Close files and delete working copies

[JRajendran4]

Is there a way to stop deleting local files after restricting it from check-in(Even "Close files and delete working copies" is checked)?

I have some conditions before checking in files to vault server from Inventor. If the file checkin fails it should not delete local file.How to handle it by C# code?

The below code is used to add restriction in "AddFileEvents_GetRestrictions" Event.

How to handle the deletion of files if checkin is not happened using c#?

Thanks in advance

Hi

Two things

Firstly, your snippet only shows an AddFile restriction, but no CheckinFile restriction - if this is not implemented, it might be causing your issue

Secondly, if you do have a CheckinFile restriction you seem to be saying that when you ...

• Set the "Close files and delete working copies" option
• Click OK in the check-in dialogue box
• Raise the restrictions in your add-in

... the check-in is restricted, but the files are closed & deleted

This should cancel the check-in, and do nothing further, so what is happening isn't correct operation & should be reported as bug

Hope some of that is helpful

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your thoughts! 

1) Yes, there is a implementation for CheckinFile restriction too.

2) As per your point, Yes, the check-in is restricted, but the files are closed & deleted so it should be a bug and will report it
