2 File Transfers

Some of the Merchandising suite integrations involve flat files as inputs or outputs of the process. To support uploading and downloading files in a SaaS implementation, a bucket in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage is created for each customer environment.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage service is an internet-scale, high-performance storage platform that offers reliable and cost-efficient data durability. Buckets are logical containers for storing objects. Any type of data, regardless of content type, is stored as an object. An object is composed of the object itself and metadata about the object.

Access to the bucket is through a pre-authenticated request (PAR), which is a URL that requires no further authentication to use to upload or download files to the bucket. To retrieve a PAR, you must use the appropriate file transfer REST service. For more details on the file transfer REST services, see the Merchandising Operations Guide Volume 2.
