Get Attachment Poll Processor
The Poll Processor contains the logic that will be applied when polling a remote system for data.
The Poll Processor is a configuration record which contains the logic that will be applied when polling a remote system for data. There are three main scripts which are used to setup, execute and process the Poll Requests. The scripts given here are examples of how you might configure your Poll. The details of yours may differ depending on your requirements.
This Get Attachment Poll Processor will take take each record passed to it from its parent - Select Attachments Poll Processor - and then make a Poll Request against that record, retrieving the attachment, building a payload and passing it to Unifi to process.
New Poll Processor
In Unifi Integration Designer, navigate to & open < Your Integration > (created following the Outbound Incident Guide).
Click the 'Poll Processors' icon & then New.
The fields to be configured for the New Poll Processor modal are as follows:
Name
The name of the Processor.
<Your Name>
Run parallel
Allow concurrent Poll Requests to be executed.
<true>*
Your New Poll Processor modal should look like this:

Submit and view to further configure the Poll Processor.
Setup Script
The Setup Script is the first script to run (it runs at the point in time the Poll Request is created). It is used to build the environment for the poll and define what it will do. We will use it to setup the URL that will be called.
Navigate to Scripts > Setup Script.
The initial Poll Processor fields to be configured are as follows:
Setup script
The script to setup the Poll Request record.
Update the code in the Setup script field so that it looks like the code below
The code in the Setup script field should look like this:
// Configure the new Poll Request record
(function (poll_request, poller, params) {
// Params contain an attachment object containing details of the remote attachment
// remote_id : The sys_id of the attachment in the remote system
// Also contains: file_name, content_type, size_bytes
var attach_id = params.attachment.remote_id;
poll_request.endpoint_url += '/attachment/' + attach_id + '/file';
})(poll_request, poller, params);
Your Setup Script form should look like this:

Navigate to Request Script.
Request Script
The Request Script is used to reach into the remote system and execute the request. We will use the ServiceNow RESTMessageV2() web service to make a REST call to the URL defined in the Setup Script.
The next Poll Processor field to be configured is as follows:
Request script
The script that executes the request.
Update the code in the Request script field so that it looks like the code below
The code in the Request script field should look like this:
// Process the request e.g. by executing a web service and returning the response
(function (poll_request, poller, connection, params) {
var request, response;
request = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();
request.setHttpMethod('GET');
request.setEndpoint(poll_request.endpoint_url);
request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type','application/json');
request.setBasicAuth(connection.getBasicAuthUser(), connection.getBasicAuthPassword());
// Save the response as a new attachment (on the poll request)
request.saveResponseBodyAsAttachment(
poll_request.getTableName(), poll_request.sys_id, params.attachment.file_name
);
response = request.execute();
poll_request.response_code = response.getStatusCode();
poll_request.response_status = response.getErrorMessage();
if (response.haveError()) {
throw '\nResponse Code: ' + response.getErrorCode() + '\nResponse error: ' + response.getErrorMessage();
}
// Return the sys_id of the saved attachment
answer = response.getResponseAttachmentSysid() + '';
})(poll_request, poller, connection, params);
Your Request Script form should look like this:

Navigate to Response Script.
Response Script
The Response Script is used to process the information returned from the remote system. We will pass this data to Unifi, telling it which Message to use to process the data.
The last Poll Processor field to be configured is as follows:
Response script
The script that processes the response to the request.
Update the code in the Response script field so that it looks like the code below
The code in the Response script field should look like this:
// Process the response returned by the request script
// The 'answer' variable from the request script is passed in here as the 'response' parameter
(function (poll_request, poller, response, params) {
// Establish the environment
var poll_helper = new x_snd_eb.PollHelper(poll_request);
var info = [
'Incident : ' + params.int_ref,
'- Attachment file name: ' + params.attachment.file_name,
'- Attachment id: ' + response
];
// The response should be the sys_id of the created attachment
params.attachment.data = '<x-attachment-data sys_id="' + response + '" />';
// Build the payload for Unifi
var payload = {
sys_id : params.ext_ref,
correlation_id : params.int_ref,
attachment : params.attachment
};
// Submit the message into Unifi
poll_helper.processInbound({
message_name : 'AddAttachmentInbound',
payload : JSON.stringify(payload)
});
poll_request.response_status = info.join('\n');
})(poll_request, poller, response, params);
Your Response Script form should look like this:

Save the Poll Processor.
Now let's move on and configure the Get Attachment Poller.
