Batch Content to Later Show as EBS Managed Attachments for Certain Business Entities

SCENARIO: You have numerous content items that you need to batch/bulk load into Universal Content Management (UCM) without using the EBS interface, and those items need to be tied/related to certain EBS entities.

Below is an example of using UCM IdcCommand to batch/bulkload the content items:

1. Gain a better understanding of what the EBS Managed Attachments code sends to UCM for a "New" check-in via enabling verbose system audit trace section "requestaudit" and adding an attachment to a specific business entity via the Managed Attachments EBS Zoom link. Example parameters sent to UCM are below:

requestaudit/6 10.26 17:09:44.854 IdcServer-7165:

CHECKIN_NEW [dID=8512][dDocName=UCM008514][dDocTitle=test][dUser=sysadmin][dSecurityGroup=AFDocuments][QueryText=dAFBusinessObjectType<matches>`PER_PEOPLE_F` <AND> dAFBusinessObject<matches>`6429` <AND> dAFApplication<matches>`EBS_instanceA`][xCollectionID=0][StatusCode=0][StatusMessage=Successfully checked in content item 'UCM008514'.] 0.16578499972820282(secs)

2. Using the values from the example UCM trace above, you can create a serialized hda file to use with IdcCommand. For your environment, you will need to change the values to meet your needs/trace results.

Example IdcCommand file name = <ucm install root>/bin/EBSCheckin.hda

<?hda version="10.1.3.3.2 (071031)" jcharset=UTF8 encoding=utf-8?>
doFileCopy=1
IdcService=CHECKIN_NEW
dSecurityGroup=AFDocuments
dDocType=EBSAttachment
dDocTitle=test
dDocAuthor=sysadmin
dDocAccount=
dRevLabel=1
dInDate=12/15/2010
dAFApplication=EBS_instanceA
dAFBusinessObjectType=PER_PEOPLE_F
dAFBusinessObject=6429
primaryFile=/home/oracle/Desktop/Hello.txt


3. Run IdcCommand to batch/bulk load the content item(s) from the <ucm install root>/bin directory:

IdcCommand -u sysadmin -f EBSCheckin.hda

4. IdcCommand should output "successful".

5. Log-into that same EBS entity (a Person's record).

6. Log into UCM's prompt for the Managed Attachments Zoom for that EBS entity as the same user specified in the serialized hda as the value of  "dDocAuthor".

7. Check that the batch/bulk loaded content item(s) is available via EBS.
