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 here.
  2. Edit the business rule as defined in the Editing a Business Rule or Function topic here.
  3. In the Edit Operation dialog, add the bind to a business rule, as defined in the Adding a Bind topic in the Reference Materials documentation here.
  4. In the Edit Operation dialog, optionally add Messages, as defined in the Adding a Localized Business Rule Message topic here.
  5. In the Edit Operation dialog, add JavaScript to call the bind.

Example

The following is an example JavaScript that uses this bind.

Important: The 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());
