Any feature marked with an asterisk (*) requires a database update to database version 2026.1 in order to access the feature. It is advisable to always update to the latest version of the database as it is easier for you to keep track of the various versions and ensures that any software patches are only applied to the applicable database versions.
Ruby scripts as database items
Previously, you could only use a Ruby script file in InfoAsset Manager that was created externally, and run either using the Run Ruby script option in the Network menu or by including the file in a customs action.
These options are still available but now you can also add a Ruby script as a
database item (
), and use the new
Ruby script editor to add Ruby script code, view or edit an existing Ruby script, validate its syntax and run the script in the current network in the
GeoPlan. You can also import an external Ruby script (RB) file as a Ruby script database item, and export the item if required. See
Ruby Script for details about this new item, and the various methods that can be used to run it.
Including a Ruby script as a database item in a Custom action
As a Ruby Script is now available as a database item, it can be included in the Select object to apply for this dropbox in the Custom actions dialog. The alternative method of browsing for an external Ruby script in the or select a Ruby script to be run field is still available, as is the restriction that you can either specify a database item or an external Ruby script but not both. See Customs Actions for further information.
