Tested with different extensions. Added the extensions to attachments.allowed-content-types and restarted but same problem.

Environment

Release : 17.3 or higher

Component : SDM - Service Point

Cause

The application is looking for doc_rep:1002 (default ID for ServiceDesk repository) but it does not exist in the environment. 

Resolution

1. Confirm what is the persid for the repository being used. You can check this from db level by running: select * from doc_rep;

2. Once you have the persid (format: doc_rep:XXXXX): Go to xFlow\APPS\Services\incidentmicroservice-17.0.479\public\conf\casm.conf.do-not-change.js > search for repository > Delete the default value (doc_rep:1002) and set the right persid > Save changes > Restart xFlow > Delete cache from browser.
