I have searched this API usage in GTAC and the result was none. After writing many lines of code, found that one single API can rule out the change.
(Sometimes SMALL things can do BIG).

int Clone_init()
{

tItem = NULLTAG;

tItem =

ITK_CALL( BOM_create_window (
&tBomWindow ) );
ITK_CALL ( BOM_set_window_pack_all

Hi Bharat,
ReplyDeleteI have never used this API, but it does look interesting. Could you explain the usecase where you had to use this. Also, the API description says "Clone a Product revision recursively from input revision id". Could you explain this.
Hello,
DeleteIf you want to copy/clone the exact whole structure to a new one, you should write a recursive method to traverse the whole structure and then create a new structure with same object names.
Instead of using a recursive method, the above API will help you to do the same.
Regards
Bharat
