Create Modifiable Transport Requests

Create modifiable transport requests to efficiently manage multiple files in one request.

Prerequisites

  • You are in the transport requests overview. For more information, see Managing Transport Requests.
  • You have at least the authorization of the ExportOperator role for the node that serves as the source node. For more information, see Security.

Context

When creating a modifiable transport request, you select a source node for the transport request and choose whether you want to upload the request to the selected node or not. If it's uploaded to the selected transport node, it's available for import in the import queue of this transport node. Use this option if you want to import content into the source node. If not, the selected transport node is used to export the content and forward it to the import queues of the follow-on nodes.

Procedure

  1. Choose Create.

  2. On the Create Modifiable Transport Request dialog, select or enter the following information:

    Field

    Value

    Source Node

    Select a source node for the transport request.

    All transport nodes that have file uploads enabled can be selected as source nodes.

    Upload in Source Node

    Select the checkbox if you want to import the transport node in the source node. If not, the source node is used to export the content of the transport request from the source node and forward it to the follow-on nodes.

    Content Type

    Select the content type for the files added to the transport request. Ensure that the selected content type matches the content type of the selected source node.

    Description

    Enter a description of the transport request.

  3. Choose Create.

    You've created a modifiable transport request that's still empty.

    You can add any number of files to the modifiable transport request as required.

  4. To add files to the transport request, click anywhere in the transport request row. On the Content tab, choose Add.

  5. Choose Browse, and select a file from your local file system that matches the content type that you specified for the modifiable transport request.

  6. Choose Upload.

    Note:

    The content type of the uploaded file must match the content type selected for the transport request.

Results

You've created a modifiable transport request and added files to it.

You can add more files, remove files, and rearrange them as required.

As long as the transport request isn't yet in Test mode, it isn't yet visible in any import queue.

After you've added all relevant files, you can test the transport request.
