windchill Api to update Family table attribute - PTC Community

Hello Team,

I am writing a WRS where we can pass attribute internal name and attribute value and cad oid , and it will update that attribute of given Cad object (with iteration changed).

For stand alone CAD , i succeed in achieving the requirement.However i am stuck with Family table object.

eg: if OID is of Generic or instance.

I am using below code snippet.

Please suggest what i am doing wrong here:

if(epm.isTopGeneric())

{

epmGeneric=epm;

System.out.println("******************Its a generic CAD*********************");

instanceDetailsMap=(Map<EPMDocument, WTHashSet>) getInstanceDetails(epm);

}

else {

System.out.println("*****************Its a Instance CAD *******************");

QueryResult ft_qr2 =EPMStructureHelper.service.navigateGenericToIteration( epm, null, true, null);

epm = (EPMDocument) ft_qr2.nextElement();//Generic Part

System.out.println("************ Fetched Generic from Instance ***********"+epm.getIdentity());

instanceDetailsMap = (Map<EPMDocument, WTHashSet>) getInstanceDetails(epm);

System.out.println("Collect all Instance for a given Instance by getting Generic first");

}

try {

Map<EPMDocument, Object> cadDocLMDMap = prepareCadDocLMDMap(instanceDetailsMap);

Map<EPMDocument, Object> ftStatusMap = prepareFTStatusMap(instanceDetailsMap.values());

WTHashSet collection = instanceDetailsMap.get(epm);

System.out.println("instanceSet size : " + collection.size());

collection.add(epm);

workspace = EPMWorkspaceHelper.manager.addToWorkspace(workspace, collection);

System.out.println("-------------Creating and Adding Objects to Workspace-------------");

EPMDocConfigSpec configSpec = new EPMDocConfigSpec();

configSpec.setLatestActive();

if (WorkInProgressHelper.isCheckedOut(epm)) {

System.out.println(epm.getNumber() + "----CAD Document is Already checked Out . ");

}

else {

List<EPMDocument> checkOutDrawings = new ArrayList<EPMDocument>();

List<EPMDocument> objectsToCheckOut = new ArrayList<EPMDocument>();

System.out.println("------Family Table Objects are checkedOUT----");

WTSet objectsInWorkspace = EPMWorkspaceHelper.manager.getObjectsInWorkspace(workspace, EPMDocument.class);

int count=collectFamilyInstances(epm);

System.out.println("=======NO OF Objects in Family Table is =========="+count);

List<EPMDocument> epmDocList = new ArrayList<>();

epmDocList.addAll(objectsInWorkspace);

checkout(epmDocList, workspace);

System.out.println("---------All workspace Objects are CheckedOUT----------");

HashMap<String, Object> ibaMap = new HashMap<>();

WTKeyedHashMap epmAttributeMap = new WTKeyedHashMap();

for (Iterator i_objects = objectsInWorkspace.persistableIterator(); i_objects.hasNext();) {

Workable epmInWorkspace = (Workable) i_objects.next();

epm = (EPMDocument) epmInWorkspace;

if(epm.isGeneric()) {

epmGeneric = (EPMDocument) PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(epm);

}

objectsToCheckOut.add(epm);

checkOutDrawings.add(epm);

if (dataType.contains("Integer"))

{

int attrValue=Integer.parseInt(attrVal);

ibaMap.put(attribute, attrValue);

}

else if(dataType.contains("Boolean"))

{

ibaMap.put(attribute, attrValue);

}else if(dataType.contains("Double"))

{

double attrValue=Double.parseDouble(attrVal);

ibaMap.put(attribute, attrValue);

}

else if(dataType.contains("Long"))

{

long attrValue=Long.parseLong(attrVal);

ibaMap.put(attribute, attrValue);

}

else if(dataType.contains("Float"))

{

float attrValue=Float.parseFloat(attrVal);

ibaMap.put(attribute, attrValue);

}

if (dataType.contains("String"))

{

String attrValue=attrVal;

ibaMap.put(attribute, attrValue);

}

}

System.out.println("update Generic CADDocument :: CAD Document : " + epmGeneric.getNumber());

System.out.println("Generic is checkedout========"+WorkInProgressHelper.isCheckedOut(epmGeneric));

if (!ibaMap.isEmpty() && epmGeneric !=null) {

epmAttributeMap.put(epmGeneric, ibaMap);

System.out.println("before set att api epmAttributeMap: " +epmGeneric.getNumber() );

EPMWorkspaceHelper.manager.setAttributes(workspace, epmAttributeMap);

PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(epmGeneric);

System.out.println("After set att api epmAttributeMap: " +epmGeneric.getNumber() );

}

List<Object> objectsToCheckIn = new ArrayList<Object>();

objectsToCheckIn.addAll(checkOutDrawings);

checkin(objectsToCheckIn, checkInComment, workspace);

System.out.println("Objects are checkedIn-------");

//destroyWorkspace(workspace);

if ( workspace != null) {

System.out.println("-----Going to delete workspace----------");

workspace = EPMWorkspaceHelper.manager.removeFromWorkspace(workspace, CollectionsHelper.singletonWTList(epm));

PersistenceHelper.manager.delete(workspace);

System.out.println("-----workspace Deleted----------");

}

updateFTStatus(ftStatusMap);

updateLMD(cadDocLMDMap);

System.out.println("Family Table Status and Last Modified Date Updated ");

System.out.println(" Transaction Details which is getting committed--------"+Transaction.getCurrentTransaction());

trx.commit();

trx = null;

System.out.println("EXIT : UpdateEPMDocServices.updateFT");

}

} catch (WTException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

System.out.println("WTException occurred while updating Attribute of generic document---"+e);

}

You did nothing wrong. You just do not need that you need to change the family table object to normal object.

This change is not saved but you can update the attributes.

I use following code to disable generic or instance. After that change I update attributes.

boolean docIsInstance = epm.isInstance();
boolean docIsGeneric = epm.isGeneric();
if (docIsInstance)
{
	try
	{
		epm.setInstance(false);
	} catch (WTPropertyVetoException e1)
	{
		logger.error(String.format("Family instance could not be disabled  %s", epm.getNumber()));
		e1.printStackTrace();
	}
}
if (docIsGeneric)
{
	try
	{
		epm.setGeneric(false);
	} catch (WTPropertyVetoException e1)
	{
		logger.error(String.format("Family Generic could not be disabled  %s", epm.getNumber()));
		e1.printStackTrace();
	}
}

If you do not use logger for logging errors change it to System.out.

Hope this can help

Thanks @HelesicPetr

This will not impact Family objects link?

After attribute update , Object will behave similar to what it was before ?

(To:prasad_RR)

No it does not impact FT Link.

In my case I update just IBA attributes of EPMDocument so the epm.Instance and epm.Generic are not saved in database.

This is just temporary change and do not involve system.

I definitely advice you to test it, but I've used it for many many many years without any issue.

Thank you Peter, the logic you shown is incredible.

And I can confirm that there is no impact when working with IBA.
