Hi all,
I am wondering if there is a service documentation about the Windchill WS tasks existing anywhere. To be more clear, I am talking about the tasks located under <Windchill>/tasks/com/ptc/windchill/ws.
Let's have a look at the navigate.xml (I've attached one for quick overview). I managed to navigate through the children of a any object type using this task. But I am always just using the following parameters:
- baseUFID
- associationTypeIdentifier
- targetRoleName
- otherSide
- autoNavigate
Besides the fact that I have to call the operation twice to get the links and the linked objects (otherSide - true or false), it is working well. If I have a look at the parameter description, I can see that there are much more available parameters than I am using. So I am wondering if anybody can explain me the usage of the other parameter, or even better, has an example which uses them.
Quick Overview of available parameters:
@param string baseUfid UFID of object from which navigation will start
@param string associationTypeIdentifier Type of link to be navigated
@param string targetRoleName Name of role played by other-side objects
@param string[] targetTypes Types of objects to be returned, null to return all available types
@param boolean otherSide true to return other-side objects, false to return link objects
@param boolean autoNavigate true to enable application of config specs, automatic navigation from master objects to iterations, and automatic retrieval of remotely linked objects
@param string configSpecType null if no config spec requested
@param com.ptc.windchill.ws.Property[] configSpecParams Parameters of the specified config spec, if any
@param string[] propertyNames Names of properties to be returned with the resulting objects
Thanks in advance for any help.
