Downloading attachments

You can download a file attached to a model element and save it locally.

If an element in the Publisher Navigator orProcess Viewer views has the attachment icon , the element has one or more attached files. These attached files were attached to the element in WebSphere® Business Modeler when the element was last published. For example, if the Customer Order Handling process in the ABC Project has an attached file, then the Customer Order Handling process has an attachment icon preceding its name in the Publisher Navigator view. Because Customer Order Handling is in a catalog, the catalog also contains the attachment icon. The attachment icon propagates upward in the tree to the ABC Project node, which also has the attachment icon.
