Sort order items of an itemtype by date (created_on property)

mouad — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 16:26:47 GMT

Hello,

Is there any way in the configuration to retreive all items of an ItemType sorted by date (created_on property) when runing search.

otherwise i have developped a server method without success:

Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();

Item Items = inn.newItem("name of the ItemType","get");

Items.setAttribute("orderBy", "[name of the ItemType].created_on desc ");

return Items.apply();

Any help please ?

Hello All,

I do a successful installation using an existing database 'X' but I encountered an error :

When i restored the database 'X' and finished the installation, i run all the sql scripts without error except the first one:

Even if I mount the user innovator_regular from Sql Server, db => security => logins => right-click innovator_regular, go to properties, assign it to the database 'X' in the User Mapping property and run again the query successfully(see pic below). The probleme still persist when tried to logged in (Invalid object name 'LOCALE'.).

NOTE: i am able to connect using the InnovatorSolutions database.

adding an item with relationship

mouad — Tue, 14 Jul 2020 14:18:21 GMT

Hello ALL,

I have an itemType (itemTypeOne) with 2 properties (propertyOne and propertyTwo) and one relationship that has 2 properties :
relationPropertyOne (datasource =itemTypeTwo) and relationPropertyTwo (datasource =stringValue)

What i want to do is create an item of itemTypeOne with relationship.

below is the code that i have developped without success :

const string url = "url of the instance";
const string db = "db-name";
const string user = "userName";
const string password = "password";
var httpServerConnection = IomFactory.CreateHttpServerConnection(url, db, user, password);
var loginResult = httpServerConnection.Login();

if (loginResult.isError()) return loginResult;

var remoteInnovator = IomFactory.CreateInnovator(httpServerConnection);

var relatedItem = remoteInnovator.newItem("itemTypeOne","add");

relatedItem.setProperty("propertyOne ", "value1");
relatedItem.setProperty("propertyTwo", "value2");

Item getValue= remoteInnovator.newItem("itemTypeTwo","get");
Item valeur= getValue.getPropertyItem("relationPropertyOne");

var relationship = remoteInnovator.newItem("relationshipName", "add");
relationship.setProperty("relationPropertyOne ", "stringValue");
relationship.setPropertyItem("relationPropertyOne ",valeur);
relationship.setRelatedItem(relatedItem);
relatedItem.addRelationship(relationship);
relationship.apply();

return relatedItem.apply();

NOTE: i have attached the server method in a button in the Main Window Toolbar, and it's working fine when i test adding an item without relationship.
below the error when i click in the buuton:

fill in a filtered list dynamically

mouad — Tue, 19 May 2020 14:46:04 GMT

Hello ALL,

I have two list and i want them to be filled dynamically by a method, the first is a normal list and the second is a filtered list.
I have already managed to fill in the first automatically by a client method.
The values of the first list are: A, B, C, since the second list is a filtered list which depends on the first list Then:

If the first list contains A the second filtered list will contain the value 1
If B => 2
If C => 3

below the code I used from a forum with the event onLoad:

So i want to filter the second list (1,2,3) based on the values in the firsll list (A,B,C)

Is there any way please to dynamically fill in the second filtered list ?

Fill a field when the item is locked

mouad — Thu, 07 May 2020 15:28:10 GMT

Hello ALL,

Is there any way please to fill a field and save the item when it is locked.

I have tried the code below (client method with the event onFormPopulated) without success as the item is saved but keeps the field empty :

var lock = document.thisItem.getProperty("locked_by_id", "");

if (lock =='' ){

var field =getFieldByName("_champ");

field.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = false;

field.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].readOnly = false;

}
else {

var fields =getFieldByName("_champ");

fields.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = true;

}

saving an item programatically after locking it

mouad — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 13:33:54 GMT

Hello All,

I have created an itemtype "ItemOne" with Form that conyain a field "fieldTest".

What i want to do is filling the field when the ticket is locked.

I have created a form event method and assign it to the form with event onFormPopulated:

var lock = document.thisItem.getProperty("locked_by_id", "");

if (lock =='' ){

var field =getFieldByName("fieldTest");

field.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = false;
field.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].readOnly = false;

}
else {

var fields =getFieldByName("fieldTest");
fields.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].disabled = true;

}
}

The method above allow to fill the fieldTest if the item is locked (value of locked-by-id is emty) otherwise the fiield wiill be disabled.
So when the item is locked, we can fill the fieldTest but the button save is disabled and when i unlock the item and save , Aras considers that the field is not filled, saves the item and leaves the fieldTest empty.

Is there any way please on how to achieve this ?

Intro to Data Sync Services

Christopher Gillis — Thu, 13 Jun 2019 19:30:00 GMT

Starting in 11.0 SP12, Aras has been rolling out a number of platform services that can be used to power custom applications and features such as Variant Management, Effectivity, and most recently Data Synchronization. You can follow these links to find a sample application available on the Aras Labs GitHub to demonstrate what the apps that use these services may look like. In this blog post, we'll be offering an introductory look into the Data Synchronization services which are intended to make getting data from one Aras Innovator instance to another Aras Innovator instance as seamless as possible.

