Files administrative commands

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

Administrative commands

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

• 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.

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 application. If you do not know the cell name, type the following command while in the wsadmin command processor:

    ```
    print AdminControl.getCell()
    ```

For example:

-   Linux™:

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

-   Microsoft™ Windows™:

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

-   IBM® i:

    ```
    FilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/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.

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 regardless of operating system.

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 stores extra files that were not found in the database.

For more information see the topic *Checking Files data integrity*.

Parameters:

extraFileDirectory
:   Specifies a directory in which to store binary files from the file system extra files directory that are not present in the database metadata. 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.

FilesDataIntegrityService.syncAllExternalReferences : When a file is attached to a microblog, also referred to as a status update, the Files database maintains the association. The association is visible in the file’s Sharing tab as the message, This file is associated with one or more status updates. If needed, you can manually synchronize files with their associated status updates using the following procedure.

1.  Open the wasadmin console using the `wsadmin -lang jython` command.
2.  Run the command`execfile("filesAdmin.jy")`.
3.  Run the command `FilesDataIntegrityService.syncAllExternalReferences('microblog')`.

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
    -   RenditionDailyGeneration



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:

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

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, 2012:

```
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*](t_admin_files_backup.md) for more information.

fileID
:   The ID of a file in the following standard Universally Unique Identifier \(UUID\) format: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000.

For example:

```
FilesUtilService.getFileById("2d93497d-065a-4022ae25-a4b52598d11a")
```

FilesObjectTypeService

Use these commands to import and export custom Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) object types, and delete or browse imported CMIS object types. See Files CMIS API in the API wiki for details.

FilesObjectTypeService.importType("filePath") : Imports an XML file defining a custom object type.

**Note:** The Files application must be restarted after an object type has been imported before the new object type can be accessed and used by the system.

Parameters:

filePath
:   The path and name of the XML file containing the object type definition.

For example:

```
FilesObjectTypeService.importType("C:/CMIS/object_types/objectType.xml")
```

FilesObjectTypeService.exportType("filePath", "Id") : Exports an XML file defining a custom object type.

Parameters:

filePath
:   The path and name of the XML file containing the custom object type definition.

Id
:   The ID of the custom object type to be exported. Object type IDs are located in the object type's XML definition file.

For example:

```
FilesObjectTypeService.exportType("C:/CMIS/object_types/objectType.xml", "f0d01111-9b21-4dd8-b8be-8825631cb84b")
```

FilesObjectTypeService.deleteType("Id") : Deletes an imported custom object type.

**Note:** The Files application must be restarted after a custom object type has been deleted.

Parameters:

Id
:   The ID of the custom object type to be deleted. Object type IDs are located in the object type's XML definition file.

For example:

```
FilesObjectTypeService.deleteType("f0d01111-9b21-4dd8-b8be-8825631cb84b")
```

FilesObjectTypeService.browseTypes() : Lists all imported custom object types.

FilesThumbnailService.generateForAllFiles() : Use this command to trigger thumbnail conversion for existing documents that do not have previews. Once executed, the command sends thumbnail-generation events to the Viewer at the rate of one event for two seconds. Events are sent collectively in batches of 150 events each and are recorded in theSystemOut.log file. The duration of completion depends on the number of existing documents that require thumbnails. This command will need to be restarted if the Files application is stopped. The command resumes scanning the database where it left off. A log is generated after the command completes. Typically, a message is sent for every 150 events generated such as 150 events generated, 300 events generated, and so on, which indicates that this command is running correctly.

"restart"
:   Optional string. Using this parameter in the command scans the database from beginning. Without this parameter, the command resumes scanning the database from where it left off. For example:

    ```
    FilesThumbnailService.generateForAllFiles()
    FilesThumbnailService.generateForAllFiles("restart")
    ```
