File Operations

The file operation is a process by which you can add files that must be processed to the object-store. You can upload any CSV, XLSX, and Text file that you wish to be stored in the object store and this can be processed later.

To upload and download any text file you must use the File Operations Window.

To upload a file, do the following:

1.     Navigate to Accounting Foundation > Administration.

2.     Click File Operations.

3.     Click Upload File.

The Upload File window is displayed.

4.     Select Files Upload and then enter the File Name.

5.     Select the File format from the drop-down.

The supported file types are: CSV, XLSX, and Text.

6.     Enter the File Size (in bytes)

It is possible to click Add to add more files and also click Delete to delete the added file.

7.     Click Generate.

This generates a PAR (pre-authenticated request) url which is valid for 24 hours. This generates the PAR url, which is used to upload the file into the object-store.

For more information on using the PAR URL, see the Working with Pre-Authenticated Requests Section in https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Object/Tasks/usingpreauthenticatedrequests.htm.

8.     To refresh the files, click .

You can search a file in the File Operations window using the Search bar. In addition, clicking on the drop-down in the Search bar allows you to filter the files based on the following options:
