Since release 10.2, this functionality is obsolete and is supported for backward compatibility only. We recommend that you use QAComplete REST API to access and manage data in QAComplete.

Use this operation to download attachments from QAComplete.

The operation returns the attachment contents as a Base64 string or a byte array. You can write this data to a file and use this file later.

Requirements

The authenticating user must belong to a security group that has the Read privilege for the type of the item (Defects, Releases, and so on) that contains the attachment.

Parameters

The operation uses the following parameters:

AuthenticationData : AuthenticationData, required

An AuthenticationData object containing the login information and the project ID that contains the attachment.

AttachmentId : integer, required

The attachment ID. You can see this ID on the attachment edit form in QAComplete or you can get it from the Attachments_GetAttachmentsList operation.

Result

Raw SOAP responses contain a Base64 string that represents the file contents.

If you use wrapper classes, you get the file contents as a byte array.

Example
