AppInterface.get_app_attach


Purpose
Retrieves an app attachment from the Insight server, placing it in the Python working directory where it can be read by the model.
Synopsis
get_app_attach(self, filename: str) -> None
Argument
filename 
The filename of the attachment to be retrieved.
Example
Example of copying an app attachment called my_attach.dat to the working directory.
>>> insight.get_app_attach('my_attach.dat')
... if insight.attach_status == AttachStatus.OK:
...     with open('my_attach.dat') as f:
...         pass  # process the file
... else:
...     print("Error retrieving attachment")

1. Check the attachment status code using insight.attach_status to determine whether the attachment was successfully fetched.
2. Attempting to access attachments when the model is not being run through Xpress Insight will cause the model to abort with an error.
