to fetch internal filepath

Hello,

Something like the following should help. Given an Appian document ID, it will return the filepath. I am not sure if there is a way to retrieve the .zip files that have been imported as patches to the Appian environment, but this method will allow you to access Appian documents if you know their IDs.

import com.appiancorp.suiteapi.content.ContentConstants; 
import com.appiancorp.suiteapi.content.ContentService; 

public class AppianDocumentUtil { 
    private ContentService contentService; 
    
    //The Smart Service / Function class creating an instance of this class should receive a ContentService object in its constructor 
    public AppianDocumentUtil(ContentService cs) { 
        contentService = cs; 
    } 
    
    //Replace with specific Exception handling
    public String getFilepathToCurrentVersionOfDocument(Long document) throws Exception { 
        Long currentVersionId = contentService.getVersionId(document, ContentConstants.VERSION_CURRENT); 
        return contentService.getInternalFilename(currentVersionId); 
    } 
}

Will this work for anything other than Appian Documents?

Since i am using extract zip smart service i will be able to get the document id's as output. So i think it will work this way. Thank you

That is an unusual requirement. Can you elaborate on your use case?

It's also worth noting that plugins that attempt to modify the filesystem may not always be permitted for use in Appian Cloud (depending on what it is that they are trying to do, and how they are trying to do it).
