Retrieve Assembly Structure

gfontana — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 13:22:30 GMT

Hello everyone,

I need to wite a java custom class that retrieve the structure of an assembly (.asm) file.

The class must be execute in a listener after the CheckIn event.

I have found a call to Swagger REST Api (structure/objects descendants) and it is working on a standalone java class.

I wondering if it is possible to call a REST Api inside a java custom class executed at the CheckIn event.

If it is not possible what JAVA API I shoul use for a Windchill 11.0 M030 ?

Thankyou

Hi @gfontana,

If you could share/let us know how did you call Swagger REST Api (structure/objects descendants) from within standalone java class (your standalone example may be), I can play around it to see if we can call it inside check in event listner.

Regards,

Shirish

Hi Shirish, the REST api call is:

http://<server>:<port>/Windchill/servlet/rest/structure/objects/VR%3Awt.epm.EPMDocument%3A696618/descendantSummaries?criteria=%7B%20%22levels%22%20%3A%201%20%7D

where <server> and<port> are valorized with the client data.

The java files is in attached

Note: the java class is in progress so probabilly there are some imprecision

Thank you

@gfontana

Try this OData REST API

POST <windchill_server>:<port>/Windchillservlet/odata/ProdMgmt/Parts('part_id')/PTC.ProdMgmt.GetBOM?$expand=Components($expand=Part($select=Name,Number),PartUse,Occurrences) 
CSRF_NONCE: <nonce_value>
Content-Type: application/json

Request Body:
{

}

@gfontana are you asking the support timeline for SwaggerAPIs?

I am not sure about the support timeline. However, I see a lot of new OData based APIs being exposed. I think you should start using the OData based APIs.
