File Synchronization

Synchronization is an alternative option to transfer files from a 4ALLPORTAL DAM folder to CHILI publisher's own DAM Feed, conditioned on create, update and delete events. A folder automatically syncs the moment one of these events triggers.

Choose this feature if you want to make assets available without using an External Assets filter.

Configuring a Folder Synchronization

To synchronize a 4ALLPORTAL folder with CHILI, you need to configure a sync like this:

1. Go to 4ALLPORTAL admin snap-in CHILI Publisher Integration/Sync configuration.

2. Create a new sync configuration and be sure to make the following settings:

   • Field CHILI name: Give an individual name for the configuration.
   • Switch Enabled: Activate to enable this connector. If disabled, this configuration's settings will be ignored.
   • Switch Remove empty folders: Activate to enable cleaning up all leftover empty folder (after moving assets)
   • Field URL: Enter your CHILI base URL.
   • Field 4ALLPORTAL Base URL: Enter your 4ALLPORTAL base URL.
   • Field Username: Enter your CHILI publisher username.
   • Field Password: Enter your CHILI publisher password.
   • Field Mount: Enter your 4ALLPORTAL DAM mount.
   • Field Folder path: Enter the 4ALLPORTAL folder path you want to synchronize with CHILI (example: chili/testing/ if you want to sync folder "testing").
   • Field CHILI environment: Enter the CHILI target environment.
   • Field CHILI target folder: Enter the name of the CHILI target folder you want to synchronize with the 4ALLPORTAL.
   • Field Download profile: Enter the name of a download profile for the synchronized assets.
   • Field Download profiles: Enter the name of a download profile left, and a postfix for filename on the right.

3. Save your settings and restart the system.
