DEVELOPERS FORUM - Create a Document, and add that to an Item type onSave.

Vardhan - Tuesday, January 22, 2013 5:48 AM:

Hi all,

   While creating a document, If I select document's Type as 'Software' then the document should be related automatically to a part whose 'Type' is Software on saving the document. 

How to do this? 

I' m thinking that the code should be something like this:

Dim innovator As Innovator = Me.getInnovator()

Dim classification As String = Me.getProperty("classification")

If classification = "Software" Then 

Dim part As Item =innovator.newItem("Part","get")

part.setAttribute("select","classification")

part.setProperty("classification","software")

part.setPropertyCondition("classification","like")

Dim result As Item = part.Apply()

''' Code to relate this document to the part'''

End If

 But no luck in finding the code to relate the document.   Please help me.

Thank you .

Hi Vardh,

Find below sample code for relating the Document with Part:

''' Start Code to relate this document to the part'''

Dim cnt As Integer=result.getItemCount() - 1

For i = 0 To cnt

Dim partDocument As Item =innovator.newItem("Part Document","add")

partDocument.setProperty("source_id",result.getItemByIndex(i).getProperty("id"))

partDocument.setProperty("related_id",itemId)

Dim partDocumentRes As Item=partDocument.apply()

Next i

''' End Code to relate this document to the part'''

Thanks-Vasant

Hi Vasant,

 Thanks for your help.  What is the 'itemId' in the above code? It is not declared any where. Is that the Id of document? 

 Vardh.

Hi,

Yes, itemId is the id of the document saved.

Dim itemId  As String=Me.getProperty("id")

Thanks-Vasant
