Input
The task always takes the current Job File as input file. If you want to upload an external file,
first use the "Load External File" on page325 plugin to load that file as the Job File.
Processing
The task tries to upload the current job file to the OL Connect File Store by making a call to the
/rest/serverengine/filestore/DataFile REST endpoint; see File Store Service: Upload File
in the REST API Cookbook.
Output
When a file is uploaded to the Connect File Store, it is automatically assigned a File Store ID.
The task stores the returned File Store ID in the specified variable.
This task does not modify the Job File.
Properties
General Tab
l Filename:Enter the file name or a JobInfo, local or global variable that contains the file
name, to use when saving the file in the OLConnect File Store. The default is %f, the
name of the job file. Right-click the field to select another variable. When you specify %o
as the file name, the file in the OLConnect File Store will have the same name as the
original file.
l
Save File Store ID in variable: Select the variable in which to store the File Store ID that
is returned after a file has been successfully uploaded to the File Store. This ID can be
used to download or delete the file from the OL Connect File Store.
l Mark as permanent:When this option is checked, the file will never be removed
automatically by Connect's Clean-Up Service. Non-permanent files may be removed if
there are no remaining references to them in the Connect Database. (See: Clean-Up
Service preferences.)
OL Connect Proxy Tab
This tab is common to all OLConnect tasks and defines where to process the jobs sent through
these tasks. When these fields are empty, they use the defaults set in the OL Connect User
Options page of the preferences.
