want to extract variants using script

Hi Ankit,

To get the list of variants, use the API function "objdef.Variants()". this function returns a list of definition object that are variant of "objdef", or an empty list if "objdef" has no variant.

ex:

var variants = myDefinition.Variants();       //myDefinition is an object definition or a model

for(var i = 0; i < varaints.length; i++){
         var myVariant = variants[i];
         // write what you want to do with the variant here
}

Best Regards

ps. Don't forget to use "F1" key from script editor to get help.

Example : Type "ObjDef" in the script editor, select the word and type "F1" to get all function available for object definition.

thanks alot  Tricarico Romain :)  this information is really helpful for me....  

I have one more question here that I want to extract organizational unit and location which are associated with this variant..

I am able to extract the organizational unit and location which are associated with any function entity only.. 

suppose in a model I have "A" function(L4) entity and on this function entity one variant "B" is present(it may be a normal variant or master object) now I want to extract organization unit and location which are associated with "B". 

please help me in this regards...:)

and please let me know if you have any confusion.....

Hi,

To get connected object to another one, use the function getConnectedObjs(objType):

this function return a list of object definitions.

In your case, to get the organizational unit connected to your variant :

var variants = myDefinition.Variants();       //myDefinition is an object definition or a model
 
for(var i = 0; i < varaints.length; i++){
         var myVariant = variants[i];
         var uos = myVariant.getConnectedObjs(Constants.OT_ORG_UNIT);
         for(var iuo = 0; iuo < uos.length; iuo++){
                  var uo = uos[iuo];
                  //write here what you want to do with each UO connected.
         }
}
