Multiple sessions created for trivial actions like "edit". What can be the reason?

AngelaIp — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 13:34:57 GMT

Hi community,

would be great if somebody could help me with following issue with Innovator 12SP7!

I noticed that one of my users appears with many sessions in the [application].[ACTIVEUSER] table in the database. The same user also complains that Innovator is very slow in certain scenarios. For example changing the "Make/Buy" drop-down in the Part Form can last up to 5 seconds. Opening a custom Impact Matrix with a few hundred Affected Items can take several minutes (typical would be 3-5 seconds).

I am right now confused why this specific user appears with an excess amount of sessions in the list. Typically people are only listed with a few sessions. I wonder if the amount of listed sessions and the users´ performance problems are somehow related?

The table looks like this:

Red is always the same user. Green is somebody else.

I did some tests with the user. One new connection is created when he starts Innovator. Regular searching does not create any new session. But a new session appear as soon as he opens a Parts and clicks the "Edit" button!

For each "Edit" click a new session was created! But only for this specific user. If I do administration stuff in Innovator (editing ItemTypes, Method, etc.) no additional sessions are created. I hardly appear in the session list at all.

Side notes:

- No browser extensions used. Session cookies are not blocked or removed
- We tested Firefox and Edge
- Other users only have one or a small amount of sessions
- New connections appear for file operations (thumbnails and regular file upload). But these sound legit.

Does anyone has an idea what can cause this behavior? Is this normal?

Thanks for any help!

Use Src Access on regular item type?

Frank Guarino — Mon, 19 May 2025 16:31:27 GMT

Hello Forums,

I have a regular item type that is parent to some other regular item types.

I.e. we have Item A that has a relationship to Item AB, and Item AB has a relationship to BB.

A, AB, and BB are all regular items.

I want A's permissions to cascade onto anything below, but it seems that 'Use Src Access' only goes as far as A to Ab (the relationship item), as opposed to also placing A's permissions onto AB.

Can 'Use Src Access' reach AB and BB?

Best Regards,

Method event version type "Version 2" - where do we find more samples and guidelines?

AngelaIp — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 14:47:52 GMT

Hi community,

does anyone of know how to use the "Version 2" type for ItemType Server Methods?

Let´s assume we use an onAfterAdd/Update event in the Part BOM ItemType. With Event Version 1 the event is fired for each single row.
Which version 2 it would be executed on the complete item group.

From my POV version 2 is useful to improve performance for certain tasks. But there is not much information out there that describe how to use this version type.

The context item in version 2 is empty by default. So "this" simply contains nothing when we execute a Method with "Version 2".
I assume that we have to extract the information of the affected items from the "eventData" parameter in the background.

I found some minor code samples in the code used for Effectivity and Derived Relationships. But they are to specific for being used in other contexts.

Does anyone know more about using "Version 2"? Thanks for any tip!!!

Best regards

How to work with onBeforeDelete and onAfterDelete?

Frank Guarino — Mon, 17 Mar 2025 18:06:29 GMT

Hello all,

I have a relationship item type server event of onAfterDelete that runs some post processing for respective deletion.

Only thing is, right now, even with commented out code, I am unable to successfully have the deletion go through successfully. To reiterate, after removing the row and pressing save, the row stays there faded out and is still technically there and reappears back in full color after relogging back into Aras.

Firstly, even when I remove my onAfterDelete method and use only my onBeforeDelete method that simply states "return true", the record stays faded out?

Secondly, if I can get onBeforeDelete to allow processing, how can I pass the data of onBeforeDelete to onAfterDelete - there is important data in the relationship record that cannot be fetched by the AML server within onAfterDelete, so I need a way to pass it.

Best Regards,

Frank

How to update grid values without running .apply() (I want to update it only in the frontend and not post it)

Frank Guarino — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 17:45:25 GMT

Hello,

There is a relationship grid row that I would like users to mass edit. I so far configured a method to appear in the CUI along with the functionality of having multiple rows highlighted, and can get the relationship Ids as well.

