File Handling in TIBCO Cloud™ Integration
In TIBCO Cloud™ Integration, you can use the File palette activities for files created or present inside the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration application container only. This topic provides information on using different file palette activities for file manipulations in TIBCO Cloud™ Integration. You can create the files inside the default directory /opt in TIBCO Cloud™ Integration.
The sample project contains the following two processes:
- WriteAndReadFile.bwp: It has a rest endpoint with GET operation, which writes a file in the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration application container, reads the file, and logs the output to the application logs.
- FileProcessingAllActivities.bwp: It has FilePoller activity, which polls the file created in the above process and performs rename, copy, list file, and remove operations.
- Procedure
- In the samples directory in the File Explorer view, expand and double-click tibco.bw.sample.palette.file.BasicFileHandling.zip. For more information, see Accessing Samples.
- In the
Project Explorer view, expand the
tibco.bw.sample.palette.file.BasicFileHandling.zip project.
For example, the following illustration shows write and read file activity:
Following illustration shows all file processing activities:
- Deploy this application to the cloud. For more information about deploying an application, see Deploying an App from TIBCO Business Studio™ for BusinessWorks™.
- To test the endpoint, see
Viewing App Endpoints.
The GET operation of an endpoint shows the content and location of the file written in TIBCO Cloud™ Integration and application logs show the different file operations performed and their outputs.
Understanding the Configuration
All the file paths used in the project are of default directory /opt in TIBCO Cloud™ Integration.
