RESTMessageV2 - saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(String tableName, String recordSysId, String fileName)

Configures the REST message to save the returned response body as an attachment record.

When you use this function with a REST message that is sent through a MID server, the MID server user must have any roles required to read and write attachment records, as well as any roles required to read and write records on the table specified in the tableName parameter.

The response body does not need to be a binary file to be saved as an attachment. Response bodies using text formats, such as JSON or XML can also be saved. If the instance fails to save the attachment, call getErrorMessage() on the related RESTResponseV2 object for error details.

Name Type Description tableName String Specify the table that contains the record you want to attach the saved file to. recordSysId String Specify the sys_id of the record you want to attach the saved file to. fileName String Specify the file name to give to the saved file. Type Description void
