The GetBottleneckEnts() method returns a DataSet that contains all of the entities of the specified production line whose performance count is to be used for the line's performance calculations based on currently running work orders and line configuration.

Syntax

'Declaration
 
Public Shared Function GetBottleneckEnts( _
   ByVal lineId As Integer _
) As DataSet

'Usage
 
Dim lineId As Integer
Dim value As DataSet
 
value = Line.GetBottleneckEnts(lineId)

public static DataSet GetBottleneckEnts( 
   int lineId
)

Parameters

lineId: Required. The ID of the production line whose bottleneck entities are to be returned.

Return Value

Returns a DataSet that contains a DataRow for each entity that makes up the bottleneck of the production line. If no matching records are found, an empty DataSet is returned.

The columns of the returned DataSet are described below.

Column Name	Description
ent_id	An integer that is the ID of the entity.
ent_name	A string that is the name of the entity.
slowest_performance_rate	A floating point value that represents the slowest performance rate on the line.
reas_cd	An integer that is the ID of the utilization reason associated with the bottleneck entity or entities that is the most recent and highest priority.
reas_desc	A string that is the description of the utilization reason associated with the bottleneck entity or entities that is the most recent and highest priority.
state_cd	An integer that is the ID of the utilization state associated with the most recent and highest priority reason deduced from the bottleneck entity or entities.
state_desc	A string that is the description of the utilization state associated with the most recent and highest priority reason deduced from the bottleneck entity or entities.
color	An integer that identifies the display color configured for the utilization state associated with the most recent and highest priority reason deduced from the bottleneck entity or entities.
warning	A string that identifies the warning message shown in the client when the bottleneck rate cannot be calculated.
