Configuring for Dynamic Import use
If this is a new installation, you must create the map files for Dynamic Import in the Contenta Client application.
Map files must be created for all files that are to be imported into the Contenta database. Test all map files in Contenta Client before using in the Contenta Web application. The map files must be copied to the Contenta Web server for access and use by Contenta Web users.
See the Dynamic Import User topics in the Contenta User documentation for information about creating map files.
If you have map files from a previous version of Contenta, you must copy them to the Contenta Web server for access by web users.
Contenta map files must be located on the Contenta Web server in the directory.
- New Installations: Copy the utils.pm and CustomCallbacks.pm files from Contenta_home\encaps\di to Contenta_home\encaps\di\custom.
- Upgrade Installations: If you customized the utils.pm and CustomCallbacks.pm files located in Contenta_home\encaps\di\custom, compare the customized files to the upgradedelivered files in Contenta_home\encaps\di. Edit the files in the custom directory to include the changes delivered by the upgrade in the files in Contenta_home\encaps\di.
If you have not customized the files, copy the utils.pm and CustomCallbacks.pm files from Contenta_home\encaps\di to Contenta_home\encaps\di\custom.
