Asset Importer Configuration Bind

The Asset Importer Configuration bind is used to create / update asset content with new file content using an Asset Importer Configuration. The bind can be found within the 'Binds to' dropdown, as shown below.

Configuration

To use any bind:

  1. Create a business rule as defined in the Creating a Business Rule, Function, or Library topic.

  2. Edit the business rule as defined in the Editing a Business Rule or Function topic.

  3. In the Edit Operation dialog, add the bind to a business rule, as defined in the Adding a Bind topic in the Resource Materials online help documentation.

  4. In the Edit Operation dialog, optionally add Messages, as defined in the Localized Messages for JavaScript Business Rules topic.

  5. In the Edit Operation dialog, add JavaScript to call the bind.

Example

The following is an example JavaScript that uses this bind.

Important: Example scripts should not be used as-is without thorough testing, including updating the script to match object and link types that exist on your system. JavaScript variable names are case-sensitive.

In the example below, the existing asset is updated via the Asset Importer Configuration so that the asset will be passed through all the steps of asset import configuration.

Copy 
assetImporterConfig.upload(asset.getID()+'impconfig',asset.download(), asset.getValue("asset.filename").getSimpleValue());
