About the Generic files file
The Generic files type requires a ZIP file of arbitrary files that are required
for custom configurations beyond the scope of types already provided. The ZIP file contents will be
extracted into the directory /home/aceuser/generic, and can be referenced from
other configurations or logic in the integration flows.
The maximum recommended size of a ZIP file to be imported is approximately 660 KB.
Creating a configuration for the Generic files type by using the configuration panel
You can create a Generic files-type configuration while creating an integration
server, or independently, as follows:
- From the Configuration page (accessed by clicking the
Configuration icon
), or the
Configuration panel of an integration server that you are creating, click
Create configuration. For more information about this page or panel, see
Managing configuration objects from the Configuration page. - From the
Create configuration
panel, select Generic files from the Type list. - In the Name field, specify a name for this configuration.
- In the Description field, specify text that will help you identify the
integration server that will use the files in the ZIP archive, or identify the content of the archive.
- To import the generic files, click within the boxed area to select the ZIP file from a file
browser, or drag-and-drop the file. The name of the imported file is displayed.
- Click Create. The configuration is added to the configurations table and can be selected for use with an integration server.
Updating or deleting a configuration
If you need to update the content or settings in a configuration, or delete a configuration that's no longer required, see Managing configuration objects from the Configuration page.
