Supported Connectors

The following sections specify whether a connector generates the AUTN_MIGRATION_URI metadata field for documents that it creates. They also list the properties that are required by the relevant Put* processor, to insert items into a repository. For example, to insert files into a file system you must specify a root directory.

You can set these properties in one of the following ways:

  • As dynamic properties, configured on the relevant Put* processor.
  • As parameters, appended to the value of the idol.put.migrationuri FlowFile attribute. To use this approach, do not include the migration: prefix. For example, to specify the root directory for migration to a standard file system, the URI would include a parameter named rootDirectory.

Amazon S3 Connector

Generates AUTN_MIGRATION_URI

For documents retrieved from Amazon S3, the AUTN_MIGRATION_URI field contains the full path of the item without the bucket name, for example folder/file.txt.

When migrating data to Amazon S3, files are inserted into the bucket specified in the configuration of the PutAmazonS3 processor. You do not need to specify any additional properties.

Content Manager Connector

Generates AUTN_MIGRATION_URI

For documents retrieved from Content Manager, the AUTN_MIGRATION_URI field contains the value /rec/{recordID}?databaseId={databaseID}. The {recordID} is a unique record ID that was generated by Content Manager when the file was first added. The {databaseID} is the database that the record was retrieved from, and therefore matches the database ID specified in the connector configuration.

It is not possible to insert documents into Content Manager using a migration URI, because record IDs are generated by Content Manager and cannot be altered by the user.

Exchange OData Connector

Generates AUTN_MIGRATION_URI

When migrating data from Exchange to another repository, OpenText recommends that you configure MessageFileContentType=EML in the Exchange OData Connector synchronize task.

When migrating data to Exchange, the connector inserts a mail item, unless there is no file present in which case it inserts a folder. If the file is an EML file, the EML is parsed and is inserted as a new mail item. Other types of files are inserted as an attachment to a new mail item.

Property name Property value
migration:user The ID or e-mail address of the user who owns the mailbox, where you want to insert the items.
migration:baseMailboxFolder The name of a well-known mail folder (such as Inbox) or a Mail Folder ID, where you want to insert the items.

File System Connector

Generates AUTN_MIGRATION_URI

Items are inserted into a folder in the file system.

Property name Property value
migration:rootDirectory A path to a directory in the file system, to use as the root folder when inserting items from another repository.

OneDrive Connector

Generates AUTN_MIGRATION_URI

Items are inserted into a specified drive.

Property name Property value
migration:driveId The ID of the drive to insert items into.
migration:driveOwnerId (Optional, but required for OneDrive for Business) The ID of the drive owner.
migration:parentId (Optional) The ID of the parent drive item.

SharePoint OData Connector

Generates AUTN_MIGRATION_URI

Migration URIs are populated only for list items and attachments.

Items are inserted into a specified document library.

Property name Property value
migration:siteUrl The URL of the SharePoint site that contains the document library.
migration:listName The title of the document library to insert the items into.

Web Connector
