How to save excel file (content type - octet stream) in a specific folder
I have a requirement to save reports which we receive from a service into a folder.
The report data which we receive is of content type octet stream. We use sendFile to download it from our portal , but i need to move this report to a specific folder using an activity.
The activity contains the service call to fetch the report . Need to add a step to save this report to a folder. Any suggestions please on how to achieve this .

Hi @NajiyaS7, Use connect-file.
Refer : https://docs-previous.pega.com/reference/87/connect-file-method
Note: Connect-File is deprecated in 8.7. You have alternates for 8.7.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Hi @ArulDevan
Thanks for responding.
The report data which i am getting from the service seems to be of Content type "Octet-Stream" to be viewed in excel. So i am not able to understand how to use this in Connect-File.
Please refer to the attachment which shows how it is displaying if i just set the property which holds the data and use it in connect file method.
Do you know if i need to convert it into some format before calling connect-file

Hi @NajiyaS7, Based on my understanding, I don't see any limitation with the content type. Can you try to check the same with a normal file?
Thanks
