Rest Response attachment stream for large files of size 500 MB gives java heap space error, can we choose the location to write file instead of stream to a property in response, similar to OOTB CMIS GetContentStream
CMIS request to get the document from the content management system, let us take an example of Alfresco.
If we use OOTB CMIS GetContentStream we get the stream response back to Pega Server from Alfresco server and this is created as a file in Pega Server location.

Example response of OOTB CMIS GetContentStream
pyStream file://default:/CMIS_Documents/PW-01-CCEP_100797_Construction_03092018_132943637099.zip
pyLength 422871301
pyFilename PW-01-CCEP_100797_Construction_03092018_132943.zip
pyFileName PW-01-CCEP_100797_Construction_03092018_132943.zip
pyMimeType application/octet-stream
However when I use alfresco REST API i.e. getNodeContent
If you paste the above URL to the browser it is downloaded as an attachment.
However, when you create REST Connector in Pega, we get base64 encoded string as response and when we try to get large files of size example 500MB the request fails with java heap errors.
I want to write code such that file is downloaded to a location rather than getting base64 encoded string in response.
I think pega OOTB CMIS connector rule might have written some code to get the stream as download file to a location.
OOTB CMIS getcontentStream is able to download the file of size 500 MB without any issues.
Any ideas to achieve the same for REST Connector.
I know we can set the request header as ContentDisposition: attachment
However, I want to know how we can choose the location.

Hi,
Could you please let me know is there any reason for not using base64 encoded string.If you would not use encoded value then If your file contains special character or non english character then it will get corrupted or It can cause exceptions while downloading.Therefore we always use encoded value in content stream.
You are able to download it using alfresco ,We can use two types of server while configuring CMIS rule from prpc.
1.Atom
2.SOAP
You can try using SOAP server If it fulfills your requirement.
Thanks,
Abhinav
