Hi everyone,

I was wondering how to get old atttachments from old process stored at the BOS database (Oracle, in my case) and just realized that I can't do that. I mean, I have no idea where the documents are being stored right now.

I tried to look at the Trello Application tutorial part I and II that Antoine asked to do but I still don't have a clue.

It was possible in older versions of Bonita? I'm using 6.1.1 at this moment.

Thanks for any help.

Hi all,

In Bonitav6 you will not find Attachment as a data type as in v5.

In this version you have one new item in the menu of the pool which is Documents

Hi all,

It seems it is not clear enough. Here you will find an full explanation on BonitaSoft Documentation page
http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/handling-documents

As summary, in BonitaBPM v6.x there is no more attachments type like in v5. Now it is named documents and they have their own menu entry as you can see in this screenshoot
Document menu entry

And at the end of this blog post you will see how to manage the Java Object in which BonitaBPM manage attachments

Also how can we take document as input and use it in differrent hierachy.

eg. suppose there is perticular bill to be approved.

documents is to be submited by requester → level1 approver should be able to see the file contents → level 2 approver should also see the file contents.
