CMIS Legacy Import

Provides import connectivity to CMIS-compliant content management platforms.

Remarks

CMIS Import relies on settings defined by CMIS Content Type objects. As such, it is important that the relevant CMIS type has been imported, and that a corresponding Grooper Content Type has been created and mapped to it.

NOTE: This Import Provider is depreciated. The Import Query Results or Import Descendants providers should be used in its place.

Properties

The following 19 properties are defined.

Property Name Description
General
CMIS Repository Type: CMIS Repository

The CMIS Repository from which content will be imported.

CMIS Query Type: String

Defines a query which selects the objects to be imported.

Filtering
Allowed File Types Type: Embedded Lexicon

Defines a list of file types which should be imported. If no values are specified, all file types will be imported, except for those specified in the Exclusion File Types.

Each entry in the list should specify a file extension or a MIME type in lower case. File extensions must begin with a "." character (ex: .txt), and MIME types should be entered as type/subtype (ex: text/plain).

Excluded File Types Type: Embedded Lexicon

Defines a list of file types which should be ignored.

Each entry in the list should specify a file extension or a MIME type in lower case. File extensions must begin with a "." character (ex: .txt), and MIME types should be entered as type/subtype (ex: text/plain).

Selection Pattern Type: String

A regular expression pattern used to select items for import.

Exclusion Pattern Type: String

A regular expression pattern used to exclude items from the import process.

Maximum File Size Type: Int64

The maximum size of a file to be imported, in megabytes. Files larger than this will be ignored.

Post Processing
Disposition Type: DispositionType, Default: NoChange

Specifies an optional action to be performed on each object after import. Can be one of the following values:

  • NoChange - Do not do anything to each item after importing.
  • Flag - Flag each item after importing.
  • Delete - Delete each item after importing.
  • Move - Move each item after importing.

Disposition Folder Type: String

When Disposition is set to 'Move', specifies the folder files should be moved into after import.

Processing Options
Sparse Import Type: Boolean, Default: True

If true, documents will be imported in sparse mode. Sparse documents avoid duplicating storage in Grooper when the content can be accessed through a link. Sparse imports serve two general purposes:

  • To speed up imports. Afterwards, content can then be loaded in parallel in a Batch Process, using the Execute activity.
  • To avoid duplicating storage in Grooper unnecessarily. All Grooper modules can work with sparse documents in the same way they can work with normal documents.

Skip Count Type: Int32, Default: 0

Indicates the number of items to skip at the beginning of the sequence. Use this property to restart an import which was previously stopped.

Max Items Type: Int32, Default: 0

Indicates the maximum number of items to process. This can be used with Skip Count to perform incremental imports.

Batch Creation
Starting Step Type: Batch Process Step

The step within a batch process where batches will be started.

Folder Levels Type: List of Folder Level Info

Defines the number of folder levels which will be translated into subfolders within the Grooper Batch.

Maximum Items per Batch Type: Int32, Default: 2500

The maximum number of items to be imported into a single batch.

Priority Type: Int32, Default: 3, Range: 1 - 5

The priority of the batch. The Priority value controls the order in which tasks are processed, with the value 1 representing the highest priority level, and the value 5 representing the lowest priority level. (i.e. Items of priority 1 are processed before items of Priority 2, and so on). The batch must be paused before this property can be edited.

Batch Name Prefix Type: String

An optional prefix to be prepended onto each batch name.

Example

Given the date is 01-02-2019 and the time is 1:39:00 PM, entering "Tommy Oliver's AP batch_:_" will result in the batch being named:

"Tommy Oliver's AP batch_:_ 2019-01-02 01:39:00 PM"

Start Paused Type: Boolean, Default: True

If true, created batches will be started in a paused state.

Batch Folder Classification
Content Type Type: Content Type

Optionally assign a content type to created batch folders.
