Hi Hans, Sorry for being late with this reply, hopefully it is still useful to you. This was a non-trivial question though, so I had to poke around in the docs to verify various things..
I think it is possible with MLCP. You can override the document-insert mechanism of MLCP using an MLCP transform. It would roughly look like: xquery version "1.0-ml"; module namespace example = "http://marklogic.com/example";; import module namespace temporal = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/temporal"; at "/MarkLogic/temporal.xqy"; declare function example:transform( $content as map:map, $context as map:map ) as map:map* { (: grab uri and content from $content :) let $uri := map:get($content, "uri") let $doc := map:get($content, "value") (: grab other argument values passed in via cmd-line from $context :) let $transform_param := map:get($context, "transform_param") let $collections := map:get($context, "collections") let $permissions := map:get($context, "permissions") let $quality := map:get($context, "quality") let $temporalCollection := map:get($context, "temporalCollection") (: determine the start/end you want to apply :) let $systemStart := current-dateTime() (: or an expression to grab the value from $doc or $transform_param :) let $systemEnd := $temporal:MAX_TIME (: or an expression to grab the value from $doc or $transform_param :) (: do a temporal insert as desired :) let $_ := temporal:document-insert( $temporalCollection, $uri, $doc, map:new(( map:entry("collections", $collections), map:entry("permissions", $permissions), map:entry("quality", $quality), map:entry("metadata", map:new(( map:entry("systemStart", $systemStart), map:entry("systemEnd", $systemEnd) ))) )) ) (: return empty-sequence to let MLCP know it doesn't need to insert docs itself :) return () }; Note: I haven’t actually tested above code, but I have overridden doc-insert in an MLCP transform before, and am pretty sure the temporal-insert should work like this too. Regarding alternatives, you could take a look at doing REST calls to /v1/documents (multipart if possible), or at using DMSDK for large volume bulk loading with transforms.

We need to import large amounts of historic data into a database and want to set the system time to the time when those documents were created. We anticipate needing the valid axis as well, so we do not want to abuse the valid axis to represent the document creation time. If MLCP cannot do it, what would be a good alternative to bulk insert documents with a specified system timestamp? Any pointers would be appreciated.
