FileIO connection properties

When you set up a FileIO connection, you must configure the connection properties.
The following table describes the FileIO connection properties:
Connection property
Description
Connection Name
Enter a unique name for the connection.
Description
Provide a relevant description for the connection.
Use Secret Vault
Stores sensitive credentials for this connection in the secrets manager that is configured for your organization.
This property appears only if secrets manager is set up for your organization.
When you enable the secret vault in the connection, you can select which credentials that the Secure Agent retrieves from the secrets manager. If you don't enable this option, the credentials are stored in the repository or on a local Secure Agent, depending on how your organization is configured.
Note: If you’re using this connection to apply data access policies through pushdown or proxy services, you cannot use the Secret Vault configuration option.
For information about how to configure and use a secrets manager, see Secrets manager configuration.
Runtime Environment
The name of the runtime environment where you want to run tasks.
Select a Secure Agent.
For more information about how to configure and use the runtime environments, see Runtime environments.
Parent Directory
Enter the parent directory path. The parent directory is the folder that contains the files to perform read and write operations. The parent directory must contain an .infaccess empty file.
Create a folder within the parent directory with any name other than inprocess, success, and error. For example, you can create a read, write, or test folder. The empty file will be listed as objects when you select this connection as source or target in the task.
Process File Content As
Select the required option from the list of available options to process the file content. The following file processing options are available:
  • - Binary: When you select Binary, you must map FileContentAsBinary in the Field Mapping tab of the synchronization task.
  • - base64 encoded string: By default this option is selected. When you select this option, you must map FileContentAsBase64String in the Field Mapping tab of the synchronization task.
Overwrite Target Files
Check the box to enable overwrite target files. Otherwise the file containing same names will be created in the incrementing naming order using a counter. For example, when you do not enable overwrite target file option, the existing file ABCD will not be overwritten. Instead a new file ABCD(1) will be created.
Auto Archive Source Files
Check the box to enable automatic archiving of source files. This option allows you to move the files from source directory after the file is processed.
In Process Directory
Mention the directory path to be used for file processing. By default, parent directory is considered.
Success Directory
Mention the directory path where the files will be moved after processing. By default, parent directory is considered. Mention the success directory path only when Auto Archive Source Files option is enabled.
Error Directory
Mention the error directory path. When they are issues/errors in file processing. Such files are moved to error directory.
