Have you ever written a TurboIntegrator (TI) script that used a manually uploaded file as a source? If so, this requires a two-step process: upload the file and then run the script. As long as you remember to follow both steps, the process will work great. But what if you forget to upload a new file? (insert your own “misremember” joke here!).
IBM Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW) action buttons can resolve this situation for you by using the Allow File Upload setting within the Properties, Configure area.
When this setting is enabled, a File Upload window will appear before the process is run.
By having the button prompt you for a file, it will be easier to ensure that the script is using the data that you need for the process.
