Upload Multiple Documents to Alfresco
I am using uploading multiple documents using bonita ui by using Multiple file uploading example given at link : http://community.bonitasoft.com/project/file-upload-and-download-process... I required to upload multiple documents to alfresco. How can i do that ?.I am new to bonita and alfresco so help kindly. Thanks in advance.
The way we create the list is as follows (as per our requirement):
def x;
if(1<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc01 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc01").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(2<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc02 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc02").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(3<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc03 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc03").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(4<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc04 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc04").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(5<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc05 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc05").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(6<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc06 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc06").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(7<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc07 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc07").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(8<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc08 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc08").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(9<=outputFiles){if (outputDoc09 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc09").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
if(10<=outputFiles){if(outputDoc10 == null){ /* do nothing */ } else{x = apiAccessor.getProcessAPI().getLastDocument(processInstanceId, "outputDoc10").getId(); xList.add(x);}}
return xList;
In the Caller Step we use this list with iterator docID (type Long) which is Mapped to Target docID.
This works perfectly with us and all our documents get processes correctly by the subroutine.
...then in first automatic step in operations i used following code to get document from docId and assigned it to myDocument Variable in subprocess. But i don't get Any value in myDocument variable in next step.
I would only use the docID in the subprocess to access the document directly, do not try to manipulate it to another variable, it is not necessary.
You should then be able to do what you want to do, we do this all the time (but not with Alfresco).

PS: As this reply answers your question, please mark as resolved by ticking the tick mark on the left of this reply.
What you have to do is add another step that calls a subroutine to do the work
For example I have a list of documents [doc01, ... doc10]
You have to multiinstantiate a call to the upload step with the docID. The upload step then does an individual upload at a time.
See here http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/?page=documents and look for documents and called processes.
Depending on your server you can either do this sequentially, or in parallel.

As i mentioned that i have used 1.2.0 version example at http://community.bonitasoft.com/project/file-upload-and-download-process to upload and download document.
I have added multi-instantiation a call activity after step mentioned in example "Step download latest. version".selected option of "create instance from a list" and add a doclist contaning docId by using following code:
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import org.bonitasoft.engine.bpm.contract.FileInputValue
import org.bonitasoft.engine.bpm.document.Document
import org.bonitasoft.engine.bpm.document.DocumentValue
List xList = new ArrayList();
def x;
int index = 0
int numberOfResult = 1
List documents
while((documents = apiAccessor.processAPI.getDocumentList(processInstanceId, "myMultipleDocuments", index, numberOfResult)).size()) {
for(Document currentDocument : documents) {
x=currentDocument.getId();
xList.add(x);
}
index += numberOfResult
}
return xList;
I added all document ids to doclist in operation of step befre call activty means in "step upload new Version".
Then i map docId to subprocess docId then in first automatic step in operations i used following code to get document from docId and assigned it to myDocument Variable in subprocess. But i don't get Any value in myDocument variable in next step. Kindly hep in finding out what can be the problem. I don't understand i completely follow the link http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/?page=documents.Help kindly.

You need to learn alfresco as well... :)
First things first is what version of Alfresco? If 5 then it may be possible, if 6 then the wizard will not work.
