I had a similar issue, where data from a ‘Save As’ did not get cleared.  But we decided to do it a different way.  The users were ok with this idea.  Clear a couple of dates on every Affected Item when the ECO went from Pending to Submitted.  This is the script.

// Purpose: Clear the Affected Items 'Effective Date' and 'Obsolete Date' when ECO status goes from Pending to Submitted.
// Event Subscriber: Event Type is 'Change Status for Workflow'. Object Type is 'ECO'
// Event: Workflow: specify the Workflow name. Object Type: 'ECO'. Status - From: 'Pending'. Status - To: 'Submitted'
// Event Handler Type: Script PX, groovy script, using Agile SDK

Thanks for the tips. I created a PX script in the Event Handler and only enabled the Event Subscriber so I could run it once, then disable it.  Here is the script that worked.

// Purpose: Soft delete multiple items

// Agile PLM Groovy script, using Agile SDK

// For a bunch of parts, delete them in Agile. But only delete once because doing it 2nd

// time will permenantly delete it. To permanently delete, log in to Agile, go to the

// Recycle Bin, sort by item description, find those and select that begin with "del",

// and permanently delete multiple items from there.

//

// 1. Only do this for Item Lifecycle Phase = 'Preliminary'

// 2. pitem.isDeleted() should be false, meaning only delete if it has not been marked as deleted yet

// 3. pitem.delete(); delete item and put in Recycle bin

// 4. Append "del " to front of item description so we can find these easy in the recycle bin

// 4.1 Remove last 4 chars from item description before adding "del " to avoid going over char limit

I wanted to give an update here, now that I have more or less solved my issue.
The MultiList03 attribute on the item is configured in our system to use a list.
And the list it uses is the Agile ‘User Groups’ list, which is considered a dynamic list.
A simple list is easier to deal with. Let’s say I have a User Group named “Texas”, and another named “Arizona”.
Below is an example of some code that shows how I can replace the current values, with “Texas” and “Arizona”.
This is Groovy code added to the code section of an Event Handler within Agile PLM 936.

// MultiList03 uses the ‘User Groups’ list, which is a dynamic list in Agile, not a simple list
// item is of the type IItem, which we already defined before getting to this point

ICell cell = item.getCell(CommonConstants.ATT_PAGE_TWO_MULTILIST03);
IAgileList values = cell.getAvailableValues();
if (values.getChildNodes() == null) {
IAgileClass cls = cell.getAttribute().getListAgileClass();
obj.logMonitor(“cls: ” + cls); // <– output is — cls: User Groups
if (cls != null) {

// *** I plan to have “Texas” and “Arizona” in a String array, so I will do this differently in a loop
// *** I won’t hard-code these values, because there could be 1 or more. For example: “Texas”, “Ohio”, and “Florida”

Object[] usrGrps = [ (IUserGroup)session.getObject(cls, “Texas”)]; // <– this will end up being an array of objects
usrGrps += [ (IUserGroup)session.getObject(cls, “Arizona”)]; // <– the += helped me here

values.setSelection(usrGrps);
cell.setValue(values); // <– this worked and added the two values
}
}

This select has worked for me, but I don’t think it gets the Mfr info.

v_id NUMBER(10,0) := NULL;
v_class NUMBER(10,0) := NULL;
v_parent VARCHAR2(300 BYTE) := NULL;

x_class NUMBER(10,0) := NULL;

— v_id := the id from the item table
— v_class := the class number from the item table

— at the bottom of this select, you will see the nth level is set to 7

In this Oracle docum, scroll down to section 5.7.3.  But, I have not personally tried it.

I agree with Raj that the user refresh can happen automatically with LDAP.  I also set up an event that runs once a day and looks for any new users created in Agile, makes them Active and also adds them to a User Group.  I can send you that Groovy script if you wish.  Email me at mathison at hotmail dot com.

Nevermind.  I found an example in the SDK documentation.

Thank you Raj and Kevin.  I added more roles to the Event Handler and then it worked.  And I also needed to change  IAttribute  to  String .  I had found that code somewhere, maybe in one of these forums.  When a user gets created from LDAP, it is automatically giving it the Roles ‘Creator can read and discover object he or she created’ and ‘My User Profile’.  Now, I also want to update the User Category to ‘Concurrent’ and also add the user to a User Group.

For our Agile system, internally, the dates on the database records are always stored in GMT time zone.  So, if you are in Agile, in US Eastern time, and you save a date and time at 11pm on Sep 30, the value in the database record will say 4am (or 5am) on Oct 1.  GMT is 4 or 5 hours ahead of EST.   Your personal user settings time zone  decide how the date is displayed when you look at it in Agile.
