I have created the following to attach a EDM file to an email, but I am getting this error in app messages:

Hi @JannetteC 

 

According to your code, file_name_ should be the path for the file. SInce you are in Apps10, you can use Batch_Transfer_Handler_Api to copy the file to a folder in application server and use the path.

Read this post on how to fetch documents to a server folder and attach in the email 

https://dsj23.me/2017/03/20/include-additional-attachments-in-ifs-e-mail-report/

 

But a more future proof solution would be to get the files from edm file storage and attached to the email itself.

See below topic on a nice example on this approach.

Following blog aims for IFS Cloud but it should work for IFS10 as well

Hope it helps!

Hi @dsj ,

Thanks for you comment, however I am unable to access this link as it is for selected users.

I have written the code and it appears to mostly work, however if a PO does not have a document to be attached it adds what was on the previous email.  

Is there a way to clear the attachments array after the email have been produced and sent ?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @JannetteC 

If you are sending mails for different POs inside a loop, you need to clear the attachment array first. Can you share your code, so it could be easy to find what’s wrong :)

Seems you are not resetting the attachment array inside the loop.

Hope it will be a 1 line fix 😎

Add attachments_.DELETE; after sending the mail to reset the attachment array and see if it works!

 

Cheers!
