Blob Storage
Fusion accepts large binary objects (blobs) for upload, and stores them in Solr. Blob uploads are used to install models, lookup lists, JDBC drivers, and more.
Blob Types
A resourceType query parameter can be used to specify the blob type. For example, specify file when uploading a text or CSV file, like this:
curl -H 'Content-Type: text/csv' -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -X PUT 'https://FUSION_HOST:FUSION_PORT/api/apps/APP_NAME/blobs/quickstart/EXAMPLE.csv?resourceType=file' --data-binary @/path/EXAMPLE.csvThe complete list of valid values for resourceType is below:
