Create resource directory
To work with data sources in Business Analytics Feed Editor that are file-based, such as Excel spreadsheets, CSV files or XML files, you must store the files in a resource directory that the Integrated Business Analytics Server knows. This can be the default resource directory:
MashZoneNG-install/mashzone/data/resources
Or it can be any subdirectory of the default.
You can also use resource directories to control access to data source files to specific users or groups.
Procedure
1. Click 
Admin Console in the Business Analytics Hub main menu. 2. Click Resource alias -> Resource alias in the Administration menu.
3. Click Resource alias to open the resource alias page.
4. Click Create.
5. Give the directory an alias name of your choice in the Resource directory input box.
You cannot modify the alias name later.
6. Enter the Path of the new resource directory.
7. Click Add resource.
The new resource directory is created and is displayed in the list with the specified alias.
