Save Customer-Provided Data and Derived Outputs

When Workbench notebooks write CSV or similar file outputs with Spark, the output directory usually contains part files instead of one CSV file. Store these outputs in an approved destination according to how the output will be reused.

To prepared and save data for reuse:

1. Before saving, confirm that you have approval to use the customer-provided data or to create the derived output.
2. Confirm your approved destination for your workflow. Where configured, use approved Object Storage locations for customer-provided files, external tables, external volumes, curated files, or exported outputs.
3. If you are uploading customer-provided data to Object Storage, sign in to the OCI Console and upload files only to the approved bucket, prefix, or quarantine location provided by your administrator.
4. If an approved workflow requires copying a file from a user Object Storage location to a shared Object Storage location, use the OCI Console Object Storage copy action for the source object unless your administrator provides a different approved process.
5. Confirm that the Object Storage location is connected to Workbench through an approved external table, external volume, external catalog, or workspace configuration.
6. Select Save to save outputs to the approved destination according to your workflow.
