Open Source Document Management System | OpenKM

Fantastic product.
I have imported and created 10 folders in the root, named 1 to 10.
Within each of these folders I have created another 10 folders, named 1 to 10.
Within each of these folders in turn are more folders
There are therefore 1000\'s folders.
All the folders already contain files and the solutioin is working well.

NOW FOR THE PROBLEM:
I have the identical folder structure on a separate drive (file system), each folder containing files which need to be imported to OpenKM.
These are 1000\'s of files distributed thoughout this identical folder structure.

When I try importing these files by selecting the root of the folder structure on my drive and the root of OpenKM, the import fails as the folders already exist.
It appears as if the import utility does not have the ability to detect the folder already exists and then continue importing the files.

How can I get around this problem as it would take weeks to check these files in one at a time?

Which repository size are we talking ?
What size is on each folder ?

Depending your answers we\'ll try to suggest some solutions.

probably you\'ve founded a importing bug problem, really importing is thinked to creating new structure not to merging purpose ( that\'s the reason for it happens it to you ).

If you look at the entire tree and substructures, I have aproximately 4000 folders. The import requires to bring 1 file into each of these folders.

Is there a script I can nuse to import one file? If so, I can compile a script to bring in all the files using this as a reference.

There is a public API, so you can program a client to perform this job.

I was more referring to a SQl / console script

Could we add this issue to the buglist?

Actually I don\'t understand the issue. Can you post a (detailed) use case?

Please refer to the first entry of this thread.
1. Our entire folder structure of 3000 folders was successfully imported with all their files.
2. Later we discovered that there was a critical files missing from each of our folders that we imported.
3. We have the identical folder structure with all missing files on a local drive and need to run the import again to add these files to OpenKM.
4. The import fails because it is unable to import if the folders already exist.

The problem I that the import utility from OpenKM didn\'t import all the files? Are these files of the same type?

It was our error, when compiling the folders on the disk for import, we forgot to include these files.

But this is not an issue. You have three options:

1.- Delete all the imported documents & folders, complete all the forgotten documents and import them again.

2.- Upload the forgotten documents individually to OpenKM.

3.- Make a webservices client to perform this job.
