What is the best approach to load multiple excel files that are on NAS folder using IICS?

814 views Asked by At

I have 50+ excel files on NAS folder that I would like to load to my S3 bucket using IICS. Each file has different column names and number. For loading files.

I am using File ingestion task, to be specific "Filelist" as my source object. For Directory I am specifying my NAS folder path. For the option "Input file list path" I am specifying filelist.txt because this file contains path for multiple file. After running file ingestion task only one file is getting loaded into S3 bucket.

Not sure what is the issue ? I was wondering if there is another approach to load multiple files using single taskflow ?

I am new to IICS so any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

For file transfer tasks try using IICS Mass Ingestion (Files) See the details on Informatica website - just make sure to scroll down and choose File Ingestion.

When creating an MI task you choose source, file name pattern and target. MI task will transfer all the files with names matching the pattern. It can be scheduled, based on File Listener, and more.
