Transferring Attachments

Transferring Attachments

Notes® stores attachment data separately from rich text field data. Currently you can only transfer attachments from Notes® to Notes®; rich text fields with attachments do not store correctly in the target RDBMS such as DB2® and Oracle.

To work around this constraint, you can use the Extract File Attachments option in the Connector for Notes® to save attachments to files on disk. You can then use LotusScript® to read the files, store their contents in LCFields, and save the LCFields to binary fields in a RDBMS. This level of scripting requires LotusScript® expertise.
