Issue/Introduction
A new attribute <fileData> is displayed when you create a "createAttachment" or "createAttmnt" request. What is it for?
Environment
CA Service Desk Manager 17.3 RU18 and later and 17.4.x
Cause
The attribute "fileData" is required to send an attachment because CXF Web Services uses MTOM standard to transfer binary data whereas AXIS Web Services used DIME standard.
With MTOM, it is essential to send the binary data as a handler. CXF does not support the use of DIME, which is itself a deprecated element.
Resolution
From the SOAP UI tool, whenever we open a createAttachment request, the fileData is automatically generated with cid:XXXXX. This XXXXX needs to be specified as "Part" under the Attachment area of SOAP UI.
An example of this is shown below:
