An
Attachment object represents a single attached file that is physically
stored in the user database.
An Attachment object:
- Stores information about that file (description,
unique key, path name, and size) in the Attachment object's properties.
- Provides a means to manipulate the file.
Note: The Rational® ClearQuest® API does not permit you to
alter that data inside an attached file, but it does permit you to
alter the descriptive information.
In order to:
- Attach files to a database, use the Add method
of the Attachments Object.
(You never create instances of Attachment directly.)
- Retrieve an Attachment object, use the Item method
of the Attachments object.
- Delete an Attachment object, use the Delete method
of the Attachments Object.
- Copy an existing attachment to a new file, use
the Load method.
