Using MarkLogic Content Pump (mlcp)

Installing the Source Documents

When you complete this exercise, the Documents database should contain the following documents. The documents are inserted into a collection named “gs-samples” for easy reference.

  • /redact-gs/sample1.xml

  • /redact-gs/sample2.json

Follow the steps in this procedure to install two sample documents in the Documents database.

  1. Change directory to the data directory you created in Creating a Work Area. You should be in your redact-gs/data directory.

  2. Copy the following text into a file named sample1.xml:

    <personal>
  <name>Little Bopeep</name>
  <summary>Seeking lost sheep. Please call 123-456-7890.</summary>
  <id>12-3456789</id>
</personal>

  3. Copy the following text into a file name sample2.json:

    {"personal": {
  "name": "Jack Sprat", 
  "summary": "Free nutrition advice! Call (234)567-8901 now!",
  "id": "45-6789123"
}}

  4. Run the following mlcp command to insert the sample documents into the Documents database. Modify the connection details as needed to match your environment.

    $ mlcp.sh import -host localhost -port 8000 \
    -username user -password password -mode local \
    -input_file_path . \
    -output_uri_replace ".*/redact-gs/data/,'/redact-gs/'" \
    -output_collections "gs-samples"

You can use Query Console to explore the Documents database and confirm the upload.

The use of -output_uri_replace on the import command line replaces the portion of the default URI that is based on the filesystem location with the fixed directory prefix “/rules/gs”. For more details, see Controlling Database URIs During Ingestion.
