Files administrative commands 

---

Use these commands to perform administrative tasks for Files. No file checkout or server restart is needed when using these commands.

The following sections define administrative commands you can use when working with Files. Each section describes the commands for a specific service.

• FilesConfigService
• FilesMemberService
• FilesLibraryService
• FilesDataIntegrityService
• FilesPrintService
• FilesScheduler
• FilesPolicyService
• FilesMetricsService
• FilesUtilityService
• FilesObjectTypeService
  

Many commands ask for IDs as input parameters, such as library IDs, user IDs, policy IDs, and file IDs. You can use commands that take parameters you do know to return data including the ID you are looking for. For example, run FilesMemberService.getByEmail(string email) providing a user's email address and among the data returned is the user's ID. You can also find IDs using feeds. See the Lotus Connections API documentation for information on getting ID information using feeds.

FilesConfigService

FilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("<working_directory>", "<cell_name>")

Checks Files configuration files out to a temporary directory. Run from the wsadmin command processor.

<working_directory>
Temporary working directory to which the configuration files are copied. The files are kept in this working directory while you make changes to them.
<cell_name>
Name of the WebSphere® Application Server cell hosting the Lotus® Connections application. If you do not know the cell name, type the following command while in the wsadmin command processor:



print AdminControl.getCell()



For example:

• AIX/Linux:

FilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir", "CommServerNode01Cell")



• Microsoft® Windows®:

FilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("c:/temp","foo01Cell01")

FilesConfigService.showConfig()

Displays the current configuration settings. You must check out the configuration files with FilesConfigService.checkOutConfig() before running FilesConfigService.showConfig().

FilesConfigService.updateConfig("<quick_config_property>", "<new_value>")

Updates configuration properties.
<quick_config_property>
Property in the files-config.xml configuration file expressed as a quick config command. For example the quick config value for following property:



<security>

<logout href="/files/ibm_security_logout" />

</security>



is this:


security.logout.href



See Files configuration properties for configuration properties and descriptions.

<new_value>
The new value for the property. Property values can be restricted, for example to either true or false. See Files configuration properties for configuration properties and descriptions.

For example, to set the scheduledTasks.MetricsDailyCollection.enabled property to false, use the following command:



FilesConfigService.updateConfig("scheduledTasks.MetricsDailyCollection.enabled", "false")

FilesConfigService.checkInConfig()

Checks in Files configuration files. Run from the wsadmin command processor.

Returns the total number of Community libraries.

FilesLibraryService.getPersonalOrphanCount()

Returns the total number of personal libraries whose owners were removed from the user directory.

FilesLibraryService.exportSyncedResourceInfo(string fullpathForOutput, string type)

Returns a report of all of the communities that the Files application has interacted with. After a system crash you can compare the report to the latest metadata in the Communities database to help synchronize and update any missing data. See the topic Comparing remote application data with the Communities database for more information.

Note that in clusters, when you run the command from the deployment manager the path and file are created on the server running Files. In clusters where multiple nodes are running Files, you are asked choose a server to connect to and run the command on, and then the path and file are created on that server.

Parameters:

fullPathforOutput
The full path location where you want the report, and the report filename, as a string in quotes. The report is an XML file. Use forward slashes ("/") in the path, even on Microsoft Windows computers.
type
This is always the string value, "community" (including quotes). An error is returned if this is anything except "community".

For example:



FilesLibraryService.exportSyncedResourceInfo("c:/connections/sync/community_output.xml", "community")

FilesDataIntegrityService

FilesDataIntegrityService.checkFiles(string extraFileDirectory)

Checks the integrity of the binary files in the file system extra files directory against the metadata in the database, and prints results to log files in a specified directory. The database is used as the primary source, as during a back up the file system is assumed to have extra data, if there is any.

The task logs a message for every extra file found, or every missing file. Missing files are errors that must be resolved (by finding the files or restoring a backup) before the application can start in a consistent state.

This information might be useful before restoring database and file system images, to see how closely they match in a test environment. For more information see the topic Checking Files data integrity.

Parameters:

extraFileDirectory
A directory path location to output the log file. If the directory does not exist, the command creates it. If the directory cannot be created, or read or written to, an error is returned.

For example:



FilesDataIntegrityService.checkFiles("C:/files_integrity")

FilesDataIntegrityService.syncAllCommunityShares()

Ensure that files that have been shared with communities from Files are correctly synchronized. If the name or the access level of a community has changed, the command updates the Files data store to reflect those changes. If the community no longer exists, the shared files still exist in the Files applications; the file owners still own and have full access to that content even though it is no longer shared.

FilesPrintService

FilesPrintService.saveToFile(string object, string filePath, string append)

Prints information returned by other commands to a file.

