Saving to existing Document Item w/ Office Connector

remco.van.oosterhout — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 05:02:15 GMT

Hi there, At the moment I'm looking into the Office Connector with the goal to implement it for our business. Currently I'm only managing to save files to ARAS as new Document items. I.e. I have a .docx file appended to Document item Doc-001, open it in Word using the "Open in Office" action, edit it and then use the "Save and close" button in the ARAS ribbon in Word to save my changes to the file and upload it back to ARAS. Rather than create a new generation for my Document item and replace the old file relation with a relation to the updated file ARAS simply creates a new Document item (say Doc-002). This clutters up the maingrid with a number of versions of the same file. Edit a file 10 times and Doc-001 to Doc-010 are different versions of the same file. Work on multiple files and Doc-001 to Doc-999 are numerous versions of numerous files without much of a pattern to it. Am I just configuring things wrongly here and is there a way to force the desired behavior or will I have to write custom methods to take care of all of this? Kindest regards, Remco van Oosterhout

Attribute suppression with multiple parameters

remco.van.oosterhout — Tue, 24 Mar 2020 06:55:36 GMT

Hi, I'm looking to add a suppression to my ItemAnalysis.Suppressions xml file using 2 parameters in the same attribute suppression. How do I go about this/is this even possible? Currently we're on Aras 11SP12.

We're looking at the following case. We want to enable appointing assignees in a workflow using the batchloader. To do so I need to use the following AML:

So to find the right activity I need the name of that activity (or at least what a user recognizes as such) and the itemnumber of the document the activity assignment ultimately relates to. In order to fit this in the format required by the ItemAnalysis.Suppressions I'd have to supply 2 separate parameters but I don't think this is supported.

How can I get this to work, with the knowledge that we're looking to migrate to Aras 12 and therefor adding <operating_parameter key="parse_item" value="false"/> to InnovatorServerConfig.xml won't be a longterm solution?

How to highlight a relationship tab

remco.van.oosterhout — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 07:42:48 GMT

Hi there,

I'm looking to highlight certain relationship tabs (say the Documents tab under a Part item). Now I've found controls to edit the CSS of various fields of the Part form, but I haven't been able to figure out how I can for instance change the background colour of the Documents tab label (in order to pull a users attention towards it, for instance).

Is it at all possible to dynamically change the look of that particular piece of the form (by firing a method on the onLoad and/or onFormPopulate events for instance), or are those controls entirely inaccessible?

Kindest regards,

Office 365 Aras Workflow Approval compatibility

remco.van.oosterhout — Thu, 06 Dec 2018 08:18:42 GMT

Hi there, I'm looking to implement the Aras Workflow Approval add-on in our Office 365 Outlook environment. The add-on states it's compatible with Outlook 2013 SP1+, so does that mean it'll be compatible with Office 365 as well? Currently I'm having trouble installing it, which is either due to compatibility issues or company policies and I'm trying to figure out which of the two it is.

Firing action from tree grid views

remco.van.oosterhout — Thu, 13 Sep 2018 06:25:04 GMT

So the Office Connector now is up and running and I've modified the code for the Open in Office action to also function from relationship items. Some time ago I also implemented a tree grid view that allows the user to navigate to documents through a system breakdown structure via the main grid. Seeing as it'd be a nice timesaver if users didn't have to open the document item before being able to use the Open in Office action, how would I have to go about adding that action to the tree grid view? I'll either have to be able to retrieve a relationship item that has a Document item as its related ID or to retrieve the ID of the Document displayed on the row the user rightclicks on.

Copying and appending physical files

remco.van.oosterhout — Thu, 23 Aug 2018 02:10:51 GMT

Another day, another challenge. I'm still working on our Office Connector integration and one of the features I want to present to my user community is the ability to use templates when creating new Document items. In order to do this a user can set the "from_template" property, after which I want to copy the physical file appended to that particular Document item and append it to the new Document item so the user won't have to do so manually. This saves our users a lot of work as new Document items often are created in bulk with the batchloader, literally by the hundreds. Instead of having to upload a file for each and every individual Document item this'll be all done programmatically so our engineers etc. can get straight to work on the various documents. Unfortunately however I can't seem to figure out how to copy the physical file on the server. Creating a File and relationship item is easy enough, but how do I copy the physical file the original File item points to?

Tree view in main grid

remco.van.oosterhout — Fri, 04 May 2018 04:00:26 GMT

Hi there, I'm currently fumbling around with SP12 and am trying to get a tree grid view to display on the main grid instead of a relationship grid. For instance, I'd want to display all my Part BOMs in the main grid to allow users to manually browse through them. A next step would be to show both Part BOMs and Part Documents so users can navigate through the Part structure to find the Document item they want to work on/review etc. I manage to get the grid up and running in relationship grids using the Tree Grid View and Query builder but can't seem to get it to work in the main grid. To make things easier, our Part items have an "is_top" property to define whether or not the item is the top item in its respective Part BOM, so to gather the top elements for each Part BOM one just has to look for elements where the "is_top" property is set to 1. From there, the rest of each tree can be added.
