IPA - S3 only attaching custom file to email

Create a variable that includes the full path and file name. Then use that variable for both the File Action node and E-mail attachment.

Man, you are fast! And correct!

I have no problem creating the file, but from my reading it appears that in LPA (IPA) the system hard codes that all attached files be on the email server.

in 9 I could set a variable to attach it to the email using (EX)  GENDIR + /bpm/file.csv

to attach the file  (when I defined the file as file.csv on the write statement..etc)

(since by default these go to the bpm directory)

I need a solution that will work both on the test server and when we move to production - without making code changes.   I really don't want to hardcode anything if I can help it. 

It may be that the I have to use the OTHER option on the attachment tab?   Any other options ...again, don't want to hardcode all the string.

Hi MC - It appears you've found a bug...

I just created test flows in IPA 9.2.5 and in IPA 10.1.1.4.  The 9.2.5 flow worked correctly by creating the file where I told it to put it, and attaching that file to the email.  However, the 10.1.1.4 version did NOT do this, and I got the "Attachment: null\system\LPS\emailattachments\{whatever} does not exist." error on the email node.

Sounds like it needs to be submitted as a bug.

I've attached screenshots of my flow, in case anyone want to validate.

NOT GOOD!!!

I did a little more fiddling this morning, and I'm feeling much better. 

I uploaded the LMRK10 version of the flow to the server and ran it, and it worked perfectly and pulled the file from the location I designated in the variable.

I also realized that in the LMRK9 Designer, it doesn't actually attach the attachment to the email, but instead includes a note in the email that says:  "These attachments would be sent in run mode:  ".  It seems that the v10 desiger

Something is goofy with Designer, but the server seems to be working fine - at least on v10.1.1.4.

 I have been running these on the server (IPA S3 only - 10.1)

My logic looks similar to what you have in the example that you supplied last night.  In you response this AM are you saying it is now working ?  What I get is exactly what you are getting in the example you posted.



thanks again

When I run my sample flow on the server, it works fine.  When I run it in Designer, it fails.

This is IPA running on Landmark on our TM server, but this functionality should be the same since they are both running on the Landmark grid.  You may need to open a ticket with IGS to figure out what's going on.
