Create File Method

The CreateFile method places a copy of an external file into the Siebel File System. It updates the relevant fields in the business component so that Siebel CRM can attach it to the current record. You can configure Siebel CRM to call this method from any item described in Calling a Method except from a browser script.

The following table describes the arguments that you can use with the CreateFile method.

Argument	Description
srcFilePath	Specifies the path to the source file.
keyFieldName	Specifies the name of the PrefixFileName field that contains the name of the file in the Siebel File System. For example, the AcctsFileName field contains the name of the file for the Account Attachment business component.
keepLink	If Y, then Siebel CRM stores the link to the external file.
altSrcFileName	Optional. If the file name that Siebel CRM creates in the Siebel File System is different from the name of the source file that it uses to copy the file, then it uses the value that the altSrcFileName argument contains as an alternative name for the source file name.