Parameters:

object
A command with parameters that returns a Map or List<Map> java object. You can use any of the following commands:

• FilesMemberService.getById (returns a Map)
• FilesMemberService.getByExtId (returns a Map)
• FilesMemberService.getByEmail (returns a Map)
• FilesLibraryService.getById (returns a Map)
• FilesLibraryService.getPersonalByOwnerId (returns a Map)
• FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal (returns a List<Map>)
• FilesLibraryService.browseCommunity (returns a List<Map>)
• FilesLibraryService.browsePersonalOrphan (returns a List<Map>)
• FilesPolicyService.getById (returns a Map)
• FilesPolicyService.browse (returns a List<Map>
   
  )
• FilesMetricsService.browsePersonal (returns a List<Map>)
• FilesMetricsService.browseCommunity (returns a List<Map>)
  
  
filePath
A path to a file in which to save the object data. The data is saved in comma-separated value (.csv) format.
append
string whose default value is "true". Change to "false" to have the command overwrite the existing file instead of appending the data in the existing file.

For example:



FilesPrintService.saveToFile(FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal("title", "true", 1, 25), "/opt/wsadmin/LibraryMap.csv")

FilesScheduler

FilesScheduler.pauseSchedulingTask(string taskName)

Suspends scheduling of a task. Has no effect on currently running tasks. Returns a 1 to indicate that the task has been paused. Paused tasks remain paused until you explicitly resume them, even if the server is stopped and restarted.

Parameters:

taskName
Any one of these task names, as a string value:

• DirectoryGroupSynch
• FileActuallyDelete
• SearchClearDeletionHistory
• MetricsDailyCollection
• TagUpdateFrequency
  
 

For example:



FilesScheduler.pauseSchedulingTask("DirectoryGroupSynch")

FilesScheduler.resumeSchedulingTask(string taskName)

Resumes the start of a paused task. Returns a 1 to indicate that the task has been resumed.

Parameters:

taskName
Any one of these task names, as a string value:

• DirectoryGroupSynch
• FileActuallyDelete
• SearchClearDeletionHistory
• MetricsDailyCollection
• TagUpdateFrequency
  
  
For example:



FilesScheduler.resumeSchedulingTask("DirectoryGroupSynch")

FilesScheduler.forceTaskExecution(string taskName, string executeSynchronously)

Executes a task. Returns a 1 to indicate that the task has been executed.

Property settings in the files-config.xml configuration properties file specify whether tasks are enabled to run automatically, and how often. This command allows you to run tasks manually, for example if you disabled a task but want to run it occasionally.

Parameters:

taskName
Any one of these task names, as a string value:
• DirectoryGroupSynch
• FileActuallyDelete
• SearchClearDeletionHistory
• MetricsDailyCollection
• TagUpdateFrequency
  
  
executeSynchronously
Takes the string values true or false. Specifying this value is not required; the default is false. If this value is false, then the task executes asynchronously, meaning if the taskId is valid the command returns immediately and the execution continues in the background. If this value is true, it the command does not return until the task completes.

For example:



FilesScheduler.forceTaskExecution("DirectoryGroupSynch")

FilesScheduler.getTaskDetails(string taskName)

Displays status of a task. Returns detailed status message.

Parameters:

taskName
Any one of these task names, as a string value:

• DirectoryGroupSynch

For example:



FilesScheduler.getTaskDetails("DirectoryGroupSynch")

FilesPolicyService

FilesPolicyService.add(string title, long maximumSize)

Creates a policy with a specified title and maximum size. Policies set a maximum size limit on libraries.

When a policy is created, an ID is created for it and returned to you. The ID is in the following standard Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) format: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000. You must provide policy IDs as parameters when running other FilesPolicyService commands. Policies can be applied to libraries using the FilesLibraryService.assignPolicy or FilesLibraryService.assignPolicyBatch commands.

A library is a set of files owned by a person or community. It includes all versions of the files, but does not include metadata such as comments.

Parameters:

title
The policy title. A required value.
maximumSize
The maximum size allowed, in bytes. Must be zero or greater. A value of zero means the size is unlimited.

Numbers 2GB or greater are long literals, and you must add an "L" to the end of the number, for example a policy of 2GB must be 2147483648L.

For example:



FilesPolicyService.add("My Policy", 2147483648L)

FilesPolicyService.edit(string policyId, string title, long maximumSize)

Edits the title and maximum size of a policy with a specified ID. If the ID is for a default policy, the title is not modified. Policies set a maximum size limit on libraries. A library is a set of files owned by a person or community. It includes all versions of the files, but does not include metadata such as comments.

Parameters:

policyID
The policy ID in the following standard Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) format: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.
title
The policy title. A required value.
maximumSize
The maximum size allowed, in bytes. Must be zero or greater. A value of zero means the size is unlimited.

Numbers 2GB or greater are long literals, and you must add an "L" to the end of the number, for example a policy of 2GB must be 2147483648L.

For example:



FilesPolicyService.edit("2d93497d-065a-4022ae25-a4b52598d11a", "My Policy", 2147483648L)

FilesPolicyService.getById(string policyId)

Returns information for a single policy specified by an ID. Policies set a maximum size limit on libraries. A library is a set of files owned by a person or community. It includes all versions of the files, but does not include metadata such as comments.

