postCreateAsset

void postCreateAsset(
    AssetTransaction* txn, 
    const std::string& assetType,
    const StringMap& assetFields, 
    const StringMap& args,
    std::string& assetId)

Finalize Katana's process of writing information to assetIds.

This function gets similar arguments to createAssetAndPaths. Katana will call this after it has finished writing files to the assetId resolved location. At minimum, this function doesn't need to do anything. It can simply convert assetFields into assetId using getAssetFields.

Katana will only call this after createAssetAndPaths has completed successfully. Be aware that call could have happened in a different process on an entirely different computer. The assetFields this gets will be the getAssetFields from the results of the create call.

If the txn argument is "NULL" then this function should operate immediately. The transaction will be provided by [createTransaction] if provided by this asset plugin. If a transaction is provided, this function is free to immediately or defer creation of the asset until the commit or cancel method is called.

The assetType is a string enumerated by Katana's asset type constants like kFnAssetTyleLookFile or kFnAssetTypeLiveGroup.

The args is a customizeable collection of information to control the asset creation. Common arg values are "versionUp" and "fileExtension". Other values are for specific types of output like "colorspace" used by the when creating kFnAssetTypeImage. Many of these args will come from the hints provided by properties. See createAssetAndPaths for more information about this string map.

If an error occurs, set the assetId to an empty string to indicate a problem. There is no way to inform the caller of what went wrong or why. The code can call FnLogError to at least get information to where someone could see it.
