There is a method CopyFileToWS where one can specify a model to which a file will be copied as attachement (secondary content). What is a correct way to execute opposite action - to download a secondary content from a model? I can't see any notice in documentation / examples. The method CopyFileFromWS takes a file path, but what is a correct path format to a secondary content file? Or is there another function to achieve this? Thanks in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yes, it is mean that you mast write DLL with your own custom function witch will call ProFileCopyFromWSDocument() function using C TOOLKIT and then you can call your custom function from J-Link.
Not 100% true method, but...
Take a look at "Aliased URL" chapter in the documentation.
Using that set of functions try to construct right path to secondary content file
like this wtws://my_server/my_workspace/intf_file.igs
Some version of Creo required version information additional to extension
test.xml|0.0
or
text.xml|V0.0 (for Creo 2)
where 0.0 - is a PTC_WM_VERSION
Thank you for your answer. The aliased URLs are not working for a secondary content files. I've tried it with several path formats, even with version, but no success - I've always got com.ptc.pfc.Implementation.pfcExceptions$XToolkitInvalidFile.
From Pro/Toolkit
The function ProFileCopyFromWSDocument() copies a primary or secondary file from the workspace to the specified location on disk.
So, in Jlink it maybe not possible. I'm not found equivalent in Java.
Yes, it seems not possible achieve this using direct JLink functions. Hovewer there is a function LoadProToolkitDll in chapter 'Launching a PTC Creo Parametric TOOLKIT DLL' of jlink manual. It looks like option to call Pro/Toolkit dlls from jlink. I'm not very familiar with Pro/Toolkit - is there a .dll with ProFileCopyFromWSDocument() function located somewhere in creo installation folders? Or it means I need to write a custom application with the function call?

Thank you! It's not tested solution as I have no C toolkit installed, but sounds like a right way.
