Uploading Files

Note:

Only the uploaded files that fall within the current user's org node are shown on the File Upload page. Files must have been uploaded by a user with the same, or lower, org node as the current user.

Note:

In Oracle Retail Xstore Office certain privileges are available which control the users who have the ability to access the file upload feature and who can upload files which are to be deployed.

Additionally, it is possible to control the ability to deploy one or more of the uploaded files.

The 'File Deploy' privilege should not be assigned to a user who has either the 'File Upload' or the 'Upload File to Deploy' privilege. One user should be restricted to have only the right to upload files for deployment, while another user is required to deploy the uploaded files. As a result critical deployments need to be independently approved, before they are made available to other systems.

1. From the Oracle Retail Xstore Office menu, select Deployment - File Upload, or click the File Upload link in the Deployment Manager panel.

2. At the File Upload page, click Add File to browse for the file you want to upload.

3. When prompted, click Browse to search for the file.
