Using the File Browser
The File Browser provides direct access to data files found on your local and hosting
server. From the File Browser, you can navigate to files stored the default
inbox
and outbox
in Data Integration. You can also
delete files, download a file to a local folder and upload files from local
folders.
The inbox
is the default directory from which source files are
imported and acts, as a central repository for all ledger extract files. Because
source files can be retrieved from any accessible directory, you are not required to
place import files in this directory.
The inbox
includes the batches and archivestore directories.
The outbox
folder stores export files created by Data Integration, any error log
files from a target application, drill region load files, and drill load logs from
the target.
The outbox
includes the following sub-folders:
archivestore
—Reserved for future use.logs
—Stores logs generated by the load processes in the format EPM-APPLICATION-NAME_PROCESS-ID.log. These logs can be viewed using the Show Log link in the Process Details page of Data Integration .reports
—The reports folder stores report output generated by the batch reporting process in PDF, HTML or XLS. Also includes output from reports run in offline mode.
