: How do I follow a shortcut programatically. I'm trying to mass-checkout files from StarTeam 5.2 repository, but shortcuts is a potential bottleneck. Please let me know if anyone has some code written for a similar task.

I don't know if this helps (different versions ..)

But I have StarTeam 5.1, and using the SDK:

IstFile object has a property: References.

It's a collection; you can systematically rip through that list (essentially an array), and find the items you're looking for.

For example:
(In PowerBuilder)

(Passed in: oleobject aole_File )

oleobject lole_Item
Long ll_FileTotal
Long ll_Counter

ll_FileTotal = aole_File.References.Count()

FOR ll_Counter = 1 TO ll_FileTotal
lole_Item = aole_File.References.Item[ll_Counter - 1]

IF lole_Item.View.Name = "yyy" THEN

// process file ...
// if it exists in the view: "yyy"

END IF
NEXT
