Undo Checkout of All Suppressed Occurrences

[shiftctrl.io]

Hi All,

I'm looking for some help/ideas on the best approach to check-in suppressed occurrences before deleting them. 

Below is a method in my application which will delete all suppressed occurrences, however I need to add some logic to first undo checkout of the suppressed component prior to the delete operation.

Any suggestions?

		public static void DeleteSuppressedOccurrences(Document document)
		{
			if ((int)document.DocumentType != Enum.AssemblyDocument) return;
			var assyDoc = (AssemblyDocument)document;
			var assyOccs = assyDoc.ComponentDefinition.Occurrences;
			foreach (ComponentOccurrence occ in assyOccs)
			{
				if (occ.Suppressed)
				{
					occ.Delete();
				}
			}
		}

Hi, In order to do this, you need to use the Vault API. you should be able to install the Vault SDK from this folder if you have Vault installed:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Vault Basic 2020\SDK

I recommend you add a reference to the EdmSecurity dll from you inventor Bin file (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2020\Bin\Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin.dll)

then you should be able to write something like this :

using Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices;
using Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServicesTools;
using Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework.Vault.Currency.Properties;
using Connectivity.InventorAddin.EdmAddin;
using GenikAddin.DataControl;
using System;
using System.IO;
using VDF = Autodesk.DataManagement.Client.Framework;

//Code structure is not functional, just wanted to show which library i am using

//Use Inventor Vault Addin connection
EdmSecurity edmSecurity = EdmSecurity.Instance;

if (!edmSecurity.IsSignedIn())
            {
                edmSecurity.OnLoginButtonExecute(true); //simulate login button being pressed
            }

if (edmSecurity.VaultConnection is VDF.Vault.Currency.Connections.Connection connection)
            {
                // DocumentPath would be your file you want to undo check out
                string vaultpath = DocumentPath;

                string root = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(edmSecurity.InventorApp.DesignProjectManager.ActiveDesignProject.FullFileName);

                 //replace PC Workspace path to become Vault Root
                 vaultpath = vaultpath.Replace(root, "$");

                 //vault uses forward slash (/) as separator instead of Windows backslash (\)
                vaultpath = vaultpath.Replace(System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar, '/');

                 //Find latest version of the file in the vault
                Autodesk.Connectivity.WebServices.File[] file = connection.WebServiceManager.DocumentService.FindLatestFilesByPaths(filepath);
                
                if (file[0].Id == -1)
                {
                    //File Was not found
                    return false;
                }

                //Create a fileIteration

                VDF.Vault.Currency.Entities.FileIteration fileIteration = new VDF.Vault.Currency.Entities.FileIteration(connection, file[0]);
}

From there I would try 

connection.WebServiceManager.DocumentService.UndoCheckoutFile(fileIteration.EntityMasterId);

This looks like good information, I'll be sure to try it out. Thanks for the code with comments.
