Error description

• Problem Description:
  After applying IFIX 19 for TPAE 7612, a new issue was
  introduced. Attachments created by MIF where the file already
  exists in the DOCLINKS folder are having the URL/filename value
  updated with a value that does not match the filename.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1) Manually create a test.jpg file in the path
  \DOCLINKS\ATTACHMENTS\test.jpg.
  
  2)Create Work Order with wonum TEST01
  
  3)Duplicate MXWO Object Structure and add DOCLINKS table. Set
  the name mxwoatt.
  
  4)Post the REST below:
  
  URL: http://SERVER/maximo/oslc/os/mxwoatt?lean=1&_lid=maxadmin&
  _lpwd=maxadmin
  
  BODY:
  {
  "_action":"AddChange",
  "wonum":"TEST01",
  "siteid": "BEDFORD",
  "doclinks": [
  {
  "addinfo": "1",
  "doctype":"Attachments",
  "document":"test.jpg",
  "upload":"0",
  "urlname":"C:\\DOCLINKS\\ATTACHMENTS\\test.jpg",
  "urltype":"FILE",
  "ownertable":"WORKORDER"
  }
  ]
  }
  
  RESULTS:
  DOCLINKS record will be created but the URL will be changed to:
  http://SERVER/ATTACHMENTS/test1651076107943.jpg (example)
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
