Adding Version attributes via webservice

web-app

Hi

I have a fragment of code that attempts to add version attribute to a freshly created project.

_aWSProxyHelper= new ProxyHelper(WebServicesConstants.GEMINIWSURL)
...
// Add a project using _aWSProxyHelper.ProjectsProxy.CreateProject(project);
...
VersionAttributeValueEN releaseDateAttrib = new VersionAttributeValueEN();
 releaseDateAttrib.AttributeName = "ReleaseDate";
 releaseDateAttrib.AttributeValue = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
 releaseDateAttrib.ProjectID = _projID;
 releaseDateAttrib.AttributeID = 0;
 releaseDateAttrib.VersionID = 0;
 releaseDateAttrib.AttributeValueID = 0;

_aWSProxyHelper.VersionsProxy.CreateVersionAttributeValue(releaseDateAttrib);
...

Unfortunately the last line results in the following exception:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException was unhandled
  Message="Server was unable to process request. --> You do not have the privileges to create version attributes for this project"
  Source="System.Web.Services"
  Actor=""
  Lang=""
  Node=""
  Role=""
  StackTrace:
       at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall)
...

Prior to calling the above fragment I have made a call to _aWSProxyHelper.SetAuthenticationTokenOnAllServices(userName, password)

Any pointers would be appreciated.

The error indicates that the user you have used does not have the permissions to create a project version attribute. It needs to be either an admin or project admin.

Does your user have these permissions?

Hi Saar

I have used the example "admin" username and "admin" password to call

 SetAuthenticationTokenOnAllServices("admin", "admin")

and .AuthenticateProxy.LogIn("admin", WebServicesConstants.GEMINIWINACCESSCODE)

as per the webservices example.

The "jon smith" admin example account can create a version attribute from a browser.

Cheers

Hi Richard,

I can confirm that this is a BUG in the versions web service. At the moment you can do this only if you are an admin AND a project admin. You can give your user project admin via the "User Security" page -> click on the project in question, select "Project Administrator" and the user.

Also, make sure that your version & attribute IDs are populated.
