Upload Files?

Data Abstract
1

Hi,

Has anyone used a DA Client to upload files (very large files) to a DA Server? I have an Relativity Server client. I may have to add the ability to upload files and tie the uploads to data. If I replace RS with a DA server, can I accomplish this? I can use Soft Artisans’ FileUp to upload the files, but I have better data logging potential, if I can do it with DA.

Thanks,

David

Hello David.

Yes, it is possible to upload large files from DataAbstract client to DataAbstract server. Please note, that it is better to upload not a whole file but upload the file in chunks. RemObjects SDK contains a sample “Extended File Transfer” (see it at “C:\Users\Public\Documents\RemObjects Samples\RemObjects SDK for .NET\C#\Extended File Transfer”). It shows how to use file chunks but to download file, not to upload. You can use parts of this sample in your project. Corresponding article you can find at “http://wiki.remobjects.com/wiki/Extended_File_Transfer_Sample_(.NET)”

Thanks.

Andre,

Thanks for the response. Is there are article that shows what’s involved in converting from an RS server to a DA server? Obviously, I won’t be able to upload files through RS.

Thanks,

Every DataAbstract Server can be used as SDK server. You need to open .RODL file, add custom operation into DataAbstract service and add corresponding implementation to upload a file. Please take a look at the article http://wiki.remobjects.com/wiki/How_to_Write_a_RemObjects_SDK_Server_(.NET) starting from “RODL file: proxy, stub and implementation files” part. It shows how to create and implement custom method.

Obviously, I won’t be able to upload files through RS.

Yes, Relativity Server doesn’t provide functionality that allows to add custom methods.

Thanks.
