How to retrieve the "Used in" information of a requirement artifact with client extension?

0
Hutter Donat (215●35●39) | asked Jan 12 '15, 12:17 p.m.

In the documentation for RM client extensions (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RMExtensionsAPI502) I found under  "Well known attributes and properties"

CONTAINING_MODULE  = The Used In property of an artifact that refers to a containing module

I expected to get the references as displayed in the "Where Used" section of the artifact.

the code looks like this

RM.Data.getAttributes(refs,  [RM.Data.Attributes.IDENTIFIER, RM.Data.Attributes.CONTAINING_MODULE], function(opResult) {
   if (opResult.code === RM.OperationResult.OPERATION_OK) {
        opResult.data.forEach(function(item){
        var id = item.values[RM.Data.Attributes.IDENTIFIER];
        var used = item.values[RM.Data.Attributes.CONTAINING_MODULE];
        });
});

The "id" is ok. For "used" I always get the value "undefined".

What is wrong?

Hi,

Did you find an answer to this? I am trying to do the same thing. I get used populated but it looks like it is with an empty object. (I am using 5.0.1)

Not really ... the only thing I recognized: if I run the extension from within a module, it returns the the current module !?

From memory it appears that the containing module can ONLY be used when the module is opened and not when you browse artefacts. This is a pretty big limitation however it does work when the module is open.

Thanks for the clarification ... I assumed that the CONTAINING_MODULE was returning the "Where used" section, which is definitely not the case.
