DEVELOPERS FORUM - Aras 9.4 IOM problems

guido.chiavaccini - Saturday, October 5, 2013 12:42 PM:

Hi all,

I'm trying to develop some server methods on Innovator 9.4 with IOM api... but I found a strange behavior in the IOM.

Some examples:

• The method "getRelationships()" applied to an Item does not return the Items under "Relationships" tag but the same Item on which I call that method.
• The method "getRelatedItem()" called on a Relationship Item does not return the Related Item but the same Item on which I call that method.

Maybe my code is wrong... or maybe there are serious bugs in the 9.4 IOM library... Is there someone with same experience?

Thanks.

Hi Guido,

      Following code is working in my side.You can use this for reference.

       Innovator inn=this.getInnovator();

      string partAml=string.Format("<AML><Item type='Part' action='get' levels='1'><name>test</name></Item></AML>");

      Item partItem=inn.applyAML(partAml);

     if(partItem.isError()) return this;

     Item relationshipItm=partItem.getRelationships();

     // getRelationships() only return item that point to relationships of given Item.

     // If that Item doesn't have relationship then It will not point to any Item.

    // But item return by  getRelationships() and parent Item have same xml.

    // That means They share same xml and point to different node.

    //So if you try to return both item then it will always give same result.

    // if you want to check relationships then check getItemCount().

    //It count is zero then it does not have relationships.

     if(relationshipItm.getItemCount()>0)

     {

      for(int i=0;i<relationshipItm.getItemCount();i++)

       {

        Item relatedItm=relationshipItm.getItemByIndex(i).getRelatedItem();

        //write your code 

       }

     }

  return this;

  Thanks,

  Amit
