Share Assets from one site to other - OWCS

shareAsset.md

General steps to follow:

1. Enable the asset type at target website.
2. Pass c, cid and run=true from site entry (if run=false, or missing from site entry, assets won't be shared).
3. Fetch the list of asset_id to be shared for the given asset_type
4. From that list remove all the asset_id's that have been alredy shared (we don't want our element to load assets that are alredy been shared)
5. Invoke asset:share tag fo all the asset_id's
6. Prints the output in asset_id : asset_name format, also displays error's occured, if any and total number of successfully shared assets.

Share Assets using API instead of tags

Session sessionObject = SessionFactory.getSession();
ServicesManager serviceHandle = (ServicesManager)sessionObject.getManager(ServicesManager.class.getName());
AssetService service = serviceHandle.getAssetService();

AssetId assetIdInstance = new AssetIdImpl(assetType,Long.valueOf(id));

List<Long> idList = new ArrayList<Long>();
idList.add(Long.valueOf("1374098698899")); // source_pub_id
idList.add(Long.valueOf("1492586991364")); // target_pub_id

boolean isShared = service.share(assetIdInstance, idList); // returns true if sharing is successful 

NOTE : Please add services-api and services-impl jar to your classpath!
