Setup

Download

You can download the application from OpenKM Download center.

To run the application on your computer you will need Java 8 installed.

Linux configuration

Unzip the Import-station-2.x.zip file at /home/openkm/

Caution

The name of the zip file might have changed.

$ cd /home/openkm
$ unzip Import-station-2.x.zip

In the /home/openkm/import-station/  folder you will have the following contents:

• JAR file of the import-station application.
• plugins folder: which contains the list of available plugins.
• import-station.cfg: configuration file.
• translations.sql: contains the translation terms of the application.

Register translations

You must register the import-station translations in your OpenKM. The application is used to store the import-station translations.

• Go to your OpenKM at Administration > Tools > Database Query.
• Copy all the SQL contents into the text area.
• Choose the JDBC option from the bottom right.
• Click on the “Execute” button.

Configure connection

Edit the import-station.cfg file with the following values:

Property	Description
okm.url	OpenKM URL http://localhost:8080/openkm/
okm.import.plugins.directory	Path of the plugins directory /home/openkm/import-station/plugins
okm.login.token.expiration  (optional)	Token expiration time in days. By default, it has an expiration time of 24 hours.
