Create multiple groups from multiple objects in one shot

Hi Jacques,

do you want to get objects from any group (and subgroups) and run this script on this group? 

Hi Vladimir,

Currently the objects are in 4 various groups or under--groups. Ideally, script should be carried out starting from a search for objects to generate these groups. As I do not have many groups, I could carry out script several times on each group.

As I am not a programmer, I use primarily the editor of report.

Thank you to have answered quickly.

Jacques

Do you want to create groups in group, where are source objects?

I said yes because it's easy to view the change and also it's easy to transfert groups

I use IT Architect to do this.

Jacques,

I made the first attempt, without subgroups for this moment. Run script on group. Is it what do you expect?

var oGroups = ArisData.getSelectedGroups();
for (var g = 0; g < oGroups.length; g++){
   var oObjDefs = oGroups[g].ObjDefList();
   for (var o = 0; o < oObjDefs.length; o++){     
      oGroups[g].CreateChildGroup(oObjDefs[o].Name(Context.getSelectedLanguage()), Context.getSelectedLanguage());
   }     
}

Vladimir,

I did not have any result.. Here's what I did:

I created a test group where I moved objects (AST) resulting from a research

see Fig 1: Before running the report

 I created a new report:

•  context = Group and Objects
•  output = RTF (I think it is not important)
•  with layout  (I think it is not important)
•  I copied the code as in your message
•  run the report on the test group without result

Fig 1: Before running the report and after for the result:

What I need to get after running the report: Groups creation from AST Objects

I have no need for the subgroup.

Sorry for the french language in these images but it's gave you a better idea.

Hi Jacques,

did you refresh navigation tree after script running?

Hi Vladimir,

Yes I refresh navigation tree after running the script and to be sure, I close and reopen the database after script running without success.

When I double click on the script in the above message, I see  ?  at the end of the first line, is it normal ?  :

Actually I use IT Arch vers SR 2011_01.

Hi Jacques,

green questionmark is ok, click on this, you understand.

Unfortunately, I don't know where is problem in script, but I have version 7.1. only...

Hi Vladimir,

OK for green questionmark.

I will invest time soon to see what's wrong in my environment with this script.



Thank you for the time invested to help me.

Hi Jacques,

you are welcome. Try to debug script and find out where is problem.

Thanks for the given scripts. I found here the solution to one of my biggest problems at work;) Now I'm sure to succeed))
