About the Generic files file
The Generic files type requires a .zip file of arbitrary
files that are needed for custom configurations beyond the scope of types already provided. The
.zip file contents are extracted into the directory
/home/aceuser/generic, and can be referenced from other configurations or logic
in the integration flows.
The maximum recommended size of a .zip file for a configuration is approximately 660 KB.
Creating a configuration for the Generic files type by using the configuration panel
You can create a Generic files-type configuration while creating an integration runtime, or independently, as follows:
- Open the Configuration page by clicking the
Configuration icon
in the navigation pane. Then, click
Create configuration. For more information, see Creating configurations on the Configurations page. - From the
Create configuration
panel, select Generic files from the Type list. - In the Name field, specify a name for this configuration.
- In the Description field, specify text that will help you identify the
integration runtime that will use the files in the ZIP archive,
or identify the content of the archive.
- To import the generic files, click within the boxed area to select the ZIP file from a file
browser, or drag-and-drop the file. The name of the imported file is displayed.
- Click Create. The configuration is added to the configurations table and can be selected for use with an integration runtime.
Updating or deleting a configuration
If you need to update the content or settings in a configuration, or delete a configuration that's no longer needed, see Creating configurations on the Configurations page.
