Creating EPC Row display Models using script or reports

Hi Sunil,

you can either create a EPC Row model from scratch, create all lanes with the correct size and place the occs into it. (because report cannot create/move lanes if the model has any content). This is only the second best solution...

The best way would be to use model generation. Starting from an EPC, your code could look like the following:

function generateRowModel(oModel)
{
    var modelGeneration = Context.getComponent("ModelGeneration")
    if(modelGeneration!=null)
    {
        var options = modelGeneration.createModelGenerationOptions();
        options.setExpandModelDepth(0)
        options.setExpandModelDepthForProcesInterfaces(0)
        options.onlyCxnsWithOccs(true)
        options.multipleOccs(true)
        options.hideProcessInterfaces(false)
        
        var models = ArisData.createTypedArray(Constants.CID_MODEL)
        models.push(oModel)
        
        modelNewRowEPC = modelGeneration.generateModel(models, oModel.Name(g_nLoc),Constants.MT_EEPC_ROW, oModel.Group(), options)        
        if(modelNewRowEPC!=null)
        {
            modelNewRowEPC.setAttrOccHandling(Constants.ATTROCCHANDLING_BREAKATTR)        
            return modelNewRowEPC;
        }
    }
    return null; //model generation failed
}

Hi Torsten,
Thanks for reply. But i am using aris 7.1 and the method createTypedArray is not available in arisdatat for me.

Also if you can suggest how we can add objects and connections to the respective lanes.

For example. In an epc if a workrole has a is responsible for relationship with activity function we will create a lane with name of work role and connection type I.e. active name of connection.

All the work roles having same type of relationship will be placed in this lane only. Similarly for other work roles and connection combination.

Can you please suggests how this can be done.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sunil,

Refer this code.

Create EPC and delete/create vertical, horizontal lanes.

function main() {
    var nLocale = Context.getSelectedLanguage();    // Selected database language
    var aGroups = ArisData.getSelectedGroups();     // Selected Group
    var sModelName = "Text EPC Row Display";        // EPC Model Name
    
    var result = createOrGetModel(aGroups[0], sModelName, Constants.MT_EEPC_ROW, nLocale);
}

function createOrGetModel(cGroup, sModelName, cModelTypeNumber, nLocale) {
    var aDatabase = ArisData.getActiveDatabase();
    var aSearchItem = aDatabase.createSearchItem(Constants.AT_NAME, nLocale, sModelName , Constants.SEARCH_CMP_EQUAL, false,  true) 
    var aModelList = cGroup.ModelList(false, [cModelTypeNumber], aSearchItem);
        
    var rModel = null;
    var aModel;
    
    // get existing model
    for (var i = 0; i< aModelList.length; i++){
        aModel = aModelList[i];
        if (aModel.Attribute(Constants.AT_NAME, nLocale).getValue() == sModelName) {
            rModel = aModel;
            break;
        }
    }

    // create model if same model is not existed.
    if (rModel == null) {
        rModel = cGroup.CreateModel(cModelTypeNumber, sModelName, nLocale);
        rModel.changeFlag(Constants.MODEL_RIGHT_ANGLED_CXNS, true);
        rModel.changeFlag(Constants.MODEL_HSYMBOL_OFF, false);
    }
    
    // Count swimlanes in Model
    var VLaneList = rModel.GetLanes(Constants.LANE_VERTICAL);
    var HLaneList = rModel.GetLanes(Constants.LANE_HORIZONTAL);
    
    // delete last vertical lane
    rModel.deleteLane(VLaneList[VLaneList.length-1]);
    // Add 2 vertical lanes 
    for(var i=0; i<2; i++) {
        // add Organization Elements/Application system Type Lane
        rModel.createLane(Constants.LT_ORGELEM_APPSYS, Constants.LANE_VERTICAL);
    }
    // delete horizontal lanes 
    for (var i=HLaneList.length; i>2; i--) {
        rModel.deleteLane(HLaneList[i-1]);
    }
    // add 2 horizontal lane
    for(var i=0; i<2; i++) {
        // add Carries out/Supports Type Lane 
        rModel.createLane(Constants.LT_EXEC_SUPP, Constants.LANE_HORIZONTAL);
    }    
//    if (rModel != null && rModel.IsValid()) 
//        resModel.setTemplate (getTemplateGUID(), true);
}

main();

Hi

Thanks for example!

I've read from help that for deleteLane model is supposed to be empty.

So, do you know any other way to delete empty horizontal lanes if there are some objects on model (not in these lanes)?
