How to handle master object creation while creating multiple versions of an object

  • March 27, 2024

I have a scenario,

consider I am creating the following objects using Windchill Custom API loader.

EPMDocument -

xyz.prt, versions A.1,B.1,C.1

WTPart - 

abc, versions A.1,B.1,C.1

I use the below static methods to initialize the objects.

EPMDocument.newEPMDocument(docNumber, docName, authoringApp, docType, cadName) for epmdocument

WTPart.newWTPart(number,name) for wtpart

 

My question:

First, when A.1 instance is created, i believe the API also creates its master object in the background.

What happens when i move to B.1 creation, with same API code?

will it attempt re-creation of master object (or)override  existing master object during B.1 and C.1?

@NP_10570407  try something like below to create a cad in a given version  :

*/
ObjectIdentifier oid = ObjectIdentifier.newObjectIdentifier("wt.epm.EPMDocument:169864");
EPMDocument epm = (EPMDocument) PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(oid);

String version = "D";
MultilevelSeries mls = MultilevelSeries.newMultilevelSeries("wt.vc.VersionIdentifier", version);
VersionIdentifier vid = VersionIdentifier.newVersionIdentifier(mls);

WTKeyedHashMap rev_map = new WTKeyedHashMap();
ReviseOptions rev_opts = new ReviseOptions(epm);
// comment the line below if you want to use the next revision in the serie
rev_opts.document.versionId = vid;
rev_map.put( epm, rev_opts);
EPMDocumentHelper.service.reviseAll(rev_map);

Hi @NP_10570407 

I would say test it, you will see.

Please can you also share the result of your test? That we can discus it.

Hi @HelesicPetr ,

 

I have tested and end up with uniqueness exception as mentioned by @Fadel

I would join Petr to test it , theoretically I would expect that you get 

wt.pom.UniquenessException: EPMDocument - xxxx is not unique

    @Fadel 

    And thanks that @NP_10570407 needs to find another way how to store new version to the system.

    For example create a new revision on the existing object, with correct revision label etc.
