12.1 File Operations

The file operation process enables you to add files that must be processed to the object store. You can upload any CSV, XLSX, and Text file that you wish to be stored in the object store, which can be processed later.

To upload a file, complete the following steps:

1. On the AFCS Home page, click the My Profile icon and select Administration.
2. Click File Operations.
3. Click Upload File.
   The Generate Pre-Authenticated URL window is displayed.
4. Enter the File Name.
5. Select the file format from the drop-down list.
   The supported file types are: CSV, XLSX, and Text.
6. Enter the file size (in bytes) as seen on the disk.
   To add more files, click Add and repeat the steps.
7. Click Generate.
   This generates a PAR (pre-authenticated request) URL which is valid for 24 hours. This PAR URL is used to upload the file into the object store.
   For more information on using the PAR URL, see the Working with Pre-Authenticated Requests section in Using Preauthenticated Requests.
8. An entry for the PAR URL you just created appears on the File Operations page.
   The search feature provides you multiple options to search for a file based on name, creation date, and so on. You can also sort the list by name and creation date in ascending or descending order.

   You can also perform searching a file using REST API. For more details, refer Searching a File

   You can download a file using REST API. For more details, refer Generating PAR URL for File Download.
