Attachment Object
An Attachment object represents a single attached file that is physically stored in the user database.
An Attachment object:
- Stores information about that file (description, unique key, path name, and size) in the Attachment object's properties.
- Provides a means to manipulate the file.
Note: The Rational®
ClearQuest® API
does not permit you to alter that data inside an attached file, but
it does permit you to alter the descriptive information.
In order to:
- Attach files to a database, use the Add method of the Attachments Object. (You never create instances of Attachment directly.)
- Retrieve an Attachment object, use the Item method of the Attachments object.
- Delete an Attachment object, use the Delete method of the Attachments Object.
- Copy an existing attachment to a new file, use the Load method.
