CreateWorkspace() fails to set projects.subtype

wolfgang

Hello.

I am trying to create a workspace via the IManage API. I am calling the CreateWorkspace() method of the IManDatabase object and setting some
properties like name and description. There are no errors reported or Exceptions thrown. However, the new workspace does not show up in DeskSite.

Compared to a workspace manually created with DeskSite, the only difference seems to be the subtype field of the projects table -- the manually created workspace has 'work' in the subtype field, the other one created with the API has NULL. If I change the subtype value to 'work' in the SQL database, the workspace shows up after a refresh.

What am I missing?

The code I am using follows the manual:

[C#]
// Create the Workspace
// -- db is a valid IManDatabase object
//
IManWorkspace newWorkspace = db.CreateWorkspace();
newWorkspace.SetAttributeByID(imProfileAttributeID.imProfileName, "New Workspace");
string tmpfileName = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName();
IManProfileUpdateResult result = newWorkspace.UpdateAllWithResult(tmpfileName);
if (result.Succeeded) {
// success
} else {
// no success -- is not reached
}

Regards,
Wolfgang

Set the subtype of the workspace to "work" before calling UpdateAllWithResult(), like so:

newWorkspace.SubType = "work";
