The Aras.IOM namespace contains classes that allow connecting to a specified Innovator server and
interact with it sending to it AML requests and getting back AML responses. Main classes of the namespace
are Innovator and Item. An instance of the class Innovator can be thought of as a channel
to an Innovator server and contains method for logging\logout with the server, creating instances of class Item,
sending raw AMLs to the server plus some convenience methods. Class Item implements a generic Innovator's item
that can represent either a request or a response to\from Innovator server.
The namespace is implemented in IOM.dll. There are two versions of the library: for usage from .NET and for usage from COM. Most of namespace's classes provides identical interface for .NET and COM applications except few methods in which cases the differences are explicitly mentioned in comments of the corresponding class method. The major difference between .NET and COM versions of the IOM.dll is dictated by difference in Microsoft implementation of core xml classes for .NET and COM (e.g. XmlDocument in .NET and MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument40Class for COM). As the result, a .NET application that uses the namespace and linked with the .NET version of IOM.dll should expect that, let's say, property Item.dom has type XmlDocument; similar COM application must reference the COM version of IOM.dll and should expect that property Item.dom has type MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument40Class.

Classes
Class | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | HttpServerConnection |
Implementation of IServerConnection over HTTP.
|
![]() | I18NSessionContext |
The class represents an internationalization context of a client session. Every client of any type (e.g. standard Innovator client;
standalone .NET client; etc.) has an instance of the class associated with each of its sessions. The context defines what
locale, time zone, etc. are used by the session; this affects what kind of data is returned from the server and how the locale
sensitive data (date, float, etc.) is formatted. The class also provides methods for converting from a locale specific formats
of the session to neutral formats that are used in AML for sending\receiving data to\from Innovator server. In order to correctly
build or interpret an AML it's important to remember the following:
|
![]() | Innovator |
The Innovator class provides methods for connecting to
Aras Innovator Server and for performing miscellaneous mostly non-Item related operations.
|
![]() | IomFactory |
Provides method to create Innovator instances.
|
![]() | Item | |
![]() | ServerConnectionBase |
Base class for standard IServerConnection implementations.
|
![]() | WinAuthHttpServerConnection |
The class extends the HttpServerConnection class allowing to connect to Innovator server that is configured
to use Windows authentication instead of Innovator's database authentication.
