Object Aspects Binds

Business rules can use the following object aspects binds to get the ID and Name of STEP object that the business rule is being evaluated or executed against.

For information on accessing the current object, see the Current Object Bind documentation here.

Each bind is defined in the sections below.

Configuration

To use any bind:

  1. Create a business rule as defined in the Creating a Business Rule or Library topic here.
  2. Edit the business rule as defined in the Editing a Business Rule topic here.
  3. In the Edit Operation dialog, add the bind to a business rule, as defined in the Adding a Bind topic here.
  4. In the Edit Operation dialog, optionally add Messages, as defined in the Adding a Localized Business Rule Message topic here.
  5. In the Edit Operation dialog, add JavaScript to call the bind.

Important: The example scripts should not be used as-is without thorough testing, including updating the script to match object and link types that exist on your system.

ID

This bind resolves to the ID of current object (Java String).

The following code checks if the ID is not ‘Product hierarchy root’ then sets the ID to attribute NODEID.

//node = bind to current node.
 
if (!id.equals(“Product hierarchy root”)) {
    node.getValue("NODEID").setSimpleValue(id);
}

Name

This bind resolves to the name of current object (Java String or null if no name).

In this example, 'Name' is bound to the variable 'name'. The code checks if there is a name.

//node = bind to current node.
 
if (name) {
    node.getValue("NODENAME").setSimpleValue(name);
}
