***	OneDealer - B1 Attachments Documentation	***
===================================================
	
When a new OneDealer publish is made, id order for the attachment functionality to work,
some steps must be made first. More info on how B1 attachments work can be found at the
following link: https://one-business-software.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/B1H_SrvcLayer_91.pdf
	
STEPS
-----
	
1.	On windows machine, where B1 is installed, create a network shared folder with read/write permissions.
	Then, configure it as the attachment folder in SAP B1 in general settings->paths.
	example: \\10.58.32.131\temp\SL\B1Attachments
	
2.	Create a corresponding folder on the Linux machine.
	example:  /mnt/B1Attachments
		
3.	Mount the Linux folder to the Windows folder.
	Command sould look something like this: 
	mount -t cifs -o username=xxxxx,password=******,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777
	"//10.58.32.131/temp/SL/B1Attachments/" /mnt/B1Attachments
		
4.	Reboot Linux server.
		
5.	Optional, move all existed attachment files (the ones prior the changes of this document) to the new location.
	This step also requaries a database update (mainly for XIOMA addons) to update the attachment paths to the new one.
		
6.	Last but not least, on the windows machine create an internal user (Local Users and Groups) with read/write access to
	folders. Specifically the one created at step one. This user is being used for file transfering on XIOMA objects.
	Then setup the user name and its password to OneDealer Setup. 
	The keys are: NetworkUser, NetworkUserPass
Notes:	The network user is a requirement because XIOMA daoes not save attachments by SAP functionality.
	Thus, a web client is needed in order to work around it.
	Also, the attachments are synced only for Business Partners and Vehicle Master Data for the time being.
