WorkspaceManager's findAllWorkspaceNames() just stream names

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

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,

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.
