How to attach a generated file to a record from a business process

Hello,

 

I have a web service that generates a file. I need to attach that file to a record. I see there is an option to the Process File Component passing a File as parameter, but the Parameter is Expecting a IFileLocator. How can I use a script to create a IFileLocator from a full file path on Creatio Studio version 8.1? 

 

Thanks,

Jose

Hello,

You should use a script task to work with files from the web service.

 

More details about the API file:

Thanks Cherednichenko. Using the information provided I wrote the C# below to attach a generated file to a record.



public void AttachFile(string schemaName, Guid recordId, string fullFilePath) {

            /* Create a unique ID for the new file. */

            Guid fileId = Guid.NewGuid(); 

            /* Create a file locator for the new file. */

            var fileLocator= new EntityFileLocator("SysFile", fileId); 

            /* Get an IFile object for the new file. */ 

            IFile file = UserConnection.CreateFile(fileLocator); 

            /* There is no file metadata or file content in the available file storages. Specify the file name in the file metadata. */

            file.Name = (new System.IO.FileInfo(fullFilePath)).Name; 

            /* Set an attributes for the new file: */

            file.SetAttribute("RecordSchemaName", schemaName); 

            file.SetAttribute("RecordId", recordId);             

            /* Save the file metadata Do this BEFORE saving the content. */

            file.Save(); 

            using (var sourceStream = new FileStream( fullFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read, bufferSize: 4096, useAsync: true)) {

                file.Write(sourceStream, FileWriteOptions.SinglePart);            

            }

        }
