The tdsync Command-Line Utility

The Titania Delivery Client Connector SDK includes a number of command-line utilities to automate the syncing of content and metadata from the local file system to Titania Delivery Projects. The primary command-line tool is called tdsync, a tool for synchronizing a file system folder with a folder or project in Titania Delivery. This tool also includes a number of other advanced features, including the ability to sync more than one folder simultaneously, to upload metadata along with the files, and a "watched folders" feature for automatically uploading files as they are updated locally.

In this section:

  1. Simple Usage
    This simple procedure will allow you to set up and run a file system sync with a file system folder using the tdsync command-line utility.
  2. Configuration
    The tdsync command-line utility requires a number of settings to function correctly. These values can be specified via a configuration file or via command-line parameter.
  3. Syncing Multiple Folders
    The tdsync tool can be used to synchronize multiple folders in a single run, and to watch multiple folders for changes simultaneously.
  4. Runtime Parameters
    In addition to the configuration settings, there are several command-line parameters that control the runtime behavior of the tdsync tool.
  5. Setting Metadata
    The tdsync tool has an extensible mechanism for loading the metadata associated with files being synced. By default, it can load metadata from a JSON file, from a CSV file, or from metadata artifacts generated from certain Content Management System exports. Custom metadata drivers can be implemented in Java.
