Hello!

Does anyone have experience writing custom code to download a file from DocStar using Ice.XFileRef’s XFileRefNum value?

I am working on an external app that will allow users to download files based on a custom search.

I found the below articles, but they are from awhile ago, and I am not sure how to translate the code into a function library, espcially since the WCFServiceSupport was deprecated (from my understanding).

Any guidance would be greatly apprecaited, thank you!

I would look at this thread for a start.

Thank you, Greg! I ended up using the Epicor REST API’s Ice.BO.AttachmentSvc/DocStarDownloadFile as well and it worked perfectly!

Hello, Rob -

I’m having a ‘time’ trying to get the REST-kinetic call to work - I’m passing both parameters (xFileRefNum and metadata), but trace shows only xFileRefnum is being passed. I’m on 2025.2.4 using app studio. Could this be a data view issue?

Thanks for any 2 cents you can pass along, and thanks.
