Hi All,

We'd like to access files in repository folder of ThingA from another things which are in the same project like ThingB.

Can we do that ?

Hi @Yoshihiko.N 

 

This is definitely possible to copy files from one Repository to another. Please refer to this  link for more details on how to achieve this use-case.

 

You can also make use of Copy Service of FileTransferSubsystem which gives an option to select source and target repository.

 

Do revert back for further query.

    @suverma 

    Thank you for your quick response.

    I confirmed we can use "copy" service in "FileTransferSubsystem".
    and I have one more question.

     

    How can we call the copy service from services in other things ?

    if you provide me code example, I'd be happy.

    Hi @Yoshihiko.N 

     

    You can try something like below in your custom service where Thing A and Thing B can be your source and target repository: 

    Spoiler

    var params = {

    async: false /* BOOLEAN */,

    sourceRepo: "RepoThing" /* STRING */,

    targetRepo: "TargetRepo" /* STRING */,

    targetFile: "Openssl command.txt" /* STRING */,

    targetPath: "/" /* STRING */,

    sourceFile: "Openssl command.txt" /* STRING */,

    sourcePath: "/" /* STRING */,

    timeout: undefined /* INTEGER */

    };

    // result: INFOTABLE dataShape: FileTransferJob

    var result = Subsystems["FileTransferSubsystem"].Copy(params);
