On article Uploading Files Locally Using Rest (Linux) we saw examples of how to automate the upload of files to File Management. This article describe methods to automate the management of files on File Manager.

File Management is using an open source application name Droppy, while the upload is done on REST the management itself is done on a web socket. Below examples in Python

Python script to manage files via Droppy socket interface

Script requires installed websocket client library Install via pip: pip install websocket_client
Get Sisense user API token and paste it to apiToken variable(row 12)
Token format should be following 'Bearer TOKEN' (ex. 'Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cC...')
Set sisenseHost variable(row 15) with your Sisense URL (ex. 'https://test.sisense.com')
Starting from row 124 we provide Droppy management function examples. You can find function for deleting, moving, renaming, etc..
Each function can be run independently or together with others (To run a couple functions you need to uncomment all of them)

Compatible with Linux Version <= L2021.3

DELETING FILE OR FOLDER(OBJECT):

Copy object location from Droppy (For ex. '/connectors/genericjdbc/manifest.json')
Note that object path should NOT end with '/'(ex. '/connectors/genericjdbc/manifest.json/' is wrong)
Find deleteObject function commented (row 125)
Uncomment this line (Remove # from the beggining of the row)
Paste the object location to the function as a second argument ( deleteObject(ws,'/connectors/genericjdbc/manifest.json') )
Run python script (Open CMD and type 'python droppyFileManager.py')
Object should be deleted
Close droppyFileManager.py without saving changes

GET FOLDER CONTENT:

Copy folder location from Droppy (For ex. '/connectors/genericjdbc')
Note that object path should NOT end with '/'(ex. '/connectors/genericjdbc/' is wrong)
Find listFolder function commented (row 131)
Uncomment this line (Remove # from the beggining of the row)
Paste the folder location to the function as a second argument ( deleteObject(ws,'/connectors/genericjdbc') )
Run python script (Open CMD and type 'python droppyFileManager.py')
Folder content should be printed to console (ex. 'File description.json; Modified(UTC) 2020-03-06 15:39:41; Size 472 B')
Close droppyFileManager.py without saving changes
