Primavera API create udfcode local mode - api

Question

Knows someone where I can find a sample of adding primavera UDF through API?
My code is below but nothing happens when I run it.
I can connect to the database, read the UDF, delete the udf, but not to create
Thank you

Answer 1

A UDF Field in P6 is in fact 3 Types of Tables/Classes.
UdfType - is the type of UDF (Name, Datatype etc...)
UdfValue - this is the actual value u want to set i guess ?
UdfCodes - Thats UserDefined Codes so its a bit complex and is in fact a Code and no Field!
So if u want a simple UDF, just create a UdfType, this is part of the globaldata and must exists befor u add values. You can also add it over the client/web and fill it with values later.
Next try to insert some UdfValues on Activities. Thats the way i go every time ;)

Use the following template code to connect to the DB . Make sure you change bootstrap,username password values before using it.

Your code should follow to create the UDF's. If you still face issues. Please post the error you are getting
