Using Additional Files in DataCloud
The Additional Files feature allows you to provide files to your integration or configuration without storing them in the project itself (as you do with Project Attachments). This means you can have different versions of the file during design and execution on the DataCloud.
For example, you can use a file as a lookup table during design and then provide a different version of that file for each configuration after deployment.
Tip... Use the Additional Files feature for files that need to change frequently or need to differ between configurations. Project Attachments work best for static files; the entire project must be repackaged from DataConnect and then redeployed to DataCloud if an attachment changes. The advantage to using Project Attachments is that the deployment process saves previous versions of your attachment files. When you replace a file in the Additional Files, it overwrites the previous version.
