the variable "fcount" returns 0 despite of i am sure that i have two files(.doc and .pdf) in the DB who are in relationship with the document. for the search with "Item docItemm = inn.applyAML" i have done: Console.WriteLine(docItem); to see the result of search and i noticed that there is a mistake in the XML returned by the "docItemm ". So in the result i see: <thumbnail>vault:///?fileId=9429CCD4280644C0966893B14F45A671</thumbnail> But the vault:///?fileId=9429CCD4280644C0966893B14F45A671 should be between the symbole "" . What should i do? And thanks a lot!!

Hello, I have executed the code writen by you: Item docItem = inn.applyAML(“<AML> <Item action=’get’ type=’Document’> <item_number>{DOCUMENT_NUMBER}</item_number> <Relationships> <Item action=’get’ type=’Document File’ /> </Relationships> </Item> </AML>”); Item files = docItem.getItemsByXPath( “/Item[@type=’File’]” ); int fcount = files.getItemCount(); for( int i = 0; i < fcount; i++ ) { Item file = files.getItemByIndex( i ); Item result = file.checkout( “c:\\temp” ); if( result.isError() ) { Console.WriteLine( string.Format( “Failed to checkout file ‘{0}'”, file.getProperty( “filename” ) ) ); } } with a real document name exists in my database. But i don't have any results ( no Failed to checkout file And no files downloaded in the temp folder) Should I create the folder "temp" or he will be created automatically? thank you very much

I think your questions are implementation questions - and not related to Aras. You need to create an interface to allow users to input they search criteria. After that you need to query the db based on user input (my previous answer)and then checkout the file. Then you need to save the data from Aras to document properties, so you will be able to upload the file back to the server. Creating integration between PLM (or other DB centric systems) with Office is not an easy task for beginner. You need to create interface and be able download and upload files. Check videos of this Aras Office Integration or this Office Integration by Aras partner XPLM or this Office Integration by MinveraPLM (Aras partner)

To search document:

Item docItem = inn.applyAML("<AML> <Item action='get' type='Document'> <item_number>{DOCUMENT_NUMBER}</item_number> <Relationships> <Item action='get' type='Document File' /> </Relationships> </Item> </AML>");

to each document can be linked one or more files, so you need to loop the result and "checkout" the file

Item files = docItem.getItemsByXPath( "/Item[@type='File']" ); int fcount = files.getItemCount(); for( int i = 0; i < fcount; i++ ) { Item file = files.getItemByIndex( i ); Item result = file.checkout( "c:\\temp" ); if( result.isError() ) { Console.WriteLine( string.Format( "Failed to checkout file '{0}'", file.getProperty( "filename" ) ) ); } }

Aras Innovator Class object. You can read about Innovator object in Programmers Guide section 3.2

what does mean by loginResult.getInnovator(); the getInnovator() will return wich informations?

Following row give you connection status:

Item loginResult = innServConn.Login();

So loginResult is Aras Item... that has a function isError()... if this function return false - connection is not established. If you want to show user why it not established call function getErrorString() (of the object loginResult ) and show the result to user. About:

this.Innovator = loginResult.getInnovator();

Yes - my mistake, it was supposed to be:

inn = loginResult.getInnovator();

But probably you will do the same... the inn will be class property and not inside your connection function, cause you will need this object in the second function - where you query Aras for the document.

in" this.Innovator = loginResult.getInnovator(); " this references to inn ?? When running the program, how can i test if connection is successfully completed? thank you.

OK, To be able to connect to Aras you need to (my assumption that you using C# and Visual Studio):

add to your project reference to IOM.dll (you can find it in server\bin folder of your Innovator installation)
Then use following code
Innovator inn = null; HttpServerConnection innServConn = IomFactory.CreateHttpServerConnection({INNOVATOR URL}, {DB NAME}, {username}, {password}); Item loginResult = innServConn.Login(); if (loginResult.isError()) throw new Exception(loginResult.getErrorString()); else this.Innovator = loginResult.getInnovator();

I am learning Aras development and i am devoloping a connector for OpenOffice. I create a plugin that allows the display of a toolbar in LibreOffice wish have two commands that allow users to connect to aras Database and to search for document objects. So i should implement a command allowing users to connect to ARAS database and another allowing the search of objects of documents type.

Server side code is not open. Just to understand your needs, you wrote that you are new to Aras. So I'm wondering, are you learning Aras development (and just want to view the code to understand something) or you already trying to solved some development task? Maybe if you will ask specific question it will be much easier to help you.

First of all, thank your for your response. I want to access to IOMCredentials Class for example to know how ARAS ensure connexion to server and database and how can i extract data from database? Is the a way to access to soure code? what should i do or download? cordially.

cordially, What source code you want to access? Do you have specific needs that are not covered by Aras core code?
