ITK an Intro

Hello Folks,
It been long time here and I hope everyone is great on your own way.. :)

Recently I started writing ITK scripts (baby scripts) and kind of enjoying it..

So before we start that, let me share what I know/learnt..

Using ITK we can write an
 1. Executables (exe) which can run standalone like batch/cron jobs,
 2. Library (dll (windows)/so (unix)) which can be used to write action, rule handlers.

NOTE:
You can use Visual Studio to write the ITK programs, I tried configuring them as per the Siemens (http://support.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/docs/teamcenter/9.1/help/index.html#uid:index_itk:id921903:itkusingfunctions:id733668:id1244802) document., but couldn't succeed.. :)

Don't know where I'm going wrong.. Anyways you can do it.. Since I don't have enough patience, I just went with notepad++..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXE:
As of now, I have written only an exe and here are the steps to I used to compile and build them,
  • Should write the code first :)
  • Then open cmd and set TC env, i.e, TC_ROOT and TC_DATA
  • In cmd, go to TC_ROOT->sample folder
  • To compile your program, use the below syntax..
    • > compile -DIPLIB=none filename.c
    • eg: 
      • > compile -DIPLIB=none manipulator.c
  • To build as an executable exe, here is the syntax
    • > linkitk -o exeName filename.obj
    • eg:
      • > linkitk -o manipulator manipulator.obj
Then run them.. :) easy..

  Useful Static Methods - Part II Few more static methods developed during our customization... Sharing the same to you.. :) 1.  /* Show ootb properties dialog  * @param selectedComponent  */ public static void showProperties (TCComponent selectedComponent) { final Registry comdReg = Registry.getRegistry("com.teamcenter.rac.common.actions.actions");  try { AbstractAIFCommand cmd = (AbstractAIFCommand) comdReg.newInstanceFor("propertiesCommand", new Object[] { selectedComponent, AIFDesktop.getActiveDesktop() }); cmd.executeModeless(); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.  /* Scroll the panel to top  * @param scrollPanel*/ public static void scrollToTop (final JScrollPane scrollPanel) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { scroll

RAC Customization - Usefull Static Methods - Part I

RAC Customization - Static Methods In every project, there will be a package called " common ", which have classes consist of generic static methods. These methods reduces time, duplication of code, etc.. Below are the few static methods which are created for my project.. I guess, these methods will be very common in every project.. 1. /** Method to check whether an item exists in the database with given ID */     public static boolean isItemExists (TCSession tceSession, String itemId)     throws TCException {         String msg = "";         TCComponentQuery tceItemQuery = null;                TCComponentQueryType qType = (TCComponentQueryType) tceSession.getTypeComponent("ImanQuery");         tceItemQuery = (TCComponentQuery) qType.find("Item...");               String entry[] = { "Item ID" };         String value[] = { itemId };         TCComponent[] result = tceItemQuery.execute(entry, value);         if

VISUAL STUDIO - DEBUG SETUP PROCEDURE (DLL / EXE) Thanks to my colleagues for making this document and I'm just posting it in my blog. ;) In VS; Create New project: File->New->Project … Select Win32 Console Application. Give name and Solution Name If you need to generate DLL select DLL radio button and select “Empty project” in Additional options. If you need to generate .EXE executable select “ Console application ” and select “Empty project” in Additional options. Create a .cpp file under Source Files folder in the project and then proceed the below steps.  Set below values in the Property Pages: Additional Library Directories --> Add ‘lib’ directory path of TC installation location. Enable Incremental Linking --> No Generates dll as we choose DLL in the second screenshot above. Cross verify it in below one Set TC_ROOT, TC_DATA, and call tc_profilevars.bat in Environment Add additional ‘
