Connect to a Folder in DesignSync

If you have checkin access to a business object, you can use the Connect Businessobject command to connect (associate) a new or an existing configuration of a folder in DesignSync (vcfolder).

This MQL shows how to connect to a folder:

connect businessobject BO_NAME vcfolder path PATH config NAME [VCFOLDER_ITEM {VCFOLDER_ITEM}];
  • BO_NAME is the business object you are associating with the vcfolder.
  • PATH is the string that identifies the path of folders leading to the vcfolder relative to the path defined in the store identifying the server.
  • config NAME is the name of the configuration in the DesignSync server which contains the folder.
  • VCFOLDER_ITEM is a connect businessobject clause providing information about the connection you are creating. The different clause options are:

store NAME

format NAME

description STRING

Each clause is described in the previous section.

The following error message may occur after attempting to connect a business object in 3DSpace with a file or folder in a DesignSync server:

  Error: #1900068: add store failed  Error: #1900346:
DesignSync server at host faure.matrixone.net port 30080 could not be
found.

This error indicates the lack of an authenticated connection to the DesignSync server. This may be the result of a network problem, an incorrect server url, a server not running, or the 3DSpace user defined is not authenticated by that server.
