Upload Binary File Content

You use the file system source system and the corresponding agent instance to be able to send binary file content to a destination system in a notification process. You use, for example, the universal Web service destination system as the destination system. You can then use the universal Web service destination system to upload the file content (see also: Uploading a File (MIME Format Binary)).

To do this, you must proceed as follows:

1. Create a file system source system and select the data type Binary. (See: Settings Tab.)

2. Create the corresponding agent instance.

3. Choose the browse function on the Subscription Items tab. Select the BinaryFileContent tag and, if necessary, other tags, and subscribe to them.

   The advantage of the BinaryFileContent tag is that the file contents are available as a byte array during processing and can be sent to the destination system without any further transformation.

4. Create a universal Web service destination system and maintain the settings for uploading files in binary format.
