ecoDMSInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the ecoDMS document management system, enabling users to manage various resources such as archives, documents, classifications, folders, licenses, and searches within ecoDMS. Specifically, the operation "Dokument mit PDF hochladen" (Upload Document with PDF) allows uploading a PDF file as a new document into ecoDMS.

Typical use cases include automating document ingestion workflows where PDFs generated or received in other systems need to be stored and managed in ecoDMS. For example, automatically uploading invoices, contracts, or reports as PDFs into the document archive for further processing or compliance.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the result of the upload operation. Each output item corresponds to one processed input item/document.

• The json field contains metadata about the uploaded document, such as its ID, status, or any response data returned by ecoDMS.
• If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would typically represent files or attachments related to the document, but in this case, the main focus is on uploading PDFs from binary input.

Dependencies

• Requires an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to connect securely to the ecoDMS server.
• The ecoDMS server URL must be configured in the credentials; otherwise, the node will throw an error.
• No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond the ecoDMS API access.

Troubleshooting

• Error: "Server-URL ist nicht konfiguriert."
  This means the ecoDMS server URL is missing in the node's credentials configuration. To fix, provide the correct server URL in the API credentials settings.

• Unsupported Resource Error
  If a resource other than those supported (Archive, Document, Classification, Search, Folder, License, DocumentType) is selected, the node throws an error indicating unsupported resource.

• General Processing Errors
  Any unexpected errors during API calls or processing are wrapped and rethrown with a message "Fehler bei der Verarbeitung" (Error during processing). Check the underlying error details for troubleshooting.

• Binary Property Missing or Incorrect
  If the specified binary property for the PDF does not exist or is empty in the input data, the upload will fail. Ensure the input items contain the PDF binary data under the exact property name configured.
