Launched using the Cúram batch launcher, the main features of this tool
are as follows:
- The tool downloads the Metadata information of a Dynamic Evidence
Type Version and writes it output as XML file to the file system with a
prefix as as "<EVIDENCE_TYPE_LOGICAL_NAME_EFFECTIVE_DATE> .
- The tool uploads the XML file that contains Metadata information
from the file system by reading its output as blob and update the
Dynamic Evidence Type Version record to a run time Cúram database.
- User are allowed to download and upload Dynamic Evidence Metadata
only one at a time.
- The upload and download utility tool implements three strategies
(the one to be used is determined by the input parameters):
- Location: Name of the location in the file system.
- Evidence Type: This strategy allows users to specify a
logical name of the Dynamic Evidence Type.
- Effective Date: This strategy allows the user to specify
the Effective Date.
- The utility downloads both Active, In Edit and Canceled Evidence
Type versions.
- The utility uploads the Metadata information only for an In Edit
Evidence Type Versions.
- It is the responsible for the user to ensure that the downloaded or
imported Metadata do not break the data consistency within the Cúram
setup.
- The download and upload process can either be run from the command
line or the Eclipse development environment. The rationale is that these
downloaded Metadata can be updated and can be imported back with new
context in to the database using the upload tool.
