Javascript is executed using Nashorn, so it is possible to load extra JavaScript using the “load” function (https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/Nashorn/Nashorn+extensions), but you may need to modify the Security Manager to give it permission to load the files (https://docs.streamsets.com/portal/platform-datacollector/latest/datacollector/UserGuide/Configuration/DCEnvironmentConfig.html#concept_tm4_pbg_ht)

Hello,

So I tried loading a file, xlsx.js as I require the xlsx library for my script.

When I am using the require function as mentioned in this blog Calling External Libraries from the JavaScript Evaluator | StreamSets

It is giving me error that the require function is undefined.

Can you kindly help me with the same

 

Thanks

Have you updated $SDC_CONF/sdc-security.policy file and added the required permission?

// Set global perm so that JS can load scripts from this directory// Note - this means any code in the JVM can read this dir!grant {  permission java.io.FilePermission "/folder/file/-", "read";};

Make sure the file is loaded on the SDC server and the path is pointing to the folder on SDC machine.

The file is loaded on the SDC server and the path is pointing to the folder as well. Still it’s not able to find the “require” function
