Where used - show descriptions?

Former Member — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 06:01:30 GMT

Hello When I click 'where used' on a part, I see the part number and revision where it's used in each higher-level assembly. It would be super useful to see the description (name) at the same time. Is there a way to do that? Cheers! Bob

How to add reference_designator property in multilevel BOM report

cc911 — Fri, 20 Mar 2020 09:13:05 GMT

We are using Aras 12.0 in open licence.

We customized the multilevel bom report to get some additionnal properties but we cant get the reference_designator property form part bom item to show in the report.

We modified the query and the xlst report but it never shows.

Does anyone has the same issue?

Tech Tip: Dynamically Change Type-ahead

Christopher Gillis — Thu, 11 Oct 2018 02:00:00 GMT

In 11.0 SP11, type-ahead was introduced to List and Item fields to make editing forms easier and more convenient for Users. When a user types in one of these fields, a dynamic list of options will be shown based on what the user has typed in to the field. You can see this functionality in action below as we assign a Designated User to one of our Parts.

In this post, we'll cover how we can manipulate this type-ahead functionality to make work even easier for our users.

Dynamically Populate Dropdown

One common question we hear on the forums is how to dynamically populate a dropdown field.

The example below explores the use case of wanting to limit the selection of Authoring Tools on the Document Form. In this use case, we only want users to be able to pick Microsoft Office tools when creating and editing Documents. To accomplish this, we will first query for a subset of the Values on the Authoring Tools List. Once we have these values, we will construct an array of javascript objects that will represent each option we want to be available in the dropdown.

You can easily adapt this code to populate a completely empty dropdown as well.

Filter Item Field Type-Ahead

A few months ago, we put out a blog that demonstrated how to apply a filter to a search dialog. One question we received on this post was how to apply the same filter to the options in the type-ahead of the field as well. The sample code below shows precisely how to do that by overriding the call to the server that generates the options for the type-ahead.

gist.github.com/.../af631acc38dc82c045c16d7e87293a43

This sample ensures that only specific, individual Users can be assigned as the creator of a Part. If we compare the clip below to the one at the beginning of this post, we'll notice that Group Identities like Manufacturing are no longer offered.

Delgation functionality

James Marriner — Thu, 09 Jan 2020 10:22:01 GMT

Hello,

Currently when a user delegates an activity from a group identity (i.e. Iden1) everyone in that group will recieve a vote along with the person that it was delegated to. I would like to change the functionality so that when delegating and part of a group (Iden1) it does not give everyone in that group a vote, only the person that it is being voted to. Can anyone advise if this is possible? I have a method on the activity called up "On Delegate" which adds extra people in, but the standard functionality for delagtion is not overridden.

Thanks, James

SP11+ filter results on an Item field

James Marriner — Mon, 23 Jul 2018 07:09:30 GMT

We have just upgraded to SP11 and the method I used to filter results from an Item field no nolonger works due to the type ahead functionality. The method works if selecting the elipses to open up the search window, but if I just type in the box it does not run. Is there a way to limit the results shown when typing in an item field on the form in the same way the method runs? Current method: var retObj = {}; retObj.inactive_user = {filterValue: '0', isFilterFixed: true,}; return retObj;

Checkworkflow comments when voting

James Marriner — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 04:08:34 GMT

