File import

• Client = System that wants to deliver a file for import into our systems.
• Client delivers files of data to us using FileService.
  • This means that even if ServiceX needs the data, you still deliver the file to FileService.
• The file is defined by its fileType and contract, as defined by the service that "owns" that fileType/contract.
• In addition to the file itself, the client can specify some custom properties.
• Client will get an unique fileId from FileService, that can be used for troubleshooting and tracking the file import progress.
  • One or more of our services might listen for a given fileType
  • Services might update the file status in FileService, and might export a new file with processing status of each row in the file.
