Document not getting uploaded with entire content

Hello All,

I am using the new 18.3 version, in which I was trying to upload the document generated in Appian to external content store using integrations and REST api call.

The result obtained is successful, but when I check in external content store, the size is 1Kb and its corrupted.

External content store: Documentum 7.3

CMIS connector works fine, but the requirement is to use REST api.

Not sure, if it because of configuration from Documentum missed or something else.

Looking forward for some input on this...

Thanks in advance,

Divya

I can't quickly find a RAML/API definition for these creation calls, so this is a total guess, but I'm wondering if the content-type of that second multi-part request should be binary instead of JSON.

Hello Justin, yes you are correct. The content type required for the API is binary. As multi-part is so being supported by Appian 18.3, I tried with it. Any idea how to convert the appian document in binary format?

The best way is by using Upload File smart service. Alternatively, you can also try using base64 format but be cautious as it impacts performance when multiple & large operations are performed. One more point is even if there are less operations, the output that we get is of more size than the actual document that is sent.
Please go through the link for Upload File Smart Service - docs.appian.com/.../HTTP_File_Upload_Smart_Service.html

Thanks.
