OpenRepository method

Opens a vault for reading or writing. The parameters determine the view on the vault.

Syntax

Sub OpenRepository(
        [DataStoreName As String],
        [SectionName As String],
        [Moment],
        [WorkPackage As AMWorkPackage],
        [UserMode As Boolean = True],
        [Environment As AMEDMEnvironment],
        [TRANSACTIONMODE As TRANSACTIONMODE = TM_READCOMMITTEDCACHED],
        [lpAMAsyncErrorSink As IAMAsyncErrorSink])
Sub OpenRepositoryEx(
        [DataStoreName As String],
        [SectionName As String],
        [Moment],
        [WorkPackage],
        [Reserved As Boolean = False],
        [Environment As AMEDMEnvironment],
        [TRANSACTIONMODE As TRANSACTIONMODE = TM_READCOMMITTEDCACHED],
        [lpAMAsyncErrorSink As IAMAsyncErrorSink])

Parameters
Name	Description
DataStoreName	See Remarks.
SectionName	See Remarks.
Moment	See Remarks.
WorkPackage	See Remarks.
UserMode	Default is True. To open the vault in Submitted mode, this argument should be False.
Environment	Reserved. See About reserved objects, methods, and properties. Must be Nothing.
TransactionMode	Use the default value TM_READCOMMITTEDCACHED.
lpAMAsyncErrorSink	Reserved. See About reserved objects, methods, and properties. Must be Nothing.

Remarks

Meridian Enterprise client applications use the AMDocumentRepository object as the connection to the EDM server. To access a specific vault on the server, any client must call OpenRepository(Ex).

Opening the vault will start a database transaction. Changes to the vault will be saved when the transaction is committed using CloseRepository method or ReOpen method.

Any call to OpenRepository(Ex) must be matched with a call to CloseRepository method. There can be intermediate calls to ReOpen method.

DataStoreName

Each vault is stored in a separate DataStore (see About property effectivity). If you omit this argument, the datastore for the default vault will be opened.

To open another vault, use the name of the datastore that stores the vault.

SectionName

Specifies the name of the vault that will be opened. Leave this value empty to open the default section of the vault.

Moment

Specifies the DATE at which to open the vault in history mode. By default the vault is opened in the present time.

WorkPackage

By default the vault is opened in the context of the Main area. You can open the vault in a work area by passing a reference to the AMWorkPackage object.

OpenRepositoryEx also accepts a work area ID.
