Joel - I appreciate that you are using all available avenues to pursue this problem. Has this problem been escalated within BMC?
Thanks, Scott Hamilton Project Manager Information Technology Department City of Cambridge, MA 617-349-7718 -----Original Message----- From: Joel Sender [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2014 10:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: PERFORM-ACTION-ADD-ATTACHMENT fails 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?
