Getting error while assigning the value to Process parameter of type "FILE"

16:07 Apr 22, 2022

Hi Community,

I have created one Process parameter of type "FILE" as follows:

I am trying to assign the value in a script task. The script task contains the following code:

var recordId = Get<Guid>("FileID");
 
IFileFactory fileFactory = UserConnection.GetFileFactory();
var fileLocator = new EntityFileLocator("ContactFile", recordId);
IFile file = fileFactory.Get(fileLocator);
 
Set("FILE",file);
 
return true;

After running the process I am getting the following error,

Request a help here to understand what am I doing wrong.

Thanks,

Sourav Kumar Samal

Hi Sourav,

The problem here is that this parameter stores not the file itself, but the file locator. If you redesign the code as:

var recordId = Get&lt;Guid&gt;("FileID");
IFileFactory fileFactory = UserConnection.GetFileFactory();
var fileLocator = new EntityFileLocator("ContactFile", recordId);
Set("FILE", fileLocator );
return true;

the process will be executed properly.

Best regards,

Oscar
