    Hi,

    Could you be more specific ? Are you trying to read some file using file reader snap and send it somewhere via REST call ?
    Which snap is causing a problem ?

    Regards,
    Petar

      Hi Petar,

      yes, i am reading it through file reader snap and send it to server using rest post snap.

      I am getting the error, “Error: File could not be found within the upload directory”

  • You might need to upload the file in sldb if its not there, please note the file size should not be more than 100 MB as that wont get uploaded to sldb. once the file is uploaded you can use REST POST Snap.

    Since your file is greater than 100mb you could write it to the GPLEX itself as a file:\ format. We also have implemented Gluster as an attached storage option. The nice thing with it is gluster is attached to all GPLEX in the org so if your pipelines are executing on multiple GPLEX they can all see the files.

    Not sure if this is available on Snaplogic hosted GPLEX but for sure with the on premises ones

    @akshay_patil2186 Storing data in SLDB is the risky approach as SL doesn’t store or cache our data. It’s not suggestable.

    However, I assume that the file is somewhere in your network only and you need to push it to another server.

    Why don’t you use other mechanisms and trigger from pipeline, read file names from directory browser and write using file writer without parsing or formatting, or simply use file operations snap.

    Another approach will be using batch / shell commands invoked from pipeline. We can talk more solutions if you are looking for some other approach
