Connector through the Automation Interface

[Yves.]

Hi there,

I'm trying to add a Connector between two Elements from JScript. I am using this piece of code

var myConnector as EA.Connector;
myConnector = myPackage.Connectors.addNew("myCon", "Association");
myPackage.Connectors.Refresh();
myConnector.Update();

...where myPackage is a suitably initialized package.

When trying to update, the JScript engine complains that myConnector is null. My understanding is that it should be created by Connectors.addNew(...). Any clue?

Thanks,
Yves.

Hi Yves,

How did you attach the connector to its ends?  

You need to setup the connector before you update it and in the following order...

                oConnector.Update();
                oPackage.Connectors.Refresh();
                oPackage.Update();

HTH,
Paolo

Y'all,

Check this post : http://www.sparxsystems.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1281541624/4#4 and see if this is of any help...

The code obviously lacks .SupplierID / .ClientID to be supplied (one of both is filled automatically but the other needs to be added by hand).
