Create attachments through MIF
Starting from Maximo 7.1.1.6 it is possible to add an attachment (aka doclink) to an objects through MIF.
In this example I will show how to add a short text file to an asset record.
First of all you have to create an Object Structure with DOCLINK as a child object of ASSET.
Now you can use HTTP or REST calls to add an attachment to an asset. If you are not familiar with this things I suggest you to take a look at this post.
After server attempts I have managed to find the minumum set of attributes to do the job.
Modify the XML above for your case:

Modify the XML above for your case:
- ASSETNUM and SITE uniquely identify the asset record
- DOCTYPE is the folder where you want to put your attachment
- DESCRIPTION is the descriptive name of the file
- DOCUMENTDATA is the binary content of your file encoded with Base64 algorithm
