issue in getting Association type between part and epm document

Version: Windchill 12.0

 

Use Case: i was try to collect the Association type between part and epm document like "owner " or "content" or "image" but it but the value is not coming properly, (ex.) For assembly if association type with a part in UI is "Owner" but while extracting it is showing as "image" some time totally opposite like that .


Description:

HI All,

 

i was try to collect the Association type between part and epm document like "owner " or "content" or "image" but it but the value is not coming properly,
(ex.) For assembly if association type with a part in UI is "Owner" but while extracting it is showing as "image" some time totally opposite like that .

 

the code i was using is below:

 

public static String getAssociationType(EPMDocument epmDoc, WTPart part) {
String associationType = "";
System.out.println("getAssociationType start: "+epmDoc.getNumber());
try {
BinaryLink[] links = findLinks(part, epmDoc);
if (links != null) {
for (BinaryLink link : links) {
AssociationType type = AssociationType.getAssociationType(link);
associationType = type.getLocalizedName(null);
System.out.println("AssociationType: "+associationType);
if (associationType.equalsIgnoreCase("Owner") || associationType.equalsIgnoreCase("Image") || associationType.equalsIgnoreCase("Content")) {
System.out.println("getAssociationType end: "+associationType);
return associationType;
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception in getAssociationType: "+e);
}
System.out.println("associationType "+associationType);
return associationType;
}

kindly see my code and tell me what misstake im doing, if you have any other method please share with me
 
thanks,

Hi @Mathivanan 

Try to print version information about the objects, You could find that there can be some old link
