Search Tips in Aras Innovator

In "Jus Ask Innoavtor", we could learn some tips for querying data in simple search mode. But I would use those tips with examples to make it easier to understand.
Suppose there are 5 records in my database.

Exact String Matching

Input words or terms without any special symbol will execute exact string matching.
Input "A0119B/11101", 1 record returned.

Input "A0119B", nothing returned.

Input "11101", nothing returned.

Approximate String Matching

Use "*" or "%" as wildcard character to execute approximate string matching.

Input "A0*", 2 records returned.

Input "*1", 3 records returned.

Input "*ED*", 2 records returned.

Input "A*1*1", 1 record returned.

Regular Expression Matching

Use square brackets with simple regular expression to execute a query is acceptable, all allowed terms (which are tested by myself and refer to this article) are shown below:
  • A-Z → Match alphabetic characters
  • 0-9 → Macth digits
  • !@#$%&()_+-={}:";'<>?,./~ → Match corresponded symbol
  • \| → Match "|" and because "|" is reserved character, escape character "\" is required.
  • \\ → Match "\" and because "\" is reserved character, escape character "\" is required.
Input "[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9]2*" which means first and second position is alphanumeric characters and third position is "2", there are 4 records returned.

Input "*[-/]*" which means the result should contain "-" or "/", there are 5 records returned.

Logical Operator

Use "|" to execute logical operator "OR", that means input multiple conditions is acceptable.

Input "A0*|W9*", 3 records returned.

Trigger Sequence of Promotion Events in Aras Innovator

There are several Server Event could trigger Method during item promotion: ItemType: OnBeforePromote, OnAfterPromote; Life Cycle: Transition Pre, Transition Post. Trigger sequence of above events is shown in below figure: It's important to note that "Transition Post" cannot rollback while exception throws because item promotion is finished after "OnAfterPromote" That means even if throwing exception, the life cycle will still stay at promoted state. Please note, all above events will not be triggered when "OnPromote" event exists (due to this will overwrite original system process).
