Access repository files from other things

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);
