Table 12-19 File Operation Job Type Parameters

File Operations Job Type Parameters	Description
File Operation	Select the type of file operation to be executed at runtime: Option types: Copy—The Copy file operation copies the file from a source directory to a target directory and retains the original file in the source directory after the copy operation to a target directory (used for local file operations, that is, within the same environment). Requires a local connection. Delete—The Delete file operation deletes a file from a source directory. Requires a local connection. Move—The Move file operation moves the file from a source directory to a target directory, but does not retain the moved file in the source directory after the move operation to a target directory. The Move file operation is a local operation and requires a local connection. Unzip a file. Requires a local connection. Upload—Copy a file from a local Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management server to another Cloud EPM server (a local Cloud EPM server is the server where the Pipeline process is running.) This file operation requires that you specify the target directory and target file name on the remote machine in order for the file to be uploaded remotely from the local server. Upload is a remote operation and requires a remote connection. Download—Copy a from file from a remote Cloud EPM server to local Cloud EPM (a local Cloud EPM server is the server where the Pipeline process is running.) This file operation requires that you specify the source directory and the source file name on the remote machine in order for the file to be downloaded locally from the remote machine. Requires a remote connection. Note For a dat file, Download file works only with a dat file generated as part of the integration output or if the integration has a target file name in Options.
Source Directory	Specify the source directory from which to copy, move, unzip, upload, or download the file. A Delete file operation requires that you specify a source directory. When you download a file, the source directory and source file name identify the remote source directory and file name. When you upload a file, the source directory and file identify from where the file is uploaded locally.
Source File Name	Specify the source file name of the file to copy, move, unzip, upload, or download.
Target Directory	Specify the target directory to which files are copied. The target directory can be: inbox (inbox folder in Data Integration), openbatch, openbatchml, and epminbox (inbox folder in Planning). A zip file can contain only one level of a sub-directory. When you download a file, the target directory and file name identify to where the file is downloaded locally. When you upload a file, the target directory and target file name identify the remote target directory and file name.
Target File Name	Specify the target file name of the file that has been copied, moved, unzipped, uploaded, or downloaded. A target file name is not required for an "Unzip" file operation.
