XMetaL Author for SharePoint, Part 7 of n – Import

[nhu1]

Import

Both files and folders on the local machine can be imported to the folders or document libraries on SharePoint server.

• If a folder is imported, its sub-folder structure will be duplicated on the server.
• Duplicated files or folders may be provided as initial import set, only a single copy of file or folder is created on the server. However, this is not a recommended practice.

After each import session, a log file is generated in [%appdata%\SoftQuad\XMetaL Cms\SharePoint2\transfer\].  –

• The log file will be deleted if a new import session has started.

The following options can be configured before starting import:

• Overwrite existing documents
  • If true, the file being imported overwrites the file with the same name on the server.
  • The file that has been checked out by other users will be skipped and not overwritten.
• Do not overwrite my checked-out files
  • Same as [Overwrite existing documents] except that the file checked out by the current user will not be overwritten either.
• Check in documents after being imported
  • If true, the file will be automatically checked in if its state is checked-out after being imported.
  • Otherwise, the file state depends on the system after being imported.
• Publish to next major version
  • Same as [Check in documents after being imported] except that the file will be automatically checked in with the major version.
  • This option is only visible for document libraries where both major and minor versioning are enabled.
• Import referenced files on this machine
  • If true, the referenced files from a xml or markdown file will be resolved and imported along with the referencing file.
    • [Link attribute names to resolve] should be setup/selected accordingly.
    • [Link attribute names to resolve] can be modified temporarily in the text box for the current import operation. The modified value will not be saved for the future imports.
    • There are 3 build-in attribute-scheme [DITA/DocBook/Journalist] files.
  • For a xml file, the referencing attributes and file name extensions can be configured via [Repositories -> XMSP–Configure Settings ->Transfer].
    • The result is saved in [%appdata%\SoftQuad\XMetaL Cms\SharePoint2\dat\xmlapp.xml].
  • The link value format is decided by [reference.mode].
  • Multiple files can have references to the same file. Each file is imported only once.
