Send attachments to Mid Server

[prabh]

Hi All,

How can I send attachments from Service now instance to a folder in mid server

[Chris P_]

Uhm I'm doing this:

var sa = new GlideSysAttachment();
 var binData = sa.getBytes(gr); //Get attachment
 var encData = GlideStringUtil.base64Encode(binData); //encode attachment 
var ftpFilePath = "D:\\Output\\Test\\"; //local path on midserver
var fileName = "test.pdf";

(where gr is a sys_attachment record)

followed by:

var jspr = new JavascriptProbe("Mid server DEV"); // Creates a dynamic probe for the mid server specified in quotes.
 //gs.log('Begin create file probe');
 jspr.setName('FileToMidServer'); //This is a arbitrary name for the dynamic probe
 jspr.setJavascript("var ddr = new AttachmentSender(); res= ddr.execute();"); //this is the script the probe must run. In this case it calls a mid server script include.
 jspr.addParameter("targetFileName",fileName);
 jspr.addParameter("encodedData",encData);
 jspr.addParameter("targetPath",ftpFilePath);
 jspr.create();

After which I start a workflow which uses powershell to move the file to the networkfolder I want.
Directly creating the file on a networkdrive with jspr took waaaay too long

I hope this helps 🙂

Thanks! That sounds like a good strategy. For now I got the script to work finally, but maybe using a workflow and powershell is a smarter way of doing this.

Glad to be of service 🙂

You'll still need to use this to 'download' the attachment though...

Did you manage to fix it, I am stuck at the same step and with the same error?
