M-Files Download

The M-Files Upload plugin downloads a single file from an M-Files system (see "M-Files" on the pre-

vious page).

This Action plugin is not initially installed with Workflow. It is available for download on the Resource

Center (help.objectiflune.com).

After downloading the .PPK file, you have to import it into Workflow;see see Importing a plugin.

Once installed, the plugin will appear in the Document Management category in the Plug-In Bar.

To be able to use this plugin you need a working M-Files installation and a user account with appro-

priate permissions.

Input

The input of this plugin can be any file, since it isn't used by the plugin.

Processing

The M-Files Download plugin starts by sending a login request to the M-Files Server. Once the con-

nection is established, it tries to download a copy of the specified file from the Vault that it is connected

to.

If the search for files results in multiple files being found, then only the first file is downloaded.

The downloaded file is not removed from the M-Files Server.

The plugin saves either the file name or the response that it gets from the M-Files Server in a specified

variable.

Output

The output of this task - the Job File - is either the downloaded file, or the document index data in XML

or JSON format. In the latter case, the JSON/XML file includes a path to the file so it can be down-

loaded separately. The response that the plugin gets from the M-Files Server is then stored in a vari-

able (if specified).

Task properties

All of the task's General properties are dynamic. This means that you can use any combination of text,

variables and data selections of which the value will be determined whenever the process runs (see

Variable task properties).
