Keywords

FILE

This keyword is used to specify the file name and path of the JSON document.

It is recommended to use the forward slash as the path separator and to avoid the use of the DOS drive designator.

The format of the path should be as follows:

For Windows you can specify:

Absolute path
For example:
/orders/order.json
C:/orders/order.json
C:\orders\order.json

or
Relative path.
For example, orders/order.json (note, no '/' at the start), in which case the order.json document must reside in the orders directory under the JSM Instance directory on your server.

For the IBM i you can specify:

Absolute path.
For example:
/orders/order.json

or
Relative path.
For example, orders/order.json (note, no '/' at the start), in which case the order.json document must reside in the orders directory under the JSM Instance directory on your server.

Note: Whatever directory structure you specify must already exist.

This keyword is mandatory.
