How can I find orphaned files in the Vault?

Hi, I want to track the amount of Files that are not related to a Document or Change Processes anymore. I noticed that these unrelated files are somehow assigned to the SystemFileContainer Orphaned...

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

      Hi Mithun,

      This is a separate question from the one Angela originally asked. Could you create a new forum post to ask this? It'll help increase visibility to the whole community, so you can get an answer faster.

      Additionally, could you elaborate on what you mean by an "orphaned Part" when you create that new post? Do you mean a Part hat is not classified as an Assembly and is also not related to any other Parts?

        Yes you got that right Chris.

        I will be opening a new forum post for the same.

        Thanks
