Service...achment(3)

👑 Attachment module 👑

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're talking about Service-now Perl API — specifically the Attachment perl module. yes, that's the manual name, Service...achment(3), and yes the vibes are immaculate. this is the whole thing, no skips. 💅

✨ Desciption ✨

(it's spelled like that in the original bestie, we don't gatekeep typos 💀)

It's an object representation of an Attachment in the Service-now platform. Basically it hands you the subroutines for creating an attachment and attaching it to an existing record. that's the whole gig. no cap. 🎀

🦋 System Requirements 🦋

The Service-now Perl API needs Perl 5.8 and the following modules installed, fr fr:

• SOAP::Lite (prerequisites http://soaplite.com/prereqs.html) 0.71 or later
• Crypt::SSLeay
• IO::Socket::SSL
• File::Basename
• MIME::Types
• MIME::Type
• MIME::Base64

not me listing all seven like a good student because we do NOT summarise. 📚✨

🌸 Constructor 🌸

💖 new 💖

new(Configuration);

Example, bestie:

$task = ServiceNow::Attachment->new($CONFIG);

It takes a configuration object and manufactures an Task object connected to the Service-now instance. main character energy tbh. 👑

---

🌈 Subroutines 🌈

🍓 create 🍓

create(path, table_name, sys_id)

Example, iykyk:

$attachment->create("/Users/davidloo/Desktop/test_files/number_test.xls", "incident", "9d385017c611228701d22104cc95c371");

So what it does: it creates an attachment from a file on the local disk, and attaches it to an existing record defined by table_name and sys_id. Returns the sys_id of the ecc_queue record — and undef if failed, so like, check that return value bestie, don't just vibe and hope. 🫶
