Fundamentals of Item Operation with Aras Innovator API

Aras Innovator API (Innovator Object Model; IOM) provides simple way to build and submit query request with AML. This article will introduce some common methods.

Get Innovator Instance

No matter develop server side or client side code, IOM provides same members to call. The only difference is the way to get Innovator instance. Syntax of VB .NET and JavaScript show as below:

VB. NET


Dim objInno As Innovator = Me.getInnovator()

JavaScript


var inno = aras.IomInnovator;
※Due to the syntax of IOM in VB .NET and JavaScript are similar, the following examples will only enumerate with JavaScript.

Create Item

Mainly use the method "newItem".

Syntax


var itm = inno.newItem('Part', 'get');

Built AML


<Item isNew="1" isTemp="1" type="Part" action="get"/>

Handle Attribute

Related methods are "setAttribute" and "getAttribute".

Set Syntax


itm.setAttribute('select', 'id');

Built AML Node


<Item isNew="1" isTemp="1" type="Part" action="get" select="id"/>

Get Syntax


var select = itm.getAttribute('select', '');
//id

Handle Property

Related methods are "setProperty" and "getProperty".

Set Syntax


itm.setProperty('item_number','A*');

Built AML Node


<Item isNew="1" isTemp="1" type="Part" action="get" select="id">
    <item_number>A*</item_number>
</Item>

Get Syntax


var itemNumber = itm.getProperty('item_number', '');
//A*

Handle Property Attribute

Related methods are "setPropertyAttribute" and "getPropertyAttribute".

Set Syntax


itm.setPropertyAttribute('item_number','condition','like');

Built AML Node


<Item isNew="1" isTemp="1" type="Part" action="get" select="id">
    <item_number condition="like">A*</item_number>
</Item>

Get Syntax


var condition = itm.getPropertyAttribute('item_number', 'condition', '');
//like

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 sh...
