Attribute Auto numbering via Using "Parent Object Attribute Reference"

[Giriraj Gupta]

Hello Guys,

Anybody has used Auto numbering of any attribute Using "Parent Object Attribute Reference"? 

I have tried to use for Baseline attribute Revision id but when given reference of Parent Object Attribute Reference i.e Investment.unique_name as per below snap shot. 

but when baseline created, it created revision is with  {inv.unique_code}3. It means, it did not take value parent object's attribute.

I have seen one article also for this - https://ca-broadcom.wolkenservicedesk.com/external/article?articleId=20366 and don't know if it is fixed or not yet.

Please provide your suggestions.

Hi Giriraj,

I have two questions

1) What is your ppm version?
2) Which way you tried to create baseline instance, XOG or Application?

Because my instance version is 15.5.1.240 and I am able to create a new baseline instance through Application.

Hello Arjunan,
1) What is your ppm version? --- Vesrion - 15.6.1.265
2) Which way you tried to create baseline instance, XOG or Application?
I am creating Baseline via process - system action. As i have used auto numbering for baseline revision id so it should be auto generated but not happening as per my comments.

Hi Giriraj,

If auto extend in number counter is checked and attribute has enough size to hold extended value, my suggestion would be checking the process.

Can you please check process script and let us know what way does it uses to create a new baseline instance?

Upto my knowledge, there are 3 ways that can be used in process(custom GEL script) to create a new baseline instance

1) Through XOG - SOAP call
2) Through Rest API - HTTP call
3) Through Direct SQL insert

Hello @Arjunan Kalyanasundharam
​
I am creating Baseline via Object base process and there using System action i.e. Baseline investment.

Please let us know the Clarity version you are using.
I can see it working in the latest GA release.

However, I do see the field only allows up to 2 characters - so it will only use the first 2 characters of the field that is identified.
UPDATE: This is due to the other segment already existing which is defined to use 8 characters.  The maximum Auto-Number for this field is 10.

Hello Kathryn Ellis,

I am using Clarity Vesrion - 15.6.1.265 and auto numbering via Using "Parent Object Attribute Reference" is not working as per comments.

However, I do see the field only allows up to 2 characters - so it will only use the first 2 characters of the field that is identified.
UPDATE: This is due to the other segment already existing which is defined to use 8 characters.  The maximum Auto-Number for this field is 10.

On this comment - I have taken 6 chars of Investment field and 1 for number counter. Am i doing something wrong here?