Hello, I have a requirement to check that the comments section of the workflow voting screen is filled in if following a certain path based on a certain person voting. There are multiple assignments for each activity If I use the code on the event "On Vote" then I can check the path and identity, but comments are not shown (as they have not reached the server yet I assume?). If I use the code on the event "On Close" then I can check path, identity and comments, but only if it is the last assignment of the activity. Is anyone able to provide some guidance? My code: Dim MyInn As Innovator = Me.getInnovator() Dim CtrlItem As Item = MyInn.newItem("Activity", "TRL_Get_Controlled_Item") CtrlItem.setID(Me.getID()) CtrlItem = CtrlItem.apply() Dim ActivityAsgn As Item = MyInn.newItem("Activity Assignment", "get") ActivityAsgn .setAttribute("select", "") ActivityAsgn .setProperty("source_id", Me.getID()) ActivityAsgn = ActivityAsgn .apply() Dim CurrActAs As Item = Nothing Dim wfcomments as string = "" Dim q as string = "" Dim pathtotake as string = "" Dim userID As String = MyInn.getUserAliases() For I As Integer = 0 To (ActivityAsgn .getItemCount() - 1) CurrActAs = ActivityAsgn .getItemByIndex(I) wfcomments = CurrActAs.getProperty("comments") pathtotake = Me.getProperty("Path","") q = ActivityAsgn .getItemByIndex(I).getRelatedItem().getProperty("id") If q = userID Then If pathtotake = "On Hold" Then If wfcomments = "" Then Return myInn.newError("Uh-Oh ID's dont match" + "<br/>" + q + "<br/>" + userID) Return MyInn.newError("Comments are missing from your vote") Else Return MyInn.newError("wf comments " + wfcomments) End If Else Return MyInn.newError("Not chosen an affected path") End If Else Continue For End If Next I

Issue with report creation - Method and AML

James Marriner — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 12:15:03 GMT

Hello, We currently don't have self service reporting and I am trying to create a report but have ran into an issue. I have created one as a method (to be ran though the reports drop down) and one as AML but neither work. I can't work out how to get this to display in a tabulated format, get the error "Line number 40, Error Number: CS0029, Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'Aras.IOM.Item'" on the "return html" line. The method searches through all ecr records and if they are within the last month and have a change type of defect it will display the records found. The method works if I say "return inn.newResult(result);, but cant convert into the Innovator inn = this.getInnovator(); Item ecr = inn.newItem("ECR","get"); ecr.setAttribute("select", "item_number, source, trl_product_family, state, trl_change_type, created_on, trl_sup_total_cost_of_change"); ecr = ecr.apply(); string result = ""; // Specify Dates DateTime today = DateTime.Today; DateTime month = new DateTime(today.Year, today.Month, 1); DateTime first = month.AddMonths(-1); DateTime last = month.AddDays(-1); //return inn.newResult(Environment.NewLine + first + Environment.NewLine + last +Environment.NewLine); if (ecr.isError()){ return ecr; } int totalecrswithdefects = 0; for(int i=0; i<ecr.getItemCount(); i++) { Item curr_part = ecr.getItemByIndex(i); string e = curr_part.getProperty("item_number",""); string h = curr_part.getProperty("trl_change_type",""); DateTime d = DateTime.Parse(curr_part.getProperty("created_on","")); if (d.Date>first.Date && d.Date<last.Date && h == "Defect") { totalecrswithdefects++; result = result + Environment.NewLine + e + " " + h + " " + d; } else { continue; } } var report = inn.getItemByKeyedName("Report","newlostcost"); var style = report.getProperty("xsl_stylesheet"); var html = ecr.applyStylesheet(style,"text"); return html; OR: I also cant work out how to use the "less than" operator in the below for the section "and [ecr].created_on<" I get the error:- '<', hexadecimal value is an invalid attribute character. <AML> <Item type="ECR" action="get" where="[ecr].created_on>DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, -1, getdate()) - 2, 0) and [ecr].created_on<DATEADD(ss, -1, DATEADD(month, DATEDIFF(month, 0, getdate()), 0))"</Item> </AML> Any ideas?

