IDOL OpenText Core Content Connector Help

# Insert

Inserts an item into an OpenText Core Content repository.

Type: Asynchronous

Parameter Name | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
`Config` | A base-64 encoded configuration. The configuration parameters that are set override the same parameters in the connector's configuration file. | No
`ConfigSection` | The name of the task section in the connector's configuration file to use to insert the documents. | Yes
`failedDirectory` | The directory in which the action reports failures. | No
`InsertXML` | XML that describes how and where to add each document, all the metadata, and optionally, a file to insert for each document. Some connectors require a file. You must provide the data in XML format, as follows:
    <InsertXML>
      <insert>
        <reference>reference</reference>
        <section>configsection</section>
        <property name="propname" value="propvalue"/>
        <!-- ... -->
        <metadata name="fieldname" value="fieldvalue"/>
        <!-- ... -->
        <xmlmetadata>
          <fieldname>fieldvalue</fieldname>
        </xmlmetadata>
        <file>
          <type>type</type>
          <displayname>filename</displayname>
          <content>content</content>
        </file>
        <insert_id>012345</insert_id>
      </insert>
      <!-- ... -->
    </InsertXML>
Most of the tags are optional. You can omit the `insert` tag if you are inserting a single document. `reference`, `property`, `metadata`, `xmlmetadata`. The usage of these tags depends on the connector. For more information about using the `insert` fetch action, refer to Administration Guide for your connector. `xmlmetadata` is an alternative to `metadata` that you can use to provide metadata as structured XML, rather than providing the name and value for a single field at a time. `section`. The name of the task section (in the configuration file) to use to insert the document. The default value is specified by the `ConfigSection` action parameter, but if you specify a different value in the `InsertXML`, the value in the `InsertXML` takes priority. `file`. Specifies information about the file to insert. If you include the `<file>` element, you must include at least `<content>`. `type`. The `type` element specifies the type of data included in the following `<content>` element. Use one of the following values: `file` - The content element contains a file name. The file is not owned by the connector, so the connector does not delete it after the action succeeds. `tempfile` - The content element contains a file name. The file is owned by the connector and is deleted after the action succeeds. `content` - The content element contains the body of the file base64 encoded. `drecontent` - The content element contains the document DRECONTENT. `dataid` - The file has been previously sent to the connector's `DataPort` with the `dataid` set in the content element. `displayname` - used for logging and when writing the data to a temporary file. `insert_id`. This tag is optional and specifies a unique ID for the document. The response to the `insert` fetch action reports which documents were successfully inserted by returning the specified IDs. | Yes
`Override_Config_Parameters` | Any other action parameters that you set override settings in the connector's configuration file. For example:
    /action=fetch&fetchaction=...
                 &[Section]Parameter=Value
where `[Section]` (optional) is the name of a configuration file section, `Parameter` is the name of a configuration parameter, and `Value` is the parameter value. | No

## Example

For examples that demonstrate how to use the insert action, see Insert Information into OpenText Core Content.

## Response

This action is asynchronous, so OpenText Core Content Connector always returns success accompanied by a token. You can use this token with the QueueInfo action to retrieve the status of your request.
