Basics

A Document Proxy object contains the logic of a basic Proxy object combined with the capability to handle file documents from an interface. One Document Proxy object can handle both import and export of the same Ubik FileDocument instance via one interface.

IC Hint square.pngA Document Proxies are instances of PX_DOCUMENT or a derivative of it!

The TargetType for DocumentMetaProxy should be a FileDocument MetaClass.

DocumentMetaProxy Setup

UBIK provides a DocumentMetaProxy called PX_DOCUMENT (UID: 58c1a444-3867-41e7-84a2-bd655fb04755) that is derived from PROXYROOT. The TargetType of DocumentMetaProxies needs to be set to a FileDocumentMetaClass (e.g. a MetaClass derived from FILEDOCUMENT). The following methods need to be overridden for the InterfaceAdministration MetaClasses that are related to DocumentMetaProxies via their SYSREL_INTERFACE_ADMIN_METAPROXY relation:

  • GetExternalDataReader()
protected override UBIK.Interface.IInterfaceExecutor GetExternalDataReader()
{
        return new UBIK.Interface.FileDocumentReadFromExternalExecutor(this.Environment);
}
  • GetExternalDataWriter()
protected override UBIK.Interface.IInterfaceExecutor GetExternalDataWriter()
{
        return new UBIK.Interface.FileDocumentWriteToExternalExecutor(this.Environment);
}

Properties

Besides the properties known from the basic Proxy, a DocumentProxy provides the following properties:

ProxyMetaProperties:

Property Description
Key The file path to the external document (ubik needs to have access to it). External primary key.
File name The name of the external file (including its extension).
File path The full path of the external file.
File content type The content type (extension) of the external file.
File creation time The creation timestamp of the external file.

MetaProperties:

Property Description
Import File Hashcode The hashcode representing the content of the import file
Export File Hashcode The hashcode representing the content of the export file


BatchDocumentProxyCreator

The BatchDocumentProxyCreator class provides the possibility to create multiple Document Proxies with the import status set to QuedForReadFromExternal. The following two methods can be executed by e.g. using Who-Bert:

Example: Asking a BatchDocumentProxyCreator to create Document Proxies for all documents in a folder (top level only) without filters.

// Getting your required MetaProxy
MetaProxy myMetaProxy = obj.Environment.UBIKDataFactory().ContentObject(new Guid("put UID of your MetaProxy here")) as MetaProxy;

// Creating a BatchDocumentProxyCreator instance
UBIK.Interface.BatchDocumentProxyCreator creator = new UBIK.Interface.BatchDocumentProxyCreator();

// Defining string for folder path
string folderPath = @"C:\Documents";

// calling CreateProxies() without filtering options
// Parameter 1: the path to the folder that contains the documents.
// Parameter 2: the MataProxy
creator.CreateProxies(folderPath, myMetaProxy);

Example: Asking a BatchDocumentProxyCreator to create Document Proxies for all documents in a folder (top and sub levels) with filters.

// Getting your required MetaProxy
MetaProxy myMetaProxy = obj.Environment.UBIKDataFactory().ContentObject(new Guid("put UID of your MetaProxy here")) as MetaProxy;

// Creating a BatchDocumentProxyCreator instance
UBIK.Interface.BatchDocumentProxyCreator creator = new UBIK.Interface.BatchDocumentProxyCreator();

// Defining string for folder path
string folderPath = @"C:\Documents";

//Define string for search pattern
string searchPattern = "*.pdf";

// calling CreateProxies() with filtering options
// Parameter 1: string of the path to the folder that contains the documents.
// Parameter 2: the MataProxy
// Parameter 3: string of the search pattern
// Parameter 4: System.IO.SearchOption
creator.CreateProxies(folderPath, myMetaProxy, searchPattern, SearchOption.AllDirectories);
