Refresh From Database

This package adds a method and a button to the tearoff window which refreshes from the database. The default refresh button only refreshes from the dom.

Project Details

Built Using:

Aras 11.0 SP10

Versions Tested:

Aras 11.0 SP10, Aras 11.0 SP9 (open release), Aras 11.0 SP7

Browsers Tested:

Internet Explorer 11, Firefox 45 ESR, Chrome

Though built and tested using Aras 11.0 SP10, this project should function in older releases of Aras 11.0 after SP7 when CUI functionality was introduced.

Installation

Important!

Always back up your code tree and database before applying an import package or code tree patch!

Pre-requisites

  1. Aras Innovator installed (version 11.0 SPx preferred)
  2. Aras Package Import tool

Install Steps

Code tree Installation

These code tree changes only contain a custom icon for the toolbar. If you wish to use your own icon, you may replace the .svg file in the \Innovator\ folder with your own.

  1. Backup your code tree and store the archive in a safe place
  2. Navigate to your local ..\RefreshFromDatabase\ folder
  3. Copy the \Innovator\ folder
  4. Paste this at the root of your install directory
  • By default this is C:\Program Files\Aras\Innovator\

Database Installation

  1. Backup your database and store the BAK file in a safe place.
  2. Open up the Aras Package Import tool.
  3. Enter your login credentials and click Login
  • Note: You must login as root for the package import to succeed!
  1. Enter the package name in the TargetRelease field.
  • Optional: Enter a description in the Description field.
  1. Enter the path to your local ..\RefreshFromDatabase\Import\imports.mf file in the Manifest File field.
  2. Select aras.labs.RefreshFromDatabase in the Available for Import field.
  3. Select Type = Merge and Mode = Thorough Mode.
  4. Click Import in the top left corner.
  5. Close the Aras Package Import tool.

You are now ready to login to Aras and try out the Refresh From Database button.

Usage
