Hi,

Check out the following link.  And the code in this works over the selected documents from which you would like to detach the files to a folder.
You will have to change name of the folder in this code.

Good Luck !

Hi Arun,

Novice here - but where exactly can I add this script - to  aview/folder??

Thanks,

Serena

 

by: ArunkumarPosted on 2000-06-15 at 09:50:41ID: 2955759

Write this code in an agent and run this agent from the actions menu.

You have to select the documents before running this agent !

Good Luck !

Thanks

Did you verify the folder name in the drive ?
Did you select the documents in the view ?

This detaches all the attachments.

Hi,

I am sorry,

you have to change the three lines in the code.

1. Set view = db.getview("Testing")  -- To include the view name on which the agent will be running  (change the "Testing") to include your view name.

2.Call obj.ExtractFile( "F:\AAA\" & filename1 & "(" & rndno &")" & "." & filenameextn )

3.Call obj.ExtractFile( "F:\AAA\" & obj.source & "(" & rndno &")")

The "F:\AAA\" to the path wherever you want to detach the files.

Good Luck !
-Arun

NOTE: The file names will have a random number padded to them in braces to overcome multiple files of the same name. for example if you have two attachments in two documents with file name a.txt then one will contain a(xxxx).txt and the other a(yyyy).txt

Do I have the correct Java code - I can't add code to set view??


import lotus.domino.*;
import java.util.*;

public class JavaAgent extends AgentBase {

public void NotesMain() {

try {
Session session = getSession();
AgentContext agentContext = session.getAgentContext();
//Database db = agentContext.getCurrentDatabase();
       DocumentCollection dc = agentContext.getUnprocessedDocuments();
       Document doc = dc.getFirstDocument();
       while (doc != null) {
       Vector attach = new Vector();
       attach = doc.getEmbeddedObjects();
int size = attach.size();
for (int i = 0; i < size; i ++){
EmbeddedObject embed = (EmbeddedObject)(attach.elementAt(i));
embed.extractFile("h:\\jdgray\\ar");
}
doc = dc.getNextDocument();
}
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}


Thanks again Arun!
