Question

Several Document upload

I need to store a user id, along side several picture uploads all in a relational database. My solution for storing the pictures would be to save the pictures locally on appian and save the document ids on the database alongside the user id. However, with the way I have it implemented right now it seems I cannot pass in the user id into the body alongside the picture upload as it takes up the entire body. I also cannot attach several pictures for upload. I need a way to be able to pass in the user id and atleast 3 pictures into the body to be saved in the database.

This doesn't tell us anything about how you have written the code. Do you mind attaching the code snippet so I can understand better why you cannot do things you said you cannot do?

a!localVariables(

  /*Check whether the request body contains a document*/
  local!success: not(isnull(http!request.body)),

  if(
    local!success,

    /*If a document was uploaded, return a successful response*/
    a!httpResponse(
      statusCode: 200,
      headers: {},

      /*Print the document id, name, and extension of the uploaded document*/
      body: concat(
        "Upload Successful: ",
        document(http!request.body, "id"),
        " - ",
        document(http!request.body, "name"),
        ".",
        document(http!request.body, "extension")
      )
    ),

    /*If no document was uploaded, return an error code*/
    a!httpResponse(
      statusCode: 400,
      headers: {},
      body: "400 Document Not Provided"
    )
  )
)

    Seems like you are talking about implementing a web API, correct?

    AFAIK, a web API only accepts a single file. The user ID could be passed as a query parameter or a header.

    You can construct your request body like this. 

    {
  userId: 2,
  documents: todocument({7585,7538})
}
