Appendix C: Including Images within the Transaction Assembly Process  

Steps:

  1. Create a word file or if you already have an .xml transaction (Word document saved as .xml using Microsoft Office Word 2003 or later) then you can use that .xml transaction.

  2. If you have a picture, you must first insert it as a link to the transaction (using the Microsoft Word options "Insert-->Picture-->From File-->Link to File"). Do not insert objects directly into your transaction.

  1. Save this word file as <transaction_name>.xml or if it is already .xml just save it.

  1. Upload the .xml file as an attachment to the T&C or Supporting Transactions component with an attachment Type of Transaction XML.

  2. The picture file (.jpg or .gif file) should be uploaded as a separate attachment with an attachment type of Image.

The image attachment and the .xml file (with the link) should be on the same transaction component (that is, T&C or Supporting Transactions).

  1. Now Run the Assemble Transaction job (on Header).

  1. Successful execution of the job will generate a PDF transaction on Header.

  1. For attaching multiple images, you must insert images as link to .xml as described earlier. Multiple images can be uploaded in two ways:

  1. You can upload the image one by one as the normal procedure

  2. Zip the images in <any filename>.zip and upload this zip file to the component (T&C or Supporting Transaction) with file type “Image(s) zipped”.
