From a Senior SDL Developer...

Concerning the issue (AnalyzeFiles and PreTranslateFilesTasks inProject Automation API Ignore Server TMs), I created a test with the following code:

static void TestProjectAnalysisReportWithServerTm()

{

    // 1. create project

    var infoProjectToCreate = new ProjectInfo()

                                    {

                                        Name = "Costas Nadalis",

                                        Description = "AnalyzeFiles inProject Automation API Ignore Server TMs",

                                        DueDate = new DateTime(2013, 6, 6),

                                       SourceLanguage = new Language("en-US"),

                                        TargetLanguages = new Language[] {new Language("de-DE")},

                                        LocalProjectFolder = @"D:\tout\1"

                                    };

    var templatePath = @"C:\Users\xliu\Documents\Studio 2011--\Project Templates\Default.sdltpl";           

    var project = new FileBasedProject(infoProjectToCreate, new ProjectTemplateReference(templatePath));

    // 2. configure the TM:

    var tmProviderConfig = project.GetTranslationProviderConfiguration();

    var tmServer = new TranslationProviderServer(new Uri("http://shdevgs2011:80"), false, "sa", "sa");

    var serverTm = tmServer.GetTranslationMemory("/SDL Trados Studio/TestServerTM", TranslationMemoryProperties.All);

    var tmProviderRef = new TranslationProviderReference(serverTm.Uri, serverTm.SerializeState(), true);

    var providerEntry = new TranslationProviderCascadeEntry(tmProviderRef, true, true, true);

    tmProviderConfig.Entries.Add(providerEntry);

    project.AddMasterTM(tmProviderConfig, "de-DE");

    //3. add files to the project

    var sourceFile = @"C:\Users\xliu\Documents\Studio 2011--\Projects\Samples\SampleProject\en-US\TryPerfectMatch.doc";

    project.AddFiles(new string[] { sourceFile });

    project.Save();

    //4. run the tasks

    var automaticTask = project.RunAutomaticTasks(project.GetSourceLanguageFiles().GetIds(),

                                                    new string[]

                                                        {

                                                            AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.Scan,

                                                            AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.ConvertToTranslatableFormat,

                                                            AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.CopyToTargetLanguages,

                                                            AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.AnalyzeFiles

                                                        });

    //5. check analysis results

    var analysisSettings = project.GetSettings().GetSettingsGroup<AnalysisTaskSettings>();

    // here I might cusomize the settings, but I decide to use the default settings

    var statistics = project.GetProjectStatistics().TargetLanguageStatistics[0].AnalysisStatistics;

    Console.WriteLine("Analysis result for the project:");

    Console.WriteLine("new segments: {0}", statistics.New.Segments);

    Console.WriteLine("context match: {0}", statistics.InContextExact.Segments);

    Console.WriteLine("100%: {0}", statistics.Exact.Segments);

}

My test file has 20 segments and 19 of them are already in my server TM.  Here is the printed results:

It accounts 18 of them as matched in context, and 1 of them is 100% match.

HI Ian and Senior SDL Developer,

Thanks a million, I changed the Server TM addition section based on the above and it worked.

Thanks again for your support, time and efforts,

Best regards,

Costas

How about if the project uses a project template which already has server TM assigned?

The code seems to return following error at project.AddMasterTM(tmProviderConfig, "de-DE");

Inner Exception: System.ArgumentException: The combination of Uri and State properties for the main translation providers should be unique within the list of entries.

If I do not call AddMasterTM, message comes back with AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.AnalyzeFiles saying 

Unexpected exception when initializing task 'File Analysis': Failed to create an instance of translation provider 'sdltm.http://sdlgroupshare/?orgPath=/Localization NIC&tmName=LV - French - Main Server TM'..

Thank you,

Rieko
