Important For non-segment activations, such as batch DMO and API activations, the output file name always uses `<ActivationName>`, irrespective of the activation target’s predetermined file name selection.

## Find Activated Files in Amazon S3

After you create and activate segments to Amazon S3, a subfolder called Salesforce-c360-Segments is automatically created when the first segment is activated to Amazon S3.

Access Amazon S3.

- For activations with S3 (Legacy) as the target, a subfolder called Salesforce-c360-Segments is automatically created when the first segment/DMO is activated. Go to the path /{bucket}/{parentFolder}/Salesforce\_c360\_Segments.
    - For segment activations, activated files are created in the format {yyyy}/{MM}/{dd}/{HH}/{segmentName}\_{activationName}\_{yyyyMMddHHmmssSS}/
    - For batch DMO activations, activated files are created in the format {yyyy}/{MM}/{dd}/{HH}/{activationName}\_{yyyyMMddHHmmssSS}/
- For activations with Amazon S3 as the target, activated files are placed in the parent or child directory based on your configuration. Go to the path /{bucket}/{parentFolder}/{childFolder}/{automaticFolder} based on your configuration.
    - For segment activations, activated files are created in the format {segmentName}\_{activationName}\_DateTimeSuffix\_Part#.FileFormat.CompressionFormat.PGPEncryption
    - For batch DMO activations, activated files are created in the format {activationName}\_DateTimeSuffix\_Part#.FileFormat.CompressionFormat.PGPEncryption.

## Find Activated Files in SFTP Server

After you create and activate segments/DMOs to the SFTP server, activated files are placed accordingly in the parent or child directory based on your configuration.

1. Access the SFTP server.
2. Go to the server you configured in SFTP target.
3. Go to the path /Parent directory/Child directory/Automatic folder based on your configuration.
