Repository Specification

  • Source Directory: The directory to begin crawling for BFS files.
  • Do not convert metadata keys to lowercase: Federation Services converts all type and field values to lowercase by default. If this is checked all fields will keep their original case
  • Process Folders: Tells the job to process to folders. If checked and the job is rerun for errors, folders will be processed again.
  • Process Files: Tells the job to process files. Check by default
  • Check for multi-valued fields: Will check for commas in field values. If present, they will be added as multivalued fields to the metadata

Output Specification

  • Name: Name of your BFS Auth Connector
  • Output Folder Path: The output directory location where your BFS files will be stored
  • Multi-Value Separator: Multi-value fields will be combined into a list using this separator
  • Include Un-Mapped Properties: If selected, all available properties will be included in the metadata output file. If not selected, only mapped properties will be included in file
  • Inherit ACLs: If selected, inherited ACL properties will be included in the metadata output file.
  • Metadata as XML: Creates a metadata XML file. If not selected, metadata will be stored in a properties file
  • Zip Output: If selected, output will be created as zip files. This option can only be used with batch migrations (i.e. batch size must be greater than 0).
  • Aspect Remove Field Mapping: Takes a JSON string. Remove aspects if the listed fields are not present.

The example of the UI:

{"myaspect:two":["field1","field2"],"myaspect:one":["field1","field2"]}

Meaning that if field 1 or field 2 is not present, do not add the aspects.

DateTime Config (Output)

Note: BFS as an output repository now uses the job’s Repository Time Zone and Output Time Zone fields for time zone conversion
  • Date Format: Date mappings will be converted to this ISO format
  • Date Time Format: DateTme mappings will be converted to this ISO format
