Question
File Path for uploaded file
Once we have uploaded the file in PEGA, it goes in to a temporary storage location(file://web:/StaticContent/global/ServiceExport/) which is got from pxRequestor.pyFileUpload. How to access the actual path of this location?
I need to provide the file path to another function for file type detection.What filepath i need to give and How can i get the actual filepath of the file I have uploaded?
Thank you. How to find the Pega temp directory of our application ?
Hi Ashwin,
You can use the below code to get the exact file path where uploaded files will be stored in this location. Please find below piece of code to fetch file path. You can form a string as below and can pass the string to the function which expects file path as input for further processing.
ClipboardPage cpThread = tools.getThread().getThreadpage();
ClipboardPage cpRequestor = tools.getRequestor().getRequestorPage();
ClipboardPage cpProcess = tools.findPage("pxProcess");
String exPath = cpProcess.getString("pxServiceExportPath");
String exactFilePath = cpThread+cprequestor+cpProcess+exPath; //which can be passed as a parameter to calling function
oLog.infoForced("All uploaded files will be stored in this location "+cpThread+cprequestor+cpProcess+exPath);//log if needed to verify the path generated is correct or not.
Please let me know if this helps.

Hi Chetan ,
I had used the above mentioned code in the java step of a activity.Your code was useful but am facing few issues.
cpThread,cpRequestor,cpProcess are of ClipboardPage type and hence not able to concatenate them and store it in a single string as per the below line
String exactFilePath = cpThread+cprequestor+cpProcess+exPath; //error -->The operator + is undefined for the argument type(s) com.pega.pegarules.pub.clipboard.ClipboardPage, com.pega.pegarules.pub.clipboard.ClipboardPage
I have commented this step alone and tried to execute the remaining.The log message i got was not useful.it contained class name and all.
could you please suggest how can we get the path alone and concatenate into the string?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ashwin,
You can just use the below piece of code to get the file uploaded path
ClipboardPage cpProcess = tools.findPage("pxProcess");
String exPath = cpProcess.getString("pxServiceExportPath");
oLog.infoForced("File Uploaded path "+exPath);
I have tested this code and works completely fine. This code display the complete file path.
Please let me know if this helps.

Hi Ashwin,
This is quite old but below is how you can get the absolute path for the service export directory-
Go to SMA>> System Management.
Search(Ctrl+F) for "tmpdir" and you will find temp directory for your instance under java.vm.args.
Take that value and concat it with "/StaticContent/global/ServiceExport/"

Should be under <PegaTempdir>/StaticContent/global/ServiceExport where <PegaTempdir> is the location of the pega temp directory.