Data Sync API

Each of the platform services provide APIs for implementing custom applications on the Aras Innovator platform. For Data Sync, these APIs correspond to existing standard Aras AML actions with a few key differences. The goal of data synchronization is to have the data in your target system correspond as closely as possible to the original source data. With that in mind, these data sync actions allow for the setting of system properties like created_by_id and created_on which aren't typically able to be set outside of direct SQL manipulation. You can see each of these actions below as well as a highlight of the differences between them and their standard counterparts.

dss_syncAdd

This action does not generate a new ID for the item. Instead, you must pass in the id, generation, and config_id in order to use this action.
This action will not initialize the item at the starting Life Cycle State. You must provide the state (if any) of the item when using this action.
This action has its own custom server events to handle sync-specific functionality you may want to run. You will need to use the new onBefore/onAfterSyncAdd server events instead of the standard onBefore/onAfterAdd server events.

dss_syncUpdate

This action will not version automatically versionable items. Any versioning logic should be handled in the source system and passed in through the generation and major_rev properties when using this action.
This action also has its own custom server events: onBefore/onAfterSyncUpdate

dss_syncPurge

This action is the one most similar to its corresponding action. In 11.0 SP15, there are not custom server events linked to this action.

Data Sync Sample App

Now that you have an idea of what's happening in the background to power this synchronization, we'll go over some common use cases and how to achieve them using the Data Sync Services.

Prerequisites

This blog assumes some knowledge of the Data Sync Sample App. If you're unfamiliar with this application, we'd recommend checking out the guide included in the sample app which goes over both how to install it as well as the basics of setting up your system for synchronization.

Automatic Syncing

If you're looking to sync data between two systems, you'll know that the data can change quite a bit over the course of a day. Having your users manually sync after each change can be both an annoyance and an unnecessary burden on your system to process these changes. Instead, it may be a better idea to simply schedule a sync to happen at the end of every work day to push all of the changes made during that day in one go. Because the synchronization is launched from a method, you can take advantage of the Aras Scheduler Service to automate the process of running this method periodically.

The blog post linked to above offers a nice overview of the scheduler service as a whole if you are unfamiliar with it, and there's also a handy walkthrough included with the sample app for setting up the scheduler service to specifically handle synchronization.

Automatically Flagging an Item to be Synced

When using the sample app, you'll need to individually add each Part you want to sync to the Sync Root in order to indicate to the source system that it should be synced to the destination system. This process can be automated by writing a simple method to create a relationship between your Sync Root and the item you want to sync. If you're familiar with using AML to add items, you can check out these tips on how to convert the AML to add this relationship to a server-side method. Once this Method is created, you can add it to whatever event fits your needs. As an example, you can add a server method to a Life Cycle Transition to flag your Parts to be synced whenever they enter the Released state.

Bidirectional Syncing

Currently, the sample app is only recommended to be used for unidirectional syncing from a source database to a destination database. The limitation comes from syncing the same ItemType back and forth between two systems; however, it is possible to set up a unidirectional sync from the source system to the destination system for one ItemType and another unidirectional sync from the destination system to the source system for another ItemType. Using this method, it's possible to achieve similar results to a bidirectional sync with some additional processing.

A project I've worked on previously required this kind of two-way sync. Parts created in the source system needed to be approved in the destination system before they could continue being worked on. To handle this we created two new ItemTypes to exist in both systems: Destination Parts and Destination Sync Roots. The flow of this two-way sync can be seen below.

A Part in the source system reaches a specific activity in its Workflow
1. The Part is automatically added to the Sync Root using a server method as described in the previous use case
The Part is synchronized to the destination system
An onAfterSyncAdd server event creates a corresponding Destination Part
Users in the destination system complete the workflow of the Destination Part to approve the changes
1. The Destination Part is automatically added to the Destination Sync Root using a server method
The Destination Part is synced back to the source system
An onAfterSyncAdd server event completes a vote on the original Part's workflow

webservice consumption

mouad — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 11:19:24 GMT

Hello All,

I have a question please regarding the consumption of a webservice

the goal is to create an item with 2 properties in the instance B (http://machineB/InnovatorTwo/Client) from another instance A (http://machineA/InnovatorOne/Client)

When i try to add an item with "POST" it doesn't work. (see screnshoot below)

Below is the server method that i have used in the instance InnovatorOne that is installed in machineA to add an item :

const string url = "http://machineB/InnovatorTwo/Client";
const string db = "databaseOne";
const string user = "admin";
const string password = "pswd";
var httpServerConnection = IomFactory.CreateHttpServerConnection(url, db, user, password);

var loginResult = httpServerConnection.Login();

if (loginResult.isError()) return loginResult;

var remoteInnovator = IomFactory.CreateInnovator(httpServerConnection);

var remoteParts = remoteInnovator.newItem("NameOfTheItem", "add");

remoteParts.setProperty("propertyOne", "valueOne");
remoteParts.setProperty("propertyTwo", "valueTwo");

return remoteParts.apply();

NOTE: the error appears when i run the method from Actions > run server method

{
document.getElementById("ITEM_INFO_INTERNAL_SPAN").innerHTML = top.aras.uiDrawItemInfoTable(document.itemType);
top.aras.uiPopulateInfoTableWithItem(document.item, document);
style_ITEM_INFO_INTERNAL_SPAN();
}
style_ITEM_INFO_INTERNAL_SPAN = function()
{

var lg_icn = document.getElementById("large_icon_img");
lg_icn.style = '';
var tbl = document.getElementById("itemInfoTable");
tbl.style.marginTop = "45px";

var container = document.getElementById("ITEM_INFO_INTERNAL_SPAN");
