StoragePoint 6.4 - PowerShell and API Reference Guide

BlobAPI Object Reference Code Examples

The MigrateBlob method requires a profile id to represent the profile of the content store to migrate to. This can be obtained in couple of different ways:

·Create a No Scope profile in StoragePoint. The ID will be displayed by StoragePoint on the Profiles screen. No Scope profiles are designed specifically for use with the MigrateBlob API.

·Use the ProfileAPI class to look up a profile by site collection id or web app id and  then obtain the ID from the ProfileAPI object (i.e. the ProfileId property).

The following is an example of using the BlobAPI object to migrate content from one profile to another.

          BlobAPI blobAPI = new BlobAPI();

           blobAPI.MigrateBlob(properties.ListItem,

new Guid("FBCA353D-2BF9-4d50-8827-D0760420D86D"));

The following is an example of using the BlobAPI object to retrieve large file size in Kb.

// Method to validate GetLargeFileSize it returns LargeFile (kbs) size in case exists, or -1 other case.

            var _docUrl = "http://win-710b6vpt0vj:1111/Shared%20Documents/alas%20de%20ensueño.flv.aspx";    //Url to the large file document

            using (Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite site = new Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite(_docUrl))

            {

                using (Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())

                {

                    Microsoft.SharePoint.SPListItem item = web.GetListItem(_docUrl);

                    BlobAPI blob = new BlobAPI();

                    Console.WriteLine(blob.GetLargeFileSize(item));

                }

            }

Blob Reference API

The Blob Reference API exposes the ability to determine the BLOB file corresponding to a given SharePoint document. This API exposes functionality similar to the Details screen in StoragePoint.

The BlobReferenceAPI object represents an external BLOB file on the blob store. There is a method for obtaining all of the blob references for a given SharePoint document (by url).  This API must be called on a server in the SharePoint farm and the user running the code must have administrative rights in SharePoint.

BlobReferenceAPI Object Reference

Method Reference

The following methods are provided by the BlobReferenceAPI object:

Property Reference

The BlobReferenceAPI object has many properties that provide information about the exposed BLOB file.

BlobReferenceAPI Code Example

The static GetBlobRefsForDoc method of the BlobReferenceAPI class will return all of the external BLOB files associated with a given document URL in SharePoint. Since SharePoint can have multiple publishing versions and regular versions associated with a single document URL, this method returns a list of all of the relevant BLOBs

The following is an example of using the BlobReferenceAPI object to retrieve all of the BLOB file references associated with an URL and iterating through the results :

List<BlobReferenceAPI> blobRefs = BlobReferenceAPI.GetBlobRefsForDoc(“http://site1/web1/lib/file.docx”);

    foreach (BlobReferenceAPI blobRef in blobRefs)

     {

        MessageBox.Show("Blob Found: " + blobRef.DocType.ToString() +

            ", Size=" + blobRef.BlobSize +

            ", Version: " + blobRef.Version +

            ", Publishing Level: " + blobRef.DocLevel.ToString() +

            ", File Path: " + blobRef.FilePath);

     }
