Refer to Brightloom SFTP documentation for additional configuration details.
Add destination¶
Configure Amperity to send CSV files directly to Brightloom.
To add a destination
From the Destinations tab, click Add Destination. This opens the Add Destination dialog box.
Enter the name of the destination and a description. For example: “Brightloom” and “This sends query results to “Brightloom”.
From the Plugin drop-down, select SFTP.
This automatically selects
brightloom
as the Credential Type and assignssftp.prod.brightloom.com
as the location to which data is sent.From the Credential drop-down, select Create a new credential. This opens the Create New Credential dialog box. Enter a name for the credential (typically “Brightloom”), and then enter the username and password required to access this SFTP location.
Under Settings, enter the path to the remote folder.
Tip
For remote folders that contain spaces, use a backslash (
\
) character to escape the space. For example, a folder named “From ACME” should be entered as “FromACME”.From the File Format drop-down, select Apache Parquet, CSV.
Add a single character to be used as an escape character in the output file. (This should match the escape character required by Brightloom.)
Note
If an escape character is not specified and quote mode is set to “None” this may result in unescaped, unquoted files. When an escape character is not specified, you should select a non-“None” option from the Quote Mode setting.
Specify the encoding method. “None”.
Optional. Add the PGP public key that is used to encrypt files sent to Brightloom.
Optional. Specify the line ending type: LF or CRLF.
Optional. Set the quote mode.
Note
If the quote mode is set to “None” and the Escape Character setting is empty this may result in unescaped, unquoted files. When quote mode is “None”, you should specify an escape character.
Optional. Select Include success file upon completion to add a
.DONE
file to indicate when an orchestration has finished sending data.Tip
If a downstream sensor is listening for files sent from Amperity, configure that sensor to listen for the presence of the
.DONE
file.Optional. Select Include header row in output files if headers are included in the output.
Select Allow business users to use this destination.
This allows users who have been assigned to the Amp360 User and/or AmpIQ User policies to use this destination with orchestrations and/or campaigns.
Select Allow business users with limited PII access to send data. (A business user with limited PII access is someone who has been assigned the Restrict PII Access policy option.)
Click Save.
