Bulk Upload Web Services in Alfresco 2.9.0B

[jlabuelo]

Good Morning all

I have been reading the documentation related to the new 2.9.0B version, and I have noticed that CIFS does not work for the moment in this version.

I would like to know if the Web Services API that we had in 1.4, 2.0 and 2.1 to migrate big quantities of content do still work the same in Alfresco 2.9.0B, or if in this new version we have a new way to migrate this content from a third data provider.

Do you know of any documentation where bulk content upload is explained for version 2.9.0B or we can just keep using the Web Servicies API as for 2.1/2.0? if the second option is the right one, how can we identify the right tenant, just with the user login?

Thanks a lot for your help

CIFS should work - what issues did you see ? If you still have problems then you may wish to compare to either 2.1.x and/or the latest nightly build (2.9.0C_dev)

>> I would like to know if the Web Services API … [will] still work the same in Alfresco 2.9.0B

Yes, it should

>> how can we identify the right tenant, just with the user login?

Yes, see: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/MT#Tenant-Aware_Interfaces

Hi Janv

I did not try CIFS yet in multy-tenant mode. I have readed the Alfresco Multy-Tentant documentation, but there is a sentence that cofuses me a little bit:

In the lik you passed to me in  your previous reply, in the section "Tenant Aware Interfaces" the last point of the section says:
"CIFS is not currently supported"

So my question would be, Can I have two tenants being administered by the same Alfresco 2.9 Installation, and use CIFS with each of them to move documents to their spaces??.

If the answer is yes, then I think the documentation should be changed to avoid possible confusions like the one I am having.

And if the answer is no, what can we use to bulk upload documents to the spaces of each of the tenants we admin in 2.9??

Once again, thanks a lot for your help and quick answers.

Cheers

Ah, I did not realise that you were trying to use CIFS in a multi-tenant env … the wiki correctly states that this is not supported … sorry for the confusion.

Instead you can use one of the other interfaces, eg. FTP or WebDAV.

Thanks,
Jan
