Overview

Use this Snap to commit changes to a shared library document/file that is in checked out state. Ensure that you use the same account that was used to check out the file/document.

Prerequisites

  • A valid application in Azure Portal with appropriate permissions.
  • A valid Microsoft OneDrive license.
  • Write access on the file to be updated (folder/file location mentioned in the Source Relative Path/ID).
  • The file to check in is checked out already.

Support for Ultra Pipelines

Works in Ultra Pipelines.

Limitations

None.

Known Issues

Snaps in the Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack have an in-built retry mechanism for failing connections and requests; but, a high volume of requests from a client might reach the throttling threshold. In such scenarios, the Microsoft Graph limits further requests from that client for a period of time and returns an HTTP status code 429 (Too many requests), thereby causing the requests to fail. Hence, we recommend you to keep a check on the number of requests emanating from your client instance.

Specify a name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.
Check In FileCheck In File
Shared LibraryString/Expression/SuggestionRequired. Select the Shared Library where the checked out file exists, from the list of suggestions provided.N/AMy Library

String/Expression/Suggestion

Required. Select the Drive where the checked out file exists, from the list of suggestions provided.N/ADocuments
Source Relative Path/IDString/Expression

Required. Enter the relative path for the file to be checked in, beginning with root:/. Alternatively, pass the item ID in this field.

Relative Path and ID

  • Any URL in this field that starts with root:/ is treated as relative path. All other entries (without root:/ at the beginning) are treated as driveItem/file IDs.
  • When the driveItem ID passed is invalid (not a 34-character alphanumeric code such as 014ZXBQNNHW2DJ3CDKQZBJHRYWFWVRRQA2), the Snap returns the error - The resource is not found.

Snap ExecutionDrop-down list

Select one of the three following modes in which the Snap executes:

  • Validate & Execute. Performs limited execution of the Snap and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation, then performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.
  • Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

  • Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps downstream from it.

Troubleshooting

ErrorReasonResolution
Error while Checking in a file with relativePath : root:/CopyNewItemt1661.txt, Reason: 404 : Not Found : The resource could not be found.The specified file is not available in the Drive to check in.

Ensure that the DriveItem/file you want to check in is available in the Drive (with exactly the same name).

Error while Check in a file with relativePath : root:/CopyNewItemt16612.txt, Reason: 400 : Bad Request : The file is not checked out.The specified file must be in checked out state.

Ensure that the DriveItem/file has been duly checked out (and updated) before attempting to check in the file.

Examples

Checking out and checking in files

This Pipeline demonstrates how you can use the Snaps in the Microsoft OneDrive Snap Pack to upload, check out, check in and download files in an authorized Share Library location. It assumes that you have configured your Azure application and the Snap accounts already. The Pipeline uses the following parameters. 

First, we upload a file to a Shared Library location using File Reader Snap, locate it and check out for editing. Then we check in the updated file and download it.

File Reader Snap

Output

After reading the file from the location provided, we upload the file into a Shared Library (location for Shared files within OneDrive). We configure the Snap to replace existing file with this file, if their file names are same.

Upload File Snap

Output

Now that the file is available in the shared location, let us check out the file for editing. To check out the file, we need to capture the file name. We use a Mapper Snap to extract the file name from the Upload file output view.

We pass the extracted file name along with its location (in shared library) using an expression in the Source Relative Path/ID field, for checking out the file.

Check Out File SnapOutput

The Check Out File Snap provides the name of the checked out file in the $Item field and the result of the check out operation. We use a Mapper Snap again to retrieve this value in $Item and pass it to the Check In File Snap — to check in the same file after it is updated.

In the Check In File Snap, we provide the file details in the Source Relative Path/ID field and an editing comment in the Check In Comment field. This Snap outputs a similar information - $Item and Result of the check in operation.

Check In File SnapOutput


Now, we directly pass the value in $Item field of the output to a Download File Snap to download the file. The Snap downloads the file and returns the location where the file is downloaded. In addition to this, the Snap also relays the (original) output from the previous Snap (Check In File Snap).
