BI4 Uploading Multiple .pdf Documents to CMS

[system]

Hi there,
No Publishing Wizard in BI4 so this task has to be performed using SDK.
Has anybody attempted doing this.
Any pointers appreciated, should i use Java SDK or could i write a VBA script (not sure if this requires SDK as well)

regards
Goodwin

Goodwin,

Someone has posted code for doing this in earlier versions of BO via VBA script in Excel. See this thread:

Publishing agnostic docs

Hi, I had a need to publish several hundred PDFs to Infoview and did not want to do it by hand. I wasn’t able to find any sample code, so I thought that what I wrote might be useful to someone else. I wrote this as an Excel VBA macro, although it doesn’t actually use Excel. The code recurses through a given UNC path, publishing all found files into Infoview, keeping the folder structure intact. I’ve only tested it with PDFs, but it should work with all other types. Joe Option Explicit Di…

It’s possible this could be modified for 4.0.

Also, I have sample C# code on my website for doing this in an earlier version of BOE - http://www.dellstinnett.com/sample_code.html, look for “BOEPublishFiles”. I doubt the SDK’s have changed that significantly, so this should at least get you started. Also, I’m getting ready to start playing in the 4.0 SDK, so I might be able to post something for this in the near future.
