Using File explorer

The File explorer manages all incoming and outgoing files, including import feeds, scripts, reports, and specs.

You can access the File explorer from the left pane by Data management > File explorer. The File explorer page displays total number of files and number of selected files.

You can access following file directories to the files that are stored on your Oracle or Db2 database:
  • archives
  • public_html
  • eventprocessor
  • schedule_logs
  • feed_files
  • scripts
  • FTP
  • tmp
  • params
  • users
The ftp and public_html directories are file system directories that are mounted into the document store and are defined in the docstore_mount.xml configuration file in the $TOP/etc directory. The docstore_mount.xml file provides the location of your file system mount points and uses the ftp_root_dir and supplier_base_dir parameters from the common.properties file:
<mnt doc_path="/public_html/" real_path="$supplier_base_dir/" inbound="yes"/>
<mnt doc_path="/ftp/" real_path="$supplier_ftp_dir/" inbound="yes"/>
