The Autodesk Vault Professional API enables developers to implement individual business logic handling events like check-in. Custom applications can subscribe to different event types for any Vault entity type. Handling events also includes capabilities to restrict the execution of the underlying action.
The SDK template “API Onboarding – Event Handler” provides a pre-coded starting point for new Event and Restriction Handlers targeting the client-server web service communication. Watch the video below on how to use this template.
For more details on the next steps, leverage the AU Autodesk Vault Programming 101 class. The existing AU sample code implements the legacy version of Thin Client link creation. These links are still valid but cause a re-direction. Therefore, I recommend using the newer link types that don’t cause a re-direction listed below:
File Master: “http://” + <ServerName> + “/AutodeskTC/” + <VaultName> + “/explore/file/” + <File.MasterId>
File Iteration: “http://” + <ServerName> + “/AutodeskTC/” + <VaultName> + “/explore/fileversion/” + <File.Id>
Folder: “http://” + <ServerName> + “/AutodeskTC/” + <VaultName> + “/explore/folder/” + <Folder.Id>
Item Master: “http://” + <ServerName> + “/AutodeskTC/” + <VaultName> + “/items/item/” + <Item.MasterId>
Item Iteration: “http://” + <ServerName> + “/AutodeskTC/” + <VaultName> + “/items/itemversion/” + <Item.Id>
Change Order: “http://” + <ServerName> + “/AutodeskTC/” + <VaultName> + “/changeorders/changeorder/” + <ChangeOrder.Id>
