How to delete a file object in RTC Programatically using Java plain APIs ?

Jazzuser user (68●10●50) | asked Mar 07 '18, 2:54 a.m.

Hello Team,

I have a scenario, wherein I have to delete the file already present in RTC Stream. I need to delete a particular file, checkin as a changeset and then deliver the changeset with the deleted file. All this should be done using RTC APIs.

I already have code for creating the repo workspace for the stream. get the files from that components. now i need to delete some files.

Are there any APIs to delete the particular file already existing in stream ?

Thanks.

I got the solution :

                   IConfigurationOpFactory opFactory = fRepoWsConn.configurationOpFactory();
                   opFactory.delete(foundItem);

                   Collection ops = new ArrayList();
                   ops.add(fRepoWsConn.configurationOpFactory().delete(foundItem));
                   IUpdateReport r = fRepoWsConn.commit(Collections.singletonList(getChangeSet("Deleting File")), Collections.singletonList(ops), null);

https://jazz.net/library/article/1006 explains what can be deleted.
To find out what API that is, you could try to debug the Eclipse client. I had a quick look, but was unable to find the action at the moment.

Thanks for the reply Ralph,
we have the following code to file the IVersionable of the file.
             Map<String, IVersionableHandle> handles = fConfiguration.childEntries( parentFolder, fMonitor);
             IVersionableHandle foundHandle = handles.get(name);
             if(null!=foundHandle){
                 return fConfiguration.fetchCompleteItem(foundHandle, fMonitor);
            }
Is there any APIs to delete the file with this IVersionable or we also have the IFileItem of the file.

I found following API on searching in the RTC plugins :
com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal package : /**
* Deletes this storage object plus any children. The order in which the children are deleted
public abstract void delete(IProgressMonitor monitor) throws FileSystemException;

Could you pelase suggest on this.

Thanks
