Attachment Viewing

Attachment Viewing

After you archive the attachments, you can view the attachments in the Data Discovery portal or with a third-party reporting tool. The ILM repository link table, ZINFA_ATTCH_LINK, includes information on the downloaded attachments. The table includes information to link business objects to the corresponding attachments. The link table is included in the pre-packaged SAP entities for business objects that have attachments.
To view attachments in the Data Discovery portal, you must configure entities for discovery. For any business object that may have attachments, you must add the attachment tables to the corresponding entity. If you store the attachments in a file system, add the ZINFA_ATTCH_LINK table to the entities. If you store the attachments in the Data Vault, add the ZINFA_ATTCH_LINK and AM_ATTACHMENTS tables to the entities.
To view attachments from the Data Discovery portal, you must create a stylesheet. In the stylesheet, build a hyperlink to the attachment location. Use the ZINFA_ATTCH_LINK table to build the path and file name. When users perform searches, business object attachments appear as hyperlinks. When users click a hyperlink, the default browser opens the attachment. The attachments are compressed in gzip format. The client from which the user runs the Data Discovery portal searches must have a program that can open gzip files, such as 7zip.
