uploader

BAMS -> CLAMS Uploader Utility

This utility processes BAMS CSV export files exported using the BAMS Exporter and posts the entries as messages to an SQS queue (clams-nonprod-attendees-input-queue by default). It makes no differentiation between new and existing attendees and as such isn't all that efficient.

Building it

To build the uploader:

% go build uploader

Testing it

To test it use the example-data.csv file. Note you'll need to provide AWS credentials sufficient to write to SQS:

% ./uploader -csv example-data.csv -sqs clams-nonprod-attendee-input-queue -region=eu-west-2

Using it with BAMS

To use it with BAMS copy the binary file to the same directory as your BAMS executable:

% cp uploader ~/path/to/BAMS/

Now go to BAMS, if you need to build all the binary files with:

% cd ~/path/to/BAMS/
% ./build.sh

Run BAMS (you will need to pass AWS credentials to the environment for the uploader to work within BAMS) and hit the F12 from the Home Screen. You should see some output like this:
