Workspace InternalIDToVersionID Method

This method translates an internal object-version identifier into an object-version identifier.

This method is not attached to the default interface for the repository Automation object; it is attached to the IRepository interface. For more information about accessing a member of an interface that is not the default interface, see Accessing Automation Object Members.

Syntax

variable  =  object.InternalIDToVersionID(internalVersionId)

The InternalIDToVersionID method syntax has the following parts.

Part Description
variable Receives the object-version identifier
object The object that represents the current workspace through which this program is interacting with the repository
internalVersionId The internal object-version identifier to be converted
Remarks

Repository object-version identifiers are globally unique, and they are the same across repositories for the same object version. Internal object-version identifiers are unique only within the scope of a single repository.

The translation performed by this method is performed without loading the object-version in question. This enables database queries involving an object or relationship type identifier to be constructed without having to load the definition object.
