Bringing items in through AML package as 'Released'

Hi Tyler Kim ,

Items when created are always in default LC state. One of the options can be

1. Import the items

2. Using postAMLpackagedeployment script promote them. You need to use action=PromoteItem

Sample AML can be as below

<AML>
    <Item type='yourItemTypeName' idlist='idsOfItemsToBePromoted' action='PromoteItem'>
        <state>Released</state>
    </Item>
</AML>

Hi all,

if of interest, the question fits to this discussion:  How to transfer table data from one Innovator instance to another fast and easy? 

Jayrajvhs solution is preferred for promoting the "state". The shown post just collects ideas for preserving other system properties like "created_by_id", etc.

 Jayrajvh I'm getting a "failed to get the transition to promote the Item from New to Released error:

Previously, there was no direct transition from New to Released. Do I need to add a transition (with the Aras PLM identity) to make this possible?

EDIT: I've added a transition from the New to Released state (with the Aras PLM identity) and I'm still getting the same error

EDIT2: I've also tried moving the item to the very next state (transition handled by a non-admin identity) and also got the same error
