A dataset can be directly and explicitly related to an Item Revision with, as an example, a specification relationship. With GRM, you can define and enforce specific rules pertaining to relationships, as well as separate the maintenance of relationships from the data itself. Common Return Values
Return Value Description
#CXPOM_invalid_tag Invalid tag supplied.
#GRM_duplicate_relation_type The type you propose to create already exists in the system.
#GRM_internal_error The GRM module has detected an internal inconsistency and therefore should not be used.
#GRM_invalid_primary_object Specified tag for the primary_object is not valid.
#GRM_invalid_relation_type Specified tag for relation_type is not valid.
#GRM_invalid_secondary_objectSpecified tag for the secondary_object is not valid.
#GRM_invalid_user_data Specified tag for user_data is not valid.
#GRM_not_initialized The GRM module was not initialized.
#GRM_relation_already_exists The relation being saved already exists.
#GRM_relation_does_not_exist Relation does not exist.
#GRM_undefined_relation_type The type you propose to delete does not exist.
Returned Tag Structure Several GRM list functions return a list of tag quadruplets defined by the structure #GRM_relation_t. The tag structure includes the tags of the primary_object, secondary_object, relation_type, and the user_data. The tag of a specific element of the structure can be referenced as follows:
structure_name.primary To reference the primary object.
structure_name.secondary To reference the secondary object.
structure_name.relation_typeTo reference the relation type.
structure_name.user_data To reference the user data.
Constraint Handler Registration and Execution User-written constraint handlers should be registered in the USER_register_handlers user exit. This user exit is called during initialization for both interactive and ITK modes. This ensures that constraint handling is enforced in a consistent manner. If constraint handlers are also registered in your ITK program (as well as in USER_register_handlers), then both sets of constraint handlers are called in the order they were registered. Since USER_register_handlers is called before your main ITK program, any handler you register in your ITK program is executed after the handlers registered using USER_register_handlers. Additionally, it is possible that an internal Teamcenter handler is also registered for a give relation type and action combination. Such a handler is normally registered by a Teamcenter module or application to enforce certain rules before the user exit USER_register_handlers is called. Internal handlers are always executed before any user-written handler. Multi-Level Handlers Several levels of constraint handlers can exist for a particular relation type and action combination. There are internal handlers which a Teamcenter developer may have registered. For example, a new module in Teamcenter (i.e., MYITEM) may register a set of internal handlers for creating a relation of type reference to ensure that the primary object is either an item or an item revision. The System Administrator of an installation could also register handlers using the user exit USER_register_handlers to enforce the rule that the user must be the owner of the item or item revision to allow the creation of such a relation. Additionally, an ITK program can register another set of handlers to enforce the rule that the secondary object cannot be another item or item revision. For multi-level handlers, the order of execution is as follows:
  1. internal pre-condition handler
  2. user exit pre-condition handler
  3. ITK program pre-condition handler
  4. internal pre-action handler
  5. user exit pre-action handler
  6. ITK program pre-action handler
  7. base action (the main operation performed by Teamcenter)
  8. internal post-action handler
  9. user exit post-action handler
  10. ITK program post-action handler
If a handler that executes first returns an error condition, then the other registered handlers will not execute. For example, if the internal pre-condition handler returns an error, none of the other handlers will execute; this includes the base action. @{ */ #define GRM_class_name_c "ImanRelation" #define GRM_relationtype_name_size_c 32 typedef struct GRM_relation_s { tag_t the_relation; tag_t primary; tag_t secondary; tag_t relation_type; tag_t user_data; } GRM_relation_t, *GRM_relation_p_t; /** Provides a list of Primary/Secondary objects and Generic Relationship Management (GRM) Relations to search for. */ typedef struct GRM_list_relation_input_s { int object_count; /**< Number of primary/secondary objects to search for.*/ tag_t* objects; /**< object_count The list of such objects.*/ int relation_type_count; /**< Number of relation types to search for.*/ tag_t* relation_types; /**< relation_type_count List of relation types.*/ } GRM_list_relation_input_t, *GRM_list_relation_input_p_t; #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C"{ #endif /** Creates a relation of the specified type.
