Hi @SaptarshiS104323 

The SOAP Web Service action in Automation Anywhere A360 doesn’t natively support file attachments. However, you can work around this limitation by using the REST Web Service action, which supports multipart/form-data for file uploads.

Here are some steps and example scripts for handling file attachments in a SOAP request using PowerShell and VBScript.

PowerShell Script

PowerShell is quite powerful for handling web requests and file operations. Here’s an example of how you can use PowerShell to attach a file to a SOAP request:

# Define the SOAP request with a placeholder for the file content
$soapRequest = @"
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:YourFunction>
         <FileContent>{0}</FileContent>
      </urn:YourFunction>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
"@

# Read the file content and encode it to Base64
$filePath = "C:\path\to\your\file.txt"
$fileContent = tSystem.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes($filePath)
$base64FileContent = tConvert]::ToBase64String($fileContent)

# Insert the Base64 encoded file content into the SOAP request
$soapRequest = $soapRequest -f $base64FileContent

# Define the SOAP endpoint
$soapEndpoint = "https://your.soap.endpoint"

# Send the SOAP request
$response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $soapEndpoint -Method Post -ContentType "text/xml" -Body $soapRequest

# Output the response
$response.Content

VBScript

VBScript can also be used to handle SOAP requests, though it’s a bit more cumbersome. Here’s an example:

' Define the SOAP request with a placeholder for the file content
Dim soapRequest
soapRequest = "<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' xmlns:urn='urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions'>" & _
              "<soapenv:Header/>" & _
              "<soapenv:Body>" & _
              "<urn:YourFunction>" & _
              "<FileContent>{0}</FileContent>" & _
              "</urn:YourFunction>" & _
              "</soapenv:Body>" & _
              "</soapenv:Envelope>"

' Read the file content and encode it to Base64
Dim objFSO, objFile, fileContent, base64FileContent
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\path\to\your\file.txt", 1)
fileContent = objFile.ReadAll
objFile.Close

' Encode to Base64 (requires a custom function or external library)
base64FileContent = EncodeBase64(fileContent)

' Insert the Base64 encoded file content into the SOAP request
soapRequest = Replace(soapRequest, "{0}", base64FileContent)

' Define the SOAP endpoint
Dim soapEndpoint
soapEndpoint = "https://your.soap.endpoint"

' Send the SOAP request
Dim xmlhttp
Set xmlhttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.Open "POST", soapEndpoint, False
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml"
xmlhttp.send soapRequest

' Output the response
WScript.Echo xmlhttp.responseText

Function EncodeBase64(input)
    ' Custom function to encode to Base64
    ' Implementation depends on your environment
End Function

Custom Functions: In VBScript, you might need a custom function or external library to handle Base64 encoding.
