Working with FICO Drive

As a user of the DMP (Decision Management Platform) version of Xpress Executor on the FICO Analytic Cloud, your apps can interact with files located in the cloud via FICO Drive, subject to some provisions in the underlying Mosel model.

FICO Drive is implemented as a layer above Amazon's S3 service.

To enable FICO Drive capabilities within a model, reference the s3 library: 
uses "s3"
Then declare a variable of type s3bucket to represent the cloud-based bucket you wish to access: 
declarations
  mybucket: s3bucket
end-declarations

For further details of the FICO Drive API, refer to the S3 Library for Mosel reference manual, located at http://www.fico.com/fico-xpress-optimization/docs/latest/mosel/S3/dhtml .

Using FICO Drive to share files within a solution

When invoked by Xpress Executor, a Mosel model instance is automatically configured to access a bucket available to all DMP components in the current solution. Its credentials can be initialized by a call to s3init with the string "solutionData", or the constant S3_DMP_SOLUTIONDATA which evaluates to it.

The following example shows how to initialize a bucket called mybucket: 
model DmpInitExample
  uses "s3"
  declarations
    mybucket: s3bucket
  end-declarations
  ! Initialize mybucket using ‘solutionData’ set of credentials
  s3init(mybucket, S3_DMP_SOLUTIONDATA)
  if s3status(mybucket)<>S3_OK then
    writeln("Bucket initialization error: ", s3getlasterror(mybucket))
    exit(1)
  end-if
! mybucket now initialized and can be used
end-model
From this point, mybucket is available to your Mosel code via an API that allows you to manipulate cloud-based files (upload, download, delete) and their metadata and tags, and access status objects that report on the success or failure of your API calls.

Using FICO Drive to share files between solutions

When invoked by Xpress Insight, a Mosel model instance is automatically configured to access a bucket available to all DMP components in your tenant. Its credentials can be initialized by a call to s3init with constant S3_DMP_TENANTSHARED which evaluates to it. Note that this single bucket is shared between component lifecycles - there are not separate buckets for design, staging and production.

The following example shows how to initialize a bucket called mybucket : 
model DmpInitExample
  uses "s3"
  declarations
    mybucket: s3bucket
  end-declarations
  ! Initialize mybucket using ‘tenantShared' set of credentials
  s3init(mybucket, S3_DMP_TENANTSHARED)
  if s3status(mybucket)<>S3_OK then
    writeln("Bucket initialization error: ", s3getlasterror(mybucket))
    exit(1)
  end-if
! mybucket now initialized and can be used
end-model

From this point, mybucket is available to your Mosel code via an API that allows you to manipulate cloud-based files (upload, download, delete) and their metadata and tags, and access status objects that report on the success or failure of your API calls.
