Any interaction with OnScale is done through input and output files. These different file types provide flexibility in setup, execution, monitoring and post-processing. These files can be used as inputs to the code and for storing code output. The OnScale work-spaces all use a variety of different file types.
Used in OnScales Analyst mode and serves as an input to the code here output files can be requested by the user in the code.
