Version: Windchill 12.1

Use Case: Comparing values between an WTpart attribute and a WTpartUsageLink attribute, in a BuisnessAlgorithm - to use on a calculated value on WTpartUsageLink.

Description:

Following this procedure: Procedure – Using a BusinessAlgorithm in a Calculated Attribute togehter with this knowledge base: New java algorithm for calculated attributes (BusinessAlgorithm) starting Windchill 11.0

We have a calculated value on a WTpartUsageLink. This should compare an attribute from the WTpartUsageLink and the WTpart that it is linked to. The attribute from the WTpartUsageLink can be passed as a variable in the execute statement, but I have a hard time referencing the attribute from the WTpart.

Sample code or a pointer for referencing an attribute in this use case would be very helpfull.

Hi Fadel

Thanks for the suggestion - Alias have the very annoying caveat that it will fetch info for all iterations of a part, and not just the iteration that is currently chosen in the Config Spec, so it wont work for this specific use case.
