Script syntax

IBM RPA's proprietary script language has a syntax similar to other programming languages. The script syntax defines the command's syntax in the script file. You can work with this syntax in IBM RPA Studio's Script mode.

uploadStorage --fileSystem(FileSystem) --source(String) --target(String)

• Use one of the following commands to connect to a storage provider:
  • Connect to Dropbox (dropboxConnect)
  • Connect to Google Drive (googleDriveConnect)
  • Connect to Microsoft OneDrive (oneDriveConnect)
• You must use a valid storage provider connection. See Storage providers for more information.

Input parameters

The following table displays the list of input parameters available in this command. In the table, you can see the parameter name when working in IBM RPA Studio's Script mode and its Designer mode equivalent label.

Example

Example 1:
This example uploads a PDF file to the books folder on the target storage provider.

defVar --name drive --type FileSystem
defVar --name books --type String
googleDriveConnect --name googleDrive drive=value
createDir --path "/books" --fileSystem ${drive} books=value
uploadStorage --fileSystem ${drive} --source "C:\\Users\\UserName\\Documents\\name_of_the_book.pdf" --target "${books}/book.pdf"

Example 2:
This example gets many PDF files from the "My Documents" folder and uploads them to the target storage provider.

defVar --name drive --type FileSystem
defVar --name files --type List --innertype String
defVar --name myDocs --type String
defVar --name file --type String
defVar --name filename --type String
dropboxConnect --name dropbox drive=value
getSpecialFolder --folder "MyDocuments" myDocs=value
// Gets PDF files from the My Documents folder
getFiles --path "${myDocs}" --recursive  --filemask "*.pdf" files=value
foreach --collection "${files}" --variable "${file}"
	// Gets the filename to use in the Target parameter
  getFileInfo --path "${file}" filename=name
  // Uploads the current file to the storage provider
	uploadStorage --fileSystem ${drive} --source "${file}" --target "/pdfs/${filename}"
	logMessage --message "Uploading ${file}" --type "Info"
