For what you're trying to do, you actually don't need to build a full plug‑in. IBM BAW already gives you everything you need to implement a simple CSV‑upload flow using standard coach views and a couple of integration services.
A straightforward approach would look like this:
- Create a new Coach View
- Use the default File Uploader coach view. You can configure it to only allow .csv files or add a quick client‑side check if needed.
- Pass the uploaded file to an Ajax Service
- Use the Service Call coach view to automatically pass the uploaded file into your validation service.
- Inside that validation integration service:
- read the CSV
- perform the required validations
- if valid, call your DB import logic
- return a structured success or error message
- And then finally just display the result in your coach view

Subject: ICN Plug-in to Upload a CSV File
Hi All,
Requirement: I need to create a plug-in which should provide an option to upload a csv file.
Next Steps:
1.Once it is uploaded, the service will do validations.
2.If validations are ok, do import the records in to DB.
3.Give success or error message to the user.
Regards,
Ravi
