why dbCreateHierProp does not work for objectIds

Atul Dubey

Hello Experts,

I was trying to create a hierProp on a view, for example

view = ddGetObj("testlib" "test_props" "schematic")
dd:0x22211498
bag = dbOpenBag(view "a")
db:0x169bc79a
dbCreateProp(view "newStrProp" "string" "NEWSTRINGPROP")
db:0x169bc71c
dbCreateHierProp(view "newHierProp")
nil

In the example above dbCreateProp worked as expected but not dbCreateHierProp.

Is this expected or a bug, I am using IC617.

Thanks in advance for you help.

  • According to the documentation, this should work. It used to work in CDB, but doesn't work in OA (at least in IC617 - I didn't check back versions). I did find some internal CCRs relating to their being some problems but these were a long time ago and prior to IC610 being released.

    As a workaround you can use:

    hp=dbCreateHierProp(bag "newHierProp")

    (in other words, use the bag rather than the view directly; all the view would do is internally open the bag anyway).

    You might want to contact customer support on this to get it fixed. Worst case, we should at least update the documentation to make it clear how you workaround this.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
