In Vault Explorer you can use the Update command to make the version of an associated file the latest version.
This C# example shows how this update is done through the API using ItemService.PromoteComponents().
You can test this code by adding a button to this SDK sample:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Autodesk Vault 2014 SDK\VS10\CSharp\ItemEditor”
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (m_selectedItem == null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Select an Item first");
return;
}
long[] itemRevisionIds = new long[1];
itemRevisionIds[0] = m_selectedItem.RevId;
Item[] itemsToCommit = new Item[0];
long[] itemsToCommit_Ids = new long[0];
try
{
ItemService itemSvc =
m_connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService;
itemSvc.UpdatePromoteComponents(itemRevisionIds);
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
long[] compO =
itemSvc.GetPromoteComponentOrder(out now);
ArrayList compOrder = new ArrayList(compO);
ArrayList subSet = new ArrayList();
int setSize = 100;
int setNum = 0;
//get full sets
while (setNum < compOrder.Count / setSize)
{
subSet = compOrder.GetRange
(setNum * setSize, setSize);
itemSvc.PromoteComponents
(now, (long[])subSet.ToArray(typeof(long)));
setNum++;
}
//get remaining set
if (compOrder.Count % setSize > 0)
{
subSet = compOrder.GetRange
(setNum * setSize, compOrder.Count % setSize);
itemSvc.PromoteComponents
(now, (long[])subSet.ToArray(typeof(long)));
}
ItemsAndFiles result = itemSvc.
GetPromoteComponentsResults(now);
Item[] items = null;
items = result.ItemRevArray;
int[] statusArray = result.StatusArray;
// loop through the Items in the ItemRevArray
for (int i = 0; i < items.Length; i++)
{
// see if the item in the ItemRevArray
//has been updated (not equal to 1)
if (statusArray[i] != 1)
{
//change the size of the array
Array.Resize(ref itemsToCommit,
itemsToCommit.Length + 1);
//add the updated item to the array
//that will be committed
itemsToCommit[itemsToCommit.Length - 1]
= items[i];
}
}
//commit the updated items
itemSvc.UpdateAndCommitItems(itemsToCommit);
// Testing catch - this could cause error
// as items contains Items that may
// not need to be updated
// itemSvc.UpdateAndCommitItems(items);
}
catch
{
// get the items that need to be undone
for (int i = 0; i < itemsToCommit.Length; i++)
{
// change the size of the array
// of Ids (long)
Array.Resize(ref itemsToCommit_Ids,
itemsToCommit_Ids.Length + 1);
//Add the id to the array that will be
// used in UndoEditItems()
itemsToCommit_Ids
[itemsToCommit_Ids.Length - 1]
= itemsToCommit[i].Id;
}
m_connection.WebServiceManager.ItemService.
UndoEditItems(itemsToCommit_Ids);
}
}
