Hi @AB_9905442 

btw the VersionControlHelper contains an other method that returns all iterations. allIterationsFrom

 

try
{
	WTDocument document = getDocumentByNumber("0000000142");
	QueryResult allVersions = VersionControlHelper.service.allIterationsFrom(document);
	while (allVersions.hasMoreElements())
	{
		Object obj = allVersions.nextElement();
		if (obj instanceof RevisionControlled)
		{
			RevisionControlled iterationObject = (RevisionControlled) obj;
			System.out.printf("numer> %s - name> %s - version> %s %n", iterationObject.getDisplayIdentifier(), iterationObject.getName(), iterationObject.getIterationDisplayIdentifier());
		}
	}
} catch (QueryException e)
{
	e.printStackTrace();
} catch (WTException e)
{
	e.printStackTrace();
}

Hi @AB_9905442 

You can try this method that returns all versions so the history is based on all version. 

Information can be collected from each object that is returned in a query... 

 

QueryResult allVersions = VersionControlHelper.service.allVersionsOf(document);
while (allVersions.hasMoreElements())
{
	Object obj = allVersions.nextElement();
	if (obj instanceof RevisionControlled)
	{
		RevisionControlled iterationObject = (RevisionControlled) obj;
	}
}

 

then you can use following methods to get some info.. 

 

iterationObject.getCreateTimestamp();
iterationObject.getCreator();
iterationObject.getModifier();
iterationObject.getVersionDisplayIdentifier();

 

 the document variable can be Mater object or any Versioned one. 

example

WTDocument or WTDocumentMaster

EPMDocument or EPMDocumentMaster

    Have you used they Query Builder before? You could create a query to display this information

     

    Some info to help you get started: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/wnc-reporting-landing/wnc-reporting-landing-main/querybuilder-intro/qb-intro?overlay=BDDBFF62-6C2F-436C-A38B-BF1BDD6B3F23&source=search

    Programmatically as in an external program making REST OData API calls? Or an external program making REST calls for QB data? Or a program integrated in the WC server?

    Hi @AB_9905442 

    And is it wrong? why? you didn't provide real data if there are just versions A.1 and B.1 the result is correct.

    I implemented this methode  it's ok but the first iteration not exist ( A1) 

     

     WTDocument refreshedDoc = (WTDocument) PersistenceHelper.manager.refresh(document);

	 // Get the version history
	 QueryResult versionHistory = VersionControlHelper.service.allIterationsOf(refreshedDoc.getMaster());

	 // Display the version history information
	 int i=1;
	 
	 
	 while (versionHistory.hasMoreElements()) {
	 	
	 	String iteration="";
	 	String version="";
	 	String fileName="";
	 	String state="";
	 	String coments="";
	 	String modifyBy="";
	 	String lastModified="";
	 Object versioned = versionHistory.nextElement();
	 
	 
	 if (versioned instanceof Iterated) {
	 Iterated iterated = (Iterated) versioned;
	 iteration = getVersion(iterated);
	 
	 IterationInfo iterationInfo = iterated.getIterationInfo();
	 coments=iterationInfo.getNote();
	 
	 modifyBy= iterationInfo.getModifier().getFullName();
	 
	 // taskLogger.debug("iteration: " + iteration);
	 // taskLogger.debug("getModifierName: " + iterated.getModifierName());	 
	 modifyBy=iterated.getModifierName();
	 lastModified=iterated.getCreatorName();
	 if (iterated instanceof LifeCycleManaged) {
	 LifeCycleManaged lifeCycleManaged = (LifeCycleManaged) iterated;
	 state= lifeCycleManaged.getLifeCycleState().toString();
	 
	 //taskLogger.debug("state: " + state);
	 
	 }	 
	 if (iterated instanceof WTDocument) {
	 WTDocument doc = (WTDocument) iterated;	 
	 //taskLogger.debug("doc: " + doc.getNumber());
	 ContentHolder holder= ContentHelper.service.getContents(doc);
	 ContentItem ci = ContentHelper.getPrimary((FormatContentHolder) holder);
	 ApplicationData ad = (ApplicationData) ci;
	 fileName = ad.getFileName();
	 
	 //taskLogger.debug(doc.getIterationInfo().getIdentifier().getValue());
	 // taskLogger.debug(doc.getVersionInfo().getIdentifier().getValue());
	 version=doc.getVersionInfo().getIdentifier().getValue();
	 }	 	 
	 }
	 taskLogger.debug("----------------------"+i+"---------------------------------");
	 
	 taskLogger.debug(version+iteration+"---"+fileName+"---"+state+"---"+coments+"---"+modifyBy+"---"+lastModified);
	 i++;
	 }
