Rename attachment filename

[Former Community Member]

Hi,



I have a watched folder that read a pdf file into document variable in a workflow. In the workflow, the document is copy to an attachment. The problem is that, the filename of the attachment is alway "attach0". How can i change the filename before attach to the workflow?



I tried setDocAttribute with attribute name "filename", "name", or "file". None of them work.



Thank you for any help.

use one of the document object function called setDocumentAttribute. This function takes the document,the attribute to set,attributeProperty

so to set the filename of the attachment you would use

setDocumentAttribute(/process_data/documentTochange,"wsfilename","NewName.pdf")

The document functions can be found in the xpath builder in workbench

Any further question do let me know

thanks

Thanks for reply.



I tried using setDocAttribute but it does not work. I tried with different attribute name like "filename", "name", "file", all does not work.



I use the setDocAttribute on a document variable type before I attach the document to the user service operation.

The attribute name is "wsfilename"

SetDocAttribute returns a document object,after you use the setDocumentAttribute add the returned document to a listOfDocuments, then pass this into the user service,you can mail me the process mergeandfuse@gmail.com

I can take a look

Thank you very much WorkflowUser, I have tried what you suggested and it works. My initial fault is because I used a string variable as the return for the setDocAttribute.



Thanks...:)
