Hi @ashiq_097 

Please share what configuration do you use for the versioning schema.

What do you expect and what you get. for example, I want the previous version from AB and I do not get AA please describe it more widely 

How the code is written? It could help to test it and help you.

hi @HelesicPetr thanks for your response.. we have revision as Double Alphabetic characters as i was trying to use below snippet code to extract the previous released revision details but I'm getting only AB Version in the result.. please assist

public static WTPart getPreviousRevision(RevisionControlled object) {

LOGGER.debug("Enter -->getPreviousRevision");

RevisionControlled retValue = null;

WTPart prevVersion = null;

String actualRev = object.getVersionIdentifier().getVersionSortId();

try{

QueryResult allVersions = VersionControlHelper.service.allVersionsFrom(object);

RevisionControlled prevRevision = null;

while (allVersions.hasMoreElements()) {

    Object obj = allVersions.nextElement();

    if (obj instanceof RevisionControlled) {

    String checkRevision = ((RevisionControlled) obj).getVersionIdentifier().getVersionSortId();

    if (checkRevision.equals(actualRev)){

    // next version

    }else{

    RevisionControlled subprevRevision = (RevisionControlled) obj;

    State state = subprevRevision.getLifeCycleState();

    if (state.equals(State.toState("RELEASED"))) {

    prevRevision = subprevRevision;

    break;

    }else{

    actualRev = subprevRevision.getVersionIdentifier().getVersionSortId(); 

    }

    }

    }

}

if (prevRevision != null)

{

retValue = prevRevision;

prevVersion = (WTPart)retValue;

}

}catch (WTException e){

LOGGER.error("getPreviousRevision - Resulting ObjectsPOC" + e);

}

LOGGER.debug("Exit -->getPreviousRevision");

return prevVersion;

}

Hi @ashiq_097 

The method VersionControlHelper.service.allVersionsFrom(object); returns just the latest objects of all revisions.

So this method can not be used to get non latest version. 

if you want to get non latest version then you have to use following method. 

QueryResult allVersions = VersionControlHelper.service.allIterationsOf(object.getMaster());

hi @HelesicPetr , I wanted to  pull the latest object details but using the method allVersionsFrom i was getting empty data for the previous revision on this Double Alphabetic version details as pasted the screenshot above.  I Accept this method is pulling correct data for single alphabetic , numeric versions. only issue is with double alphabetic is not pulling the correct details as needed. please assist 

[ashiq_097]

using alliterationsof will be moving pulling non-latest objects which has other views like manufacturing , but i want to return only engineering view part details , is that possible to fetch it ?

Hi @ashiq_097 

You have to filter the result by your own conditions

Or you can use qyery definition and search method where you can define own conditions.
