No function in Toolkit to create commonspace folders in PDMLink or is there any hidden API

[shivsconce]

Hi Pro/Toolkit developers,

Can anyone tell me why there is no particular function to create commonspace folder in Windchill PDMLink.There are only functions to set default location like ProServerTargetfolderSet, ProServercheckinoptsLocationAdd, ProServercheckinoptsDeflocationSet. There are functions to add and remove workspace but why there is no function to add or delete commonspace folders.

Or Are there any hidden APIs to add or delete commonspace folders.

Thanks

The commonspace things are not in the Pro/E // Creo API. I think there are in the Windchill API and you need to use this to create or delete things in commonspace. The Pro/E API only do things you can do directly with Pro/E and the workspace is Pro/E related stuff. Everything on the Serversite is Windchill controled.

Best regards,

Thanks eike for the insight on the API.But Even Check-in is server side operation,I think PTC should have bundled even commonspace things in Pro/Toolkit.

I think you're right. Often Checkin and checkout are serverside operations, but in this case you have the possibility in Pro/E to checkin and checkout. So the server communication side is build in Pro/E and you can use it. I think the buttons for die Pro/E Side are at File -> Checkout // Checkin or so. I don't have connected a pdm system at the moment so i can't look for the right way to find these buttons.

It would be fine if there would be an easy way to program things in toolkit with more windchill support. But ATM it is not possible as far as i know. Except you use the Windchill API.

Best regards,
