Object reports

When you check in parts and assemblies to Commonspace, Intralink stores all items in a vault. The database links each actual name to a vault file name with a sequential number.
For example, say you check in an assembly with 2 parts & a drawing... these may be stored as 1023.asm, 1024.prt, 1025.prt, 1026.drw

If/when you need to retrieve specific files from a backup of the vault, you can't tell by looking which file is related to which part/drawing, etc...
That's when you need an OBJECT REPORT.

You can run an Object Report from the DSMU (proimgr) or command line:

DSMU

On the Server machine, run the program proimgr - it should be in the path ( <dataserver loadpoint>\intralink\bin )
After logging in, go to the menu: Report | Object List
This will list all the vault paths, item names & create a log file in your local folder: ILINK_ALL_OBJECT_REPORT.log

Command Line

Create a text file with your fileserver password in it (default = fschangeme) & save as input.txt:

fschangeme

Note: if you have multiple vaults or fileservers, you may need to experiment with the contents of this file, eg: to create object reports for all vaults:

.
y
fschangeme
fschangeme

At the command line,

set ORA_SYS_PWD=manager

Run the Object Report file (located in <dataserver loadpoint>\intralink\objects\) with input:

ilink_object_report.bat < input.txt

You could also schedule these 2 steps to provide an up-to-date object report...
Simply search the Object Report for your item name to find out what vault file you need. Remember to look for the correct version and revision.
