1.13.2 File Download

File downloads are used to capture files into the server landing area for processing in EDQ. The files may be downloaded from the cloud storage providers such as Oracle Object Store (OCI), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure Data Storage, and Google Cloud Platform or from other network resources. User authentication details, and proxy/firewall settings where required, can be set as part of the file download task.

The complete set of options that may be set for a File Download task is as follows:

  • URL: specifies the location of the source file - this may be either an internet location or another network file location to which the server can connect. You can now download from various storage providers such as Oracle Object Store (OCI), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure Data Storage, and Google Cloud Platform.

  • Use Stored Credentials?: Select this check box, if you wish to use stored credentials to automatically obtain the login credentials for the specified URL.
  • Credential Name: lists all the configured stored credentails available. Click the drop-down arrow to select the required stored credential.

    Note:

    This field is enabled only when you select Use Stored Credentials check box.
  • Username: specifies a user name, where authentication details are needed to download the file.

    Note:

    This field is disabled when you select Use Stored Credentials check box.
  • Password: specifies a password, where authentication details are needed to download the file.

    Note:

    This field is disabled when you select Use Stored Credentials check box.

  • Proxy Host: the name or IP address of the proxy/firewall server, where the server is not directly connected to the internet/network.

  • Proxy Port: the port used to connect to the proxy/firewall server.

  • Proxy Username: the user name used to authenticate to the proxy/firewall server.

  • Proxy Password: the password used to authenticate to the proxy/firewall server.

  • File Name in Landing Area: specifies the name that you wish to give to the downloaded file when it has been downloaded to the landing area. Note that if you want to put the file in a subfolder in the landing area, use forward slashes to specify a directory structure (for example, DownloadedData/downloadedfile.csv).

  • Use Project Specific Folder?: selecting this option will automatically put the file into a project-specific landing area. This is normally used where project permissions are in place, so that the landing area can only be accessed by processes within the same project.

  • Allow SSL Hostname Mismatch?: selecting this option will allow the download task to ignore discrepancies between the hostname specified in the SSL certificate and the name of the server to which it applies.

  • Ignore Invalid SSL Certificate?: selecting this option will allow the download task to ignore unverified SSL certificates on the host.

Finally, you can name the file download task and give it an optional description.
