Urgent need help on creating child folder inside a parent folder using DFS.

Hi,

I am trying to create a new folder inside a parent folder, but problem is this need to happen explisity inside any folder. I am not able to get the relative path of parent folder to link the child folder to parent folder. Please suggest how to do this using DFS

EXample: /cabinet/folder1/folder2/folder3 -> I want to create folder inside folder2

/cabinet/folder2/folder1/folder2 -> I want to create folder inside folder 1.

I dont want to hardcode the folderpath.

Thanks,

Vishal

If you can't get the full path of the folder that you want to create the new one in, what can you get? Are you able to get the object id of the folder you wish to create the new one in?

Without either a path or an object id there will be no way to create a new folder.

If you have the object id of the parent folder you can retrieve the path and use that to create the new folder.

At least, you'd need to know the identity of current folder, either full path or id, rt? Assumed that you have the id of current folder, now you have two ways to create a child folder in it.

1) Use object service to create a new folder object "folder3", by specifying one reference relationship

ReferenceRelationship("folder", parent, <ID of folder2>)

2. Use object service to get property "r_folder_path" of the folder "folder2", and then construct the full path of a new child folder, <Full path of folder2>/folder3. Then use object service to create the path.

Hi,

I am using the following code to create folder

ObjectPath folderPath = new ObjectPath();
folderPath.Path = targetLocPathString;
ObjectPath folderPath = new ObjectPath(targetLocPathString);
ObjectIdentity toFolderIdentity = new ObjectIdentity();
toFolderIdentity.Value = folderPath;

ObjectIdentity sampleObjId = new ObjectIdentity(repositoryName);
DataObject sampleDataObject = new DataObject(sampleObjId, "dm_folder");
sampleDataObject.Properties.Set("object_name", objectName);
sampleDataObject.Properties.Set("Title",desc);

// add the folder to link to as a ReferenceRelationship
ObjectPath objectPath = new ObjectPath(folderPath);
ObjectIdentity sampleFolderIdentity = new ObjectIdentity(objectPath, repositoryName);
ReferenceRelationship sampleFolderRelationship = new ReferenceRelationship();
sampleFolderRelationship.Name = Relationship.RELATIONSHIP_FOLDER;
sampleFolderRelationship.Target = sampleFolderIdentity;
sampleFolderRelationship.TargetRole = Relationship.ROLE_PARENT;
sampleDataObject.Relationships.Add(sampleFolderRelationship);

// create a new folder and linked into parent folder
OperationOptions operationOptions = null;
DataPackage dataPackage = new DataPackage(sampleDataObject);
objectService.Create(dataPackage, operationOptions);
