IPA Email attachment from LSF

Does anyone know if it's possible to have an attachment in the IPA email node that resides on the LSF server? I keep getting a 'does not exist' error, but the file does exist and I can open it from the path that I have specified in the attachment. I'm hoping it's just that I'm using the wrong configuration. If I don't have an attachment, my emails are working. Thanks!

Output data:

javax.mail.SendFailedException: Attachment: \chslwterpd$lsfdevlawprintcovenant_nt_lawsonPR539CBORD1PR539.prt does not exist.

I have never attempted an attachment but verify via Rich Client Configuration > File Access > File Activity Connection and the LSF connection values are accurate and working. Also, you may have to copy the attachment to another folder on the LSF server as that depth of the path may not be reachable by the IPA process executing the flow.

When we moved to IPA I had to add a FTP node in the flows to move the files from LSF to Landmark.

Good morning Lynne,

Currently the Email node lacks the configuration to be able to attach an email from a remote server. You should move that file to LASYSDIR/LPS/emailattachments folder then simply reference the file. Or move the file to a directory of your choosing on the Landmark server then reference the absolute path to file. example E:MyEmailAttachmentsfilename.txt

You may encounter some people who will tell you that you could create a UNC share from Landmark to LSF to accomplish this. However, please ignore that advice for the time being we have seen alot of "inconsistency" issues when using a mapped drive or unc share between servers.

I've heard several people request the email node be able to access a "remote" file like the File Access node, but that is not in current code. You could open an enhancement request for this.

Thank you- I will move the file (and open an enhancement request).
