Update Documents in a Repository

The following table lists fetch actions that update documents in a repository.

Action Description Method to override
/action=fetch&fetchaction=Delete Delete specified documents from the repository. Remove
/action=fetch&fetchaction=Insert Insert a document or documents into a repository. Insert
/action=fetch&fetchaction=Update Update the metadata for specified documents in the repository. Update
/action=fetch&fetchaction=Hold Apply a legal hold to the specified documents in the repository. Hold
/action=fetch&fetchaction=ReleaseHold Remove a legal hold from the specified documents in the repository.

Like the Collect fetch action (see Retrieve Documents from a Repository), these actions are passed a collection of IDocInfo objects, each of which contains an identifier. Like the Collect fetch action, Success or Failed must be called on each object to indicate whether the document was processed successfully.

The IDocInfo objects passed to Delete, Hold, ReleaseHold and Update contain identifiers of documents that exist in the repository. The IDocInfo objects passed to Update also contain the metadata to set in the repository.

The IDocInfo objects passed to Insert contain document content and metadata, including information about where in the repository the new file should be inserted. This information could be part of the reference, identifier, or metadata. It is up to you to specify what information is required.

If you want to use the Insert action to insert documents that contain only metadata, you must override the GetFeatures method on ConnectorBase to enable insertion of metadata-only documents (this is the only case that this is necessary):

       public override Features GetFeatures()	{
           return base.GetFeatures() | Features.InsertAllowMetadataOnly;
       }
