GetBase64 content of attachment

[fabrizio95360]

I'm trying to send an attachment in base64, when I print in the logs the base64 string format doesn't appear, I don't understand why, this is my code:

var grAttach = new GlideRecord('sys_attachment');
grAttach .get('01ecf2f84785395002ccefb2e36d438f');
var attachment = new GlideSysAttachment();
gs.info('ATTACHMENT '+attachment.getContentBase64(grAttach));

Hi @fabrizio95360 ,

Try the following code and this works in Global scope too.

var StringUtil = new GlideStringUtil();
var gsis = GlideSysAttachmentInputStream("01ecf2f84785395002ccefb2e36d438f");
var baos = new Packages.java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream();
gsis.writeTo(baos);
baos.close();
var base64Data = StringUtil.base64Encode(baos.toByteArray());
gs.info('ATTACHMENT ' + base64Data);

Hi Anvesh,

The script is helpful, but I am still seeing the scoped error in the logs when executing it and do you know if how we can send this base64 data as key pair value in the json body, would be helpful.

I am sending it after the above code usage this way :

var body=

{

  'sys_id': sysidstring,

'attachment' : base64Data,

        'attachment_name' : attachmentname

};

var bodyString=JSON.stringify(body);

 request1.setRequestBody(bodyString);

Thank you,

Laxmi.
