Autodesk vault API 2012 - check-in file bug ?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

In Vault 2011, when we invoke:

File CheckinFile (
    Long fileMasterId,
    String comment,
    Boolean keepCheckedOut,
    DateTime lastWrite,
    Long [] dependFileIds,
    String [] dependSources,
    Long [] attachFileIds,
    String [] attachSources,
    BOM bom,
    Boolean copyBom,
    String newFileName,
    FileClassification fileClassification,
    Boolean hidden,
    System.Byte [] fileContents
);

and specify newFileName different (than actually checked out file has), in file history we can see that:

Version	File name
1	sample1.txt
2	sample2.txt

But unfortunately, using Vault 2012 and making the same operation usign API the result is:

Version	File name
1	sample2.txt
2	sample2.txt

Is this purposeful behavior or maybe a bug ? Can anobody tell me?

This is not a bug.  Starting in Vault 2012 renaming a file will now retroactively rename all versions of the file.  This behavior is in all of the Vault clients and the API as well.  There is a new property called "File Name (Historical)" that contains the original file name.  At the API level, File.VerName has the original file name.
