I know this is an old thread but for anyone in the future looking for how to add File Items via AML, here is how I was able to get it to work in Aras v12SP18:

    <Item type='File' action='add' id='New32GUID'>
      <actual_filename>C:\Path\to\MyFile\filename.pdf</actual_filename>
      <checkedout_path>C:\Path\to\MyFile</checkedout_path>
      <filename>filename.pdf</filename>
      <Relationships>
        <Item type='Located' action='add'>
          <related_id>32GUIDofVaultItemType</related_id>
        </Item>
      </Relationships>
    </Item>

The key for me to get past the "File Item cannot be added" error was to ensure the "id" attribute in the beginning had a new unique 32 character GUID.

Hello Angela,

Unfortunately for now I have switched to API as it was possible in my context. AML used to work previously but for some reason not any more.

Hi Jayrajvh,

were you able to find a solution for this one? I right now also tried to upload files with pure AML. I remember that it worked in the past without problems.

Same issue I have. I think there is some change in ARAS behaviour of file handling. I have ARAS 12 and simple file upload with Document or without document is failing when I try AML way. Same thing works fine using API.

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of this approach using the IOM. But, I wanna do both in AML in one query.

Thank You

Hi,

First you have to create file in Aras and then attach that to Document using File Id.

Create file :
Item file = inn.newItem("File", "add");
file.attachPhysicalFile("C:\\Backup\\1\\1.txt");
file.setProperty("filename", "1.txt");
file = file.apply();

string fileId = file.getID();

Then add file to relationship of Document :

<AML>
<Item type="Document" action="add">
<item_number>TEST</item_number>
<name>Hi</name>
<Relationships>
<Item type="Document File" action="add">
<related_id>fileId</related_id>
</Item>
</Relationships>
</Item>
</AML>

Thanks
