Hi,
I am trying to access the items in Innovator from my custom application, I am getting 'Request time out' error.
My actual requirement is to upload and download files into vault. This has to be done from an external application.
When I looked into IIS log for the InnovatorSolutions website I found HTTP 405 error.
Please let me know where I have gone wrong? Is it not possible to access the Innovator objects from external applications?
This is what I did:
I created a windows application in VS2005/C# and included IOM.dll file to the references of my application.
Included namespaces "IOM" and IOME" to my project.
Following is the code block which I tried
private void Execute()
{
IOM.HTTPServerConnection conn = new HTTPServerConnection();
conn.http_username = "admin";
conn.http_password = "innovator";
conn.http_database = "InnovatorSolutions";
conn.innovator_server_url = @"MyMachine:8880/InnovatorServer";
conn.vault_server_url = @"MyMachine:8880/.../";
try
{
Innovator obj = new Innovator(conn);
Item item = obj.getItemByKeyedName("File", "file.jpg");
LogMessage(item.getID());
return;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
LogMessage(ex.Message);
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
}
Thanks in advance
Toms

Hello Toms,Innovator Server and Innovator Vault URLs must be full specified.
For example "">MyMachine:8880/.../InnovatorServer.aspx" and "">MyMachine:8880/.../VaultServer.aspx".
405 HTTP error means "Directory listing is denied".
Also as far as I remember password must be MD5 encoded. Not just plain "innovator".
Hope this helps.

Hello tomsedison,
Yes, It is possible to access Innovator objects from external applications.
Try creating HttpServerConnection using following code:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
HttpServerConnection conn = IomFactory.CreateHttpServerConnection(url, database, username, password);
Item login_result = conn.Login();
if (login_result.isError())
{
throw new Exception("Login failed");
}
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
value of url must be "MyMachine/.../InnovatorServer.aspx";
To Upload a file in ARAS use:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Innovator inn=new Innovator(conn);
Item New_File = inn.newItem("File", "add");
New_File.setProperty("filename", <name of file>);
New_File.setProperty("checkedout_path", "C:\");
try {
New_File.attachPhysicalFile(path); //path will be actual physical path containing file name with extension.
}
catch (Exception e) {
return "file_error: " + path;
}
Item res = New_File.apply();
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
To Download a file Use:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Item file1 = inn.newItem("File", "get");
file1.setProperty("id", file_id1);
Item res1 = file1.apply();
Item File = res1.getItemByIndex(0);
File.checkout("C:\");
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
File will get downloaded to C:
Cheers,
Prasad

I believe only vault URL must be fully specified; Innovator Server URL that is specified for logging in could be either partial (e.g. MyMachine:8880/InnovatorServer) or full (e.g. MyMachine:8880/.../InnovatorServer.aspx) - in case partial URL is specified the "Server/InnovatorServer.aspx" is appended automatically. Password also could be either plain text (in which case it's MD5 encoded before passing to the server) or MD5 value (in which case it's passed as-is).
