RE: Reverse Lookup

This may not be an exact answer to your questions, but I came across this question while attempting to solve the following issue (11.0): in ReverseItemsGrid (and PE_GetRelatedParts) items are being returned after a relationship has been deleted from the most recent generation of the part. This seems to be because the default SQL in PE_GetRelatedParts doesn't return only the most recent generation. In order to return relationship ONLY on the most recent generation you can add another inner join to the sql ~line 158. The reason is that the existing SQL only returns the most recent generation of MATCHING PARTS:

String sqlQuery = @"
SELECT item.id FROM {1} item
INNER JOIN
(
SELECT item.CONFIG_ID, MAX(item.GENERATION) GENERATION FROM {1} item
INNER JOIN {2} relationshipItem ON item.ID = relationshipItem.SOURCE_ID AND relationshipItem.RELATED_ID ='{0}'
GROUP BY item.CONFIG_ID
) groupeditem ON groupeditem.CONFIG_ID = item.CONFIG_ID AND groupeditem.GENERATION = item.GENERATION
/*NEW CLAUSE*/

INNER JOIN (SELECT item.CONFIG_ID, MAX(item.GENERATION) GENERATION FROM {1} item

GROUP BY item.CONFIG_ID
) maxgen ON maxgen.CONFIG_ID = item.CONFIG_ID AND maxgen.GENERATION = item.GENERATION
";

Hi Dominic, There are a few different ways to accomplish this.

Change the behavior of the relationship to "Float" rather than "Fixed"
- This will force the relationships to always point to the newest version of an item
- NOTE: this will also change the data you are storing which may not be desired
Manually edit the reverse items grid
- You can find this under \Innovator\Client\Solutions\PLM\scripts\ReverseItemsGrid.html in your codetree
- You would want to update the query near line 218 to use the config_id rather than the id
- NOTE: Rather than editing the existing ReverseItemsGrid.html, I would recommend creating a copy of the file called "CurrentReverseItemsGrid.html" that you can make your changes to
If you are using 11.0 SP10 or greater, use the new Query Builder/Tree Grid View functionality
- Using these new tools, you can easily create a reverse lookup query and display the grid anywhere you want
- See this demo video for more information: https://www.aras.com/plm-software/?n=Aras-Innovator-Demo-Series-Query-Builder-Tree-Grid-Viewer
