ecoDMSInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the ecoDMS document management system, specifically focusing on retrieving detailed classification attributes of documents. It allows users to fetch metadata attributes used for classifying documents within ecoDMS. This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate document categorization, extract classification details for reporting, or filter documents based on specific classification criteria.

A practical example: You have a workflow that processes incoming documents and needs to check certain classification attributes (e.g., department, confidentiality level) before routing them further. Using this node operation, you can retrieve those attributes dynamically and use them in your automation logic.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the detailed classification attributes retrieved from ecoDMS. Each object corresponds to one attribute and includes its metadata such as name, type, possible values, and other relevant details depending on ecoDMS's API response.

If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would typically represent files or attachments, but this operation focuses solely on JSON metadata output.

Dependencies

• Requires connection to an ecoDMS server via an API URL configured in the node credentials.
• Needs a valid API authentication token or key configured in the credentials to access ecoDMS services.
• The node depends on ecoDMS's classification API endpoints to fetch attribute details.
• No additional external services are required beyond ecoDMS itself.

Troubleshooting

• Server URL not configured: The node will throw an error if the ecoDMS server URL is missing in the credentials. Ensure the server URL is correctly set.
• Unsupported resource error: If the resource parameter is set incorrectly, the node will report that the resource is unsupported. Make sure "Klassifikation" (Classification) is selected.
• API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect credentials may cause failures when fetching classification attributes. Verify network access and credential validity.
• Empty attribute filter: Leaving the attribute filter empty returns all attributes, which might result in large payloads. Use filters to limit data volume if needed.
