    Hi Christopher, I have the same need but I can't find your sample code. Is it still up?

      Hello,

      The code has since been made into a community project which you can find on the Aras Labs GitHub here.

        Hello Chris,

        Can something similar be achieved for Parts? I mean can we pull up all Parts which are orphaned in the system. I know we can query that but it would take ages to process if we have huge database. Do you think we can have any different solution for this? Please let me know
