Landmark - Mass move contract attachments

I have a requirement to move contract attachments for a few hundred contracts to a new contracts. I'm looking for a viable means of doing this in an automated fashion.

With IPA I can get attachments but I'm not having any luck saving them to the new contract. I've tried with a webrun node and a landmark node. With a webrun node I'm closer to successful, ascii files work, but binary files fail (they upload but upon trying to view them they are 'corrupted', they aren't being uploaded as binary).

I've also investigated using Postman runner but keep running into various issues there as well.

Has anyone done anything like this before? If so, what method did you use?

Have you tried writing the attachment to a PfiFileStorage record with a File Access activity, and then for the Attachment.File field in the Landmark activity to create the ContractAttachment specify "file://YOUR_PATH_TO_PFI_FILE_STORAGE_RECORD_HERE"?

What happens when you select Attachment.File (Binary Document field) from one ContractAttachment record with a landmark activity, and create a new ContractAttachment record with another landmark activity, mapping the Attachment.File field from the previous landmark activity? You'll likely also need to map Attachment.Title and Attachment.MimeType.

For a web run activity and binary data, you might have to base64 encode the data.

When I map one landmark action directly to the other I get the error "Action is not valid"

With the web run node I did try all sorts of base64 encoding and decoding and it seemed like no matter what I did the file was not being transmitted properly. I'm going to have another look at this though.

Can you confirm the status and source of the Contract you are trying to move the attachment to? The Create action on the ContractAttachment is only valid when the CanCreateUpdateDelete condition is true.

Someone else was modifying data as I was testing, so yes, that was an inactive contract I was testing with. Using an active contract now, I get "Invalid properties string Token[';'], line 2"

Was just having a meeting with a few others on our team and I think I have a solution. I can use an IPA to get the files and ftp them to our server. From there I can grab the files and then use Postman runner to upload them with Infor's api call directly.

It's a little roundabout but should work
