Reading files from SL manager?

Hi Team,

Do we have the possibility of reading the files that gets generated under snapLogic Manager via File reader?
If yes, should the pipeline be under Shared project space?

Thanking in advance for your help 🙂

Best Regards,
DT

    It depends, if the file is under shared, than the proper syntax would be

    ../shared/filename

    Hey Darsh,

    Yes, you can read files that are under the same project space. If you have admin or proper rights, you can even read files from different Project Spaces by specifying the following format of the path:

    ../../OtherProjectSpace/OtherProject/FileName

      @bojanvelevski: If it’s under the same project space, do we need to specify the path?
      How do we select those files though?

      The solution for this one (workaround) has been discussed on its original thread (Can we hyperlink inside a mapper snap?)

      Thank you everyone for your time and help on this matter.

      Your Excel Parser comment doesn’t fit with the rest of the thread.

      To select a file in the File name field, click on the database icon on the right.

        I was trying to read the file from SL manager itself and the pipeline screenshots under this thread represents the same.

        I can read the files from SL manager and after reading it, I used the parser as parser snap does have an option of evaluating formulas but didn’t find any luck when the result file was exported.
