Using an Attachment connector

The Attachment output connector is used together with the SMTP (MIME) output connector. It enables you to add output from any Process as attachment to an email delivered via the SMTP (MIME) output connector.

Note:

The Attachment connector must run in output mode Process.

To create the attachment you connect the Process to an Attachment connector. In the Attachment connector you specify which driver to use for the attachment (e.g. PDF), and the name and content type of the attachment. All Attachment connectors in a Design Center Project are available from a drop-down list in all SMTP (MIME) connectors in the same Design Center Project.

No physical layer settings

There are no physical layer settings for the Attachment connector. The generic layer settings are the same as for other output connectors with two exceptions:

•	Queueing is not applicable.

•	A section for attachment settings is added.

To create an Attachment connector

1	Right-click the Platform view and select New Output Connector > Attachment. A new Attachment connector is added.

2	Rename the connector and open the Output Connector Settings dialog box (generic layer).

3	Select the appropriate driver.

4	Click the Attachment icon and enter a Name for the attachment.

5	Specify the Attachment content type:

–	Auto – the content type is derived from the driver used by the Attachment connector.

–	Predefined – select the content type from the Predefined content type drop-down list.

–	Custom – enter a custom content type in the Custom content type field.
