Reading files from SL manager?

[darshthakkar]

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

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?

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

../shared/filename

I had accidentally selected an account under File Reader so I wasn’t able to read the files generated in the same project space.

As per my testing, File Reader should have exact filename under File* without the = decorator selected.

File Writer that generates files in SL manager:

File reader that reads file from SL manager:

Same File reader that shows no Account has been selected as its the same project space:
