6.1.17 Configuring an upload file componenet

A file upload component allows users to upload files from their local computer to the cluster head.

To add/delete/modify an upload file component

Open the appropriate XML file located in the Viewpoint home directory. Locate the <components> element.
Create the <component> with a unique id.
Insert the <file-upload> element.
Use any of the four optional child elements desired:

Set <server-path> to specify a temporary path on the server where the file should be uploaded. The path must be fully qualified.
Set <cluster-path> to specify the final destination path of the file on the cluster head. The path must be fully qualified.
Set <max-file-size> to specify the maximum allowable file size (in bytes) users can upload.
Set <form-submit> to specify an alternative Servlet or other form action URL.

The server and cluster paths must be different if you are using an SSH connection to the localhost for Moab; otherwise the file will be deleted.

<file-upload>
  <server-path>/tmp</server-path>
  <cluster-path>/var/tmp</cluster-path>
  <max-file-size>10000000</max-file-size>
  <form-submit>/fileupload/file</form-submit>
</file-upload >
