Source/feed files and JDBC drivers should be uploaded to SLDB (SnapLogic database). To use a file from SLDB in a Pipeline's field, you must use the following file path convention: sldb:///<YOUR_FILE_PATH>. You can use SLDB files during Pipeline development for metadata storage in some limited cases (such as static jar files and static expression library files), but they should not be used to store production data. Customers should use their own cloud storage provider to store production data. |
