Relationship resource provider in ILM Extension

[wćwiek]

I have problem with configuration of Relationship resource provider in Thingworx 7.1.0, using ILM Extension (newest).

I created manually thing for testing relationships, for relationship Contains/Contained By. I have generated Resource Providers for Input Document and Input.

In configuration tab, I configured relationship as it said in ILM_Extension_Guide -> http://support.ptc.com/WCMS/files/170142/en/ILM_Extension_Guide.pdf

For Role:Contains I set key "Contained By" with type String.

For Role:ContainedBy I set key "Contains" with type Infotable.

I added Role:Contains tag to Input Document Resource Provider, and Role:ContainedBy to Input Resource Provider. (I don't know, if in this point I should do this way or another way).

But when I test service GetRoleProviders, for ContainedBy I get Input Resource Provider, and for Contains I get empty Infotable - so something is wrong.

It was just a test of Relationship Resource Providers, I need a bit different thing.

What I need eventually, is to get and set Relationship Flags for Decomposes To/Decomposed From relations between Inputs and Requirements, and Requirements and Requirements.

During tests I also created thing for this kind of trace, but while testing GetRoleProviders service, I get empty infotables for both, although I added model tags to resource providers.

Can somebody help? That's really important for me.

I achieved what I wanted by not using Relationship resource providers, but by using relationship fields in Resource providers, configured as string, so I can get and save relationships with relationship flags using something like this as the value in relationship field: "12,64x,79", where 12, 64 and 79 are IDs of items in ILM, and "x" is relationship flag for relation with object 64.
