Hello Community,
how can I get the next possible lifecycle states of an Aras Item using API ? My problem is that I will get all next states and not only the "allowed" - there must be an identity of the current user.
I found no API which returns a List of assigned Identities.
// Returnvalue
List<string> nextLifecycleStates = new List<string>();
// Ermitteln des Aras-Items zum PLM Object
Innovator Inno = this.getInnovator();
// read the current state of my item
string currentState = this.getProperty("current_state");
// read the transformations
Item transitionItem = Inno.newItem("Life Cycle Transition", "get");
transitionItem.setProperty("from_state", currentState);
Item transitionItems = transitionItem.apply();
if (!transitionItems.isError())
{
for (int iCurrentItem = 0; iCurrentItem < transitionItems.getItemCount(); iCurrentItem++)
{
Item currentItem = transitionItems.getItemByIndex(iCurrentItem);
// Get the "To-State Item"
string toStateItemID = currentItem.getProperty("to_state");
Item toStateItem = Inno.getItemById("Life Cycle State", toStateItemID);
// Add to result
if(!nextLifecycleStates.Contains(toStateItem.getProperty("name","")))
{
nextLifecycleStates.Add(toStateItem.getProperty("name",""));
}
}
}
// Returnvalue
return nextLifecycleStates;

Hello Jens, I do not remember the answer to either question (how to get allowed next LC states, or how to get Identity List), but I have done both in the past, so I know it is possible. I can tell you first how I find the answer. The standard client has a dialog which somehow shows the actual allowed next LifeCycle states for the selected item and for the current user. Normally I will look in the code of the client to answer most of my own questions. Sometimes you will see several calls with logic in JS, other times you will see 1 call to the server using a special method name. The client JS libraries are where I find the best approaches to solving ptoblems.
