Customized workflow(Upload Dam Asset) duplicate the file and upload to the other ftp

[johnt54373251]

Hi Team,

We are planning customize the Upload Dam Asset workflow with a feature to duplicate the file and upload to the other ftp. Is there any recommendation of the approach and how can we keep the duplicate and ftp to be a async process to release the user from the UI?

Thanks,

John

Hi @johnt54373251 -

There are technically feasible options to sync your Adobe DAM assets to a different server, but the best of them can only be determined based on your use cases, like:
1. Do you want to perform the sync for all the assets / all file types or only a subset of them?

2. Do you want a user to have control over which assets needs to be synced and which not?

3. Do you really want to duplicate the asset binary? or Do you want to have assets binary stored only in one system and have their references in the other?

Nevertheless, some options you can consider to achieve this without impacting the user waiting time on the assets upload screen are:

1. Setup a listener that triggers on asset upload and performs the upload to FTP.

2. Customise DAM Update asset workflow to have an additional step, that uploads the asset to FTP asynchronously.

3. If you need a selective upload, Have a "Publish to FTP" kind of customised option on the assets console and it can do the job as per the user selection.

Thanks!
