How do I get the uuid of a node?

fcpa — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:34:30 GMT

Hi,I have figured out that in order to delte a node I require its uuid. I only have the full pathname of the node, and not its uuid. Is there a way of obtaining the node uuid given that I only know the pathname?I'm using web services API and C#Any help would be appreciated.–Bob

Hi,

You could query for the node using the path. From the resultset you can get the node uuid.

You can delete a object by its path, not only by uuid. The CML "delete" statement accepts in the predicate the path or the uuid of the node to be deleted.
