Dear Community, I am new to Aras and am trying to create a relationship from a RelationshipType with the following code: Innovator inn = this.getInnovator(); string ItemId = this.getID(); Item item = inn.getItemByKeyedName("GivenItem", "100013-001"); string itemfather = item.getID(); if(item == null) { return inn.newError("No given item found."); } else { Item relItem = inn.newItem("GivenRelationship","add"); relItem.setProperty("source_id",ItemId); relItem.setProperty("related_id",itemfather); return relItem.apply(); } return this; The method runs onAfterAdd on a relationship ItemType server event. I do not know how to solve this error which comes with the apply() method: "You have insufficient permissions to perform 'add' operation." I am also looking for a way to retrieve the GivenItem item because we dont know its keyed name. What I want to do is to retrieve the Item of type OtherType which has a relation whith the item of type GivenItem (there will be only one each type). Is there a method which permits to get the only item of a given type? Best regards, Camille

I found the error which causes the message, I inverted related_id and source_id: itemfather should be the source_id. But the relationship which is created has no name and only one end (I can see the + logo), Ideas?

You have insufficient permissions to perform ‘add’ operation. Let me guess. Go to Item Type and find tab "can add". give a role. 1. set breakpoint. 2. get aml 3. go to aml studio and paste your aml. (check is it correct ?)

Hi Jerry, Thank you for you reply, the problem was caused by: 1. the inversion of source_id and related_id 2. I was trying to create the relationship on the wrong item for which the permissions were not set: "this", which is a relationship, it explains why the created relationship had only one end once I corrected the first problem. My code now works but I need to get the GivenItem in the proper way. I would like to get aml studio to work but there is bugs on the version 2, this message appears immediately after starting the app: An error has occurred in the script on this page. Line: 445 Char: 17 Error: Not a single item Code: 0 URL: xxxxxxx/dist/js/innovator.js Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Once I send a query, another similar message appears and the submit button is stuck on "Processing...": An error has occurred in the script on this page. Line: 138 Char: 27 Error: Unable to get property 'replace' of undefined or null reference Code: 0 URL: xxxxxxx/dist/js/innovator.js Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?

I had issues with this error as well when trying to add CAD documents to a part. Is there a difference in using the functions to create the relationships versus setting the ids themselves? Is there anything else that happens or is there any validity checking that happens? Here is how I did it. Item cadDocument = myInnovator.newItem("CAD", "add"); cadDocument.setFileProperty("native_file", cadfile); cadDocument.setProperty("classification", @"Mechanical/Drawing"); cadDocument.setProperty("authoring_tool", "AutoCad"); Item docRelationship = _innovator.newItem("Part CAD", "add"); docRelationship.setRelatedItem(cadDocument); // here is the linkage to the related item part.setAction("edit"); part.addRelationship(docRelationship); // here is the parent (source?) item Item addPartRelationship = part.apply(); if (addPartRelationship.isError()) { ... }

Hi Dbardine, What are the built-in functions you are talking about? toto

Built in function may not have been the correct terminology, but basically instead of manually setting the properties you create a relationship object and use the functions to add it to the parent item. (this is my understanding of how this works and I could very well be incorrect) directly setting: parentItem.setProperty(“id”,this.getProperty(“source_id”,””) ); this.setProperty(“related_id”, childItem.getID()); I create the relationship object and invoke setRelatedItem & addRelationship, this way if any other housekeeping happens I am covered (I assume). docRelationship.setRelatedItem(cadDocument); // here is the linkage to the related item part.addRelationship(docRelationship); // here is the parent (source?) item

Instead of setting the properties directly, like this:
parentItem.setProperty(“id”,this.getProperty(“source_id”,””) ); thisItem.setProperty(“related_id”,item.getID());
I created a relationship object, and set it's related item:
docRelationship.setRelatedItem(cadDocument); // here is the linkage to the related item
then added the relationship to the parent item with:
part.addRelationship(docRelationship);
I don't know if setting the ids directly is equal to using the relationship object, or if I am using it incorrectly. I was wondering the difference, if any.

Thank you for your answer DBardine, That would be great to have a comparison of those functions but as I can read, setRelatedItem and createRelatedItem will create the related_id property if it doesn't exist, which is not the case with setProperty I don't know about addRelationship I use createRelationship the same way as newItem Anyone with more info?

1.MyMainItem.SetRelatedItem(myRelatedItem) takes an Item as single argument it will find(or create) the related_id property in MyMainItem and appends myRelatedItem to it 2.MyMainItem.CreateRelatedItem("myItemType","get") takes a type of item and an AML action as arguments it will find(or create) the related_id property in MyMainItem and appends : "<Item type='myItemType' action='get'/>"
