DOM Attachment – History and size

Solved75 views22nd July 2025dom instances domhelper DOMHistory

Felix Wesemeier [DevOps Catalyst]2.14K 21st July 2025 0 Comments

Hi Dojo Community,

I added attachments to my DOM Instances and would like to see more information about the files (without downloading them)

  • Sizes of the files
  • Who added a file
  • and when

The sample GQIDS for DOM history does not even recognize a file has been added.

Is it possible to get these infos somewhere?

Hi Felix,

I'm afraid this won't be possible without actually reading the files from the filesystem, the only things the AttachmentsHelper provide is a method to get all filenames from the attachments from a DOM Instance, and a method to get the file contents as a byte array.

The best approach would probably be to read out the files yourself from the documents folder to get that info.
Note that we are working on a feature that allows you to save DOM attachments to a network share instead of the Documents folder. If that would be configured, the process that runs the data source would need access to that network share.

An alternative, but this is probably also not very ideal, could be to create a DOM definition to manage data about your attachments. You could create a script to create a DOM Instance for every attachment uploaded, containing the info about it you need.

Let me know if I can be of further help!

Hi Wouter,
thanks for the hint with the documents/DOMINSTANCE_ATTACHMENTS folder.
I was able to get the size and the creation date via FileInfo.
Cheers,
Felix
