Thanks for quick response@Ravi Mutyala

But here my concern i could not see any FILE View instance to expand,How to enable this?

Browse to the Ambari Administration interface.
Click Views, expand the Files View, and click Create Instance.

@rama

By default you should see the default file view instance. If not then check the "/var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log" file to see if your default File View instance got deployed or not? You should see some entries like following:

INFO [main] ViewRegistry:1656 - Reading view archive /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/files-2.4.1.0.22.jar.
INFO [main] ViewRegistry:1747 - setting up logging for view FILES{1.0.0} as per property file view.log4j.properties
INFO [main] ViewRegistry:1811 - Auto creating instance of view FILES for cluster ClusterDemo.
INFO [main] ViewRegistry:1689 - View deployed: FILES{1.0.0}.

. If you do not see those entries there means the file view is not deployed ... so you need to find out if the view jar is present in ambari installation or not?

Please check the following directory if you have the file view jar present there or not? (Version might be different in your case)

# ls -l /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/files-2.2.2.xxx.jar 
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42287295 Dec  2 11:50 /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/files-2.2.2.xxx.jar

Also check if the user who is running Ambari Server has the read permission to this jar.

Once ambari deploys the views properly you should see directories created in the "work: folder as following:

]#  ls -l /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/work/   | grep -i FILES
drwxr-xr-x  7 root root 4096 Dec  2 11:52 FILES{1.0.0}

You can try deleting the "/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/views/work" directory and then restart ambari server so that it will recreate the "work" directory and extract the views jars there.
