trying to add an attachment via OData in a test environment with FSM6u6. I have encoded the binary file with base64 but I cannot seem to upload the file
URL - http://fsmURL//odata/attachment
parameter -
{
"attachment@odata.mediaEditLink":"encoded the binary file with base64",
"attachment_name":"testtwo.jpg",
"file_type":"image/jpeg"
}
refer the attach image for the output.
is it possible to attach encoded the binary file with base64 in FSM using the above mentioned API?

See “WORKING WITH ATTACHMENTS AND IMAGES” starting on page 30 of the FSM6 OData REST APIs document (Help->Documentation->Integrations->FSM6 OData REST APIs. Especially keep in mind “Note that the file/url must be accessible to the FSM server” as mentioned on page 32.

+24Hi
I have not seen base64 given as an accepted format but I have passed this to R&D for them to give a definitive answer on this.
Kind regards,

To upload binary data through OData service, we need to save the file in a location where OData service has access to read the file.
URL specified in attachment@odata.mediaEditLink should be accessible from the OData service.
E.g.
As a file URL.
POST http://<servername>/<fsmserver>/odata/attachment
{
"attachment@odata.mediaEditLink": "file://mkepde64/M5Attachments/626175160.jpg",
"attachment_id": 1209,
"attachment_name": "uploaded through odata",
"file_type": "image/jpeg"
}
As a URL.
POST http://<servername>/<fsmserver>/odata/attachment
{
"attachment@odata.mediaEditLink": "https://fsmdev64-rnd.ifsworld.com/uploads/dell_install_guide.pdf",
"attachment_name": "Attachment created through OData",
"file_type": "application/pdf"
}
When creating an attachment with an OData service hosted in Azure, we can use a fileshare created in the storage account associated with FSM server.
POST https://fsm6qa.fsm.ifsdevworld.com/odata/attachment
Body
{
"attachment@odata.mediaEditLink": "fsmshare/inbound/exceptions/000freezer.jpg",
"attachment_name": "FSMZ-2916 OData upload",
"file_type": "image/jpeg"
}
