Does the Vault Client API have a way to get Local Version #

Post by HenryEI » Wed May 03, 2017 3:02 pm

I need to use the Vault API to get the Local Version number being displayed on Vault to get my interface working properly. I have seen old posts with people asking for such a feature, but I never saw if it was added, and have not found a way to access it in my own inquiries.

Has this been added? If not is there a work around?

Here is what I want: Given a VaultClientFile, return the Local Version Number shown on Vault.

Did you check out this post here?
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=13968&p=58791

I'm going to move this question over to the Development Tips part of the forum so it is with the other API questions. If you have not seen that section, that's the place to check (viewforum.php?f=39).

Thank you for the reply. I had not seen that post, however it does not seem to work.

When I tried recreating this line:

WorkingFolder wf = ClientInstace.TreeCache.GetBestWorkingFolder(f.Parent);

It turned out that .GetBestWorkingFolder now returns a string, and not a working folder object so that did not work.

Where did you get the VaultClientFile object from? From the current repository? If so, :

VaultClientFile f;
long nObjectID = f.ID;
long nVersion = f.Version;
long nObjectVersionID = f.ObjVerID;

I did get the VaultClientFile from the current repository, but the information you just gave me gives me the "Remote Version" number displayed in Vault. I want the "Local Version" number.

I have no issue getting the Remote Version Number or the Status, but that Local Version number is extremely important to my current project.

Sorry. Had the wrong version in mind. Try this :

VaultClientFile file = <some vault client file from the repository>;
WorkingFolder wf = ClientInstance.GetWorkingFolder(file);
long localVersion = wf.GetDisplayVersion(file);
