Quick Question about Folder Framework Services

Question

Ok so I set up and am learning how to use RIDC to talk to UCM, I don't really need help in that regard.  My question is I'm reading the Folders Services documentation and was reading "FLD_CREATE_FOLDER" and was at a loss.  One how would I find the GUID for the parent folder, and second I'm not seeing a way to add the name of the new folder.  I'm at a bit of a loss with this one hoping somone can point me in the right direction.

Hi ,
To get the GUID for parent folder you can use either the service FLD_INFO along with IsJava=1 parameter or run the DB query on FolderMetaDefaults table .
1. Service part :
From the browser use the following service call :
http://ucmhostname:port/cs/idcplg?IdcService=FLD_INFO&path=/Folder1
here path refers to the hierarchical structure for the actual one under which we need to create a new one .
For eg : if Folder1 is created under root and under that we have to create a new sub-folder then path=/Folder1
If under Folder1 we have subFolder1 then path =/Folder1/subFolder1.
From that under ResultSet "FolderInfo" search for fFolderGUID and use that as the value for fParentGUID
Sample code : https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2554885
So the code would be like this :
           dataBinder.putLocal("IdcService","FLD_CREATE_FOLDER");
            dataBinder.putLocal("fParentGUID","FLD_ROOT");
            dataBinder.putLocal("fFolderName","RIDCFF1");
Above example creates a new folder under root itself .
Hope this helps .
