The workspace template or archive is specified as a parameter.

Element

Data type

Description

CreateFromGSA2Result

xs:anyURI

Provides a target URI for the ReadSpace operation for the newly created workspace.

Remarks

A workspace template typically does not contain tool data. This differs from a workspace archive, which typically does contain tool data. Note that the Forms tool internal data that defines the design of the Forms tool is always included in both workspace templates and archives.

Note

This operation is available only for templates and archives of Groove 2007-compatible workspaces. If the GSAContents element specifies a template or archive for a 2010 workspace, the operation returns a SOAP exception. This operation is only available on systems where Groove Web Services Version 2.1 is available. See Testing for Groove Web Services Version 2.1 for more information.
