I have an ongoing case for this at BMC, but maybe the ARSlist can shed some light...
Using a development ARS 8.1.1 server on Windows Server with an MS/SQL back-end. Custom application, simple workflow: run a process to create a PDF file and then attach it to a record in an ARS form. I execute a Run Process to create a PDF file "D:\$PerNumb$.pdf" where the $PerNumb$ is correctly taken from the current record. The file is definitely created correctly. I then attempt to add that file into an Attachment Pool in a filter Run-Process action with this command: PERFORM-ACTION-ADD-ATTACHMENT 617001300 "D:\$PerNumb$.pdf" The field ID is for the Attachment Pool That failed, too. I then tried several iterations of filters with and without the Tick-Bang (`!), but no luck. I submitted a ticket to BMC when the 'Run Process' failed and they suggested that I use a Set-Field action instead. I tried the Set-Field in an Active Link that executed After-Modify - to ensure that the file was created in a filter before attempting the attachment. Using an integer field to accept the Exit Code, I set the field to $PROCESS$ PERFORM-ACTION-ADD-ATTACHMENT 617001300 "D:\$PerNumb$.pdf" Same error in ALL cases: File pointer is NULL or invalid file pointer. (ARERR 295) Have I missed something basic? Has anyone gotten around this?
