How to get the view of the WTPart in workflow ?

[K_Patil]

Hi, 

I want to get the view of the WTPart in workflow to compare if it is "Design" or "manufacturing". 

I used below code in workflow execute expression robot. 

====

if (primaryBusinessObject instanceof wt.part.WTPart) {

    wt.part.WTPart part = (wt.part.WTPart) primaryBusinessObject;

    wt.vc.views.View view = (wt.vc.views.View) part.getView().getObject();

if(view != null && view.equals("Design")){

result = "Go";

}else{

result = "NoGo";

}

====

On syntax check it work, 

However, if i add workflow variable i got below error on syntax check.

Hi @K_Patil 

Check the name of variable, it can not be same as the defined object wt.vc.views.View view

the error tells you that you have two declarations of the same variable and it can not be used.

PS> the view variable is a object type wt.vc.views.View so you can not compare the vale to a string "Design" that way as you try.

you can compare two strings not String with wt.vc.views.View. Try to use view.getName();

Hi @HelesicPetr , 

I tried to adopt it, but it is still the same. 

======

if (primaryBusinessObject instanceof wt.part.WTPart) {
wt.part.WTPart part = (wt.part.WTPart) primaryBusinessObject;
wt.vc.views.View partName = (wt.vc.views.View) part.getView().getObject();

if (partName != null && "Design".equals(partName.getName())) {
result = "Go";
} else {
result = "NoGo";
}
}

Hi @K_Patil 

What Windchill version do you use?

btw, where the variable partName is defined? 

Do you define this variable in the workflow variable? if so, then you can not define it again in your code.

If I create global workflow variable, then I get same error as you.

if the variable is defined as a global then you can not define it again. 

instead of wt.vc.views.View partName = ........

use just partName = (wt.vc.views.View) part.getView().getObject();
