Publish a File to the BA Server
Follow this process if you want to publish a file to the BA Server:
Click the link that publishes a file to the BA Server: http://localhost:8080/api/repo/publish/publishfile. This publishes the file to the provided path in the repository. Note that the file will be overwritten if the overwrite flag is set to
true. | Name | Description | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| pathId | (colon separated path for the repository file) | formdata | false |
| fileContents | (input stream containing the data) | formdata | false |
| overwriteFile | (flag to determine whether to overwrite the existing file in the repository or not) | formdata | false |
| fileInfo | (information about the file being imported) | formdata | false |
Sample code for reference purposes can be found at Github for Pentaho. Look for the file called PublishRestUtil.java under the pentaho-reporting repostitory.
The file is now published to the BA Server and is available to users.
