Local Storage connector for Jitterbit Integration Studio

Summary

The Local Storage connector establishes access to storage in a private agent machine.

The Local Storage connector provides an interface for creating a Local Storage connection, the foundation used for generating instances of Local Storage activities. These activities, once configured, interact with the stored items through the connection.

The Local Storage connector is accessed from the design component palette's Project endpoints and connectors tab (see Design component palette).

Caution

Local Storage endpoints cannot be used with cloud agents.

Connector overview

This connector is used to first configure a Local Storage connection. Activity types asssociated with that connection are then used to create instances of activities that are intended to be used as sources (to provide data in an operation) or targets (to consume data in an operation).

Together, a specific Local Storage connection and its activities are referred to as a Local Storage endpoint:

Local Storage activities

  • Read: Reads data from a Local Storage endpoint and is intended to be used as a source in an operation or called in a script.

  • Write: Writes data to a Local Storage endpoint and is intended to be used as a target in an operation or called in a script.

Note

This connector is a native Integration Studio connector, which may be referred to by Jitterbit when communicating changes made to connectors. The release schedule for native Integration Studio connectors is based on the cadence of Harmony portal web applications.

Enable local storage

To use local storage, you must be using a private agent, and the local storage must reside on the machine where the private agent is installed.

In addition, you must have the private agent configured to allow Local Storage connections. By default, private agents are configured to prevent use of local storage. See Enable local file location to change the default setting in the private agent configuration file to enable Local Storage connections.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with the Local Storage connector, these troubleshooting steps are recommended:

  1. Ensure the Local Storage connection is successful by using the Test button in the configuration screen. If the connection is not successful, the error returned may provide an indication as to the problem.

  2. Check the operation logs for any information written during execution of the operation.

  3. Enable operation debug logging (for cloud agents or for private agents) to generate additional log files and data.

  4. Check the agent logs for more information.

  5. For additional troubleshooting considerations, see Operation troubleshooting.
