Working with AoFiles in ASAM ODS databases

[RussellSenior]

Hello, is there any documentation on working with external references (AoFiles) within the ASAM ODS?  Specifically, I'm wondering how to use Diadem to download external references both in the Navigator interface, and in the scripting interface. 

Thanks.

Please check the command

ODS_DownloadFiles(Store, Instance, PropertyName, DownloadFileName)

for an AoFile instance PropertyName stays empty. It can also be used to download DT_BLOB and DT_BYTESTR.

There is no direct integration into DIAdem Navigator because there will never be an AoFile instance to right klick on.

So there needs to be customizing anyhow.

Check the

Context menu -> DIAdem Navigator

script interface to integrate your scripts.

Hope this helps
