Scenario

Some customers have custom web services or .NET methods that will return an image as a byte array (byte[]).  Since v7.5, we can now handle this byte array in KTA.

Explanation

Below is an example of a .NET method that takes a file path as an input and returns the file as a byte[].  Please know the returned byte[] is mapped to a process variable of type string.

After this activity executes, we can see the FileData variable stores a GUID at runtime.   This GUID is a pointer to where the byte[] data is stored in the DB as a custom asset.

This can then be passed to subsequent WebService/.NET calls.