Parameters:

policyId
The policy ID in the following standard Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) format: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000. The following information is returned:

• id: the ID
• title: the policy title
• maximumSize: the maximum size (in bytes) the library can be, or 0 for unlimited
  
  
For example:



FilesPolicyService.getById("2d93497d-065a-4022ae25-a4b52598d11a")

FilesPolicyService.browse(string sortOption, string sortAscending, int pageNumber, int itemsPerPage)

Returns a list of policies with ID, title, and maximum size information, as described for the FilesPolicyService.getById(id) command. Policies set a maximum size limit on libraries. A library is a set of files owned by a person or community. It includes all versions of the files, but does not include metadata such as comments.

Parameters:

sortOption
A string value that specifies how to sort the list. The default value is title, but you can also use maximumSize.
sortAscending
A string value that specifies whether the list sorts in ascending alphabetical order. This depends on sortOption. If sortOption is title, then this value is true; if sortOption any other value, then this value is false.
pageNumber
The number of the page to return. For example, if the itemsPerPage value is 40, and pageNumber value is 2, the command returns items 41 to 80 (page 2) instead of 1 to 40 (page 1).
itemsPerPage
The maximum number of policies to list per page. The default value is 20.

For example:



FilesPolicyService.browse("title", "true", 1, 25)

FilesPolicyService.getCount()

FilesUtilityService

FilesUtilService.filterListByString(List listOfMaps, string filterKey, string regexstringCriteria)

Returns maps from a specified list that have a specified key matching a specified regular expression. Use this command to filter List<Map> java objects that are returned by any of the browse commands, such as FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal and FilesPolicyService.browse.

A map is a list of key/value pairs, for example the FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal command returns a list of personal libraries. Each library in the list is a map with a set of keys, and each key is paired with a value. Every library has the same set of keys, but unique values. Values contain information about the library, such as its title and creation date.

Parameters:

listOfMaps
A list of maps, for example the result of a command, such as FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal(<parameters>).
filterKey
A key in each map in the list, whose value is compared against the filter criteria.
regexstringCriteria
A regular expression represented as a string to match against the filterKey value. For example, "[0-9]+" to match only >= 1 numbers in a row.

The command returns maps from the listOfMaps whose filterKey is the regexstringCriteria value. For example, this command shows only the returned maps whose title values match the expression "John*":



FilesUtilService.filterListByString(FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal("title", "true", 1, 25), "title", "John*")

FilesUtilService.filterListByDate(list listOfMaps, string filterKey, expression)

Returns maps from a specified list that have a specified key with a specified date. Use this command to filter List<Map> java objects that are returned by any of the browse commands, such as FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal and FilesPolicyService.browse.

A map is a list of key/value pairs, for example the FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal command returns a list of personal libraries. Each library is a map with a set of keys, and each key is paired with a value. Every library has the same set of keys, but unique values. Values contain information about the library, such as its title and creation date.

Parameters:

listOfMaps
A list of maps, for example the result of FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal(<parameters>).
filterKey
A key in each map in the list, whose value is compared against the filter criteria.
expression
A string of the form <operator> <date> where <date> is in yyyy-MM-dd format and <operator> is one of the following: > >= == <= <

The command returns maps from the listOfMaps value whose filterKey value is the expression value. For example, this command shows only the returned maps whose creation date is on or later than January 1, 2010:



FilesUtilService.filterListByDate(FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal("title", "true", 1, 25), "createDate", ">=2010-01-01")

FilesUtilService.filterListByNumber(List listOfMaps, string filterKey, expression)

Returns maps from a specified list that have a specified key with a specified number. Use this command to filter List<Map> java objects that are returned by any of the browse commands, such as FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal and FilesPolicyService.browse.

A map is a list of key/value pairs, for example the FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal command returns a list of personal libraries. Each library is a map with a set of keys, and each key is paired with a value. Every library has the same set of keys, but unique values. Values contain information about the library, such as its title and creation date.

Parameters:

listOfMaps
A list of maps, for example the result of FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal(<parameters>).
filterKey
A key in each map in the list, whose value is compared against the filter criteria.
expression
A string of the form <operator> <int> where <int> is an integer and <operator> is one of the following: > >= == <= <

The command returns maps from the listOfMaps value whose filterKey value is the expression value. For example, this command shows only the returned maps whose percentUsed value (which reflects the percent of the library's available space that is currently used) is 20:



FilesUtilService.filterListByNumber(FilesLibraryService.browsePersonal("title", "true", 1, 25), "percentUsed", "==20")

FilesUtilService.getFileById(string fileID)

Returns the file path location of the file identified by a provided file ID. Returns a path even if the file is not in use.

Use this command to find the location of any file stored in the shared file directory. This can be useful when restoring backup versions of data. See the topic Backing up Files data for more information.

fileID
