Workspace Object

The DevOps Plan workspace consists of a folder hierarchy where queries, charts and reports are stored. The CQWorkSpaceMgr object provides an interface for manipulating saved queries, reports, and charts in the DevOps Plan workspace.

You can use this object:

• To write external applications to examine the contents of the DevOps Plan workspace.

If you already have a Session object, you can get the Workspace object associated with the current session by calling the Session object's GetWorkSpace method.

Your Perl code uses this syntax:

$wkspcObj = new CQWorkSpaceMgr 

Before you can use a Workspace object created using CreateObject, you must assign a Session object to it. To assign a Session object, you must call the SetSession method of the Workspace object.

You use the methods of the Workspace object to get information about the contents of the DevOps Plan workspace. You can get a list of the queries, charts, or reports in the workspace. You can also separate items based on whether they are in the Public Queries folder or in a user's Personal Queries folder.

For each folder type, it is designated as either a public or user (personal) folder, which is enumerated under the WorkspaceFolderType. The two top folders for a workspace are always a public and a personal folder, which are created automatically when a DevOps Plan user database is created.

You can also use this object to save queries back to the workspace.

Each workspace item has a dbid assigned to it and its type is enumerated under WorkspaceItemType in compass.bas.
