How to Do Mass Update in Alfresco Using CMIS

Question

Is it possible to do mass update using CMIS in alfresco.

I have Different Documents Types and Every Document type is having multiple documents in alfresco repository

Answer 1

the solution that i suggest to do in purpose of doing a lot of updates is to use CMIS query to select object with the same type (document,folder ...) you can learn more about it with Cmis Query

First Step

String query;
query = "SELECT * FROM cmis:document WHERE IN_FOLDER('" + objectId + "')";

and to get all the children

ItemIterable resultList = session.query(query, false);

Note that for a purpose testing i selected in this query all the document that is inside a particular folder

Second Step

for (QueryResult qr : resultList) {

String idDocument = qr.getPropertyByQueryName("cmis:objectId").getFirstValue().toString();
Document doc = (Document) session.getObject(idDocument);

}

Now i use my query to get all the document that i want to update the properties.

Hope that helped you.
