Hi all,
iam currently trying to produce a process manual with the script wizard. I know how to report single objects and multiple attributes. But my goal is to ouput functions and their CONNECTED objects (in my case business rules and capabilities) including attributes in a table.
Any ideas how to achieve that with script or wizard?
Hi Roland,
I'm afraid that there's no way to get connected occurrences through Script Wizard. You should use scripting to achieve this.
1. Use the ObjOcc.getConnectedObjOccs( int symbolType) method. This returns an array of object occurrences connected to the object occurrence having the specific symbol type.
// Gets a list of the events connected to myFunction. connectedEvents = myFunction.getConnectedObjOccs([Constants.ST_EV]);
2. You can also get the connected objects occurrences finding first the connections between them.
// Gets the outgoing connections of myFunction
connList = myFunction.Cxns(Constants.EDGES_OUT);
// then gets the target object for each connection
for(var i=0; connList.length > i; i++){
targetOcc = connList[i].TargetObjOcc();
}
Hope this helps.
Here's a more extensive example.You can also use the ARIS script help (Help menu in ABA) for further reference.
In this example is assumed that the script is excecuted from an EPC model.
Hope this helps.
// Define a user data type to store the results
__usertype_outStruct = function() {
this.sModel = "";
this.sFunc = "";
this.sSat = "";
this.__createNew = function() { return new __usertype_outStruct; }
}
function main(){
var modelList, currModel, funcList, currFunc, satelliteList, currSatellite; // List of variables
var out = new Array(); // Output array
var oCurrOut;
modelList = ArisData.getSelectedModels(); // Gets the list of selected models
for(var i=0; modelList.length > i; i++){ // For each model in the list
currModel = modelList[i]; // Gets the current model
funcList = currModel.ObjOccListBySymbol([Constants.ST_FUNC]); // Gets the list of functions in the model
funcList = ArisData.sort(funcList,Constants.AT_ID,locale); // Sorts the list by ID
for(var j=0; funcList.length > j; j++){ // For each function occurrence in the current model
currFunc = funcList[j]; // Gets the current function occurrence
satelliteList = currFunc.getConnectedObjOccs(Constants.ST_POS_TYPE); // Gets a list of Position Type symbols connected to the current function occurrence
for(var k=0; satelliteList.length > k; k++){ // For each satellite
currSatellite = satelliteList[k]; // Gets the current satellite occurrence
// Stores data
oCurrOut = new __usertype_outStruct();
oCurrOut.sModel = currModel.Name(locale);
oCurrOut.sFunc = currFunc.ObjDef().Name(locale);
oCurrOut.sSat = currSatellite.ObjDef().Name(locale);
out.push(oCurrOut); // Stored data is pushed into an array
}
}
}
// At this point you shoud be able to get the out array and use it any way you like in an output document
}
