Usage

1. Setup Activity:

   • Configure the required input arguments:
     • Target Project Id: Specify the project ID where the documents will be uploaded.
     • Target Service Id: Specify the service ID where the documents will be uploaded.

Considerations

• File Accessibility: Ensure all files in the specified folder path are accessible and not locked by other processes to avoid errors during upload.
• Data Integrity: Verify that the files contain the correct data and metadata before uploading to avoid errors or misclassification.
• Permissions: Ensure the necessary permissions are in place for the user or application performing the upload operation to prevent unauthorized actions.
• Error Handling: Implement error handling to manage potential issues such as file access errors or network connectivity problems.
• Recursive Option: Be mindful of the recursive option, as it may result in uploading a large number of files, affecting performance and execution time.
