DocStar - Download File via Kinetic Functions Library

[rfleischmann (Rob Fleischmann)]

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.

DocStarDownloadFile via REST SSO

@daveleland, sorry had to dig around, but I found it. Take my notes from the snippet before about ‘epicorUrl’ and ‘authentication’. function downloadAttachment() { console.log("contentObject2: ", contentObject2); let epicorUrl = ''; let authentication = ''; let url = '/v1/Ice.BO.AttachmentSvc/DocStarDownloadFile'; var val = contentObject2.value[0]; var refNum = val.XFileRefNum; var xRefNum = parseInt(refNum); //const response2 = JSON.parse(contentObject2); …

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