How do you import Excel BOM data into Aras Innovator open version?
Hello, I currently use the open, free version of Aras Innovator and am having difficulty figuring out how to store BOM data within the tool. I have seen from other posts that subscribers have access to a direct import functionality and also some kind of batch loader. For the latest free version of ARAS, what are the exact steps to import an excel file containing BOM data into Aras? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Batchloading multiple Document items - but some reference/link to others via template_file_container. Possible to batchload all documents and their dependent items in one go?
Hey all, I am developing a batchloading schema for uploading template files. Pretty straightforward, here is my AML for a simple document load: <AML> <Item type="Document" action="add"> <name>@1</name> <description>@2</description> <state>@3</state> <classification>@4</classification> <authoring_tool>@5</authoring_tool> <is_template>@9</is_template> <Relationships> <Item type="Document File" action="add"> <related_id> <Item type="File" action="add"> <actual_filename>@6</actual_filename> <filename>@7</filename> </Item> </related_id> </Item> </Relationships> </Item> </AML> However, I am trying to utilize template file containers for office connector templates. Template file container is a property on the document itemtype that lets a template document item to reference another template document item in order to reference and "use" its file. Useful if you want to have templates across multiple document classifications without adding the file individually to all those differently classified template doc items. I have about 10 templates and about 20 document classifications, so wanted to create around 200 document items (templates) but have only 10 hold the actual files, and 190 just reference the 10 via template_file_container property. A few questions: Am I able to accomplish this in one batchload procedure/one AML script? How do I write the AML for the latter document items to reference the file-holding document items? I imagine it is something like:<template_file_container></template_file_container>, but will the code require the actual item code (BFA3BE03444448F5916133D874712CF4 or something similar) or is there a way to use the name/item numbers? Or is there a way to easily find the item code of the created template-holding document items from earlier in the "batchloading process"? And if so, how would I go about writing that? What would be the most robust and simplest script I can write to accomplish my goals?
Unable to load End of Sale/ End of Support Not available fields with Boolean 1
Hello Batchloader team I am trying to load End of Sale Not available and End of Support Not available fields with Boolean 1 against unique P/Ns in the Manufacture Parts table I loaded the data correctly with txt file as shown in the preview. I think the template (which is auto-generated) is incorrect <Item type='Manufacturer Part' action='edit'> <id> <Item type='Manufacturer Part' action='get' select='id'> <keyed_name>@1</keyed_name> </Item> </id> <_end_of_sale_blank_flag>@2</_end_of_sale_blank_flag> <_end_of_support_blank_flag>@3</_end_of_support_blank_flag> </Item> What would be the solution to not get a failed result ?Suggestion: Best place to learn AML language to use correct template in batchloader

I just went through this process as part of learning Aras. Importing items from Excel using the Batch Loader is pretty straightforward if you only have simple properties that all belong directly to the Item Type. See documentation for the Batch Loader. Note that you should save the Excel file as a tab-delimited .txt file. It gets more difficult, however, when you need to import properties over relationships. In this case Costs over the Part Goal relationship and xProperties over Part_xClass. I found no documentation to help me with this, so the script below is the result of a lot of trial and error. Comments and improvements welcome" It is my first import script! Copy the text below into Notepad++ for better readability. A big difficulty was working out how to explicitly identify the xClass. I used the xClass Property "name". This used just the simple name of the "Leaf" xClass in the xClass tree. Hope it saves someone a bit of time :) (Extract to show the highlights...) <Item type='Part' action='add'> <!--Use Action='edit' when updating items--> <!--@10, etc. denotes the column in the data file and is independent of the header row contents--> <item_number>@2</item_number> <name>@4</name> <classification>@5</classification> <Relationships> <!--Part Goal is the relationship item that links to item type Goal--> <Item type="Part Goal" action="add"> <goal>@7</goal> <!--e.g. Cost--> <actual_value>@8</actual_value> <!--Further fields available, see Loader docs--> </Item> <!--Part_xClass is the relationship item from part to xClass--> <!--Note that "name" (lower case) is the easiest of several field options for identifying xClass--> <!--Format is, e.g. "Fuel Tanks" (name of leaf, spaces OK)--> <Item type="Part_xClass" action="add"> <related_id> <Item type="xClass" action="get" select="id"> <name>@10</name> </Item> </related_id> </Item> </Relationships> <!--The properties below can only be loaded once the xClass relationship has been established as above--> <xp-mass_full set="value">@14</xp-mass_full> </Item>
