Alfresco Property Mapping Nodes

Purpose: This task is for getting existing node references in an Alfresco instance, in order to update them, rather than create a new one if the existing file has moved from its original ingestion location.

Use cases: It's used in jobs where the Alfresco Output connector is used. Typically, in incremental or sync jobs, where changes to a file from a source system need to make it to the node it previously integrated to.

Configuration

To use this task go to the task tab in your job. Select the task from the drop down and click the plus circle to configure the task. Click done after making any changes to save.

Condition check

It will execute the task when the condition's result is 'true', 't', 'on', '1', or 'yes' (case-insensitive), or run on all conditions if left empty. This condition is evaluated for each document, determining whether the task should be executed based on the specified values.

Example: If I only want to run this task for PDF documents I would use the expression: equals('#{rd.mimetype}',"application/pdf")

How to set up

Provide the query JSON object, which is then sent to Alfresco which will return the matching Alfresco Node Reference, which we'll use to update the document.

Exceptions / requirements

If the query is too vague, and matches more than one node/document, then none of the documents will be updated. The query has to uniquely find a single node/document in Alfresco.
