WorkspaceManager's findAllWorkspaceNames() just stream names

0
Oliver Drees (13●3●3) | asked Aug 03 '11, 10:40 a.m.
Somewhere in the forum I found an example on how to get workspace names of a process area and tried to use it like this: 


IProcessArea processArea = getProject(projectName); // a method I wrote to get the the project from RTC

IWorkspaceManager wm = SCMPlatform.getWorkspaceManager(getRepository());

Set workspacesSet = wm.findAllWorkspaceNames(processArea, new MyMonitor());


However the findAllWorkspaceNames methods just returns the stream names of the process area.

When I trie a different approch using workspace search like the following I get no workspace handles back like I would imagine: 



IWorkspaceSearchCriteria wsSearchCriteria = WorkspaceSearchCriteria.FACTORY.newInstance();

wsSearchCriteria.setKind(IWorkspaceSearchCriteria.WORKSPACES);

wsSearchCriteria.setExactOwnerName(processArea.getName());

List <IWorkspaceHandle> workspaceHandles = wm.findWorkspaces(wsSearchCriteria, Integer.MAX_VALUE, new MyMonitor());


The resulting List is empty.

I tried with RTC 3.0.1 plainjava API.

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong or if there is a bug with the API? Or can anybody point me to some documentation to get further information on this?

Thank you in advance,

Workspaces are owned by users, not by project or team areas.

I see my misunderstanding regarding users and project areas.

But why does 

Set workspacesSet = wm.findAllWorkspaceNames(processArea, new

MyMonitor());


gives me the names of the streams and not of the workspaces as the method name says? Is this a bug?

I tried to get all worspace names and wanted to open workspace connections for them to get further information of each workspace.

As far as I now understand I have to create a search criteria for the kind workspaces. With that I get back WorkspaceHandles with all workspaces in the repository. With them I can get IWorkspaceConnection objects to work with further. However I do not see how I can decide on if a workspace belongs to the project area I want to look at.

Is there a way to get the name of the project area from the work space handle?

Best Regards,

I'm not fluent in the actual API calls, but I can provide some
conceptual guidance.

Under the hood, streams and workspaces have a shared implementation.
This sometimes shows through in the API, where "workspace" means
"workspace or stream".

So that probably is the case for the findAllWorkspaceNames, and since
streams belong to a process area while workspaces do not, that would
explain why you are only getting streams back from your query.

WRT finding out the process area of a stream (as a reminder, a
repository workspace does not belong to a process area), I'll have to
defer that to an API expert. One possibility would be to look at the
owner field.

Geoff
