Transfer App

business process for file movement

Transfer App is a tool to allow business users to upload data to Snowflake.

Transfer App is an alternative to a common IT pattern of: Secured File Share + IT Polling Job + File Maintenance Script + ETL + Reporting. Which is difficult for end users to understand, and difficult for IT to support.

Transfer App provides many benefits, including:

  • A Robust User Experience

    • Familiar browser-based solution for file submission and reporting

    • Secured by Snowflake authentication and role authorization

    • Immediate feedback to user on result of upload

  • Supports both Excel and CSV files

  • History of files that were uploaded

  • Ability to download previously uploaded files

Business process for file transfers:

  • Provides audit trail of what user uploaded a file, and when

  • Logs all file movement activity

  • Maintains a copy of every file that has been uploaded

  • Custom reporting of upload activity from shared views
