Posted on by Community Member

Hi Everyone,

I am just developing "Xpo deployment tracking system" .and i found difficulty to fetch version id of the of the object. using object name as args value so that it can give you the version information.

Requirement are needed as mentioned below?

1. You can see the screen shot , in this form i want to insert the New version id, Old version id Old change number and New change number.

2. I want to open the version history form(SysVersionControlItemHistory) by passing Object name on click of the menuItem button as given "version history" on the form it should pop up as same as it pop-up on the right click on the object and choose history

Can anyone please help me to achieve this requirement?

Regards,

Pankaj Kumar

TFS is not versioning the actual objects. In the history you can only see Changeset number that has been allocated to the group of objects for which it has been checked in. If you check the SysVersionControl* classes, you can see how AX is running a query for example for the Changeset history form which could be opened from the Version Control menu item.

It is using the TFS integration DLLs, for which you could navigate up and down on the topics available in the documentation below to get some ideas:

[View:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb286958:750:50]

For AX they also wrote a wrapper VS project which does these calls, if I remember it right then it is also available in the AOT, that is being called by the classes.

You could use those references easily to implement your "versioning" history, I also did a couple of customizations in this area that you could read up on my blog, to filter/fetch specific changesets only for example:

https://www.daxrunbase.com/2017/05/20/improved-tfs-version-control-tools/

You could also read the code on the SysCompareForm for example, which pulls previous changesets for the code compare window specific for an object.

Hi,

As i observed the code, and for getting the item history i have to pass controllable object , which is the nothing but a value as the path of the object.
Fig:1- Passing the controllable object. fig:2 Controllable object taking path as a value of type syscontrollable

so can it be possible that, i could just only passing the name of the object and it is filled the controllable object as path of the object from AOT. ? Please help me to achieve this.

Regards,

Pankaj Kumar

A SysVersionControllable object can be instantiated from a TreeNode AOT object, or path via the SysTreeNode class (casting works too with the AS keyword based on SysTreeNode):

SysVersionControllable controllable = SysTreeNode::newTreeNodePath(treeNodeAOTpath);

Based on this you could write your own method to get the controllable object by only passing in the AOT path.

You need to know the entire path since based on the object name you would get multiple hits (check SysModelElement and *ElementData tables filtered by name like SalesTable for example, and see how many different element types you get).

Based on the above answer , I have written the below code, but it ends with error, Please verify and correct once, if needed.

static void getingVersionId(Args _args)

{

SysVersionControllable controllable, value;

SysVersionControlTmpItem item;

SysDictClass sysDictClass;

sysDictClass = new SysDictClass(1059);

if (sysDictClass.isImplementing(classnum(SysVersionControllable)))

{

controllable = SysTreeNode::newTreeNodePath("\Classes\TestingArgs");

}

if(controllable)

{

item = versionControl.getItemHistory(controllable);

while select item order by Version

{

info(strFmt("Item: %1",item.Version));

info(strFmt("Item: %1",item.ActionText));

info(strFmt("Item: %1",item.ChangeNumber));

}

}

item.setTmp();

item.checkRecord(false);

item.setTmpData(item);

}

Share the error text and the call stack with the line number please. If you debug, do you see the objects instantiated correctly?

I think the backslash is being converted as control characters/escape sequences in this case, and you are supposed to put it as literal string.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_sequences_in_C

You can do it by putting an @ character in front of the quotation marks, or escape the backslash by doubling it up.

@"\Classes\YourClass"

This code worked..!

----------------------------------

static void getingVersionId(Args _args)

{

SysVersionControllable controllable, value;

SysVersionControlTmpItem item;

controllable = SysTreeNode::newTreeNodePath(@"\Classes\PNG_MeltingReportDP");

if(controllable)

{

item = versionControl.getItemHistory(controllable);

while select item order by Version

{

info(strFmt("Item: %1",item.Version));

info(strFmt("Item: %1",item.ActionText));

info(strFmt("Item: %1",item.ChangeNumber));

}

}

item.setTmp();

item.checkRecord(false);

item.setTmpData(item);

}

Thanks for correcting me, really appreciated !
