Check in new EPMDocument with Windchill API's

Hi everyone,

I have a little problem and I really hope someone can help me with that.

I created an EPMDocument by using an expression robot. Now I would like to automatically check-in this EPMDocument into the commonspace via a Java code, so that not only the person who created the document can see it in his workspace but also everyone else. I tried to use a method robot (for check in) for this, but that caused an error.

Can anyone please help me or point me in the right direction?

I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Willi

I would recommend not to enter so much code into an expression robot. Call a java class from expression robot.

I wrote a small code that creates EPMDocument (works on 9.1 M40). Use it as reference for your use.

For check-in, you can use following API in expression robot itself. For you, object is EPMDoc and note is checkin comments.

wt.vc.wip.WorkInProgressHelper.service.checkin(Workable object, String note)

Side Note: If its a brand new EPMDocument, you might want to persist it. For you, obj is EPMDoc.

wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.save(Persistable obj);

Thanks for the quick response.

Your answer does work, but unfortunately not for brand new EPMDocuments. After implementing the code and running it I get the following error:

wt.workflow.engine.FailedExpressionException: wt.util.WTException: (wt.vc.wip.wipResource/36) wt.vc.wip.WorkInProgressException:

WARNING: The element notebook - Layout, A.1 must be checked out in order to be checked in.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Willi

Did you happen to try this API?

wt.fc.PersistenceHelper.manager.save(Persistable obj);

Hi guyz,

I created workflow, which need to execute when EPMDocument checked in from PROE. I set Workflow in INWORK state of EPMDocument lifecycle.

I added synchronize robot on CHECKIN event of EPMDocument in workflow immediately after START , I added below code in synchronize robot that if EPMDocument path doesn't contain EPMDocument creator name then only proceed workflow .

However the workflow executes when I click SAVE & UPLOAD the Drawing in PROE, rather It should be executed when I click CHECK IN the Drawing.

So When I click CHECKIN , workflow doesn't execute Synchronize robot because it already executed ...

Does anybody have idea , How I can solve this issue?

primaryBusinessObject is EPMDocument


if ( primaryBusinessObject != null ) {

String stringCreator = ( (wt.epm.EPMDocument) primaryBusinessObject ).getCreatorName() ;

String stringForlderPath = ( (wt.epm.EPMDocument) primaryBusinessObject ).getFolderPath() ;

if( ! stringForlderPath.contains( stringCreator ) ) {

result = "ok";

}

}
