CMIS Folder Link

Folder Link Grooper.CMIS

Defines a reference to a folder in a CMIS Repository.

Remarks

The CMIS Folder Link class enables Grooper to reference, navigate, and interact with a specific folder in an external CMIS Repository. This is essential for workflows that require integration with enterprise content management systems, cloud storage, or other CMIS-compliant repositories, allowing Grooper to mirror, synchronize, or process content without duplicating all folder contents in the repository.

Usage Guidance

  • Use a CMIS Folder Link when you need Grooper to maintain a persistent reference to a folder in a CMIS repository, such as for importing folder hierarchies, synchronizing content, or exporting batch structures.
  • CMIS Folder Link objects are typically attached to Batch Folders during import or export operations involving hierarchical content.
  • The link enables Grooper to access folder metadata, enumerate children or descendants, and integrate with external folder-based workflows.
  • CMIS Folder Link objects are managed automatically by Import Provider and Export Definition implementations, but can also be created and configured programmatically for advanced integration scenarios.

This approach is ideal for solutions that require Grooper to interact with external folder hierarchies, supporting efficient integration with CMIS-compliant content management systems and repositories.

Available Commands

The following commands are provided by CMIS Folder Link to support content loading, synchronization, and property management:

  • Load Children: Loads the children or descendants of the linked CMIS Folder into the Grooper Batch. Supports filtering by name and loading in sparse mode. Use this command to import additional content below the folder, especially when working in Link Only mode.
  • Load Pages: Loads all image-based child documents as Batch Page objects. Use this to quickly import images from a CMIS folder as pages in Grooper.
  • Load Properties: Reads properties from the CMIS folder and applies them to the Grooper folder, using the mappings defined on the current Import Definition. Use this to synchronize metadata from the repository into Grooper.
  • Save Properties: Writes Grooper document properties to the CMIS folder, using the mappings defined on the current Export Definition. Use this to push updated metadata from Grooper back to the repository.
  • Delete: Deletes the CMIS folder associated with the link and removes the link from the Batch Folder. Use this to remove both the external folder and its reference in Grooper.

These commands can be executed manually by users or as part of automated workflows, providing flexible control over content import, export, and synchronization with external CMIS repositories.
