StoragePoint 6.4 - PowerShell and API Reference Guide

Upload Large File API

The Large File Upload API exposes the ability to upload a large file, similar to the Large File Upload interface on the SharePoint document library ribbon. Only one file at a time can be uploaded with this method. Large File Support must be enabled on the SharePoint farm, on StoragePoint General Settings. An active Storage Profile must exist that covers the destination of the uploaded file.

This API must be called on a server in the SharePoint farm and the user running the code must have administrative rights in SharePoint.

Upload Large File API Code Example

The LargeFileUploaderAPI allows a way to upload large files (those greater than the max upload limit for the Web Application) into a SharePoint Document Library, where a StoragePoint profile is configured.

Basic example, without logs and tracking set:

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            var listUrl = "http://server:6003/Shared%20Documents";

            var fullFilename = @"c:\Uploads\smFile10M.txt";

            LargeFileUploaderAPI uploader = new LargeFileUploaderAPI();

            uploader.PerformUploadLargeFile(fullFilename, listUrl);

        }

Example with logs set:

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            LargeFileUploaderAPI uploader = new LargeFileUploaderAPI();

            uploader.log.SetLoggers(Console.WriteLine, Console.WriteLine);

            var listuri = "http://server:3265/sites/siteCollection/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems. aspx?RootFolder=%2Fsites%2FsiteCollection%2FShared%20Documents%2FFolderTest&FolderCTID=0x012000A5FC1D1D7E870B4A97A9E2704833E271&View=%7B835F52A6%2D5514%2D45AD%2D901B%2D8CC94564B3E5%7D";

            var file = @"C: \documents\windows-8-start-screen. png";

            uploader.PerformUploadLargeFile(file, listuri);

        }

Example with logs and tracking usage:

        static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            var listUrl = "http://server:6003/Shared%20Documents";

            var fullFilename = @"c:\Uploads\smFile10M.txt";

            LargeFileUploaderAPI uploader = new LargeFileUploaderAPI();

            uploader.log.SetLoggers(Console.WriteLine, Console.WriteLine);

            uploader.TrackProgress = (long bytesSent, long total) =>

            {

                var percentage = total > 0 ? ((float)bytesSent / (float)total) * 100 : 0;

                Console.WriteLine("{0}  --  {1}  :   {2}%", bytesSent, total, percentage);

            };

            uploader.PerformUploadLargeFile(fullFilename, listUrl);

        }

Validator API

The ValidatorAPI object can be used to verify the identities of endpoints and profiles is correct, before executing commands using that information.
