Problem

Error message: TypeError: uploadFile() got an unexpected keyword argument 'createVersion'. 4.0 - Collaboration and Deployment services Custimization Reference has documentation errors. The section for uploadFile() API is in error for both, passing the file location as a fully qualified path and passing the file location as a ResourceID. From the uploadFile section (page 156 of CADS 4.0 Customization Reference on the website) 1) FULLY QUALIFIED PATH NAME: from pes.api.PESImpl import PESImpl pesImpl = PESImpl('admin', 'spss', 'localhost', '8080') # here the location to upload the file is passed as a #fully qualified path identificationSpecifier = pesImpl.uploadFile (source='C:\Temp\Temp.txt', target='/Temp Folder', createVersion=True) print identificationSpecifier.getIdentifier() print identificationSpecifier.getVersionMarker() print identificationSpecifier.getVersionLabel () When a call is made through PESImpl, an instance of identificationSpecifier is not returned or at least its properties (Identifier, Version Marker and VersionLabel) canot be interrogated as suggested by the documention. Further, the createVersion attribute does not exist but rather the versionFlag attributed has to be passed. 2) Following are multiple attempts to make it work. Ultimately you have to read the source code to see what you have to do to make it work. The explanations are in CAPITALS at the beginning of each attempt. The program comes first and the end results (errors) come immediately after.
