Hey Suprakash,

Write a INSERT BUSINESS RULE -

var gr = new GlideRecord ('u_candidate_database');

gr.addQuery(Filter_condition);

gr.query();

if(gr.next())

{

var rm = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
       rm.setHttpMethod('GET');
       var url = gs.getProperty("glide.servlet.uri") + current.getTableName()+ '.do?PDF&sys_id=' + current.sys_id;
       rm.setEndpoint(url);
       rm.setBasicAuth(gs.getProperty('glide.user.userid'), gs.getProperty('glide.user.password'));
       rm.saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(gr.getTableName(),gr.sys_id,current.number+".pdf");
       var response = rm.execute();

}

Have you created that PROPERTY "glide.user.userid and glide.user.password" in sys_properties table??

Thanks Nayan,

just one question , the process will it work when any another user other than admin will work on it ??

If you pass NON ADMIN User then it will not work.
