Importing large files in Outsystem DB
Question

Hi Team,

We have a business requirement to migrate and import large .pdf/.doc files (size is more than 120MB) into Outsystem Database.

What will be a feasible way AWS s3 connector or do we have any File System? How can I use these?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

S3 is a amazon product and you need to have to use your own. Outsystems only provides a easy way of integrating with it.

Hi,

Files that large shouldn't be on database. It's better to send them to S3 and just save the reference to them. There are a couple of forge components to integrate with s3.

Do we need to use Amazon s3 or we have any s3 provided by Outsystem?

Hi Neha ,

S3 is amzons bucket to store data , so any S3 connector will work. It is similar to file storage but has lots of amazon guarantee of recovery , high availability  , security and faster access.

Hi Pramod, Marcelo, 


I am trying to use the Amazon s3 connector forge component, but I am getting nothing returned in the Objects though I kept a few in my buckets. 


Can you please help me, how I can read files from s3 bucket in outsystem. 


Thanks in advance
