%MFT.API

Class %MFT.API Extends %RegisteredObject [ Abstract, System = 4 ]

The File Management API is an implementation of access to the REST APIS from Box, Dropbox and Accellion Kiteworks. The connection to the underlying service is defined by the connection object, a subclass of %SYS.MFT.Connection.Base. This connection is passed as the first argument to each of the API calls either as the name of a saved persistent object or as a oref of a connection object. The remote files and folders being operated upon will be specified as a Unix style path. If the remote path is relative then it will be relative to the current remote folder. The root remote folder will always be denoted as "/". The local files will be specified as usual by a file system based path. If the local path is relative it will be relative to the manager directory.
The file management API will be implemented in subclasses of the %MFT.API class which are particular to the vendor service.

Methods

ClassMethod SetCurrentFolder(connection As %SYS.MFT.Connection.Base, folderPath As %String) As %Status

Set the current remote folder path.

GetRequestId

ClassMethod GetRequestId(connection As %SYS.MFT.Connection.Base, itemInfo As %MFT.ItemInfo) As %String

CreateFolder

ClassMethod CreateFolder(connection As %SYS.MFT.Connection.Base, folderPath As %String, Output itemInfo As %MFT.ItemInfo) As %Status

"" May be used as the folderPath to specify the current folder. The FolderContents object will include a list of %MFT.ItemInfo objects which contain a file or folder name and some additional simple information.

If a file does not exist at the specified path, then $$$OK is returned as status and itemInfo is returned as "".

DeleteFile

ClassMethod DeleteFile(connection As %SYS.MFT.Connection.Base, path As %String, permanent As %Boolean = 0) As %Status

Delete the remote file. path may be a file path. path may also be specified as an id of the form "id:" which was obtained from a %MFT.ItemInfo object.
If permanent is true, then the file will be permanently deleted. Otherwise the file will be moved to trash. If the remote file does not exist at the specified path, then $$$OK is returned as status.

UploadStream

ClassMethod UploadStream(connection As %SYS.MFT.Connection.Base, stream As %BinaryStream, filePath As %String, replace As %Boolean = 0, Output itemInfo As %MFT.ItemInfo) As %Status
