QMS API - return DocumentFolder from a path string

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I have a simple question about the QMS API.

I have the path for a source document folder and I want to return the DocumentFolder object by just having the string with this path.

The method GetDocumentFolder requires two parameters: a Guid and a Scope and I do not have the Guid. Actually I want the Guid but I have only the path as a string.

Is this simple task possible?

By the way, I have installed QV and QV Server/Publisher 11 SR1.

You need a guid, look at a complete sample on how to access the QMS API.

Guid is not related to the folder but to the service.

The samples are too simple, as usual. They do not help on what I am doing, as usual. Anyway, thank you for answering. I think I am close to the solutiuon.

I agree about the lack of more complex samples, it seemed to me you were a bit lost trying to get the guid, something that is done correctly in the samples.

What you have to do is GetSourceDocumentFolders() by supplying the Guid for the QDS and then the scope of the Source Documents. This will return all Source Document folders and then you will just have to loop through them to find the one that you want. In there, you will find the Guid for each document and you will be able to find the path.
