Hello,
When I create a CfgPerson, I send a RequestCreateObject()
and it seems to create a Person object in the default Persons folder.

Supplying it with a folder_dbid as an argument, it creates the above
conf object in the folder with the dbid specified.

So far so good.

However, when I want to move a CfgPerson to another folder, I am expecting to be able to send a RequestUpdateObject with the folder_dbid as an argument.

However, this does nothing as far as I can tell.

Is this the expected behaviour or am I doing something wrong?

I am using the Java PSDK 8.5.

Many thanks in advance,
Chai

Hi,

The example below is provided to show how to move subfolder 'test2' from 'parentfolder' to 'newparentfolder'

1)Get the original parent folder (where 'test2' resides currently)

CfgFolderQuery parentq = new CfgFolderQuery();
parentq.Name = "parentfolder";


2)Get the new parent folder. (Where 'test2' will be moved)

CfgFolderQuery newparentq = new CfgFolderQuery();
newparentq.Name = "newparentfolder";


3) Retrieve the folders...

CfgFolder parent = confService.RetrieveObject<CfgFolder>(parentq);

CfgFolder newparent = confService.RetrieveObject<CfgFolder>(newparentq);



/*Get a list of objectIds stored in the original parent. From here, check each objectID for the type. If its a folder, check its name to ensure you are moving the desired folder. Finally,add this folder to the ObjectIds list for the new parent.

Save();
*/

Please open a case to clarify the above instructions in more details if more clarifications are required.
 

Also pay attention on the article #000050031 "How to move configuration objects from one folder to another using PSDK and AB."

Hi,
Would you know if 8.1 and 8.5 behave the same in terms of allocating an agent or person to a folder that is not the default.
Thanks
 

Chai Ang requested help on moving Person object between folders, Roman Tereschenko answered how to move a Folder object between folders !??

I think I forgot to thank Roman. Thank you, Roman :-)
Rewording.
I was asking if I can change the location of the CfgPerson by tweaking the folder id in the CfgPerson object.

Roman's answer was that one would achieve that by removing/adding the CfgPerson DBID from/to the respective folders.
