Saving all folder attachments from a Metastorm database

A question came up on the Metastorm BPM forums about saving all folder attachments from a Metastorm database. Folder data is saved in a particularly strange format so this wouldn’t be very straightforward but with the FreeFlow .NET library things are much simpler. I thought I’d post it here just to show how easy it is. In fact I may start posting some more simple FreeFlow examples here, rather than posting them as downloads on the FreeFlow site, because it’s much easier than fiddling with ASP.NET pages.

It’s a console application that should work with .NET 2 upwards.

using System;

using FreeFlow.Administration;

namespace GetAllAttachments
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      Server server = new Server();
      server.Connect("sa", "a", "Metastorm75");
      foreach (Map map in server.Maps)
      {
        foreach (Folder folder in map.Folders)
        {
          foreach (Attachment attachment in folder.Attachments)
          {
            string fileName = "C:\\temp\\" + folder.FolderId + attachment.FileName;
            Console.WriteLine("Processing " + fileName);
            attachment.SaveToFile(fileName);
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
