Importer for Windows

• The Bulk file importer tool is based on NodeJS
• Documentation also available under https://github.com/sismics/docs/tree/master/docs-importer

Download the importer

See Downloads for recent compiled setups. The importer can be also downloaded at Github. The most recent version to find is https://github.com/sismics/docs/releases/download/v1.5/docs-importer-win.exe (which is an old one). We can also build ourselves. See below.

Building the importer

Requirements

Check your %PATH% variable. This should contain the following executables

Open elevated CMD Shell

1. press CTRL + R to open "Run"
2. Enter "cmd"
3. Click ok
   

   

   
   
4. Start elevated shell from current cmd. This will open up a new cmd shell with admin privileges
   

   

Clone Repository and run build

cd C:\
git clone https://github.com/sismics/docs.git
cd docs\docs-importer
npm install
npm install -g pkg
pkg .

Check the built output

Configure to use the importer

Create new share upload directory

A special upload folder should be created, e.g. C:\TeedyShare - from this folder the documents will be uploaded and cut later.

Start docs-importer-win.exe and configure it

Please put the docs-importer-win.exe to some fixed place where it should stay, like in C:\Teedy\docs-importer-win.exe

Note that the screenshot contains some older directory name.

After entering the connection data this information will be persisted in %userprofile%\config\preferences\com.sismics.docs.importer.pref

Start as daemon and test upload

The program can be started with the switch -d. It queries the specified folder every 30 seconds and uploads any existing documents to the DMS. The files are then deleted locally.

Install as Windows Service

Create file C:\Teedy\teedy-service.ps1

Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden -FilePath C:\Teedy\docs-importer-win.exe -ArgumentList "-d"

Create a new task in task scheduler

Sorry for german screenshots. And please replace "SismicsDocs" with "Teedy" everywhere.

Check if service is running. Look for docs-importer-win.exe

Create a new Desktop Shortcut for your share directory
