For the functionality of multiple files you do not need to install any plug in.

Multiple File Upload
To build the functionality of multiple file upload the following steps have to be taken:
...
It is possible to extend this list with some custom meta data fields. These can be created and updated by using the AQ_File_UpdateMetaData
service.
Download File
To get the download file container work, first create a text item with the name 'DownloadText' and enter some text, e.g. Download.
...
This container can be used in the containment of the instance selector plus and it is ready to use.
Delete File
To be able to delete a file you need a service for that. Create a new service of type AQ_File_Delete
. Enter the following parameters:
...
This service can be used in the flow when a delete event is triggered. This service can be used directly.
Update Meta Data
Next to the default meta data that are stored, it is possible to define some of your own. These can be specified in the CustomMetaData parameter. This is an example with one meta data.
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Connection | <connection name> |
FileId | File.Id |
CustomMetaData | Meta = File.Meta |
Get Meta Data
Is is possible to retrieve the meta data when providing an Id.
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Connection | <connection name> |
FileId | File.Id |
FileName | File.Name |
FileType | File.Type |
FileSize | File.Size |
Move a File
By using the AQ_File_Move
it is possible to move a file from one connection to another connection. This could be useful when uploading to memory by default, adding some meta data and storing it on the file system afterwards. This service can be used by entering the following parameters.
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
ConnectionFrom | <connection name from one system> |
ConnectionTo | <connection name to another system> |
FileId | File.Id |
Flowing directly after an upload
There could be a need for directly triggering a flow when uploading a file. This could be useful when calling some services for setting information.
...
Every time a new file is uploaded, this exit event will be taken.
Example application
See the file upload example project.
