Cause

Resolution

  • In SAP Service Cloud Version 2, each microservice is designed with specific functionalities.
  • The Installed Base Service API does not support uploading or managing documents and attachments.
  • To handle attachments, follow these steps:
    1. Upload Attachments Using Document Service
      • Use the Document Service API to upload attachments, as it is specifically built for document management.
    2. Reference Attachments in IBase Service
      1. Once the document is uploaded, use the IBase Service API to update or modify the necessary records.
      2. Include a reference to the uploaded document by using its unique ID or link within the record update.
  • This approach ensures proper management of attachments while maintaining clear separation between microservice functionalities.
