Mapping Attachment Fields
In addition to mapping regular fields between the two endpoints, you can
also map attachment fields between the endpoints. When you synchronize
an attachment field, both the attachment and its description are
synchronized.
Consider the following guidelines when mapping attachment fields:
➤
You can create only one mapping between attachment fields per link.
➤
The Synchronizer identifies attachments by their file name, and not by their
content. Therefore:
➤
If you change the file name of an attachment, even if you do not change
its content, the Synchronizer determines that the original attachment
has been deleted and a new attachment added, and synchronizes the
attachment fields accordingly.
➤
If you have different attachments in each of the endpoints, but they have
the same file name, the Synchronizer is not able to distinguish between
them and considers them as the same attachment.
