This Integration Pack enables you to
process attachments that have been added to Atrium CMDB
forms.
First, select a folder on any
computer in your network where you want to save attachments. For
instructions, see
step
9
in the “
Configuring
BMC Atrium CMDB Options” topic. If you do not select an
attachments folder, attachments will be saved to the system
temporary folder. The system temporary folder is defined in the
Microsoft Windows System Variables configuration, and is specified
in either the TMP, TEMP, or USERPROFILE environment variable, or if
none of these have been configured, in the Windows folder.
Each object in this Integration Pack
enables you to select the Atrium CMDB fields that you want to
convert into Published Data items (click the Select Published Data
button on a Properties
dialog). When you select a
field that contains an attachment, a Published Data item is
created. This Published Data item reveals the path of the
attachment, and saves the attachment to to the path that you
specified, or to the system temporary path. The attachment is
assigned a filename that is a combination of the Atrium CMDB entry
ID, the Atrium CMDB entry number, a dash, and the original
filename. The original file type and extension are preserved. The
name of this Published Data item is determined by the name assigned
to the field in the form in BMC Atrium CMDB.
Attachment files are not deleted
automatically from the attachments folder. You must configure a
Delete File object to delete the files from the attachments folder
to keep the folder clear.
