permissions error when trying to create a relationship

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.

Once I send a query, another similar message appears and the submit button is stuck on "Processing...":

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, Did you check all the permissions (Can Add and Permissions tab)? I don't understand your question: "Is there a difference in using the functions to create the relationships versus setting the ids themselves?" Do you mean the difference between addRelationship()/createRelationship() and newItem()?

toto I believe you are trying to add a child relationship to an item using on-after add. Something to consider is what are you doing if there is already a related item? i.e. this.getProperty("related_id","") != "" The following is not tested, but is should set you in the right direction:

1. If you have a relationship item, then you can use this.getProperty("source_id","") ; to get the id of the parent Item.
2. To get the parent item, you can use: Item parentItem = inn.newItem("[Parent ItemType]","get"); parentItem.setProperty("id",this.getProperty("source_id","") ); parentItem = parentItem.apply();
3. To add a child item: Item childItem = inn.newItem("[Child ItemType]","add"); childItem = childItem.apply(); //Remember to set the related id of this Item thisItem = inn.newItem(this.getType(),"edit"); thisItem.setAttribute("where","id=" + this.getID() +"'"); thisItem.setProperty("related_id",item.getID()); thisItem = thisItem.apply();
4. Set the RelatedID on the context Item. this.setProperty("related_id", childItem.getID());
5. Set the Keyed Name this.setPropertyAttribute("related_id","keyed_name='" + item.getProperty("keyed_name","") + "'");

Hi Meismart, Many thanks for you help. Yes there is a related Item, it is the child item of the current item (on which the method starts onafteradd) . I am trying to create a relationship between this child item and another item: the one which represents the root of my product structure. There can be any number of items of type assembly or othertype between the child item and the root item. Could you explain me what does this code: To get the parent item, you can use: Item parentItem = inn.newItem(“[Parent ItemType]”,”get”); parentItem.setProperty(“id”,this.getProperty(“source_id”,””) ); parentItem = parentItem.apply(); I do not understand what newItem does when the action is get, are you creating an item or retrieving it? I saw this example many times in the documentation but I am still lost. Also, in this code, I cannot figure out what you do with the setAttribute method: //Remember to set the related id of this Item thisItem = inn.newItem(this.getType(),”edit”); thisItem.setAttribute(“where”,”id=” + this.getID() +”‘”); thisItem.setProperty(“related_id”,item.getID()); thisItem = thisItem.apply(); Than you so much for your support Camille

Hi Meismart, Many thanks for you help. I think I am starting to understand. What are you doing with setAttribute?

toto, You are setting the ids directly, but there are built in functions that server that purpose. I was wondering if there was a difference between setting the properties directly versus using the helper function, possibly some validation or additional information stored.  To me, it seems safer to use the functions provided, versus setting the properties directly (I come from a C++ background and set in my ways :) )   dbardine
