RE: Is there a way to write a server event that adds relationships by creating aml

assuming 'this' is the item you wish to save, I would suggest you try something similar to:

//Get the related_id
var sp_target_id = this.getRelationship("SP Target").getRelatedItemID(); //assumes 1 relationship item of type "SP Target"

//create the relationship Item
var target_string = "<Relationships>";
target_string += "<Item type='AP Initiative Target' action='add'>";
target_string += "<related_id>" +sp_target_id+ "</related_id>";
target_string += "</Item>";
target_string += "</Relationships>";

//Load the AML into a new Item
Var targ = this.newItem();
targ.loadAML(target_string)

//Add the relationship to the context items AML
this.addRelationship(targ);

Note: I have not tested this, but it shows the approach I would take if I was to do something similar.

Many thanks,
Martin

Hi,

Yes - it's possible - but I think there is something missing from your AML.

Here is example:

So you need to have:

* Relationship type - in my example Part BOM - and I think in your AML it should be 'AP Initiative Target' (and action=''add' since you are creating this _relationship_.

* source item - and action='get' tells that this item is already in the Aras (if not, you might want to create it with action='add')

* related_id - the child of the relationship (and again, action='get' is actually search which returns (at least in this case) only one item)

You can test your AML with Nash (it comes with Aras installation) can be found: http://[your server]/InnovatorServer/client/scripts/nash.aspx - if you used the default URL:s when installing.

Hope this helps,
