Hello All,
I am exporting records from one of my custom tables via Export Sets.
These records are being exported from my DEV ServiceNow Instance to a specific folder of a MID Server of mine, installed on a Windows Server.
The exportation is happening through csv files. This is the format option I use for the records exportation and I want it to stay the same (csv).
Some of the records have jpg images and pdf files attached to them.
Once the Export Set gets run -> the records get exported to the specified MID Server location as a csv file. Yet, the attached pdf or jpg files don't get exported.
Could you please share with me some thoughts how I can achieve exporting the attachments of the records to the folder in which the csv file of the records gets directed during the export?
Thank you!
Regards, Georgi

Export sets support multiple file types for exporting and pushing data.
You can export to these formats:
- CSV
- XML
- Excel
- JSON

Ok, I found the reason why I cannot see the attached to the exported records files, after the Export Set gets completed.
It is simple - Export Sets do not export attachments to records.
I will review the below topics and try to use one of the described approaches:
