Attatching PDF File in background step

[akshay.bhagwat@wipro.com]

Hi Rick,
 
There is a blog on SDN ( Right now I do not have direct link, if I get
it, I'll mention the same) .. Pls check if that helps to you.
For background tasks I believe you will have to try the OPEN DATASET
technique and use application server instead of Front end.
 
Regards 

Akshay Bhagwat

Subject: Attatching PDF File in background step


I have a need to get a Trip PDF and attach it to a Task in a background
step. 
I get the PDF just fine. I attach to a task in FORE GROUND just fine and
dandy. 
 
Now, where I am stumped. How to attach in a background step. 
I obviously can not use GUI controls to achieve this, so anyone have an
idea or three, or an example to reference? 
 
Thanks much!
