API to create Link between WTPart and EPMDocument

[vuchekar]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a Link between WTPart and EPMDocument objects by using below code,

it's executed without error but it not create any kind of link in between these two objects.

is any one tried to create Link between WTPart and EPMDoc.

Please review below code and suggest the correct way to create this type of links.

======================

1. System.out.println("Getting the epmdocument");

EPMDocument source = getEPMDocument(); //getEPMDocument method returns me object of EPMDoc type

System.out.println("Getting the WTPart");

WTPart target = getWTPart(); // getWTpart method returns me object of WTPart type

System.out.println("Creating the link between wtpart and epmdocument");

int buildType = 1;

source = (EPMDocument) WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkout(source,WorkInProgressHelper.service.getCheckoutFolder(),"").getWorkingCopy();

EPMBuildRule link = EPMBuildRule.newEPMBuildRule(source, target);

PersistenceServerHelper.manager.insert(link);

System.out.println("Link has been created");

WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkin(source,null);

System.out.println("Done...");

================

Thanks,

Vivek

Vivek: I have used the following to create a link between a wtpart and an empdocument drawing:

EPMDocument epmDoc = getEPMDocument(); //getEPMDocument method returns me object of EPMDoc type
WTPart wtPart= getWTPart(); // getWTpart method returns me object of WTPart type

Folder checkedout = WorkInProgressHelper.service.getCheckoutFolder();
WTPart wtPartWC = (WTPart) WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkout(wtPart, checkedout, "").getWorkingCopy();//checkout and get the working copy

/*
From https://support.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS188209
wt.epm.build.EPMBuildRule.newEPMBuildRule(EPMDocument source, WTPart target, int buildType)

buildType parameter comes from the following:
1.         Owner Link : builtType = EPMBuildRule.BUILD_ATTRIBUTES | EPMBuildRule.BUILD_STRUCTURE | EPMBuildRule.CAD_REPRESENTATION; 
2.         Image Link : builtType = EPMBuildRule.CAD_REPRESENTATION; 
3.         Contributing Image Link : builtType = EPMBuildRule.BUILD_ATTRIBUTES | EPMBuildRule.CAD_REPRESENTATION; 
4.         Contributing Content Link : builtType = EPMBuildRule.BUILD_ATTRIBUTES;
 */

EPMBuildRule buildRule = EPMBuildRule.newEPMBuildRule(epmDoc, wtPartWC, EPMBuildRule.BUILD_ATTRIBUTES);
buildRule = (EPMBuildRule)PersistenceHelper.manager.save(buildRule);
WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkin(wtPartWC, "Associated the Drawing");

Vivek, i think Randy is right. Please be informed that while a EPMDocument get associated with a WTPart, only the WTPart will get iterated. Hence we check out WTPart to associate them.

Hi Kavin,

Yes Randy was correct. i am able to cretae link between WTPart and EPMDocument after check out the WTPart.

Hi Randy,
