Overriding File Path in REST API for FDR, Validation, and Batch Jobs
This feature introduces a new parameter in the POST method of the REST API to allow the override of the original file path when a remote CSV file (only for remote files) is used as a source or target in FDR (Functional Data Reconciliation), validation, or batch jobs. Below are the step-by-step instructions for using this feature.
Steps to Override the File Path:
Step 1: Open Scenario Studio
-
Launch Scenario Studio.
Step 2: Select an Existing Scenario
-
In the Scenario Explorer, choose an existing scenario for FDR, validation, or batch jobs.
Step 3: Click on "RD Generate Services"
-
In the scenario interface, click on the RD Generate Services button. This action will generate the necessary services.
Step 4: Copy POST URL and JSON Parameters
-
Once the services are generated, you will see a POST URL and related JSON parameters.
-
Copy the POST URL and JSON parameters for later use, then click Save & Close to exit the configuration window.
Step 5: Set Up and Send the POST Request in Postman
-
Open Postman and paste the POST URL you copied into the URL field.
-
In the Body section of Postman, paste the copied JSON parameters.
Step 6: Override the File Path
-
In the JSON body, find the field for the file.
-
Replace the original file path with the new one for the remote CSV file.
-
Once you've entered the new file path, click the Send button to execute the API request.
Expected Result:
-
A new session will be created, and the remote file will be processed based on the updated file path.
Step 7: Check Execution History
-
Go back to Scenario Studio and open the selected scenario.
-
Navigate to the Execution History section.
-
Here, you should see two entries:
-
The first session shows the scenario executed with the original file (e.g., 1000 records).
-
The latest session reflects the overridden file (e.g., 997 records).
-
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can dynamically override the file path for remote CSV files used in FDR, validation, and batch job scenarios.
