Azure Storage – Magic xpi Native connector

Goal : Handle Azure Blob Container with a Native Magic xpi connector

1/Prerequisites

Install Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer (* optional) to check the connection with your Azure EndPoint – Account Name – Account Key

All credentials (AccountName, Account Key) can be found in “Primary Connection String” (“Chaine de connexion principale” in french :-))

2/ Download the connector for Azure Storage (Magic xpi 4.14)

(Please contact me to get the source)

Unzip the connector inside <Magic xpi Install directory>\Runtime\addon_connectors

3/ Define an Azure Storage Magic xpi Resource in your project and clic on the Button Validate

4/ Let’s build a flow with 6 steps

In order : Create container=>Upload Object => Download Object => Get BlobsList => Delete Blob => Delete Container

5/ Drag And Drop the Connector and configure it for the first method “Create Container”

Define 2 Flow variables (F.Response (Blob) and F.Success (Logical))

Right clic to configure the connector, set Store Result In and Operation Success with your flow variables and click OK

The connector implements 7 methods

To create a container choose “CreateCloudBlobContainer”

6/ Drag and drop another Azure Storage Connector and choose “UploadFromFile” method

(*) By setting blobname with the value folde1/bb.txt then it will create a subfolder in azure storage

7/ Proceed in the same way for the following steps (DownloadToFile, GetBlobList, DeleteBlobInContainer, DeleteContainer)

8/ Response Messages are :

Container <container name> successfully created
<your filename> successfully uploaded
<your blobname> successfully downloaded to <your localdirectory>\<your localfilename>.downloaded
<your blobs list>
<your blobname> deleted successfully
Container <container name> deleted successfully

if there is an error, the connector update C.Sys.ErrorCode with value 669 and C.SysErrorDescription.

9/ For DownloadFile method , File mode must be :

2:create(if file exists, it is replaced) otherwise it creates a new file.

10/ You can use Log4net file to get some logs.
