Traverse through all folders and projects under a project

Hi all, I need to traverse through all the projects, folders and modules present under a specific project. I tried to use a recursive approach but my execution is getting timed out :

void recurseFolders( Item parentItem ) {
   string itemType = type( parentItem )
   if ( ( itemType == "Folder" ) || ( itemType == "Project" ) ) {
      Item childItem
      for childItem in folder( parentItem ) do {
         recurseFolders( childItem )
      }
   }

// Some operations

}

recurseFolders(item("/filePath"))

When I'm running the same script at a lower level i.e with less number of folders and projects, it is working fine.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Timed out? DOORS has script execution timing check, you can set values for that or disable that by setting pragma runLim (google that)

More http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21407421

Otherwise see the folder recursion template at http://www.smartdxl.com/content/?p=442

Hi. Thanks a lot for your input. The folder recursion template works fine.

But at the same time while recursing the various items, I need to fetch the access rights of different users associated with that item. I am having trouble doing that. Could you help?

Thanks, again.

See (again) in SmartDXL this script http://www.smartdxl.com/content/?p=385

Yes. My original question is regarding this script only. Execution is getting timed out.

What do you mean by timed out? Did you check the pragma runLim setting?

Yes. I have set it 0.

By timed out, I mean... when I'm recursing through smaller number of folders and projects, it is working fine but when the number of folders, projects and modules increase, the execution is halted because of time out.

This is in regard to this template : http://www.smartdxl.com/content/?p=385

what version of DOORS are you running this is a defect(just don't recall the version) for iterating over folders/depths

Thank you so much for your concern. I'm using version 9.6.

While running the above code I get errors for the header files that you have included :

--------

-E- DXL: <Line:4> could not open include file (C:\DXL\FX\includes\64Bit.inc) (No such file or directory)
-E- DXL: <Line:4> syntax error
-I- DXL: All done. Errors reported: 2. Warnings reported: 0.

Thanks a lot again.

Also, the template here  - http://www.smartdxl.com/content/?p=442  for recursing the folders and projects works fine. I am able to traverse through every folder/project/module. But in this I am facing problems accessing the access rights for different users for the every folder/project/module scanned.

Could you please help me with this?

Which problems?
