Affected Items Floating relationship not floating on Express ECO
Hi all, Strange error happening here. For some unknown reason, when an item is on an ECO and it is versioned, the relationship is not floating to latest. In my dev environment it is working fine and the other environment is just a push from the dev environment. I tried resetting the behavior and still nothing. I've had this issue before and I was able to resolve it by deleting the relationship and reimporting however that was a relationship I had created and in this case the OOB relationship has so much going on that I'd rather not. Any suggestions?
"Aras.Server.Core.ItemNotFoundException" When transitioning from "In Work" to "Preliminary" with ECO Express's WF Activity
Hi Community I'm having an issue and I'm hoping the community can help me solve it! In normal ECO Express WF of the Creator's operation goes to " Start--> Preliminary --> In Work" ,but what I'm trying to do is " In Work --> Preliminary" In other words, moving the workflow back one step. Therefore I'm using the following peice of code for dynamic voting of workflow : Dim sbVoteXml As New Text.StringBuilder("") sbVoteXml.Append("<Item type=""Activity"" action=""EvaluateActivity"">") sbVoteXml.Append(" <Activity>{0}</Activity>") sbVoteXml.Append(" <ActivityAssignment>{1}</ActivityAssignment>") sbVoteXml.Append(" <Paths>") sbVoteXml.Append(" <Path id=""{2}"">{3}</Path>") sbVoteXml.Append(" </Paths>") sbVoteXml.Append(" <DelegateTo>0</DelegateTo>") sbVoteXml.Append(" <Tasks />") sbVoteXml.Append(" <Variables />") sbVoteXml.Append(" <Authentication mode="" \ "" />") sbVoteXml.Append(" <Comments></Comments>") sbVoteXml.Append(" <Complete>1</Complete>") sbVoteXml.Append("</Item>") Dim itmVote As Item = Inn.newItem() itmVote.loadAML(String.Format(sbVoteXml.ToString(), sActivityID, sAssignID, sPathID, In_REVIEW)) itmVote = itmVote.apply()However, I got the error "Aras.Server.Core.ItemNotFoundException"...The "Preliminary" activity state is "closed", which may be the cause, but I don't know how to solve it. Do you know how to move the activity back one by using a server method etc.? In addition, should I think about "PE_ChangeItemTransition" too?(This Aras's standard method perform validation of Change item(ECN, ECO, etc..) which situated in state or promoted to another state)Could someone please let me know why this error is happening. I will be happy to help you with other information as needed. Thank you.
Associating EDRs with ECOs
I’m working with Innovator 11.0 SP15 and I have installed the Product Engineering 11.0R4 add-on and I’m working with Express ECO and Express EDR items. When I create an EDR, I try to click the ‘Link for ECO’ link to associate an ECO, but it has no effect. Also if I go into an Express ECO and items to it’s Impact Matrix, I am not able to modify or add anything under the EDR Grouping. This has left me unable to create any associations between EDRs an ECOs. Is there another way to do so?
Change 'Save As' to use part number sequence instead of adding Copy Of in the part number field?
With Aras V11, SP15: For the Part Item type, we have a pattern setup that we want all parts to follow this pattern: PRT-##### and we want it restricted to this length (9). This works. However, when someone does a 'Save AS' or in an Express ECO chooses to renumber a part. we get this error "The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type nvarchar of the specified target column." This is because we've set the item_number length to equal 9 and Aras is trying to create a new part with the number field set "Copy of PRT-#####". We can get past the error by setting the item_number length to 20 but we don't want to do this as people can then create parts that don't match our pattern. Where can we change it so Aras doesn't add the "Copy of" in front of the original part's number: We'd also ideally like it to just grab the next number in our part number sequence. I've been hunting through aras methods but can't find where the "Copy of" is being added. Anyone know? Thanks.Cant promote or release item because it is used on the ECO that initially released it
So I am evaluating ARAS for use and ran into a problem where I cannot release a part either manually or through an ECO. The error basically tells me that the part is used on the ECO that released it to rev A. It is now rev B, preliminary. Any idea how I can resolve this?
Express ECOs - Renumber and Supersede
When using the express ECO there are 2 actions (Renumber and Supersede) that are either; not working correctly or the documentation is unclear. For renumber and supersede there are no updates to the BOM as the documentation implies. My understanding from the PE documentation is: Renumber replaces an existing Part with its copy. The existing Part is copied as a new Part, which is assigned a new Part number, and released. The copied Part becomes the replacement Part in the BOM in which it is defined and supersedes the old Part. I see that on promoting express ECO to Draft Changes that a new part is created and the old part is marked as superseded. However, the Part is not replaced in the BOM. although it says "Superseded" there is no obvious way to view this on the BOM or what part superseded it. Supersede globally replaces one released Part with another released Part. The original Part is superseded. I see that on promoting express ECO to Draft Changes that the old part is marked as superseded. However, the Part is not replaced in the BOM. On the assembly part I see that it says "Superseded" there is no obvious way to view the superseded part except by navigating through ECO. The pictures show Assembly 1 contains Part 1 that I renumbered and Part 2 that is superseded. (For comparison: When I do a revise action on a part in the context of assembly the new revision of the part floats to the assembly. This behaves correctly and the traceability is clear in redline mode). Can you confirm the steps that the user should take to use renumber and supersede correctly, Thanks
