ARIS Connect: how to make an attached file available on a report

is it possible to get the attached file on a final report when running a report?

Yes, it is possible to inline the content other documents in the report result. HOWEVER:

• It requires in depth Javascript and ARIS Script knowledge
• it's requires a little bit of tinkering
• I have no idea at which point to insert the code snippet I can give you into the "Generate job description" report, simply because that's not a report with whose structure I'm familiar
• It only works with the original output format being doc, docx, rtf, odt, pdf and plain text AND the document you want to inline being rtf, doc/dot or docx
• The file to inline has to be at some place the ARIS server (where reports are executed) can reach, like a public working directory for example. Storing the file at some place that requires special access permissions, permissions which the server usually does not have, will produce errors

Here is what I've put together, really just quickly coded this, no trying things and catching exceptions (report context: can only be executed with objects > functions. Should work with other objects that have the link attribute too though):

var nLocale = Context.getSelectedLanguage(); //need that to read the attribute value of the link attribute
var selObjDefs = ArisData.getSelectedObjDefs(); //just to get what we work with
var p_output = Context.createOutputObject(); //create a new output object
p_output.DefineF("Standard", "Arial", 11, Constants.C_BLACK, Constants.C_TRANSPARENT, Constants.FMT_LEFT, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0); //Define a standard output format

main(); //no need to clutter the global name space

p_output.WriteReport(); //write the report at the end of the script

function main(){ //the main method
    p_output.OutputLnF("Beginn inline", "Standard"); //Write a line to show that we are still in the original output object
    p_output.OutputLnF("", "Standard"); //and an empty line
    for each (var oneObjDef in selObjDefs){ //for each object

        var documentPath = oneObjDef.Attribute(Constants.AT_DOCUMENT_LINK_1, nLocale).getValue(); //obtain the file path that was written into the Document Link 1 attribute
        
        var byteArray = java.nio.file.Files.readAllBytes(java.nio.file.Paths.get(documentPath)); //Create a byte array with the file from path just obtained
        
        var docVal = Context.getOutputObject("tmp.docx",byteArray); //create a second output object, with the byte array as the content
        docVal.SetDistFooter(p_output.GetDistFooter()) //Set up the new output object to be just like the original one
        docVal.SetDistHeader(p_output.GetDistHeader()) //""
        docVal.SetBottomMargin(p_output.GetBottomMargin()) //""
        docVal.SetTopMargin(p_output.GetTopMargin()) //""
        docVal.SetLeftMargin(p_output.GetLeftMargin()) //""
        docVal.SetRightMargin(p_output.GetRightMargin()) //""
        
        p_output.InsertDocument(docVal,true,true,Constants.INSERT_DOC_REMOVE_TOC_AND_PAGEBREAK); //inline the second output object into the first one
        docVal = null; //remove any trace of the second output object with the next garbage collection
        
    }
    
    p_output.OutputLnF("End inline", "Standard"); //Just to show that we are back in the main output object
}
