I have a requirement, where a file is stored in a repository should be attached to a notification sent, i am able to see the pyContents of the file using D_pxGetFile API but how do i add it as an attachment.
Thanks in advance...:)

Upload file using drag & drop functionality with pzSaveToRepository activity.
1. the stream of the file is stored in "pyAttachStream" property of pyNewFileAttachment page.
The content of "pyAttachStream" property is stored in "pyContents" property of D_pxNewFile data page In this scenario "pyIsStreamBasedUpload" property will be False.
2. the file content is maintained in "pyAttachInputStream" property of pyNewFileAttachment page.
The content of "pyAttachStream" property is stored in "pyStream" property of D_pxNewFile data page.
In this scenario "pyIsStreamBasedUpload" property will be True.
Please note:
1.We will use "pyIsStreamBasedUpload" property to decide on which property file stream to be stored in D_pxNewFile Data Page.
2. File stream on pyNewFileAttachment page properties will be set on activities prior to pzSaveToRepository activity.
D_pxGetFile data page is used and File Stream will be present in the "pyStream" property of that data page .
Data is not maintained on "pyNewFileAttachment " during Download. GetAttachmentReference activity is used for downloading attachments
Let me know if you have any further queries.

But in my scenario, the file has come through File listener and no workobject available as it is BIX. The file is in a repository and i dont have the InsKey of the file. GetAttachmentReferrence activity asks for InsKey right. How do i use it?

Hi Ramya,
Can you refer to the "To send an email message with any set of attachments" in - https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v72/howto/howto2/howtosendemailwithattachments.htm ? I believe that addresses your requirement.
