Exceptions

Exception	Condition
System ArgumentNullException	If any of the arguments are null.
System ArgumentNullException	If any of the paths in itemPaths are null.
System ArgumentException	If destinationFolder is not a folder.
System ArgumentException	If dataSource is not a data source.
System ArgumentException	If itemPaths contains no paths.
System ArgumentException	If name conflict resolution is not a valid member of that enum.
Spotfire.Dxp.Framework.ApplicationModel CanceledException	If the user aborts the operation.
Spotfire.Dxp.Data.Exceptions InformationModelException	If an error occurs in the communication with the server.

Remarks

The method will recursively create a folder structure matching catalogs, schemas etc. it is given. When it finds tables it will create information links containing all the columns in those. Procedures will also get an information link each if they return data. If the operation is aborted either by the user or by an error, anything created so far will remain on the server.
