I have the following code that is resulting in very odd behavior using QMSAPI for QlikView v11. In the method below, I am starting small and only attempting to add a DocumentFolder to the QDS.General.Source Folders locale. Once I'm complete there, I'll need to add Document Administrator user names to that new DocumentFolder (hence my naming in the code below).
I'm only scoping to the General of the QDS adding in my folder and saving; however, I'm getting errors regarding a QVSID Guid. Even when I *include* the Services member of my new DocumentFolder class and define a QVSID there, I get this error. Any thoughts? All help much appreciated!

public static void AddDocumentAdministrators(string sourceDocumentsPath, List<string> users)
{
try
{
// create a QMS API client
IQMS apiClient = new QMSClient();
//retrieve a time limited service key
ServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.ServiceKey = apiClient.GetTimeLimitedServiceKey();
ServiceInfo qdsService = apiClient.GetServices(ServiceTypes.QlikViewDistributionService).FirstOrDefault();
QDSSettings qdsSettings = apiClient.GetQDSSettings(qdsService.ID, QDSSettingsScope.All);
List<DocumentFolder> sourceFolders = qdsSettings.General.SourceFolders;
DocumentFolder tenantFolder = new DocumentFolder();
tenantFolder.General = new DocumentFolder.DocumentFolderGeneral();
tenantFolder.General.Type = DocumentFolderType.Source;
tenantFolder.General.Path = sourceDocumentsPath;
tenantFolder.General.SendAlertEmailForDocumentAdministrators = false;
tenantFolder.Scope = DocumentFolderScope.General;
sourceFolders.Add(tenantFolder);
apiClient.SaveQDSSettings(qdsSettings);
}
catch (System.Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message + e.InnerException + e.StackTrace);
}
}
}
My Error:
