Attachments properties
The app-feature.properties file contains the property that enables attachments. The download and upload of attachments, the maximum size, and the location of attachments are controlled by properties in the worklight.properties file. You can also enable attachments by using the Anywhere Administration application if it is enabled.
To enable attachments, edit the app-feature.properties file in the Anywhere\MaximoAnywhere\apps\app_name folder to set the attachments.enabled property to true. Attachments are enabled by default for apps that support attachments.
To change the value of an attachment property, edit the worklight.properties file in the maximoanywhere_home\Anywhere\MaximoAnywhere\server\conf directory.
