Add Attachments to Workflow

Guy_Turton

Hi,

I'm able to initiate a workflow through LAPI, However, I'm having issues trying to add a new document to the attachments section of the new workflow.

I can get the attachments folder id by using when looping through the workflow packages: "UserData")

However, whenever I try to adding the new document using:

I cannot see the new document in the workflow attachments...... the doc was added successfully to Livelink and if I do a nickname seach for the attachments folder, the attachments section is there. .... just not in the new workflow.  It's like the AttachmentsFolderID that I get above is for some other workflow. Any ideas?????

docs.CreateObjectEx(VolumeID, folderID, LAPI_DOCUMENTS.OBJECTTYPE, LAPI_DOCUMENTS.DOCUMENTSUBTYPE, docName, createInfo, objectInfo)

AttachmentsFolderID = wfPackage.toValue(x).toInteger(

Maybe you have got it working but I think you just have to get the correct Volumeid as well.When you say

this

  if (doc.CreateObjectEx(volumeID, attDataID, LAPI_DOCUMENTS.OBJECTTYPE, LAPI_DOCUMENTS.DOCUMENTSUBTYPE, "New Document Name", createInfo, objectInfo) != 0)

Livelink internally associates go and put the document in the dataid =attdataid and use the volumeid  as

eneterprise.Most of the times it works for enterprise objects.But the workflow attchment in my theory is a different volumeid so that is why it lands in a different place.

I have this java code that goes like this

  Start workflow(I cheated I used a already generated workflow)

Get attachment ID

Get the real volumeiD of the attachment ID

and then call the createObjectEx.

My java source is encclosed
