  the product using CAA API.
  .
  PRE-REQUISITE:
  Use the "???TestTool.zip" file uploaded for the CAA
  Workspace.
  Copy all the files from the zip file
  named "ContextualLinks_TestCase.zip" to
  "D:\CAA_Build\R18
  \IPPII\Parts\Example_IPP\Exchange".
  .
  INTERACTIVE SCENARIO:
  01. In interactive CATIA V5 session open the
  product
  31DDDDDD00A_STARTUP_EXCHANGE.CATProduct
  02. There is a problem in the contextual link for
  part
  31CCCCCC00A_STARTUP_PIPE_EXCHANGE.CATPa
  rt
  (Refer Expected_Behaviour_1.JPG)
  03. Use the CATIA V5 interactive menu "Define
  Contextual Links"
  (Refer Expected_Behaviour_2.JPG)
  04. Change context dialog box comes up.
  Select "OK" to define the contextual link again
  (Refer Expected_Behaviour_3.JPG)
  05. The broken contextual link is corrected and
  update is required. Select the Update
  (Refer Expected_Behaviour_4.JPG)
  06. The broken contextual link is correctly fixed
  (Refer Expected_Behaviour_5.JPG)
  .
  SCENARIO:
  .
  01. Extract the data (product) to folder
  02. The above path is hard-coded inside the
  workspace. It may be changed as required.
  03. Build the attached workspace
  04. Run the build
  05. Open the product
  31DDDDDD00A_STARTUP_EXCHANGE.CATProduct
  06. Run the command "???Test" to open up the
  Dialog box.
  07. Click on the Test Button of this Dialog opened.
  NOTES:
  01. The test tool will not show anything on the
  screen.
  It runs the ChangeContext method on the part
  31CCCCCC00A_STARTUP_PIPE_EXCHANGE.CATPa
  rt
  02. Check that there are no error messages in the
  console window
  03. Check if the broken contextual link is corrected
  .
  OBSERVATION:
  01. Our observation is that the contextual link is
  not corrected by the API ChangeContext.
  02. There are no error messages in the console i.e.
  the API runs without error.
  .
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  Customer wants the same behaviour of the
  interactive CATIA V5 session.
  .
  .
  Best Regards,
  CAA Maintenance Team.

  Incident Diagnosis
  Way to clean contextual
  references from the
  product.
  .
  Correct Application
  In
  ChangeContext
  public static HRESULT ChangeContext(
  const
  CATIxPDMPartItem_var& iPartItemToChange,
  const
  CATBaseUnknown_var&
  iNewContextInstance)
  .
  The parameter
  iNewContextInstance should be an
  instance of iPartItemToChange
  in root context (not
  first level of instance).
  .
  FYI,
  Customer
  was using reference of the
  iPartItemToChange instead of
  passing instance of it.
