JavaScript object: Attachment

The following JavaScript object is unique to Service Manager. This object allows you to create attachments for use with doSOAPRequest methods. You have to manually define the value property of each attachment object. For binary data attachments, you can use the readFile global method to assign the value property. If you need to create multiple attachments for a doSOAPRequest request, you can use the push method to add each Attachment object to a JavaScript array.

Example

This example does the following:

• Assume there are two attachments in the incident IM10005
• Get the existing attachments from the IM10005
• Concatenate these two attachments to a string
• Create a new attachment which contains the concatenated string value
• Insert MyAttachment.txt into IM10005 as a new attachment

This example requires the following sample data:

• A binary file (for example, an image)

var f = new SCFile( 'probsummary' );    
var rc = f.doSelect( 'number = "IM10005"' );
var attachmentObj = f.getAttachments();
var str = "";
for ( var attachment in attachmentObj )     
{
print("Attachment Name:  "+ attachmentObj[ attachment ].name );
print("Attachment Value:  "+ attachmentObj[ attachment ].stringValue );
print("Attachment Value Length:  "+ attachmentObj[ attachment ].stringValue.length );
print("Attachment HREF:  "+ attachmentObj[ attachment ].href );
print("Attachment Type:  "+ attachmentObj[ attachment ].type); 
str+= attachmentObj[ attachment ].stringValue ;  
}   
//Create new attachment with a concatenated value
print("String Length:  "+str.length);      
var attachObj = new Attachment(); 
attachObj.type  = "text/plain";
attachObj.name  = "MyAttachment.txt";
attachObj.value = str;
var attachmentID = f.insertAttachment( attachObj );
print("AttachmentID:   "+attachmentID);
