Alli Cloud Storage

Getting Started

The Alli Cloud Storage datasource allows you to pull files from your client’s specific Marketplace or S3 locations.

Using with Alli Marketplace

When Alli Marketplace is selected in the configuration area, you only need to add in the file name to be downloaded on daily executions. Regex is accepted in this field.

Using with Alli Products

When Alli Products is selected in the configuration area, you only need to add in the file name to be downloaded on daily executions. Regex is accepted in this field.

Using with a Custom Locations

Custom locations default to the client’s Alli Cloud location. Files uploaded to the Alli Cloud only need to specify the further directory and file name that the upload was sent into.

Using with S3

S3 locations automatically pull in the bucket for a client so all that is needed when using the Custom setting under Client File Location is the remainder of the file’s key from S3. Regex is accepted in this field.

For example, a file located at the s3 url of s3://alliprod-bucket-12345/source=vendor/vendor=facebook/ will require a Client File Location of source=vendor/vendor=facebook.

Required Authorization

None. Alli Cloud Storage gets all the necessary credentials for your client’s file locations.

Limitations

Processed files are moved from their original location after processing, so backfilling will require a specific backfill file to be added to the search location.
