Having trouble with the ReviseFile method (ASP)

Greetings,

I am trying to revise an existing asset using the following code:


    Set oAsset = mbSession.GetAsset(sMBID)
    Set oTask = mbSession.GetTask("{1ECCFAEA-5582-412A-A826-763AAF1E0A3F}")
    Set oRunTask = oTask.CreateRunTask
    sJobID = oAsset.ReviseFile(sUNCFileName, oRunTask)

where sMBID is a valid asset identifier and sUNCFileName is a valid UNC path to the file I want to revise the asset with.

I am getting the following error:


    MBPScriptModel.MBSession error '80040431'

    The attempted operation is not allowed on this item.
    /replacePhoto.asp, line 111

where 111 is the oAsset.ReviseFile line.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

That error ususally means the user does not have permissions to revise the asset. Permissions are based on the folder containing the asset. Check the user account has at least Change permissions on the folder.
If the asset has been deleted, it will be found somewhere under the Deleted Items folder. Assets under the Deleted Items folder cannot be revised.
Assets that are checked out to one user cannot be checked in by another user.

The attempted revision is by the same user that originally inserted the asset so I see the user does have permissions to access the folder and asset.

Check MediaBin server logfile MBP.log and look for the error message to see if any additional information is provided.
If possible, try revising the same asset in exactly the same way (same UNC file path, same task, same user) using the Native Windows Client. Does the error occur? Does it occur for all assets or just this one?

Here is the error that shows in the MBP.log file for each ReviseFile method call:

04/30/07 17:18:58 ERROR: ConnId:1  Request:ReviseImageFileRequest  Reason:Error queuing job.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to connect at all via the Native Windows Client. This is simply due to a firewall rule on server end (and not something I can control). So, I'm kind of working with a blindfold.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You should be able to install the Native Windows client on the same PC where you've installed the SDK. The SDK incorporates a "stack" of API's that are used for all our client applications. The stack consists of, in this order, COM API -> C++API -> INTERNAL CLASS LIBRARY -> CACHE, EVENT, FILE TRANSFER MANAGERs. The COM API is built on top of the C++ API which is built on top of our internal class library. Your script is using the COM API. The Windows Native client talks directly to our internal class library. If there were any unforeseen issues in the C++ API or the COM API, the problem would not occur when using the Native Client. Also, the Native Client would help you verify each operation can be done successfully and isn't caused by some problem in your code.
If you are able to get your script to communicate with MB Server, then you should be able to install the Windows Native Client on the same PC. MBModel4.dll and JSTools4.dll are identical for both the Native Client and the SDK.

This difference is that the script is running on the same server as MediaBin. I only have FTP access to this server. So, I cannot connect to the server using the Native Windows client.
