Vault 2014 Batch Checkin of IDW

[Dickerson2012]

I have about 50,000 Idw's files that will need to be updated and checked into the vault. The sample working but it is slow. Can I batch the checking. if so how ( Code Sample )?

'My very slow loop check-in

Public Sub oVDFSample(ByVal oFileNameListWOEXT As List(Of String), connection As VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection)
        For Each FileName As String In oFileNameListWOEXT
            Dim oFileIteration As VDF.Vault.Currency.Entities.FileIteration = getFileIteration(FileName & ".idw", connection)
            If oFileIteration Is Nothing Then
                'VDF.Vault.Library.ConnectionManager.LogOut(connection)
                MessageBox.Show("Unable to get FileIteration object, is the name of the file you are trying to check in correct?")
                Return
            End If
            Dim fldrPath As Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Currency.FolderPathAbsolute = connection.WorkingFoldersManager.GetWorkingFolder(oFileIteration)
            Dim filePath As String = Path.Combine(fldrPath.ToString(), oFileIteration.EntityName)
            Dim filePathAbs As VDF.Currency.FilePathAbsolute = New VDF.Currency.FilePathAbsolute(filePath)
            Try
                If oFileIteration.IsCheckedOut = True Then
                    Dim myFileRelationshipSettings As VDF.Vault.Settings.FileRelationshipGatheringSettings '.IFileRelationshipGatheringSettingsReadOnly
                    myFileRelationshipSettings = New VDF.Vault.Settings.FileRelationshipGatheringSettings
                    myFileRelationshipSettings.IncludeChildren = True
                    myFileRelationshipSettings.IncludeAttachments = True
                    Dim myColOfFileAssocLite As System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of ACW.FileAssocLite) = Nothing
                    myColOfFileAssocLite = connection.FileManager.GetFileAssociationLites(New Long() {oFileIteration.EntityIterationId}, myFileRelationshipSettings)
                    ' Going to add new FileAssocParam object to this list
                    Dim fileAssocLiteParams As ArrayList = New ArrayList


                    ' ArrayList to contain FileAssocParam objects
                    Dim fileAssocParams As ArrayList = New ArrayList

                    ' Add FileAssocParam objects to the  ArrayList
                    ' using values from the collection of FileAssocLite in the
                    ' collection returned from GetFileAssociationLites()
                    If Not myColOfFileAssocLite Is Nothing Then
                        Dim myFileAssocLite As FileAssocLite
                        '    'Go through each FileAssoc in the FilleAssocs in the collection of FileAssocLite
                        For Each myFileAssocLite In myColOfFileAssocLite
                            ' This is a new FileAssocParam that is going to be added to the ArrayList
                            ' getting the properties from the FileAssocLite
                            Dim par As FileAssocParam = New FileAssocParam()
                            par.CldFileId = myFileAssocLite.CldFileId
                            par.RefId = myFileAssocLite.RefId
                            par.Source = myFileAssocLite.Source
                            par.Typ = myFileAssocLite.Typ
                            par.ExpectedVaultPath = myFileAssocLite.ExpectedVaultPath
                            fileAssocParams.Add(par)
                        Next
                    End If
                    ' and the new file
                    Dim myFileAssocParamArray As FileAssocParam() = DirectCast(fileAssocParams.ToArray(GetType(FileAssocParam)), FileAssocParam())
                    connection.FileManager.CheckinFile(oFileIteration, "CodeVauleUpdate", False, myFileAssocParamArray,
                                                                                     Nothing, False, Nothing,
                                                          ACW.FileClassification.None, False, filePathAbs)
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
                Debug.Print(ex.ToString)
                connection.FileManager.UndoCheckoutFile(oFileIteration, filePathAbs)
            End Try
        Next
    End Sub

Your code has helped me understand the principles behind file checkin. Thank you.
Did you ever manage to simplify and speed things up?

You could try using a BackgroundWorker thread for each check-in routine, then it would be multi-threaded. I'm just not sure what Vault's limitations are when it comes to checking in files. Can Vault handle concurrent check-ins?

Batch Check in's are painfully slow for all releases> Any time i have to deal with multiple files and checkout-checking  I create automation and run it directly on the server.
