Execute ICriteria filter against Agile Object using custom code with the Agile SDK.
We need to send an email to a User and that User’s Transfer Authority given a Change Order. It seems we will need to write custom code to determine whether an ICriteria has been met and which User the Authority has been transferred to.
Given an `ICriteria` and an `IChange`, is it possible to use the built in Agile Business Rules Engine to determine if that change order successfully matches the criteria?
Something like:
ICriteria criteria = getAllChangeOrderCriteria();
IChange changeOrder = getCurrentChangeOrder();
if (passesCriteria(criteria, changeOrder)) {
/// dosomething
}
I am really hoping we don’t have to write our own Lexer and Parser to execute the Business Rules defined by an ICriteria and can obtain access to the Engine used by Agile PLM itself.
Hello
I don’t think there is something for exactly what you are describing
However, in order to find the Transfer authority for a giver user/change, there is SDK available. I haven’t personally tried it, but looks like this will give the info you are looking for. This is available for IChange
| IDataObject [] getPossibleTransferredFromUsers | ( | IStatus | status | ) | throws APIException |
Retrieves an array of users that are transfer authorities of the current user for a particular workflow status.
- Parameters:
-
status a node corresponding to the desired workflow status. You can retrieve the current status using getStatus(). To retrieve the default next status, use getDefaultNextStatus().
- Returns:
- an array of IUser and IUserGroup objects
- Exceptions:
-
APIException if the method fails
- Since:
- 9.2.2.2
Hope this helps

I was finally able to try this, and it does not appear to do what we need. In fact, it returns nothing. We setup a Change, assigned Approvers, setup a Transfer Authority, and then invoke this method. It returns an empty array. The name seems to imply it would return the users something was transfered from. We need to know all of the users that could approve in the place of another user.
I verified that the Transfer Authority itself is working properly within the PLM platform. No matter which API method is called, it will not return a list of Users which have their Authority Transferred to them.
