Insert Documents
The insert
fetch action inserts information into the Documentum repository. To use the insert action, you must construct some XML that specifies where to add each item, and the information to insert. URL encode the XML and add it to the action as the value of the insertXML
action parameter. For example:
http://host:port/action=Fetch &FetchAction=Insert &ConfigSection=MyTask &InsertXML=[URL encoded XML]
The insertXML
must include:
- The
file
element, to specify a file. For information about the ways in which you can specify a file, see the documentation for theinsert
fetch action in the Documentum Connector Reference. - The
FOLDER
property, to specify the folder to add the file to.
You can optionally include:
- The
FORMAT
property, to specify the format of the file using format names recognized by the Documentum server. You can find the format names by querying thedm_format
object in Documentum. TheFORMAT
property is optional. If you do not set this property, the default value ofunknown
is used. - Metadata to assign to existing Documentum fields.
For example, the value of your insertXML
action parameter might look like this:
<InsertXML> <insert> <property name="FOLDER" value="documents/pdfs"/> <property name="FORMAT" value="pdf"/> <metadata name="keywords" value="things"/> <!-- ... --> <file> <type>file</type> <content>things.pdf</content> </file> </insert> </InsertXML>
