Snapshot Creation

[sajidhashmi]

Hi,

I am trying to create a snapshot from iModel file. Found createFrom() and createEmpty() as two ways to do so. Is there any option to provide a file which is locally saved from which snapshot can be created?
Also, when I try by sending BriefcaseDb as seedFile, I get the error that BE_SQLITE_MISUSE: Cannot create a snapshot from an encrypted iModel. While doing this, I am first downloading Briefcase from iModel using BriefcaseManager.download() and then using BriefcaseDb.open(). Am I missing any step in between?

Any help would be appreciated.

The createFrom() API takes an IModelDb parameter (an open iModel) instead of a file name to ensure that you have permission to open the file before allowing its contents to be copied. You would just call one of the open methods on the seed file before passing the returned IModelDb into createFrom().

Your error message suggests that the iModel that you are trying to copy has a password or encryption key protecting its contents. The first step would be to confirm whether or not that is true.
