Attach Local Files to an Email
Backlog | Title | Description |

B-03133 | Ability to attach local files as email attachment | This addresses the requirement to allow file attachments for Email tasks and also now supports binary files (such as pdfs) as attachments for Email Tasks and Email Notifications.
Previously restrictions existed because file attachments to Email Notifications were treated as output objects which did not support binary file types. Similarly email Tasks do not have a relationship with an agent and so were unable to fetch a remote file to attach.
To allow these capabilities customers can drop the required file attachments into a directory defined by a New opswise property to define a "single" directory location where files can be attached from. This is not configurable from the UI for security reasons, this should be enabled by the system admin rather than the UC admin. Every 10 minutes the opswise.properties will be read and if the opswise.email.attachments.local.path has changed, the new value in the opswise.properties will then be used within the Controller.
The files to be attached would need to be on a file system accessible to all Universal Controller cluster nodes within the HA configuration so that regardless of which cluster node is Active, the file can still be accessed.
Customers will be responsible for delivering files to the specified local email directory, and for maintaining (i.e. deleting) files in this directory. Customers should also be aware that all Email tasks (and potentially other types of tasks) will be able to access files in this directory.
Once the opswise.email.attachments.local.path has been set, the option to "Attach Local File" will be available in the Email Notifications and Email Tasks. |
