Mark Jordan edited this page Jan 31, 2016 · 1 revision

Overview

Fetcher manipulator to limit CONTENTdm objects in a fetch to ones that meet a test against the object's created on or modified on date.

Toolchains

Can be used with CONTENTdm toolchains.

Configuration

To register this manipulator in your toolchain, add the following line to the "[MANIPULATORS]" section of your .ini file, for example:

fetchermanipulators[] = "CdmByDmDate|dmcreated|<|2012-02-14"

Parameters

This manipulator takes three parameters.

  1. 'dmcreated' or 'dmmodified' (CONTENTdm's internal attributes containing an object's created date and modified date, respectively)
  2. One of the comparison operators '<', '>', or '='.
  3. A date in yyyy-mm-dd format.

Functionality

This fetcher manipulator inspects the specified attribute (dmcreated or dmmodified) of each CONTENTdm object's metadata and includes it or excludes it from the fetch based on a comparison to the date value specified.

The most common use case for this fetcher manipulator is to fetch a set of objects from a CONTENTdm collection that have been added after an earlier fetch.
