Document Export
Command Line Process
Execute a command line process on a document. To do this, separate the command (script) and the file with: ||.
If the path is not specified in the PATH environment variable, then specify the path. Examples:
autoPrint.vbs||${file}
C:\autoPrint.vbs||${file}
Node Replication
HTTP Path: The path to the PaperTrail server that will contain the replicated node.
By default, a server can replicate to any other server. To prevent this behavior, refer to Trusted Servers, page.
To see information about replication, to replicate documents again, and to clear replication queues, use the Rule.replicate message queue in Services>Messages.
Auto Export
The autoExport rule can export documents via 3 different mechanisms:
Folder
Folder supports multiple folder types:
| Syntax | Description |
|---|---|
| /folder/path | Linux Format |
| C:\folder\path | Windows Format |
| \server1\path | Windows Only UNC style path - Note: Mapped drives are not supported |
| smb://server1/path | SMB/CIFS format supported on both Linux and Windows - Integrated Authentication is not supported |
| ftp://server1/path | FTP server supported on both Windows + Linux |
Setup of a CIFS Share (Access Windows Share from Linux Server)
Install the cifs-utils utility
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Setting up the mount point manually once-off (will revert after server restart)
sudo mount.cifs [source on Windows] [mount point on Linux] -o credentials=[path to credentials file]
e.g.
sudo mount.cifs //10.0.1.4/share/ /mnt/papertrailexport/ -o credentials=/etc/smb_credentials.txt
Credentials file - /etc/smb_credentials.txt
username=support
password=MyPlaintextPassword
domain=egis-software.com
To automount the remote Windows share on Linux server startup
edit the /etc/fstab file, adding the below entry
//10.0.1.4/share/ /mnt/papertrailexport/ cifs credentials=/etc/smb_credentials.txt 0 0
Uploads the document via HTTP post to the specified host. If the URL does not contain a path then the following default is used:
/public/file/${_httpNodePath}/${_httpFilename}
- ${_httpFilename} corresponds to the URL encoded filename of the document
- ${_httpNodePath} corresponds to the URL encoded node path
This corresponds to the public API available for importing documents into PaperTrail.
- To specify a different node path you would use:
/public/file/Division/Cabinet/${_httpFilename} - To append indexes you would use:
/public/file/${_httpNodePath}/${_httpFilename}?index1=staticValue1&index2=${docId} - And to append all indexes:
/public/file/${_httpNodePath}/${_httpFilename}?${_httpIndexes}
PaperTrail Server
- HTTP Path: The URL of the PaperTrail server to which the documents will be exported. Example: http://headoffice:8080
- Include: We recommend Document Archive or Source.
Export Format
- Source - The original document
- PDF - The PDF rendition or the original document
- PDF Printout - A PDF rendition that simulates a print to PDF event
- Document Archive - A ZIP file including all metadata and files
- XML - An XML file including all metadata
- Scripted - Allows the use of script to create FileObject from the a DocumentModel
