Process Attachment Links

The Process Attachment Links task downloads attachments from specified URLs.

This task is intended to be used to add large attachments through Infor Rhythm for Civics. Rather than uploading a file directly, the user uploads it to an external site such as Dropbox and then enters the file's URL in Rhythm for Civics. The Process Attachment Links task then downloads the file from the specified URL and adds it to the specified EDM provider.

Setup

This task uses detail pages to store the URLs of the attachments to be downloaded. You must define a detail for each type of record that can have attachments, and these details must include specific properties that the task uses to process attachments. This table describes the properties that this task requires:

Property Data type Description
Url LongVarChar URL from which the file is to be downloaded.
Title Varchar Title of the attachment.
Description Varchar Description of the attachment.
Processed Boolean enumeration Indicates whether the file has been processed. After the file has been downloaded, the task sets this value to true.

In the Hansen8 configuration, the Attachment Links node under the ATTACHMENTS node specifies settings for this task. This table describes each attribute of this node:

Attribute Description
Agency Detail Moniker + Parent Bind Comma-separated list of detail page monikers for which attachment downloading is supported. For each detail page you must specify the moniker and the bind to the parent component, in the form Moniker:Bind. For example, for a service request detail you would enter something like InforClient.SRDtl.SRDetail:SRDetailKey.ServiceRequestNumber.
Note: For application details in the CDR modules, the parent bind must point to the generic Application object, not the application object for the specific module. For example, the moniker for a building application detail might be InforClient.BldgDtl.AppDtl:AppDtlKey.ApplicationDetailKey.BuildingApplication.Application.
Allowed Domains Comma-separated list of domains from which attachments may be downloaded. If you don't enter any domains, then all are allowed.
Document Type Document type that will be assigned to downloaded attachments.
EDM EDM provider to use for downloaded attachments.
Enabled Set to True to enable the attachment downloading functionality.
Max Content Length (In MB) Maximum file size for downloaded attachments. The default is 1536 MB (1.5 GB).
Request Timeout (Minutes) Number of minutes before a request to download an attachment will time out. The default is 60 minutes.

Also in the Hansen8 configuration, the IDM Execution Account attribute on the ATTACHMENTS node specifies the account to use if the task needs to access Infor Document Management. For example, Infor Document Management might be used for the EDM provider that you specify for the task.

Specify the Infor Federation Services ID associated with an Infor Public Sector user's Ming.le account. In Infor Public Sector this is shown in the Windows Name field in the User InfoViewer.
