Switch not checking files into Alfresco via Adobe Drive

Post by arvanasse »

We've set up Adobe Drive to map an Alfresco instance to a local drive and verified that the mapping works correctly by manually dragging-and-dropping files into the folder and watching them appear in Alfresco.



We're now trying to create a flow in Switch that ultimately copies the files to the Alfresco folder for us. We can watch the files move through the flow without a problem and from the perspective of Switch the files get copied into the Alfresco folder (we can view the folder from within Switch and see them).



Unfortunately, the files never make it to Alfresco. We can log into Alfresco (Web UI, Adobe Drive mapped on another PC) with the same credentials and the files are not present. If we view the folder on the same machine but outside Switch (e.g., Windows Explorer) then we get a right-click context menu with an option to "check in" to Alfresco. It appears that the checkin process is automatically triggered when the files are copied/moved via OS (drag-and-drop) but not when Switch copies them.



Any suggestions as to how we can trigger the checkin process?



(Note: We've also tried using "Execute Command" to copy/move the files into place but the step failed with a non-zero exit code. Open to suggestions along these lines as well if this better takes advantage of the way Adobe Drive works).
