1.13.3 File Upload

Note:

This feature is applicable only for EDQ 12.2.1.4.1 release.

File Uploads are used to export output files from the EDQ server landing area to an external system, such as a cloud data storage provider which can be an Oracle Object Store (OCI), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure Data Storage, and Google Cloud Platform. User authentication details, and proxy/firewall settings where required, can be set as part of the file upload task.

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

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

  • Method: specifies the method of file upload based on the provided URL. It can be PUT or POST.
  • Use Stored Credentials?: Select this check box, if you wish to use stored credentials to automatically obtain the login credentials for the specified URL.
  • Credentials Name: lists all the configured stored credentials for the EDQ server. Click the drop-down arrow to select the required stored credentials.

    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 upload 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 upload 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 of the file in the landing area that you wish to upload. Note that if the file is in a subfolder, use forward slashes to specify a directory structure (for example, UploadedData/uploadedfile.csv).

  • Use Project Specific Folder?: selecting this option will automatically pick up a file from the project specific folder that exists in the landing area and uploads it externally such as a cloud data storage provider. 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 upload 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 upload task to ignore unverified SSL certificates on the host.

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