Kunal,

You don't mention what product you are working with but assuming Work Manager 6.1/6.2 the attached documents are setup out of the box to download on demand via a background push rather than always during the sync. 

Yes Agentry supports the scenario you describe but you will need to modify the application definitions to make it work.  Also, please be aware that depending on the size and number of documents that this may significantly increase the transmission times for sync.  That is primarily the reason they are setup as on demand push.

Hello Bill , I am using workmanager 5.3 with Agentry version 6.0.22.0. is it possible in this version ? Thanks & Regards, Kunal Varaiya

Kunal,

Yes it can be done there as well, but since attached document support is not provided out of the box for that version you will have to do more work to get it configured.

Hello Bill , Thanks for your replay ... Can you provide some suggestion ? or do you have some documents for it ? so it can help me to understand , how much effort required for it ? Because , as per my knowledge , its coming by default in SMP 3.0 with WM 6.2 . right ? Thanks & Regards, Kunal Varaiya

Work Manager 6.2 does support attachments by default but they are downloaded on demand one by one.  The base product does not have a download all during fetch option.

Kunal,

There was actually a note released recently related to downloading documents through the fetch.  Please review the following for more details.
