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.

As of Aras Innovator 12.0 SP3, the functionality in this community project has been introduced as part of the standard refresh action. If you are using 12.0 SP3+, you do not need to install this community project.

  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

  1. Enter the path to your local ..\RefreshFromDatabase\Import\imports.mf file in the Manifest File 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.
