Page History

...

To generate a file the document or page which is modeled in studio has to be specified. The service will return the file id and put it in the attribute specified in 'FileId'. Also the type and the file name must be specified. Currently only PDF documents can be generated. To be able to store the generated file somewhere, the connection has to be stated. With the parameter 'Persistence' a modeler can specify whether the file should be generated and stored permanently or temporary. For the latter case the file will be removed from the connection when the session/request is expired. By setting the 'CreateInstance' and 'Relation' it is possible to state whether an instance should be created automatically and whether it has to be added to a relation. The last parameter (UpdateFileId) could be useful in case of overwriting an existing file, for example if you only want to have only one kind of file.

Requirements
