Well Jason, many hands make light work :)....so I encourage you to dust off your C++ skills and join us on a worthy journey....the DB I was referring to was more of a flat file kinda thing that wouldn't need an engine....but hmmm...what about it having an option of being a Remedy app that stored its stuff in forms?....who knows if that would work....one of the things I always loved about ARInside when I was a simple user was the ability to 'deliver' documentation to a client for a product I developed....I gave them a CD that contained all of the design docs, etc...with a folder for the documentation...it was awesome...I dunno...would it be better to have less files, but the same information?...like maybe all field information for a form was in a single file with bookmarks instead of each field having its own file...

What is the feasibility of storing the data in a db vs. +100k html files at over 1gb of disk space (and this isn't even ITSM 7)? I would think if the object id's are maintain in a db then the data could be normalized and alleviate all of the data that is now being duplicated to link all of the html files every which way. This could also add searching capabilities. The down side I see is now this is another db/web app that administrators need to maintain instead of a ton of "dumb" html files you place on a web server. However... With a full blown app maybe you could do such things as keep previous version and restore/migrate straight to a server? Now that I have thrown all of that out there I guess I should pick up C++ again so I can help out.

As ARInside grabs objects from the server (in the order it grabs them, which can be different each time), it assigns an 'internal id' to the object, and that internal id is what it uses to process objects. To do a 'difference' run you would need to keep a db of some sort around of what your object id's were for your last run, and then assign them back to the same id's on the next run. It's definitely possible, but is a rewrite of a significant part of the code I think....that's not to say it won't be done, just that it won't be 'now'...:)....if you want, please feel free to log it as an enhancement request though :) -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arsl...@arslist.org] On Behalf Of Misi Mladoniczky Sent: Friday, October 09, 2009 1:15 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: ARInside 3.0 Beta Hi, In theory, it should be possible to leverege the modify-time of the server objects to do an incremental update of the previous run. All ARGetList*()-functions has a last-modify-date parameter, to allow retrieval of changed objects. You will also need to remove any objects that has been deleted. This would be a really good improvement on performance. I have not looked at the code (yet...) though.
