Really inconvenient misalignment between QD results and IOM standards
(from Aras blog post re: using QD from method....) Parse the Result (of executing a QD from method): When you get the response back from the server, you can parse the results into any format you need. The resulting XML looks a bit like your typical AML data structure. However, it has some important differences to consider: The Item tag uses an "alias" attribute instead of "type". Why? How can this be overridden to comply with the rest of the IOM? The "alias" attribute may or may not match an ItemType name. You can explicitly set the alias in the Query Builder GUI. The Item tag does not include the typical "id", "typeId", or "keyed_name" attributes. Why? How can this be overridden to comply with the rest of the IOM? Item properties contain the id of the referenced item. Related items appear in the "Relationships" tag on the relationship item - not in the "related_item" tag. Why? How can this be overridden to comply with the rest of the IOM?
IOM TypeInitializationException error with Login
I have been trying to use IOM on 11SP9 but I'm unable to get this code working... // url = "">myserver/InnovatorServer"; url = "">myserver/.../InnovatorServer.aspx"; var myConnection = IomFactory.CreateHttpServerConnection(url, db, user, password); var objItemRes = myConnection.Login(); if (objItemRes.isError()) { MessageBox.Show("Login error " + objItemRes.dom.InnerText); } It gives this error: 999 HTTP Error HttpServerConnection System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Aras.Net.WindowsAuthenticationHelper' threw an exception. My project is build on .NET 4.5.2 and I have referenced IOM.dll Version 11.0.0.6549 (1/19/2017) What can be wrong?
IOM Factory (VBA)
I want to update part bom quantity based on the data in Excel I registered the IOM.tdl in the VBA tool and wrote the following VBA code (based on the manual): Dim f As New IomFactory 'must use the New keyword Dim innov As Innovator 'Establish User Credentials URL = "">localhost/.../InnovatorServer.aspx" db = "API12" user = "admin" pw = "innovator" Dim conn As HttpServerConnection Set conn = f.CreateHttpServerConnection(URL, db, user, pw) ' create a connection Dim result As Item Set result = conn.Login If result.IsError Then MsgBox result.getErrorString Exit Sub End If However, I am encountering an error stating that CreateHttpServerConnection is not registered. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? * P.S. I also tried OData to try to get the part bom data, but the http result is 'no data found'
How to use getid() method to get id?
In the system the "Id", and "config-id" are the item name. For Document item, the id is the document name(screenshot below). I need the id property, the one that is unique, to be added to the properties of Document item. I have this method but it doesn't work: Item myItem = this.newItem("Document"); myItem.setID(this.getID()); Item results = myItem.apply(); Error is "Error Number: CS0161, 'ItemMethod.methodCode()': not all code paths return a value" Also, once I have this method working what are the next steps. I guess I will have to add this method to the Server Events, event onBeforeGet, correct? Any help is appriciated. Thanks!
