I have invoked it from Info*Engine task. Check the following.

try{

Task task = new Task();

task.setTaskURI("com/ptc/windchill/ws/create.xml");
task.addParam("INSTANCE", "com.ptc.Windchill");
task.addParam("supporting-adapter", "com.ptc.Windchill");

Element element = new Element();
element.setFti("wt.part.WTPart");
Att att1 = new Att("name");
att1.setValue("Part_created_from_InfoEngine12333");

Att att2 = new Att("number");
att2.setValue("IS100012333");
element.addAtt(att1);
element.addAtt(att2);

Group grp = new Group("objects");
grp.addElement(element);

task.addGroup(grp);

task.invoke();
}catch (IEException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

System.out.println("End");

Can you show IE task? Also detailed error message?

Your IE task seems incomplete to create an object. Check following webject example and modify for your requirement. "file" is a parameter needed for document name.

<ie:webject name="Query-Objects" type="OBJ">

<ie:param name="INSTANCE" data="$(@FORM[]supporting-adapter[*])" delim="!" valueSeparator="!" default="<%=com.infoengine.au.NamingService.getVMName()%>"/>

<ie:param name="GROUP_OUT" data="container"/>

<ie:param name="TYPE" data="wt.inf.container.WTContainer"/>

<ie:param name="WHERE" data="name=GOLF_CART"/>

<ie:param name="SESSION_ID" data="$(session[]session_id[])"/>

<ie:param name="BLOB_COUNT" data="0"/>

<ie:param name="ATTRIBUTE" data="*"/>

</ie:webject>

<ie:webject name="Create-Objects" type="ACT">

<ie:param name="INSTANCE" data="$(@FORM[]supporting-adapter[*])" delim="!" valueSeparator="!" default="<%=com.infoengine.au.NamingService.getVMName()%>"/>

<ie:param name="ATTRIBUTE" data="name"/>

<ie:param name="ATTRIBUTE" data=""/>

<ie:param name="TYPE" data="wt.doc.WTDocument"/>

<ie:param name="SESSION_ID" data="$(session[]session_id[])"/>

<ie:param name="BLOB_COUNT" data="0"/>

<ie:param name="CONTAINER_REF" data="$(container[]obid[])"/>

<ie:param name="FIELD" data="name=$(@FORM[]file[])"/>

<ie:param name="GROUP_OUT" data="document"/>

</ie:webject>

Basically, when creating a single object using IE task, this webject is typically called with the TYPE and FIELD parameters. The error in the logs also talks about these parameters.

You can set required attributes using FIELD parameter and the object type using the Type parameter. Following additions can help in executing your task. But the object will get created under SITE as there is no context information provided, you can refer to the example as mentioned by Yogesh to set the container.

<ie:param name="FIELD" data="number='PartNumber'"/>

<ie:param name="FIELD" data="name='PartName'"/>

<ie:param name="TYPE" data="wt.part.WTPart"/>


I want to invoke the IEtask through java code.

Below is the code snippet for which I am getting the error mentioned in log.

Task task = new Task();

System.out.println("Start");

task.setTaskURI("com/ptc/windchill/ws/create.xml");

task.addParam("INSTANCE", "com.cts.wccoe.Windchill");

task.addParam("supporting-adapter", "com.cts.wccoe.Windchill");

task.addParam("FIELD","name='C-3102'");

task.addParam("FIELD","number='3102'");

task.addParam("FIELD","containerReference='OR:wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct:116778'");

task.addParam("FIELD","typeIdentifier='wt.part.WTPart'");

task.addParam("TYPE","wt.part.WTPart");

System.out.println("End");

task.invoke();

Hi Yogesh,

The IE Task is complete as it is provided by PTC.

Ajay,

The IE task that you are using is meant to be invoked as a web service. Either invoke it as a web service or from another IE task. It may not be possible to pass object as input while using IE Task editor.

Hi Ismail,

I want to invoke the IE task through java code.

So, I want to pass that object via Java code.

The code snippet is as followed:

Task task = new Task();

System.out.println("Start");

task.setTaskURI("com/ptc/windchill/ws/create.xml");

task.addParam("INSTANCE", "com.cts.wccoe.Windchill");

task.addParam("supporting-adapter", "com.cts.wccoe.Windchill");

task.addParam("FIELD","name='C-3102'");

task.addParam("FIELD","number='3102'");

task.addParam("FIELD","containerReference='OR:wt.pdmlink.PDMLinkProduct:116778'");

task.addParam("FIELD","typeIdentifier='wt.part.WTPart'");

task.addParam("TYPE","wt.part.WTPart");

System.out.println("End");

task.invoke();

Ajay,

Try the following code.

------------------------------

try{

Task task = new Task();

task.setTaskURI("com/ptc/windchill/ws/create.xml");
task.addParam("INSTANCE", "com.cts.wccoe.Windchill");
task.addParam("supporting-adapter", "com.cts.wccoe.Windchill");

Element element = new Element();
element.setFti("wt.part.WTPart");
Att att1 = new Att("name");
att1.setValue("Part_created_from_InfoEngine");

Att att2 = new Att("number");
att2.setValue("IS100012333");
element.addAtt(att1);
element.addAtt(att2);

Group grp = new Group("objects");
grp.addElement(element);

task.addGroup(grp);

task.invoke();
}catch (IEException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

It is still giving the required FIELD exception.

See if you are missing anything in your code. I have tried this example before giving it to you.

Well can you please attach the entire file along with the output.
