Hi Greg, There is a KB article on this; Remedy uses a proprietary protocol for this. Tough luck, I'm sorry...
-- Michiel P R O B L E M ------------------------------ Questions regarding attachments in ARS and whether it has a unique conversion system of the attachment files (in the attachment pool field in the mid-tier) and permeates a virus checker. 1) Does ARS compress the attachment files between browser and ARS server? 2) If yes, where? 3) Does ARS use a standard compress format or a unique compress format for ARS? 4) Does the communication between the browser and the mid-tier use a HTTP protocol? 5) Does ARS use the same mechanism which a HTTP protocol has when uploading/downloading the attachment files in the browser? S O L U T I O N ------------------------------ 1) Does ARS compress the attachment files between browser and ARS server? [SUPPORT ANSWER] Yes. 2) If yes, where? [SUPPORT ANSWER] The compression and decompression happens at the API level. 3) Does ARS use a standard compress format or a unique compress format for ARS? [SUPPORT ANSWER] We use a proprietary algorithm based on zlib. 4) Does the communication between the browser and the mid-tier use a HTTP protocol? [SUPPORT ANSWER] Yes we use HTTP protocol. Customers can choose to use HTTPS instead for more security if they wish. 5) Does ARS use the same mechanism which a HTTP protocol has when uploading/downloading the attachment files in the browser? [SUPPORT ANSWER] Yes, HTTP is used for both uploading and downloading of attachments.

Hi Listers, Has anyone figured out what compression method is used to store attachments as blobs in Oracle yet. I thought I would use Oracle FTS instead of AR FTS as it wont cost us any extra but it cant create FTS indexes on the compressed text in the column. Thanks in advance
