Checking in/out non-Inventor files in Vault via iLogic

[Daan_M]

Hi,

I currently have a code that writes data to an Excel file which is saved in Vault, this works fine, but i would like to check-in the Excel file in Vault at the end.

I see snippets to check-in/check-out active documents such as an assembly (Tested and this works great). But this doesn't work for the Excel file, since it's not an 'active document'.

Is it possible what i'm asking or is there no solution currently?

You can use the .addfile method.

iLogicVault.AddFile(fullfilename, vaultfolderpath)

Heres how you would check a file back in using the vault api

Use this link for examples/documentation working with vault programmatically :
