https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1592/getprocesselement-not-found-when-migrating-to-ivy-6<p>Hello,</p> <p>While testing migration of various projects to Ivy 6.0, I encountered a problem with a method that does not exist anymore.</p> <pre><code> /** * Find the current process name. * * @return fully qualified process name * @throws Exception */ public static String getName() throws Exception { return SecurityManagerFactory.getSecurityManager().executeAsSystem(new Callable&lt;String&gt;() { public String call() { IProcess process = ProcessNavigationUtil.getProcess(MetaData.getProcessElement()); if (process != null) return process.getPath(); return null; } }); } </code></pre> <p>In the previous code, the method <strong>MetaData.getProcessElement()</strong> is not found. By looking in Ivy 5.1.7, it was implemented as:</p> <pre><code> public static ZObject getProcessElement() { return (ZObject)IvyThreadContext.getIvyThreadLocalValue("processElement"); } </code></pre> <p>Now the method has been removed, and a new method <strong>getProcessElementId()</strong> was added, but with a new signature:</p> <pre><code> public static PID getProcessElementId() { return (PID)IvyThreadContext.getIvyThreadLocalValue("processElement"); } </code></pre> <p>I didn't found this change in the migration documentation. Can I know the reason for removing the previous method and what are the alternative in order to get the current process name? Thanks.</p>enMon, 14 Dec 2015 15:40:36 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1592/getprocesselement-not-found-when-migrating-to-ivy-6/1593<p>This is internal API which was never meant to be used by project implementors, thats why nothing is mentioned in the migration notes.</p> <p>If you really need the name of the process resource you can use this API.</p> <pre><code>String pid = MetaData.getProcessElementId() DiCore.getGlobalInjector().getInstance(IProcessManager.class).findProcess(pid ).getName(); </code></pre> <p><strong> of course this new API is internal as well. the API can change in the future! </strong></p>Reguel WermelingerMon, 14 Dec 2015 15:40:36 -0500https://answers.axonivy.com/questions/1592/getprocesselement-not-found-when-migrating-to-ivy-6/1593
