fetch action updates the metadata of files in the file system. You can change the following metadata:

UNIX/Linux |
|
To use the update
fetch action, the connector must have permission to modify files in the file system. If you are running the connector as a service and the user running the service does not have adequate permissions, set the configuration parameters UpdateUsername
and UpdatePassword
in the connector's configuration file. These parameters specify the user name and password of a user account to use to perform the updates.
To use the update
fetch action, you must construct some XML that specifies the identifiers of the files to update, and provides the new values for any metadata fields that you want to change. Use the XML as the value of the action parameter identifiersXML
. The XML must be URL-encoded before being used in the action command. For example:
http://host:port/action=Fetch&FetchAction=update &IdentifiersXML=URL-encoded XML
For information about how to construct the XML, see Construct XML to Update Access Control Lists and Construct XML to Update Dates.
