Managing Import File Locations

There are two parts to the file location setup process. Typically, these tasks are performed by a system administrator.

1. Creating the file system folders for a specified path and the areas under that path. These folders should be manually created by a system administrator with appropriate access permissions for those users who will be importing files. The system administrator should manually create both the path folders and the area folders.

   Note: On non-Windows operating systems, folder names are case-sensitive. At run-time area names are changed to upper case, so the names of area folders should also be upper case.

2. Registering the path to each directory containing area folders in the database as locations for holding project files. These registered locations and the area folders within them are the file repository.

The paths that you register restrict access to files imported using these pages:

• Import Bank Statements

• Import Financial Sanction List

• Import Pool Position

• Import Cash Forecast

• Security Market Values Import

• Equity Quote Import

• Security Definition Import

• Import Acknowledgement Files

• Import Payment Flat Files

In addition, a unique run control ID is required when submitting requests using these import pages.

Use the Manage File Locations page (TR_MNG_FILE_LOC) to register paths to valid import file locations.