What I need next is to reference the frontend dom of the grid, get a particular column of that row, and set it to something. Is there a reliable method for that?

Best Regards,

FYI for others (Feature errors saying 'Double Authentication is not implemented' [Technical Documentation Publishing])

Frank Guarino — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 14:35:59 GMT

Aras.ConversionFramework.Exceptions.EventCallbackErrorException: See inner exception for details: ---> System.Exception ---> System.ServiceModel.FaultException: Double authentication is not implemented

The solution, in my case, was the user record's configured vault was set to one that is used for another aras server. Therefore it may have been the cause for that. After swapping them to the correct server, then it was working for them!

Any way to instantiate a C# class that is within another method or file?

Frank Guarino — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:05:49 GMT

I have written a C# class helpful for me in refactoring some processing of an older method.

This C# class could prove helpful for other modules which perform the same logic.

Is there anyway to have this class defined in a C# server method that I can instantiate whenever I want?

I know one can call a server method from a server method, but that will return AML and can do processing within it, but that would not be ideal as it would require extra work to lay out how to trigger to perform x or get y, etc. when I may only really need to do something small and then would need to make sure to return the correct AML and would become a mess if something else wants to do the same thing with a different return value in the AML, it would be unpragmatic.

So any way to instantiate a C# class? Do I need to go into the code tree or something?

Preferably I would like the class to share the lifetime of the server method which instantiates it.

Best Regards,

Frank

Adding additional AML parameters to the quick search?

Frank Guarino — Fri, 31 Jan 2025 14:02:58 GMT

Hello,

Is there a blog anywhere on finding a way to edit the default AML sent with quick search?

For instance, when typing in, I want the records retrieved to be of a certain WHERE condition all the time.

What causes the command bar buttons 'Save' and 'Done' to be greyed out?

Frank Guarino — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 16:52:09 GMT

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?

How do update item in Dom after server Method changed values of a Form dropdown

AngelaIp — Fri, 13 Dec 2019 09:50:13 GMT

Hi community,

hope somebody can help me on this one. I have a Form with a button that shall allow users to add additional values to the dropdown list. The button Client Method calls a 2nd Server Method that takes care for updating the List that is used in the dropdown. Used Innovator version is 12SP3, but I think my described scenario fits to most Innovator versions.

The List update on server side works without any problems. The List will contain the new values on database level. But I am not able to update/refresh the dropdown list in the Form. Users still see the previous content. If users want to see the new updated List, they have to delete their browser cache completely. Neither the refresh button or reopening the item will make the additional list content visible. The only way the list will be updated without deleting the browser cache is when I manually save the List item again.

How can I solve this one? I assume I will need to use aras.isDirtyEx or something similar. But I haven´t found much code samples on this one. Any ideas how to do this?

How to pass a C# list variable to another C# method?

Frank Guarino — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 14:20:57 GMT

When one calls a method, generally the AML is passed. Is there a way to pass a C# variable so I won't have to regex a string that it casts into when I pass it as I do currently in an AML tag attribute.

Such like access it some other way than AML for a C# to C# calling.

Best Regards,

Frank

.fetchRelationships() showing outdated data

Frank Guarino — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 18:47:21 GMT

Hello,

I have:

Promise () => Method => Back to Promise and perform .fetchRelatioships() of one of the items manipulated in the method.

There is still data in .fetchRelationships that should no longer be there, as Method was performing SQL deletions. I am wondering if I need to swap it to AML posts within the method, or if I am missing a way to force update AML dom.

Best Regards,

Frank

When calling a C# Method from within another C# method, does the called method finish first or are they async?

Frank Guarino — Fri, 24 Jan 2025 19:57:21 GMT

As title,

If I have a server method:

Item anItem = inn.getItemById("anItem", "1");

anItem.apply("second_method");

.... other processing

Does the "other processing" execute right away, or does it wait for anItem.apply() to finish?

Thank you,

Frank

Javascript way to tell whether an item button 'edit' has been clicked by the user (Javascript so just browser logic)?
