SDK. C#. How can I redirect attachments to subdirectories?

[Former Member]

Hello. I need redirect attachment files in subdirectory of shared attachments directory via C#. Business object Attachments2 provides only sourcePath field, but not trgtPath. Is it possible to overwrite trgtPath? Even if move the file, then the target path will be invalid. I need function such as "Change Path" in context menu of attachment. Thank you.

Hi Roman,

The attachments are always copied to the folder defined in SAP Business One as the attachment folder.

From the SDK:

"The Attachments2 object enables to copy files from a source folder to the Attachments folder that is defined through the application."

You can define the attachments folder in the client, or using the PathAdmin object e.g.:

// Get the path admin object  
CompanyService com_service = DICompany.GetCompanyService(); 
oPathAdmin = com_service.GetPathAdmin(); 
// Set new paths 
oPathAdmin.WordTemplateFolderPath = "c:\Documnets\Templates\"; 
oPathAdmin.PicturesFolderPath = "c:\Documnets\Pictures\"; 
oPathAdmin.AttachmentsFolderPath = "c:\Documnets\Data\"; 
oPathAdmin.ExtensionsFolderPath = "c:\Documnets\Extention\"; 
// Update paths 
com_service.UpdatePathAdmin(oPathAdmin);

Note that you can't move the file afterward, otherwise the "link" will be broken.
