Custom Output Connector - Get Info from which repo a document comes

[Christoph Schwentker <cs...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I have written a Custom Output connector and want to know if it possible to
find out, from which repository a document comes.

E.g. In my output connector I want to distinguish if a document comes from
a database or from the filesystem.

I looked at the documentation and the code but could not really find a way
to achieve this...

So, It would be nice if someone could enlighten  me ;)

Best Regards,
Christoph

Hi Karl,

Thanks for your fast reply.

I added it as metadata field using the metadata adjuster and now I can do
what I want :)

Regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

ManifoldCF does not pass information of this kind through in a document
(your connector in general is not supposed to care about this), but you can
readily add a document metadata value in your job pipeline that will
accomplish the same thing.

Thanks!
Karl
