having trouble reading objects into a report in order of flow from an EPC model

Hey Abdul,

Rather than attempting to find and create the forks and joins I produced a report that goes through each path and displays those paths seperately. The only time a fork or join happens is when an event occurs so we know those are the pivotal points in a process map.

Here is the recursive code that goes through and finds all the available paths and adds those paths into an array.

//path is an array
//This function goes through all the nodes recursively, creating the path accordingly
function find_paths(model, curObjOcc, path)
{
    var children = model.GetSuccNodes(curObjOcc);
    var isCycle = false;
    
    for (var i=0;i<children.length;i++)
    {
        //We need to see if the children link back to a node that already exists in the path
        //This will remove the cycles that may exist
        for (j=0;j<path.length;j++)
        {
            if (path[j] == children[i])
                isCycle = true;
        }
    }
    
    if (children.length == 0 || isCycle)
    {
        //Push this completed path into all Paths
        var tmpPath = new Array()
        tmpPath = tmpPath.concat(path);
        allPaths.push(tmpPath);
        tmpPath = null;
        return;
    }
    for (var i=0;i<children.length;i++)
    {
        if (children[i] != curObjOcc && !isCycle)
        {
            path.push(children[i]);
            find_paths(model,children[i],path);
            path.pop(); //This pops out the children we added, since it's recursive should always be last one
        }
    }
}

Hi David,

how're you doing? thanks man! I've also got a recursive function, but I think there maybe something wrong with the function or how I'm working with those object outside of the function, I even have the same concepts/variable names as you!

Great minds...

I'll use this function and get back to you ;)

Hey David

thanks for that function man, really helped with the headache our guys have been sitting with for a while now, I just have to adapt it to the way the users want the output to be formatted in.



Thanks so much man, didn't have to do anything to that function, just create the global var allPaths, well done!
