Hi community, Does anyone of you use the 'Federation ItemType Sample v3-1'? It´s a sample project that can be used to access external SQL database data via federation more easily. It basically contains a configuring ItemType that helps to setup the SQL connection faster, so you don´t have to code anything. As far as I know it´s only available for subscribers, but I think also free-users that don´t use this project can benefit from this discussion. The basic concepts of federation are always the same. I really like the project, cause it´s well designed and works fast and reliable. The project is a excellent foundation for federation. But form my POV there are still a lot of useful features missing (or simply weren´t implemented yet). I am looking for people who also use the project and have some experience with it. Maybe you even have enhanced the feature and want to exchange your ideas? I have done a couple of customization and would be happy to exchange them with other users! Enhancement that I have done myself: Keyed_name support for federated items (by default they just can show the id). Very useful, also my implementation is a bit of a dirty hack. So I am looking for way to solve this one a more professional way. Changed existing search mode to support wildcard search in item keyed_name (it´s an extension to the keyed_name support above) Support for integer search modes like >, <, <=, >= . By default you just can search for 'eq' and 'like' values. Support for maxResults, pageSize in the grid . This way users get better feedback when you have restricted the number of returned results Bug fix that prevents MPP to crash when you use a federated relationship in ItemType 'Part'. Bug fix to prevent item Preview crash when you use a federated relationship Enhancement or knowledge that I am looking for: Support for 'sort accross pages' Date Range search mode Enhancement regarding security, e.g. add some kind of permission system. The current Aras project seems to contain a lot of fields and functions that are just placeholders for future features. Or maybe I just don´t know how to use them? Ideas for enhancements or alternative concepts to do this kind of federation Of course also general feedback is helpful: Do you use the feature? If yes, how? Just for simply display of external data, or do you mix-n-merge? What is your experience regarding federation? Maybe you also know some bugs that occur in certain scenarios that I haven´t noticed so far? If you don´t use the project cause you´re not a subscriber you are also invited to join the discussion! If you are familiar with federation, you maybe also know some way to improve the display and work with external data. I assume similar pitfalls as in the project occur when you write your federation code by yourself. So most of the questions and enhancements should also be relevant for users who use a different concept Would be happy to connect and hear your experience! Every input welcomed! Many thanks already! AngelaTech Docs - 'Zoom'
We have some users who want larger text in their Tech Docs, so I'm looking for a way to dynamically apply CSS rules on a button. When I go into the developer console, use the element selector to pick the editor pane and then run the following, it's doing what I want (in this case setting the editorContentNode to 150% width. [embed:dc8ab71f-3b98-42d9-b0f6-e21e02a0f8e2:e5e35de4-1871-4c0d-b24f-cb65c9f8189f:type=text&text=const%20nodes%20%3D%20document.querySelectorAll%28%27.editorContentNode%27%29%3B%0D%0Anodes.forEach%28node%20%3D%3E%20%7B%0D%0A%20%20node.style.width%20%3D%20%27150%25%27%3B%0D%0A%7D%29%3B] But, if I apply that in a button either in the tdf editor toolbar or on the itemview toolbar, it does nothing. I'm assuming this is based on the structure of the DOM inside Aras. Any tips or tricks on sorting out how in the heck to select this? I'd prefer it from the tdf editor toolbar to keep all the tools in one spot. Thanks in advance!How to populate 'this' properties?
Hello, Server event's context of 'this' is barren, in example it has only the Item header and no properties nested inside, therefore only getID() and getType() are the only functions that work. How do I elegantly populate 'this' object? The remarks of fetchDefaultPropertyValues() reads as what would update only properties that have a default value, so I have rejected trying that. I would feel strange doing this.setAttribute('action', 'get') this = this.apply(); Does that work? Best Regards, Frank0likes1CommentUI doesn't load for one user - anyone had a similar problem?
On our test server, on one particular database, one particular user doesn't get an UI when logging in. I've tried digging into the frontend calls, and it seems it's this call: https://{our test server}/Server/MetaData.asmx/GetConfigurableUi?accept=json&database={one particular db}&date=2025-05-02T13%3A01%3A58.94&item_classification=%25all_grouped_by_classification%25&item_type_id=&lang=en&location_name=TOC&user={me} which fails, with a "not a single item" fault. I am in fact logged in, and can e.g. go see the session information on the user button. Deleting all client side caches or logging in with incognito mode makes no difference. Have anyone else experienced this?DBList request failed: Request uri: 'http://localhost/InnovatorServer/Server/DBList.aspx', Status code: '404', Reason: 'Not Found'.
When I install innovator, open localhost/innovatorserver, I can jump to the login page, but it shows that the DBList.aspx file cannot be found. I looked for this file locally and could not find it.When I install innovator, open localhost/innovatorserver, I can jump to the login page, but it shows that the DBList.aspx file cannot be found.

As in this above screenshot, this occurs after I run aras.setItemProperty() for a value that exists in the form. Afterwards, it becomes as such. What attribute can I reset to have it not be like this any more? Clicking the refresh button works as a solution, does anyone know a way to invoke that?Solved0likes3CommentsUsing Aras to Manage Aras Upgrade Planning, Test Plans, Test Records
I'm in the process to upgrade Aras, and I'm looking at the topic of Test cases and records. There seems to be some decent documentation about how to do this, it seems to be leaning on some external tool for this (looked around but things like TestRail is expensive... It appears to me to be a good use case for Aras to build in. ) Has anybody implemented an Aras Upgrade Planning / Testing Configuration? Any suggestions or potential pitfalls you see with this? Seems like if the structure was somewhat standardized, we could build a library of tests to share as a community, like this post suggestedBatch Loader Download Location / Source Code
Where do I download the files for the batch loader? In the past I ran it from the server itself but I don't have access to the server right now. Can I just download the files and run it from my computer? I can't seem to find any information, everything seems to assume you already have access to the application. I'd also be interested in taking a look at the source code, if it is open sourceSolved
