The following example describes how to add an File deployment connection to send and receive data from a csv-format file using the File provider in Gateway.
To add an File deployment that supports CSV file formats:
- In the sidebar select Configuration.
- Select the Deployments tab.
- Select Add....
- In the General step of the Deployment wizard:
- Select File from the Select Application Provider list.
- Enter the Deployment Name, File Deployment for CSV formatted data.
- Enter the Description: File Deployment - CSV Format.
- In the Deployment step:
- Select CSV/XLS/XLSX from the File Format list.
- Select File Upload from the File Data Source Type list.
- Set Enable Cross Reference Tracking to True only if you want to ensure Gateway stores and tracks the cross-references for the data being synchronized. This helps the destination application determine if it is a create or update action.
If the field is unchecked, cross-references will not be stored, and it will be up to the destination application to determine whether to create or update data in the destination application.
- Select Save.
Tips
- You can also edit a deployment and select Save in any step to exit the wizard.
