Remarks

If the file or its file data card contents have changed, this method creates a new version.

IEdmBatchUnlock is more efficient than this interface for checking in multiple files.

See Return Codes for the complete list of potential success and error codes. The following are just a few examples:

  • S_OK: The method successfully executed.
  • S_FALSE: The method successfully executed, but as no file is modified, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional did not create a new version.
  • E_EDM_FILE_NOT_LOCKED_BY_YOU: The file is not checked out by the logged-in user.
  • E_EDM_LOCKED_ON_OTHER_COMPUTER: The file is not checked out on the client machine where you tried to check it in.
  • E_EDM_FILE_NOT_FOUND: The file is not part of the vault.
  • E_EDM_LOCAL_FILE_NOT_FOUND: There is no copy of the file in the cache folder on the client machine.
  • E_EDM_FILE_SHARE_ERROR: The file is open exclusively in another program.
  • E_EDM_CANCELLED_BY_USER: Not implemented.
  • E_EDM_INVALID_FILE: The file format is not recognized, and you have specified to not check in such files.
  • E_EDM_MISSING_MANDATORY_VALUE: The file lacks a value for a required file data card variable.
  • E_EDM_OPERATION_REFUSED_BY_PLUGIN: One of the loaded EdmCmdType.EdmCmd_PreUndoLock hooks did not permit the operation.
