Aras innovator promoteItem from one state to another state

<AML>
<Item type="Document" action="promoteItem" version="0" where="[Document].id='1121B0903C8C4DAEB57006C0C5234C82'" serverEvents="0">
<state>Superseded</state>
</Item>
</AML>

Error LifeCycle: PromoteItem: Transition to promote Part from Preliminary to Released not found

LifeCycle: PromoteItem: Transition to promote Part from Preliminary to Released not found

Internal Error: failed to get the transition to promote the Part from Preliminary to Released

Aras Innovator error.

Solution:

You are missing “Assigned Creator” value for a Item, first provide “Assigned Creator” value, then try to promoteitem.

This is the AML which used to promote the state for an Item.

<AML>
<Item type=”Part” action=”promoteItem” where=”[PART].item_number=’P0001′”>
<state>New state</state>
</Item>
</AML>

Alternate way is- enabling logging:

Go to Innovator server.

Open: InnovatorServerConfig.xml

<operating_parameter key="debug_log_flag" value="false" />

Change to : <operating_parameter key="debug_log_flag" value="true” />

Note: This will be log each action, so after logging your action set back to “false”

Go to this path:

C:\ArasBuilds\B12345\Innovator\Server\logs\

Open .xml

AML, which is passing OC to Aras:

<Item isNew="1" isTemp="1" type="Part" action="add" id="E2FD1158A14A4C99A9D8AD51BC7E74F7">                                 <item_number>Part</item_number>                                 <external_owner>Aras.Document.MS-Office</external_owner>                                 <authoring_tool>Microsoft Excel</authoring_tool>                                 <classification>Test</classification>                                 <from_template>                                 </from_template>                                 <locked_by_id>AD30A6D8D3B642F5A2AFED1A4B02BEFA</locked_by_id>                                 <thumbnail>vault:///?fileId=DBA6420BA6E1400D89F8C2B9A75F4D55</thumbnail>                 </Item>

Aras debugging

Add this in innovatorconfig.xml

in method add this: if (System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch()) System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

when we call method, it will open VS and run debugging
if VS is not opened,
Open VS as admin
Click Tools
Click Attach process
Click Show processes for all users
Search for  w3wp.exe
select right w3wp.exe (should be innovator, not vault)
Attach
OK

Now you will get debugging
