SDK: Find user's portable directory location

I'm using the SDK API functions to display the IIntegrationDlg.DocOpenDlg. When a user selects a document, I would like to save a copy of that document into the user's portable directory (typically C:\NrPortbl\[databse]\[username]\)without checking out the document.

I have found 2 commands that do half of what I want, but am still searching for the complete solution.

If I use the IManage.NRTDocument.GetCopy function, then the file is not checked out, but I have to supply the path to the portable directory, which I do not know how to retreive.

If I use the IMANEXTLib.OpenCmd command, then the file is saved to the portable directory automatically, but it is also checked out, which I don't want.

How do I determine the user's portable directory so that I can use the GetCopy function?

OR, is there a way to tell the OpenCmd to simply get a copy of the file and NOT check it out?

Thanks,
Dennis

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish, exactly, here. However, You could look at using the export command, write a custom dochistory entry, and copy it to the users portable directory.

There isn't a direct API that navigates you to the user's portable path. What you could do is to build it programmatically by:

1. From the client machine, read in the portable drive from the registry key setting: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Interwoven\WorkSite\8.0\Common\General\Portable]

2. Via the API's, get the user's userid and dataabase to construct the path. Example:

[C#]


//Assuming the portable drive read from the registry key setting is "C:"
//Assuming doc is a valid IManDocument object
string sPortablePath = @C:\ + "NrPortbl\" + doc.Database.Name + "\" + doc.Database.Session.UserID + "\";
