Imports Page

Web Page GrooperReview.Pages.Imports

Provides a user interface for creating, managing, and monitoring Import Jobs in Grooper.

Remarks

The Imports Page enables users to create, resubmit, cancel, and delete Import Jobs—the mechanism for bringing files into Grooper from external sources.

Layout and Components

  • Object List (left): Displays all Import Jobs for the current repository. Users can select one or more jobs for further actions.
  • Job Info Property Grid (right): Shows the properties of the currently selected Import Job, allowing users to view and edit job configuration.
  • Toolbar Buttons:
    • Refresh: Updates the Object List to reflect the latest job status.
    • Add: Opens the Import Job dialog, where users configure a new job. Required fields include 'Description' and 'Provider'.
    • Resubmit: Makes the selected job available for processing again by the Import Watcher service.
    • Cancel: Interrupts a job that is currently in progress.
    • Delete: Removes selected jobs from the Object List.

Creating and Configuring Import Jobs

The most important configuration for an Import Job is the 'Provider' property, which determines how files are imported. Supported provider types include:

  • File System Import and Mail Import (legacy methods)
  • CMIS-based imports such as 'Import Query Results' and 'Import Descendants', which use SQL-like queries to target files in connected repositories

If a 'Starting Step' is set within the 'Batch Creation' sub-properties of 'Provider', the resulting Batch will appear in the "Batches / Production" folder; otherwise, it will be placed in "Batches / Test".

Processing and Monitoring

  • An Import Watcher service must be installed and running for the repository to process jobs.
  • Scheduled jobs are configured on the Import Watcher (with a polling cycle), not on the Imports Page.
  • For ad-hoc jobs, an Import Watcher is still required, even if no polling cycle is defined.

User Actions

  • Select a job and use Resubmit to make it available for processing again.
  • Use Cancel to interrupt a job in progress.
  • Use Delete to remove jobs from the list.

Additional Details

  • The Property Grid supports context menu commands for property management, including resetting, clearing, copying, and pasting property values.
  • The Object List supports multi-selection and keyboard navigation.
  • The page enforces user permissions and license requirements for access.
