Error while Vote in Express ECO
I faced two problems in Express ECO: I have part which is in Released state, I added that part to Express ECO and change the "Item action" to "Revise", but while "Approve Plan" vote, I got error something like this: Internal Error: failed to get the transition to promote the Part from Released to In Change. what does it means? I am learning change management, specially express ECO and DCO, so what are the steps do I need to follow? I watched demo videos on aras website, follow what they did, but got above Error. and 2. While creating a Express ECO, When I try to add the which is in "Inwork" state, Then also I got a error that Part should be in Released or Preliminary state.
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.
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
ECO simpllification
Hi, I simplified the Express ECO workflow. start-->submit-->draft changes-->review-->close change I am using the Express ECO lifecycle : new--> in planning--> in work -->in review--> released there is no problem for parts from Preliminary to Released. But when I try to change a released part, for Express ECO "In Work" state, the part does not go the "In Change" state. I think a confusing situation occurs but I can not find the solution. thanks Duygu
How to add completion notification automatically in Express ECO when Express ECO is saved?
Hi Expert, I tried to create C# code to to add completion notification automatically in Express ECO when Express ECO is saved. var new_Compeletion_notification = inn.newItem("Express ECO Notification", "add"); var exp_eco_id = this.getProperty("id",""); new_Compeletion_notification.setProperty("source_id" , exp_eco_id); new_Compeletion_notification.setProperty("owned_by_id", "8CC42C5770DE42A898EAEBF55091B824"); Item result = new_Compeletion_notification.apply(); But, the result is -1. Would you please help how to do this? Thanks, Expert!
"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.
