How is a given attachment stored and related to its asset.

Release : 17.1 and higher

Component : CA Asset Portfolio Management

Table names are highlighted in bold and will require access to the backend database server:

The physical files for a given attachment are stored in this location on your ITAM Application Server:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\ITAM\Storage\Common Store\Attachment

--------------------------------------------------

The SQL Table that lists all attachments: al_file_storage

You will need to do a query such as:
SELECT file_id FROM al_file_storage where name = 'FILENAME' OR attachment_url= 'FILENAME'

This is because a given file attachment is stored across two separate records. One record is the physical file itself and the second record is the URL link to that file.

--------------------------------------------------

SQL Table that links attachments to an asset: arg_link_asset_attachment

You will need to match the file_id entry in the arg_link_asset_attachment table to the file_id entry in table al_file_storage, cross referencing the own_resource_uuid to the Asset table ca_owned_resource.
