Aras Method Development and Visual Studio

February 20, 2015, 9:36 am
$

Developing non-trivial server method code in the Aras Innovator client is painful.  For quite some time, the idea of building some sort of integration between Aras and Visual Studio to make method development easier has been discussed, but no work has been done to make this a reality.  It is my goal to start a conversation regarding how we should move forward on these ideas so they may become a reality.  Questions which I believe need to be answered include:

 

  • What should server method development look like at companies who only wish to tweak Aras in a few basic ways?  How about at companies like mine which have 660+ custom methods totaling tens of thousands of lines of code?
  • Does extra tooling need to be developed to integrate Aras with source control systems, IDEs, or something else?
  • If IDE integrations are desired, which ones (e.g. Visual Studio or SharpDevelop) should be supported?  Which versions?  How do updates get made when multiple versions will likely need to be supported simultaneously?  How do we ensure new IDE versions are supported in a timely manner?

 

To start the conversation, I have documented the history of server method development at my company at https://amlstudio.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Aras%20Method%20Development%20with%20Visual%20Studio.  Please take a gander and let us know how your approaches are similar to or different from the various approaches we have tried along with your thoughts to the question above.

How to prevent untrusted clients from accessing Aras Innovator?

January 21, 2015, 1:23 am
$
0
0

Any enabled Innovator user, can write an application using the IOM.dll and then export all Items for which he has "get" access, and nobody will notice.

This is a threat to the system performance, uptime and most of all a data security risk.    

To prevent this, perhaps Aras needs to create a way to only let "trusted applications" log in to Aras.

A mechanism so external programs must be registered and authorized

Showing relationships in a Grid control on the Form in Innovator 10 or 11

Hello Community,

In the programmers' guide (section 7.20), there are guidelines (and an example) on how to show relationships in a grid control on a form using an HTML field.

 

7.20 Show relationships in a Grid control on the Form 

You want to show the relationships for the context Item in a Grid control on the Item Form. 

Technique 

 

Add an HTML Field (positioned at Point(300,10) in the code sample below) and insert an HTML code than defines the <object>tag to hold the dynamically populated grid and the JavaScript to get the populating grid relationships. 

 

I have 2 questions:

  • Has anybody succeeded in showing such a grid with Innovator 10?
  • In Innovator 11, the TreeTable DLL is gone (not anymore in the cbin folder). What is replacing the GridContainer functionality which is mentioned in the programmers' guide?

Than you for your help.

File Check In and Check Out Missing in 11?

Unless I am missing something, I am unable to figure out how to enable File Checking In and Checking Out in ARAS 11.0 .  It does not appear as a right-click option anymore, nor can I find it on the new file management pop-up window (when you click on the blue paper icon).  

Has this been omitted from this release?  I know file management has been redesigned in this release, but I can't imagine that the ability to check out, and check back in files has been completely removed.  

Thanks for the help.

Hello,

In Innovator 11, I have created a JS client method which is associated to a client event (OnAfterUpdate) of an item type.

When I save the item, I got the following error message "The method type (javascript) specified is not supported" and the method is not executed.

Any idea?

Internet Explorer Crashes

Our company is running Aras 9.4. User base has mixed IE clients running versions 8, 9, and 10. We do not use Active Directory.

Our users report frequesnt IE crashes. The common error message is:

Aras Innovator client has failed to initialize.
Some required controls('Utils.dll', 'Converter.dll', 'UpdateIntercommunicationLayer.dll', 'Vault.dll') were not loaded. Reinstalling application may solve this problem.
Obviously this is very frustrating to the user as they lose all unsaved work and must login again.
Has anyone resolved this issue?

Is there a upgrade/migration path to upgrade from Aras PLM 9.3 to 11.0? We find 9.3 very limiting and unfriendly because of the IE requirement.

URL in Federated property in list view.

Hi,

How would I get a clickable URL into the displayed value of a federated property in list view?

xI think this helps, but it does css rather than html.

http://www.aras.com/Community/forums/t/1730.aspx

I want to display a link to the first related item from the relationships tab of  a given related item, as mostly there is only ever one related item. E.g. The parent item is CAD and the related item is through CAD Structure, so is also CAD.

BTW: This is to reduce the number of clicks when searching for an item, as our mech eng is finding current methods consume too much of his time.

Hi all,

by default, Innovator opens an item in a new pop-up window.

In certain cases, I would like to open the item in the same window where the navigation started. Is there a way to do this?

It would be great too if we could open an item in a new tab in a browser.

Renaming a vault file

April 7, 2015, 4:12 am

There are files in our vault which now have an inconsistent file name. Rather than re-loading all the files again, it makes sense to rename them.

When I try to rename the file in a File record, with version=0, the actual file in the vault is not renamed.

I've found other posts that indicate I should use

Item result= inn.newResult("OK");

CCO.ExportImport.AddFileToRename(newitm.getID(),new_file_name,result.dom);

I've tried this with no joy (I get no errors either, so it's doing something)

I can't find any documentation on CCO or mention of the ExportImport or AddFileToRename in any documentation. What am I missing?

Is there a proper example of using AddFileToRename?

Is there another way?
