Hi guys,

I have a situation where I have defined a Data integration job that is supposed to use a file as a source for the data.

The challenge I have is that the import job can be run in parallel by multiple users. Which means that I have to use a different file every time a user wants to run the import job.

SInce I have tens of users, I cannot create dedicated jobs for each of them.

I was thinking of creating a custom Dashboard widget that would allow the user to upload a file and then run the DataIntegration job.

My question is related to how I should create the data integration job to pass the file as a parameter.

Is this even possible?

Thank you,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
yes, you can specify the SourceFile in the query string of the job where the Xml provider as a source is used.
You can read more about that here: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/integration/integration/delete-archive-source-files-and-url-triggered-integration-jobs.

Hi Dmitrij,

Thank you for the response. I have read that part in the meantime and I think I can use it. 

In our case though, we have a custom DataIntegrationProvider and we'll have to see how we handle this parameter in the request.

Thank you,

Adrian
