Using Transform Module during MLCP Ingestion to Ma

Question

I am trying to implement envelope pattern when i am ingesting documents through MLCP

My transform Module is like this :

function envelope(content, context)
{
  var transformed ={};
  transformed.Metadata = { "Created" : "Time"};
  transformed.Source = content.value;
  content.uri = fn.concat("/transformed/",content.uri);
  content.value = transformed;
};
exports.transform = envelope;

My MLCP Command is like this

    mlcp.bat import -host localhost -port 8000 -username admin -
password admin -mode local -input_file_path D:\Marklogic\abcd.csv -input_file_ty
pe delimited_text -document_type json -transform_module /example/
mlcp-transform.sjs -transform_function transform -output_collections transformed -ge
nerate_uri true

MLCP Error :

    18/01/31 09:00:27 WARN contentpump.TransformWriter: Failed document /D:/Marklogi
c/test.pcr-0-9
18/01/31 09:00:27 WARN contentpump.TransformWriter: TypeError: Cannot read prope
rty 'uri' of undefined
18/01/31 09:00:27 WARN contentpump.TransformWriter: TypeError: Cannot read prope
rty 'uri' of undefined

I don't know why it cant able to read the uri in my transform module. Any help is appreciated

Thanks

MLCP expects the transform function to return an the updated content argument. Try the following:

function envelope(content, context)
{
  var transformed ={};
  transformed.Metadata = { "Created" : "Time"};
  transformed.Source = content.value;
  content.uri = fn.concat("/transformed/",content.uri);
  content.value = transformed;
  return content;
};
exports.transform = envelope;

Provide target collection names with the -output_collections parameter. You can also prefix uri with /transformed/ using the -output_uri_prefix, or the -output_uri_replace parameter.

You can find documentation about command-line options here:

HTH!
