SAP Business One - Upload Attachment (to remote service location) - Internal Error (-43)

[vinayhatwal]

Hi Experts,

I'm having an issue uploading an attachment into SAP B1 via the Service Layer. I am able to upload an attachment using the SAP client without issue. I'm using Postman to test sending the request before I embed this into a real application.

Here's what my request looks like.

{
    "odata.metadata": "https://129.159.XXX.XXX:50000/b1s/v1/$metadata#Attachments2/@Element",
    "Attachments2_Lines": [
        {
            "LineNum": 1,
            "SourcePath": "C:\\BK1",
            "FileName": "ABC1",
            "FileExtension": "docx",
            "AttachmentDate": "2022-05-27",
            "Override": "tYES",
            "FreeText": null,
            "CopyToTargetDoc": "tNO"
        }
    ]
}

Here's the error that I'm getting which doesn't make sense to me. I can't find anything on this error and I was wondering if anyone had seen something like this before?

<code>{
    "error": {
        "code": -43,
        "message": {
            "lang": "en-us",
            "value": "Internal error (-43) occurred"
        }
    }
}

Note: It is working fine from the local network but when I am calling this from an external network, I am able to get and send the data as expected but File is not being uploaded.

Can you please help in it?

Thanks

Vinay,

This code below worked for me to add an entry to Attachments2 but it did not copy the file itself.

I think you may have to copy the file separately in this case to the locally mounted shared Linus attachments folder. Once I did this the file was available and could be added to a document by updating AttachmentEntry for the document.

POST https://hanab1vm2:50000/b1s/v2/Attachments2

{
"Attachments2_Lines": [
{
"SourcePath": "C:\\temp\\TEST06262002.txt",
"FileName": "TEST06262002",
"FileExtension": "txt",
"Override": "tYES",
"CopyToTargetDoc": "tYES"
}
]
}

RESULT:

{ "@odata.context": "https://hanab1vm2:50000/b1s/v2/$metadata#Attachments2/$entity", "AbsoluteEntry": 5, "Attachments2_Lines": [ { "AbsoluteEntry": 5, "LineNum": 1, "SourcePath": "C:\\temp\\TEST06262002.txt", "FileName": "TEST06262002", "FileExtension": "txt", "AttachmentDate": "2022-06-26", "Override": "tYES", "FreeText": null, "CopyToTargetDoc": "tYES" } ]}

"CopyToTargetDoc" seems to have no effect.

I hope this helps.

See my similar question at

Thank you Mel, Problem is resolved. It was having some kind of rights issues on the app server.

correction: to read and write to the shared folder.

[former_member260921]

The shared folder for attachments must be mounted in Linux with correct credentials to read to the shared folder.

If the shared folder is a Windows share, then the network user used by Linux to connect must be specifically enabled in Windows.
