Dear Tivadar,
I don't know why the specific API is failing but I was able to use the
TOMI API to achieve the result you are interested in.
------
OrderItem.name() = "1";
HouseModel::House type = House.Archetype();
Udm::Object::AssociationInfo inf(NULL);
inf.strSrcRoleName = "src";
inf.strDstRoleName = "dst";
House.CreateLink(type, inf);
----
Thanks,
Adi
