Help with creating occurrences with scripts

Hi Rafael,

you have to check if the symbol type is allowed for your object definition and model. Next check if the object type of the object definition is allowed for the model type of your model definition. Use the ARIS method help.

Last. Try to set the position parameters to zero or 1:

var newOccurrence = model.createObjOcc(symbol,objDef,1,1);

Regards,

Jens

Hi Jens, thanks for your response. I verified what you said. But I think everything is allright, because my symbolNum() is coming from another occurrence of an object which is exactly the same that I'm trying to create. And The object definition is fine, cause I'm also creating it via script, and it is created fine.

I tried setting the position to (1,1), but I still get the (invalid) thing.

My scenario is like this: I have to create, via script, an "AND" object in an "EPC" model. Besides, I have to create an occurrence of this new object, based on another occurrence within the same model. Later, I will remove the old occurrence. So the symbolNum and the position parameters are coming from this old occurrence. I'm getting the symbolNum like this: "oldOccurrence.SymbolNum()", which appears to be correct.

Any ideas?

Rafael,

not at the moment. Can you post more from your source code?

Well, thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I can't post more because there are strict rules at the company I work for. 

My script works and it returns the expected result. But I got curious about why the console shows the object like this.

Hello,

I came across the same issue. I have a script that is working well evaluating some objects, On process interfaces however it gave me partly above issue.

Who knows what might be additional reasons for not being able to create occurrences apart from the above mentioned?

I am using ARIS version 97.0.0.958093. Thanks for your answers!

Dear Christian,

To get more attention with your question, it's better to post a new article and just refer to this rather old discussion by a link.

Since I am not developing report scripts I can't help you here except with the above advice.

Cheers
