Hello,

I want to report the "Connection role" (AT_CXN_ROLE) from a connection.

function listOccsStrings(p_Output, p_ObjS, hm_DTbl, p_Array)
    {
        for(var i=0; i<p_Array.length; i++){
            p_Output.OutputLinkF( getAttrStrValue( p_Array[i].ObjDef(), Constants.AT_NAME, gn_Lang ), hm_DTbl.get("BMK"), getString("TEXT_STYLE_DEFAULT") );
            p_Output.OutputF( gs_Empty.concat(" (").concat( getCxnRole( p_ObjS, p_Array[i] ) ).concat(")"), getString("TEXT_STYLE_DEFAULT") );
            if( i<(p_Array.length - 1) ) { p_Output.OutputF( ", ", getString("TEXT_STYLE_DEFAULT") ); }
        }//END::for_i
        function getCxnRole( p_ObjS, p_ObjT){
            var aCxns   = p_ObjS.Cxns( CxnOccDirectionConstants.EDGES_IN, ReportConstants.EDGES_ALL);
            for(var j=0; j<aCxns.length; j++){
                if( ((aCxns[j].SourceObjOcc().equals(p_ObjS)) && (aCxns[j].TargetObjOcc().equals(p_ObjT))) ||
                    ((aCxns[j].SourceObjOcc().equals(p_ObjT)) && (aCxns[j].TargetObjOcc().equals(p_ObjS))) ){
 //Compare the right Source and Target object from connection
                    return aCxns[j].Attribute(Constants.AT_CXN_ROLE, gn_Lang).getValue();
//Doesnt work :(                
}
            }//END::for_j
            return gs_Empty;
        }//END::getCxnRole()
    }

This is an exapmle EPC:

My wish is to report like this:

Function Input

Funktion_1 Leistung1 (5)

Funktion_2 Leistung2 (2), Leistung3 (1)

Thanks a lot

Hi Marcus,

try this code

var oModel = ArisData.getSelectedModels()[0];
var oOccs = oModel.ObjOccListFilter(Constants.OT_FUNC);
var g_nLoc = Context.getSelectedLanguage();

oOccs = ArisData.sort(oOccs, Constants.SORT_Y, g_nLoc);
for (var o = 0; o < oOccs.length; o++){ 
    var oCxnOccs = oOccs[o].CxnOccList();
    for (var c = 0; c < oCxnOccs.length; c++){
      if (oCxnOccs[c].CxnDef().SourceObjDef().TypeNum() != Constants.OT_FUNC &&
          oCxnOccs[c].CxnDef().SourceObjDef().TypeNum() != Constants.OT_EVT &&
          oCxnOccs[c].CxnDef().TargetObjDef().TypeNum() != Constants.OT_EVT)  
        Dialogs.MsgBox(oOccs[o].ObjDef().Name(g_nLoc) + ' ' + oCxnOccs[c].CxnDef().SourceObjDef().Name(g_nLoc));
    }
}

Hi Vladimir,

it doesn't work :(

Function Input

Funktion_1 Leistung1 (Leistung1)

Funktion_2 Leistung2 (Leistung2), Leistung3 (Leistung3)

I want this:

Function Input

Funktion_1 Leistung1 (5)// Not the name from SourceObj, the "connection role" between Function and performance(is Input for) (5,2,1)

thanks

Where are placed these numbers 5, 2, 1 - in connection "Identifier" attribute?

by Mr. Marcus Knappe on Fri, 2011/12/23 - 1:31pm

They were placed in connection "connection role" (AT_CXN_ROLE) attribute.

Not in "Identifier", because it's possible that two different performances have the same number to a function or a performance have the same number to two or more functions... The number isn't unique :)

OK Marcus. I can read this atrribute:

Dialogs.MsgBox(oOccs[o].ObjDef().Name(g_nLoc) + 
'\n' + oCxnOccs[c].CxnDef().Attribute(Constants.AT_CXN_ROLE, g_nLoc).GetValue(true));

by Mr. Vladimir Bis on Fri, 2011/12/23 - 7:49pm

Dialogs.MsgBox(oOccs[o].ObjDef().Name(g_nLoc) +
'\n' + oCxnOccs[c].CxnDef().Attribute(Constants.AT_CXN_ROLE, g_nLoc).GetValue(true));

Sorry for double comment...I don't know delete comment...

Thank you Vladimir,

it works for me fine. One more Question is, is it possible, to get connections which are are not aktiv in this EPC and which are NOT aktive in an allocation diagrams like "Function allocation diagram" for the functions, but they are aktive in "Product trees".

EPC Product tree

Big thanks and a happy new year :)

Hi Marcus,

try use OccList method for each function:

var oOccs2 = oOccs[o].ObjDef().OccList();
for (var o2 = 0; o2 < oOccs2.length; o2++){
    if (oOccs2[o2].Model().TypeNum() == Constants.MT_PRDCT_TREE){
       Dialogs.MsgBox("Function is in Product tree");
    }
}

Same to you Happy new year :)

It doesn't work :(

If I clean the EPC to normal EPC (only functions and events) then the connection role is lost :(

The products (Leistung 1-3) are shown correktly. If I copy one of the product back to EPC and connect it with its function, it works. But the big target ist normal EPCs and a product tree model.

I try it with a Function allocation diagram, but it doesn't work to :(

Hi Marcus,

I'm sorry, but I can't help you now, because it works on my computer - all occurences are listed correctly.
