Uploading a large number of images to DAM

[Shriram_K_M]

Hi,

As part of a process of migrating content, I have written Java code to retrieve binary resource stream given the Internet URL of an image. I then, create a node in the DAM and store this binary stream as its jcr:data property(under renditions/original). I have stopped all the DAM workflows as I don't need any other renditions of the image. The image is getting stored properly, but when I do the same for around 2000 images, the process somehow stops after around 1000 images. I am not storing all the images under the same node(I have a certain hierarchy which is far from the flat-file system, which ensures that there are not more than 100 images under a node).

When I inspect the loggers, I cannot find anything suspicious as well. I'm guessing there is some problem with the indexes that point to the datastore, but I really cannot pin point any particular reason. Am I doing it the correct way, or is there a better way to upload such large numbers of images to the DAM? Please help me out and thanks in advance.

Thanks
Shriram

I guess best way to upload image would be to put them under some path /content/dam/<your path> through virtual file system (Like use webdav to map path in your local file system and write java app to add file there). Then CQ DAM Update workflow should take care of update. If you don’t want rendition you can always update workflow to not create rendition)

Thanks a lot. I will surely try this approach. It would still be nice to find out why the process was getting terminated anyhow.
