Insert Files into Vantara
The connector's insert
fetch action can insert files into a Vantara file system. To use the insert
action, you must construct some XML that specifies where to add each file, and the information to insert.
To insert a file, set the reference
to the path where you want to insert the file. Use the file
element to specify the content to insert. There are several ways that you can do this, for example specifying the path to a file or providing the content base-64 encoded. For more information about how to specify the source file, refer to the documentation for the insert
action in the Vantara Connector Reference.
The following example would insert file.txt
in a directory named folder
, in the file system /Projects
. The file would contain the content "This is my file".
<insertXML> <insert> <reference>/Projects/folder/file.txt</reference> <file> <type>content</type> <content>VGhpcyBpcyBteSBmaWxl</content> </file> <insert_id>012345</insert_id> </insert> </insertXML>
Add this XML to the insert fetch action as the value of the insertXML
action parameter. The XML must be URL encoded before being used in the action command. For example:
http://host:port/action=Fetch&FetchAction=Insert &ConfigSection=MyTask &InsertXML=[URL encoded XML]

fetch action, refer to the Vantara Connector Reference.
