Using a Copy to Object Storage Job Type

You can copy a file used as an input data source to the Object Storage, which is a fully programmable, scalable, and durable cloud storage service.

Note:

Before copying a file to the Object Storage, note the following:

• The Object Storage requires an Other Web Services Provider connection type. You must ensure you have access to the Web service you're connecting. You must also have URLs for the Web service and any login details, if required. For more information, see Connecting to External Web Services in Administering Planning.

  Note:

  You need to generate an auth token to use as the user password for an Other Web Services Provider connection type. For information on creating an auth token, see To create an auth token.

• The copy from Object Storage job type requires that you specify the namespace name and bucket information associated with the file to be copied from Object Storage.

For more information about Oracle Storage, see Oracle Storage.

Table 12-6 Copy to Object Storage Job Type Parameters

Copy to Object Storage Job Type Parameter	Description
Object Storage Connection	Specify the name of the Object Storage connection.
Namespace	Specify the name that serves as the to-level container for all buckets and objects. namespace is the top-level container for all buckets and objects. Each Oracle Cloud Infrastructure tenant is assigned a unique system-generated and immutable Object Storage namespace name at account creation time. Your tenancy's namespace name, for example, axaxnpcrorw5, is effective across all regions. The namespace spans all compartments within a region. You control bucket names, but those bucket names must be unique within a namespace. While the namespace is region-specific, the namespace name itself is the same in all regions.
Bucket	Specify the name of the bucket, which is the container for storing objects in a compartment within a namespace. A bucket is the name of a logical container where you store your data and files. Buckets are organized and maintained under compartments. A system generated bucket name, for example, bucket-20210301-1359 reflects the current year, month, day, and time
Source Directory	Specify the source directory to which to copy the file to Object Storage. Note: To move or copy an Oracle Enterprise Performance Management Cloud snapshot to Object storage, the snapshot needs to be in the inbox/outbox of the application. The character limit for a sub-directory sting name is 2,000 characters. Files larger than 100 MB are stored in Oracle Object Storage within a logical directory along with the manifest file that identifies its segments.
File Name	Specify the name of the source file to copy to the Object Storage. This file name must exactly match the full name of the object in Object Storage Cloud. You can click to launch the File Browser and navigate to the source file to copy. You can use the wild card character * (the asterisk) to copy multiple files. For example, specify the file name GLData* to copy all files starting with GLData.
Target File Name	Specify the target file name to copy to the Object Storage. When you copy multiple source file, the system appends the value specified as the file prefix.
