Question

Import binary data with database replicator

3

By default it is not possible to import binary data (in this case PDF reports). Is it possible to write a parser that does the trick? And if, where to insert in the user interface of the database replicator? Format with microflow?

No this is not possible. The data is buffered in memory before the database changes are processed and saved in a batch. A bunch of pdf would overrun the system memory.

Using a microflow doesn't work either. The code is not supporting it and it is the jar file. So it can't be changed.

The only way around it to write a custom query and create the filedocument directly from the source.
