Files
Files is a standard configuration interface for uploading, editing, and removing files. You can reference uploaded files elsewhere in Unified Assurance, such as using them for special icons for tools or reports.
Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form, and there are additional controls that are explained in the Grid Details section below.
This user interface calls REST methods from the api/file/files endpoints. See REST API for Unified Assurance Core for details.
To open this interface, from the main navigation menu, select Configuration, then Files, and then Files.
Grid Details
In addition to the standard controls, this interface also has a Download option in the button bar. After selecting an existing file, you can click Download to download the file.
You can also collapse and expand entries by clicking the plus or minus icons next to a file type.
Form Fields
-
File: The file to be uploaded.
-
Type: The file type. This should, but does not have to, match the type indicated by the file's extension.
-
MIME Type: The MIME type of the file.
This field is optional. If you do not set it, it will be set automatically based on the extension of the file that you are uploading, after you click Submit. If you do set it, it will be used as set, even if it does not match the type indicated by the file's extension.
-
User Owner: The user owner of the file.
-
Group Owner: The user group owner of the file.
-
Expiration: The expiration date of the file. You can use this when creating a cleanup policy for expired files.
-
Viewers: User groups that have read-only access to file.
For details about User Owner, Group Owner and Viewers, see Configuring Ownership and Viewer Access in Unified Assurance Security Guide.
Best Practices
-
Do not upload rules files using this UI. Instead, use the Rules UI to take advantage of version control and synchronization between Unified Assurance servers.
-
Sound files are not universally compatible. The MP3 file format is the most widely compatible and should work with Internet Explorer version 9 and forward. WAV and OGG will work with the application, but are less widely supported by the various browsers. Regardless of format, Oracle recommends that you test any audio files for browser compatibility before using them in a production environment.
