CheckinFile provides error 1022 (SelfDependency)

[ewcv]

Hi,

my procedure of updating an UPD of a file works in the most cases,

but in some cases CheckinFile provides error 1022 (SelfDependency)

"Error retuned from Vault Server: SelfDependency   System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: 1022 ..."

I don't know why, has anone an idea?

my code:

System.Byte[] fileContents;
// long m_nIdDoc is the Id of my file and m_nIdDocMaster is the associated Masterid
AWeb.Folder[] folders = m_ServiceManager.DocumentService.GetFoldersByFileMasterId(m_nIdDocMaster);
if (folders != null && folders.Length > 0)
{
    string sDirectory = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
    bool bEnv = m_ServiceManager.DocumentService.GetEnforceWorkingFolder();
    if (bEnv == true)
        sDirectory = m_ServiceManager.DocumentService.GetRequiredWorkingFolderLocation();
    AWeb.File fileM = m_ServiceManager.DocumentService.CheckoutFile(folders[0].Id, m_nIdDoc, AWeb.CheckoutFileOptions.Master, Environment.MachineName, sDirectory, "comment", false, false, out fileContents);
    try
    {
        m_ServiceManager.DocumentService.UpdateFileProperties(new long[] { m_nIdDocMaster }, new long[] { 104 }, new object[] { "my comment" });
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        sMessage = CommonFunctions.getErrorAndRestrictionCodesString(ex);
        try
        {
            m_ServiceManager.DocumentService.UndoCheckoutFile(m_nIdDocMaster, false, out fileContents);
        }
        catch {}
    }
    try
    {
        AWeb.FileAssocParam[] assocsParam = getFileAssocParam(m_nIdDocMaster, m_ServiceManager, ref sMessage);
        m_ServiceManager.DocumentService.CheckinFile(m_nIdDocMaster, "my comment", false, DateTime.Now, assocsParam, null, true, fileM.Name, fileM.FileClass, fileM.Hidden, null);
    }

    catch (Exception exCheckin)
    {
        sMessage = CommonFunctions.getErrorAndRestrictionCodesString(exCheckin);
        m_ServiceManager.DocumentService.UndoCheckoutFile(m_nIdDocMaster, false, out fileContents);
    }

Self dependency probably means you are trying to set file X as a dependency or attachment of file X, which is logically impossible.

Take a closer look at assocsParam to make sure the association points to a different file than the one you are updating.
