About Connect File rules

Use a Connect File rule to define the location and name of an output file on the Pega Platform server to be created by your application.

Note: Connect File rules are no longer being actively developed, and are being considered for deprecation in upcoming releases. Using Connect File rules does not follow Pega development best practices. Consider other implementation options instead.

The following tabs are available on this form:

Access

To list the Connect File rules in your application, use the Application Explorer or Configure > Integration > Connector Definitions & Simulations.

To list all Connect File rules that are available to you, use the Records Explorer.

Development

To create Connect File rules directly in your application, click Create > Integration-Connectors > Connect File.

Where referenced

Connect File rules can be referenced by an activity step that uses the Connect-File method. To write an output file from a flow rule, create an activity with Activity Type set to Connect, include the Connect-File method in an activity step, and reference the activity in an Integrator shape within the flow.

Category

A Connect File rule is an instance of the Rule-Connect-File rule type. Connect File rules belong to the Integration-Connectors category.