Products and model numbers within ARAS

Deleting or changing assignments on a workflow

James Marriner — Wed, 02 Aug 2017 11:14:59 GMT

Hello, Is it possible to change the assignments on a workflow task through a method? The code I'm using is below, but it doesn't seem to delete the assignment. The reason being is that we bounce an ECO between "draft Changes" and "Peer Review" steps. We have the draft changes set as a default person, and the peer review set as "owner". Once the task goes to and leaves peer review, and the owner of the ECO is changed to someone else, the workflow keeps the original person not the updated one. We use auto assignments which deletes assignments with a role (below code), but the "owner" assignment has no role and I cant work out how to flip it for a role. I tried "trl_role IS NOT NULL" but that didn't seem to do anything. I assume closed_on IS NULL means the task for that assignee is open, but it should close that active task when voting and create a new task everytime it goes to that step, so closed_on will always be null I don't know what the source_id = '{0}' bit means //Delete current assignments With a Role String DeleteAssignment = " SELECT ID FROM innovator.ACTIVITY_ASSIGNMENT WHERE SOURCE_ID = '{0}' AND trl_role IS NULL AND closed_on IS NULL"; this.getInnovator().applySQL(String.Format(DeleteAssignment,this.getID())); Item myDeleteRes = this.getInnovator().applySQL(String.Format(DeleteAssignment,this.getID())); for ( var icount = 0 ; icount < myDeleteRes.getItemCount() ; icount++){ Item assignment = this.newItem("Activity Assignment","delete"); assignment.setID(myDeleteRes.getItemByIndex(icount).getProperty("id")); assignment.apply() Thanks in advance

Changing property of a tick box

James Marriner — Wed, 02 Aug 2017 06:15:52 GMT

Hello, Hope someone can help me, as I am not sure what is going wrong on what is a simple thing. I have a form (PR) that has a Boolean tick box (trl_on_hold) that is set as disabled on the form (so it can be seen but not changed by the users) I am trying to create a method to tick the box when the method runs. It will run as part of a workflow task (i.e. on vote it will tick the box). I have it created as a server-side method I have tried all the below but all give me errors . I'm new to development on ARAS. Can anyone see what I have done wrong, or point me in the right direction. I know in regular c# you can change the value with onhold = !onhold. Try 1 bool holder = true; this.getProperty("trl_on_hold", ""); this.setProperty("trl_on_hold", holder); return this; Try 2 Item pr = this.newItem("PR","edit"); pr.setProperty("trl_on_hold","1"); pr = pr.apply(); return pr; Try 3 Item pr = this.newItem("PR","edit"); pr.setPropertyAttribute("trl_on_hold","is_null","1"); pr = pr.apply(); return pr; Thanks in advance

Hiding users/identities in the identity search grid

James Marriner — Thu, 20 Jul 2017 10:26:55 GMT

Hello, I wondered if there was a way to hide identities when searching for an identity in the search grids? (such as when adding to an ECO). The reason being to avoid long lists when people leave, or identities have been set up incorrectly. An example being, as we use single sign on, if lots of identities have been created, but when people go to log in there is an inconsistency and so authentication fails. If the identity was not previously assigned to a task then it can be deleted, but if it was assigned before the user logged in then it cannot be deleted or renamed. In this case we would create a new user (and linked identity) but the old one still appears when searching, leading to confusion by some as to which identity should be selected. Thanks in advance Jams

Error connecting to ARAS through C# application

James Marriner — Fri, 28 Apr 2017 03:34:23 GMT

Hello, Apologies for the 3rd post in 3 days. Using the below snippet of code it should allow me to log in to the system (through set credentials or windows authorisation) . string url = "http://Server/Database string db = "Database"; string user = "admin"; string pw = "innovator"; HttpServerConnection conn = IomFactory.CreateHttpServerConnection(url, db, user, pw); //WinAuthHttpServerConnection conn = IomFactory.CreateWinAuthHttpServerConnection(url, db); Item login_result = conn.Login(); if (login_result.isError()) throw new Exception("Login failed"); Innovator inn = IomFactory.CreateInnovator(conn); For some reason this was working Wednesday but stopped working overnight. The error I get with visual studio is: "System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to remote server" Fault Code - 999 Fault string - HTTP Error Fault factor - HTTP Server Connection Detail - Unknown error I have tried: Login using both sets of login information on all installed browsers via the log in page - works fine Confirmed the login.aspx page has anonymous login disabled. Confirmed VS takes the raw password string and converts into a password hash. I can connect in via AML Studio 1.2 using the same information Can anyone confirm if I am doing something wrong, or provide some insight as to why I cannot connect? I can provide screenshots of VS if needed but not sure how to add them, if I can. Thanks in advance James
