Uploading Attachment to the WI in RTC


Parveen Patel (77125) | asked May 13 '15, 6:09 a.m.
Hi,

I am trying to upload attachment to the WI from specified directory using plain java client library API.
I am trying to implement that using example available in this below blog:

https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/uploading-attachments-to-work-items/

I have written code to take file from specified path but it will not take the attachment from the specified directory.

Please,any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have this code - basically your example and it works for me on drive C and D.

Call parameters:
https://clm.example.com:9443/ccm/ ralph ralph  21 "D:\temp\test.txt"
https://clm.example.com:9443/ccm/ ralph ralph  21 "D:\aatemp\test.txt"

Note the filetype, encoding etc is still hard coded.

There is no way to answer your question with this few information provided. I have reused the very same code numerous times and it always worked. Unless you can come up with an exception or better description what does not work, we can't help.

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your response,
Program is running successfully I am not getting any exception and document is attached successfully to WI.I am facing problem that it will not take attachment from specified path It will go to the E directory and search for the document Test.txt. 
       
I have used same attach file and execute method in  blog.
To call the operation I have used following code:
final String ATTACH_PATH = "E:\Downloads\";
        String name = "Test.txt";
        String fileName1=ATTACH_PATH+name;
        WorkItemUploadAttachmentModification operation = new WorkItemUploadAttachmentModification(fileName1,IContent.CONTENT_TYPE_TEXT,IContent.ENCODING_UTF_8);
        IWorkItemHandle handle= operation.run(workItemType, null);
        IWorkItem workItem= auditableClient.resolveAuditable(handle,IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null);

Is anything missing in this please help me with this.
