Unity API equiv of CopyLocal?

[Cameron_Gray]

Hey guys,

I am currently re-writing a tiny script that was hidden in a workflow for a customer we just upgraded from OnBase 13 to OnBase 15.02.

The VBScript was being called with SYS -Run Script in a workflow, and what it would do is copy the target document to a network share and modify the file name at that location. An example would be if the item in workflow was Document A 12345 10/03/2016 it would be copied out to the provided network share as DocumentA1234510_03_2016. The script was using the 'CopyLocal' method which doesn't seem to exists any longer in Unity API.

I see there's a workflow action in OnBase 15 'Export to Network Share', but it doesn't look like I would be able to modify the output of the filename using that workflow action. Is there some functionality to accomplish this in the Unity API that I am missing?

Thanks,

Cameron

You can use something like this:

                // Get the default rendition of the current revision of the document
                // Need a rendition to retrieve the page data.
                Rendition currentRendition = document.DefaultRenditionOfLatestRevision;
              
                // Use the Retrieval class.
                // Returns file data directly from the diskgroups when we use "Native format."
                using (PageData pageData = core.Retrieval.Native.GetDocument(currentRendition))
                {

                     // String used for name of document saved to the file system.  pageData.extension gives you the document extension
                     string fileExtension = "." + pageData.Extension;
                     string fileName = @"C:\test";

                    // Use the Utility class to write the page data stream to the desired file
                    Utility.WriteStreamToFile(pageData.Stream, fileName + fileExtension);
                }

Thank you!!  This saves me so much time to be able to use your example!!

Cameron,

There isn't a single method to do this in Unity, you would need to go through the typical means of getting a document's PageData and then getting the stream and writing it out to a file.

You could also maybe use the "Export to Network Location" action and specify the filename using a property. You should be able to pretty easily customize the property using the "Set Property to Expression" action.

Yeah, I think this can be done without a script by using properties. I believe another action that can do this is Send Web Request. It sounds weird, but there is a file:\\ protocol option. I think this may not work if there are different extensions going through this action - I don't recall if there is a method to get the extension using set property value/expression.
