AzureBlob Put - Data360_Analyze - Latest

Uploads files to a server using the Azure Blob protocol.

The AzureBlob nodes enable you to access data from Azure containers so that you can integrate your data flows with Azure. See:

• AzureBlob Get
• AzureBlob List
• AzureBlob Delete

Uploading a single file to an Azure Blob container

1. Drag an AzureBlob Put node onto the canvas, then in the Container property, specify the name of the Azure Blob container to which you want to upload your file.
2. Provide your Azure account name and account key details in the AccountName and AccountKey properties.
3. In the FileName property, specify the location of the file that you want to upload.

Uploading multiple files to an Azure Blob container

1. Drag a Directory List node onto the canvas and connect it to an AzureBlob Put node. Run the Directory List node to generate a list of files in a given location.
2. On the AzureBlob Put node, in the Container property specify the name of the Azure Blob container.
3. Provide your Azure account name and account key details in the AccountName and AccountKey properties.
4. Select the (from Field) variant of the FileName property, then specify the name of the input field that references the location of the files to upload.

Example

You have four files on your local desktop that you want to upload to Azure.

1. Drag a Directory List node onto the canvas and in the DirectoryName property type the location of the folder that contains the four files, e.g. C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Azure_upload.
2. You want to upload all files from the specified location to Azure, so in the Pattern property type *.
3. Run the Directory List node, then connect it to an AzureBlob Put node.

   The output of the Directory List node is as follows:

   FileName unicode	File unicode	Size long	Created datetime	Modified datetime
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Azure_upload\create4.txt	create4.txt	25	2017-11-27T06:50:43-0400	2017-11-27T06:50:43-0400
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Azure_upload\create3.txt	create3.txt	25	2017-11-27T06:50:43-0400	2017-11-27T06:50:43-0400
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Azure_upload\create2.txt	create2.txt	25	2017-11-27T06:50:43-0400	2017-11-27T06:50:43-0400
   C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Azure_upload\create1.txt	create1.txt	25	2017-11-27T06:50:43-0400	2017-11-27T06:50:43-0400

4. On the AzureBlob Put node, in the Container property, type the name of the Azure Blob container to which you want to upload your files, e.g. my-example-container.
5. Select the (fromField) variant of the FileName property and type the name of the input field containing the location of the files that you want to upload, in this case FileName.
   Tip: You can optionally specify the Object name for the blob that will be created in the specified container in the Object property. If you leave the Object property blank, the blob name will be the same as the uploaded file name. The file name (or Object name) must be a valid Azure name.
6. Provide your Azure account name and account key details in the AccountName and AccountKey properties.
7. Run the AzureBlob Put node to upload your files.
