File Upload Manager
Use this dialog to select a text file for upload to a database.
You can access this dialog from any application by clicking from the Global Menu.
The ID of the application uploaded is tagged to the uploaded file. Since the application ID determines which application you must use to access the file, it is important to upload files from the application in which they will eventually be used.
If you are running an import application (preprocessor), you can use this dialog to select the import file that contains the data you want to import.
To download or delete a file from a database, use the Export Files screen.
There are two ways to work with input files:
- You can access the input file from the network by using Alternate File Locations.
- You can use the File Upload Manager to upload the input file to the database, in which case no further access to network folders is necessary.
