ION Connection Point for Reports

mlit_21 · 2024-11-19T15:08:42+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have a SARSU in CSD that creates a fixed length text file in the /reports/[TenantID]/ directory. Can I send the file via sFTP directly from that directory, or do I have to use the SAPF function to download and save it locally in order to create a connection point for the local location?

Assuming the file is not too large for ION, you can pick up the file with the FileTransfer API. The Above would get somefile.txt, as a base64 encoded string. We have built bi-direction Data Flows using this API successfully.

Hi Brandon,

Could you please advise which File Transfer API using to build bi-direction data flows?!

we do have many of SARSU reports need to send them to our local server to process them accordingly.

Thanks,

Majd

Hello - You can find the FileTransfer API in the SXAPIRestSIProxy endpoint. You can call this endpoint from an ION Data Flow. I have a Data Flow (below) that goes both directions.
