+10Hello All,
I have a customization that programmatically downloads the attachments to a local folder “C:\Temp”. It works fine on my local environment but when I publish it to the cloud it doesn’t download to the expected path. In fact, it shows the process is completed successfully but I guess it uses the server’s local path instead of the user’s local machine. Any idea how I can fix this?

Hi,
I have this example to upload multiple PDF’s to a single .zip download inside Acumatica.
It stores the file(s) in a byte[] array then outputs the file as a file download in Acumatica via PXRedirectToFileException
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var zipArchive = new ZipArchive(ms, ZipArchiveMode.Create, true))
{
var i = 1;
foreach (var file in files)
{
var entry = zipArchive.CreateEntry("file" + i + ".pdf", CompressionLevel.Fastest);
using (var entryStream = entry.Open())
{
entryStream.Write(file, 0, file.Length);
}
i++;
}
ms.Flush();
SMFileInfo info = new SMFileInfo("OutputFile.zip", null, ms.ToArray());
throw new PXRedirectToFileException(info, true);
}
}
+10Here is the partial code related to this issue
// some code
PX.SM.FileInfo sourceFile = uploadGraph.GetFile(fileID);
// Some codes to get the targetFile name which is something like @"C:\\Temp\\ACU\\Test.pdf"
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(targetFile, sourceFile.BinData);
+15Have you seen this?
I believe you will be somewhat restricted in what you can do, since you are downloading a file from a website.
+3Hi
Your code runs on the server, so you save your files on the server’s temp folder.
If you want to save it on the user computer, you have to do it through the browser, using
throw new PXRedirectToFileException(sourceFile, true);and it will save the file to the download folder.
+10Any thoughts how to overcome this?
+10sorry to bug you, Gents. Any help is appreciated.
namespace MyTest
{
public class MyFileInq : PXGraph<MyFileInq>
{
public SelectFrom<UploadFile>.View Files;
public static void DownloadFile(List<UploadFile> downloadList, bool isMassProcess = false)
{
var target = PXGraph.CreateInstance<MyFileInq>();
for (int i = 0; i < downloadList.Count; i++)
{
if (downloadList[i] == null) continue;
UploadFile file = downloadList[i];
try
{
target.Clear();
target.Files.Current = file;
UploadFileMaintenance uploadGraph = PXGraph.CreateInstance<UploadFileMaintenance>();
Guid fileID = (Guid)file.FileID;
PX.SM.FileInfo sourceFile = uploadGraph.GetFile(fileID);
if (sourceFile.BinData != null)
{
//File.WriteAllBytes("C:\\TEMP\\test.pdf", sourceFile.BinData);
//PXTrace.WriteInformation(targetFile);
//throw new PXRedirectToFileException(new PX.SM.FileInfo("test.pdf", null, sourceFile.BinData), true);
throw new PXRedirectToFileException(sourceFile, true);
}
if (isMassProcess == true)
{
PXProcessing<UploadFile>.SetInfo(i, string.Format("{0}", file.Name));
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
PXProcessing<UploadFile>.SetError(i, e);
}
finally
{
}
}
}
}
}
+3It has nothing to do with code then, but with permissions. In that case, you need to open support case through the customer, and discuss permissions, which your service may have. As additional option, you can consider upload into database.

Am I missing something?
+7it’s pretty standard Acumatica functionality to break out of a process when an exception of any kind is thrown. I remember trying to download multiple reports at a time and running into a similar situation. In that case, I used a method which combined several report exceptions into one which was thrown at the end
That should be the way to do it.
I recommend packing it all in zip in code and download all at once as a zip in the end.
+10Thank you
The reason I initially developed the code using WriteAllBytes() method (commented code above) was to avoid throwing exceptions. Then I thought maybe forceDownlload = true parameter of the FileException from
Doe’s anyone have a working sample code to help me how to zip all attachments in a zip file then download please?
Considering the attachments could be all types of files, merging to pdf will scope out some of the attachments if I am to combine the attachments into one pdf but if it come to it, again does anyone have a working sample to share please?
Any help is appreciated.
+15+10ZipArchive zipArchive = ZipArchive.CreateFrom(zipStream, false);
+3You need to reference System.IO.Compression in your csproj file.
+10hi
+3Try to use this:
ZipArchive zipArchive = new ZipArchive(zipStream);
