Generate MS Word Doc and Attach To Case
I am successfully able to generate and download the word document by generating it with the function com.pegarules.generated.pega_appdefinition_documentapp.pzGenerateDocument
Additionally I have a requirement to attach the word document to a Pega case. The url string returned by the function com.pegarules.generated.pega_appdefinition_documentapp.pzGenerateDocument contains * for which Pega Engine APIs to instantiate a PRFIle type object is throwing runtime exceptions.
Also tried with the standard java function new java.net.URL() but unable to create (object null) any URL object from the url string.
If someone has implemented this sort of a requirement kindly suggest

Hi,
I am successfully generated the document with dynamically passed data from work object also document attached to work object. Here are the steps below.
1. Call the pega_appdefinition_documentapp.pzGenerateDocument pass the template name and class name
2. Above function returns the url of the file generated in server temp folder path, write java logic to read file stream using file url
Get the filename from the returned i.e pega_rules_string.whatComesAfterLast(url, '/');
open file using pega.getStaticContentUtils().getServiceExportRoot(); + filename and read the stream.
3. Use the filestream as your pyAttachStream for your attachment page and set other properties for attachment page. Similar to adding a new attachment.

Dear All,
Thank you for your responses.
I have been able to fetch the full service export path of the generated url.
String docFilePath = tools.findPage("pxProcess").getString("pxServiceExportPath") + pega_rules_string.whatComesAfterLast(url, '/');
where url is the string returned by the earlier function com.pegarules.generated.pega_appdefinition_documentapp.pzGenerateDocument
Next step is to create a new PRInputStream(docFilePath)
Please make sure to regenerate the document everytime before fetching the path otherwise it will not work in multi-node environments.
Regards,
Arindam

Hi Guys,
I was able to generate the word template but the template doesn't get the property or corr values.
I used the following syntax in my document
{pega:insert corr=TestTemplate }
{pega:reference .pyLabel }
This doesn't work. Can anyone please tell me if I am doing something wrong here?
