thanks in advance.

The loop is a good idea, but the correct function to use is GetProperties.
With that function you need to look up the "Property Compliance" property
for the file.

Property Compliance is a number. These are what the values mean.
0 = Compliant
1, 2 or 3 = Noncompliant
4 = Pending
8 = Error
