Uploading multiple files in SAP portal KM folder

Portal allows us to upload one file at a time in the Knowledge management.

Sometimes the requirement is to upload more than one file, maybe one full folder having multiple folders and files inside this.

This can be achieved by using the portal drive or webdav client and putting the folder in the desired location in the KM.

SAP Portal 7.3 has the feature of multiple files but there also you cannot upload folder with complete structures.

So, for this kind of requirement where you cannot use Portal Drive or Webdav Client because of security issues and all, we can use a utility like this which allows us to upload a zip file and then open the zip file and extract the files and upload the files.

We will use KM APIs with web dynpro java to upload a zip file of the folders and then using ZIP java classes to extract the files from zip file and creating the files and folders in KM in the same structure.

We need to create a File upload UI element and one button in the web dynpro view.

Create the context like below

Where filedata is of type “binary”, filepath is of type “String”

KMpath “String” -> this context will be used to store the path where we want to store the extracted files.

View layout should be like below.

Bind the property “data” to filenode.filedata

Create one event for button “Upload”. In the event handler we need to write the code to upload zip file and then extracting it.

Full code with eventhandlers and other hook method coding is shown below.

a. In the wddoinit method write the following code

//@@begin wdDoInit() try { IFilenodeElement fileelement = wdContext.nodeFilenode().createFilenodeElement();

if (fileelement != null) {

wdContext.nodeFilenode().bind(fileelement);

IWDAttributeInfo attInfo = wdContext.nodeFilenode().getNodeInfo().getAttribute( “filedata” );

ISimpleTypeModifiable type = attInfo.getModifiableSimpleType();

IWDModifiableBinaryType binaryType = (IWDModifiableBinaryType) type;

} else {

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportWarning(“error”);

} }

catch (Exception e) {

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(” catch error” + e);

}

wdContext.currentContextElement().setKMpath(“/wpccontent/Sites/~~~ /”); // setting the KM path where the zip file will bw uploaded and extracted. //@@end

b. Write the following code in the others section in the implementation which contains some methods and we can create these methods separately also.

//@@begin others

IFilenodeElement fileelement = null;

// getzipfiles method is the method which opens the zip file and places the content in the specified location

And that’s it.

You can upload multiple files or many folders to any specified locations.
