ecoDMSInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the ecoDMS document management system, allowing users to manage various resources such as archives, documents, classifications, folders, licenses, and more. Specifically, for the Klassifikation (Classification) resource and the Dokumentverknüpfungen entfernen (Remove Document Links) operation, the node removes links between a specified document classification and its associated documents.

Typical use cases include cleaning up or updating document classifications by removing outdated or incorrect document associations. For example, if certain documents are no longer relevant to a classification category, this operation can unlink them efficiently.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the result of the operation. Each item typically contains information about the success or failure of unlinking documents from the specified classification. The exact structure depends on the ecoDMS API response but generally confirms which document links were removed.

If the node supports binary data output in other operations, it would represent files or document contents; however, for this operation, the output is purely JSON-based status information.

Dependencies

• Requires connection to an ecoDMS server via its REST API.
• Needs an API authentication token or credentials configured in n8n to access the ecoDMS instance.
• The server URL must be set in the credentials; otherwise, the node will throw an error.
• No additional external services are required beyond the ecoDMS API.

Troubleshooting

• Error: "Server-URL ist nicht konfiguriert."
  This indicates that the ecoDMS server URL is missing in the node's credentials configuration. To fix this, ensure the server URL is correctly entered in the credential settings.

• Unsupported Resource Error
  If you select a resource not supported by the node, it will throw an error indicating the resource is unsupported. Verify the resource name matches one of the supported options.

• API Errors from ecoDMS
  Errors returned by the ecoDMS API during unlinking may occur due to invalid classification IDs, network issues, or permission problems. Check the classification ID validity and your user permissions in ecoDMS.

• Empty or Unexpected Output
  If no document links are removed, verify that the classification ID actually has linked documents. Also, confirm that the operation parameter is correctly set to remove document links.
