(VBScript) SharePoint -- Check In a File

In SharePoint, you can check out a file to make sure nobody can change it before you update it. After updating, you can check in the file. This example shows how to check in a SharePoint file.

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

' This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

' If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
' Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
http.Login = "SHAREPOINT_USERNAME"
http.Password = "SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD"
http.LoginDomain = "SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN"
http.NtlmAuth = 1

' The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
' If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
' establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

' This example will check in the file named "penguins2.jpg" 
' which is located in the "/Documents" folder.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.HttpRequest")
set req = CreateObject("Chilkat.HttpRequest")
req.HttpVerb = "POST"
' Note that our path uses GetFileByServerRelativeUrl and not GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl
' Also, if your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, the URL is formatted like this (where "teamA" is the name of the site)
' /sites/teamA/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/teamA/Documents/penguins2.jpg')/CheckIn(comment='Comment',checkintype=0)
req.Path = "/_api/web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/Documents/penguins2.jpg')/CheckIn(comment='Comment',checkintype=0)"

' We need to add a form digest value in the X-RequestDigest header field.
' See this example for details on
' how to get (and cache) a form digest value
req.AddHeader "X-RequestDigest","SHAREPOINT_FORM_DIGEST"

' Send the POST using HTTPS (TLS). Port 443 is the default port for https.
bUseTls = 1
' resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
Set resp = http.SynchronousRequest("SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN",443,bUseTls,req)
If (http.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' The response body contains XML.
' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Xml")
set xml = CreateObject("Chilkat.Xml")
success = xml.LoadXml(resp.BodyStr)

If (resp.StatusCode <> 200) Then
    outFile.WriteLine("Response status code = " & resp.StatusCode)
    outFile.WriteLine(xml.GetXml())
    outFile.WriteLine("Failed")

    WScript.Quit
End If

' Show the successful XML response.
outFile.WriteLine(xml.GetXml())
outFile.WriteLine("Success.")

' A successful XML response looks like this:
' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
