How to get a string name of the object where the item is stored ?

Hello,

I want to check what is the object's name where token.FlowItem is stored using code.

I have found something like this in the tree but I don't know how to refer to ,,curFR:"

There were a similiar topic Topic but I couldn't find an answear to this specific variable there.

Software Version:

FlexSim 19.0.2

I don’t have a direct approach to get the data of a current fixed resource of an item.

You can try to find the fixed resource in the treenode path of the item. I would split the path string into an array, combine the array again by the method join to test every level of the path to be an object of the fixed resources class.

Array pathStr = item.getpath(0,1).split(“/“);

Delete last element of the array

Array newStr = pathStr.pop();

Build new path string

string newPath = newStr.join(“/“);

Build tree node reference

treenode testedNode = model().find(newPath);// maybe start node is main()

Test if the classobject(testedNode) belongs to the subnodes of the fixedresources directory in the library.

It's a brilliant idea!

Array pathStr = item.getpath(0,1).split(“/“);

should be:

Array pathStr = item.getPath(0,1).split("/");

string newPath = newStr.join(“/“);

should be:

string newPath = pathStr.join("/");

cause pop method returns the last element of the array.

More comprehensively:

treenode obj=item;
while (objectexists(itemtype(obj)))
    obj=obj.up;
return obj; //container that is not an item

You are a genius！

Fixed Resource objects don't have itemtype node.

@Kamil KS,

What about "token.Flowitem.up.name"?

Doesn´t this work?

@sebastian.hemmann, this works if the item is stored directly at the object. But if the tested item belongs to a structure of combined containers, you need to know how the structure is organized to get to the level of the fixed resource.

But you can iterate 'up' until you don't find an item - no need to parse strings.
