File Upload

The File Upload widget enables you to create or append a WhatIf scenario by uploading CSV files into the cube.

Configuring the widget

To turn on the File Upload widget, provide this code in the settings you register:

"accelerator_file-upload.server.whitelist": ["MRA"],

To configure the widget, use the following settings:

"accelerator_file-upload.server.params": {
    MRA: {
      groupSelectorEnabled: true,
      getFilePathsRestEndpoint:
        "/services/rest/whatif/fileUpload/retrieveStagedFile",
      sendFilePathsRestEndpoint: "/services/rest/whatif/fileUpload/upload/",
      successMessage: "What-if successfully triggered",
      initialPrompt:
        "Please select the topic you wish to contribute to your What-if",
      fileSelectorPlaceholder: "Select a File",
      uploadNamePlaceholder: "What-if Branch Name",
      stagingDirectoryName: "stage",
      filePathSpliterator: "\\",
      selectableDirectories: true,
    },
  },

Using the widget

To use File Upload:

1. Add the files you want to upload into the relevant directory in the stage folder. It is located in mr-application/src/test/resources/data/. The files you add here are then displayed in the File Upload widget.

2. Start by adding the File Upload widget into the view by dragging its icon from the top bar.

3. Click the dropdown to select from a list of topics which are configured and have available data. For details on how to configure the topics, see Configuring the widget.

4. Next, select a file. Below the topic selector you can expand a directory structure containing the files available for the upload associated with the selected topic.

5. Once you’ve selected the required files, enter a name for your branch in the What-if Branch Name field, then click Click to Upload.

This creates a branch with the given name or updates the existing branch with data from the uploaded files.

You can check and delete your branch in the WhatIf Manager:
