Download File from External Repository using REST API and attach to PEGA Case.
Hi,
We are in PEGA 8.5.1. Our requirement is to download a file from external repository and attach it to the PEGA case using REST API GET method.
Is there a way we can implement this using OOTB Rules?
What is the Content-Type or other similar option we can use in GET method to download the file?
Please let us know if any reference available for this.
Thanks

@JanardhanK0965 did you do a Google search and find the available Pega documentation?

@JanardhanK0965 The simplest way is to get the stream using OOTB data page D_pxGetFile from repository and then create an attachment page, save it and link it to work object.

@Anoop KrishnaThis is a great approach, but how do you get the stream using D_pxGetFile? When you run the data page it will just download the file, but tracing doesn't show the stream of the file so that I can add it to the attachment page.

@SamuelE2 If you are using java step to set attachinputstream within D_pxGetFile step page to set to ClipboardPage pyNewFileAttachmentPage.pyAttachInputStream you will see stream on this page. D_pxGetFile will have stream in the background.
