Hitachi Content Platform​

What does your Replace stage operate on? I presume it's a document field, and I also presume you have a stage that copies HCI_content stream into that field earlier on in the pipeline? If those assumptions are correct, then yes, you need a stage that copies the modified field back into a stream, for the writeFile action to write out to the file.

Replace is operating on HCI_snippet.

Text/MetaData

Snippet Extraction

Replace on Snippet Extraction field name/value

So if Replace was being triggered by a credit card, and the replacement is xxxxxxx, how do I direct what I believe is now HCI_Snippet xxxxxxx, into HCI_content with another stage? 

Well, you are replacing text in a snippet extracted from the file, not in the file itself. The snippet may represent a small part of the file content. If you write the snippet with the replacement back, you will likely lose a large portion of the original file. And if the original file was anything other than .txt (eg it was a PDF or a word doc) you will lose all of that.

You can use a stage to copy a field into a stream and then give that stream to the write action. But as I said above, I doubt this is what you are after.

You can either Modify the Replace stage or work with the Append stage, either  way that is only half the battle.  Once you insert/ replace a word it typically goofs up the layout of the document.  We have been playing with this and can get it working on typical office files, ( word, Excel)  but not everything. 

Hi Yury,

You are correct, that is not what I was after at all. I do appreciate your explanation though. This is one of the reasons why I asked the question because I wasn't sure if it was even possible to do what I wanted with HCI. 

Thank you for your responses.

Hi Troy,

I've actually been using your PII workflow to get me this far, that certainly has helped accelerate my understanding of HCI. Have examples of the "working" ones been posted anywhere, and is it anticipated this will be working down the road?

Thanks
