Authorized administrators can use a control file to replace an Ftmap attachment by adding the following lines to the FluidTopicsControlFile.xml file:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<controlFile>
    <resources>
        <resource>
            <originId>$FTMAP_ID</originId>
            <attachments>
                <attachment>
                    <originId>my_old_attachment</originId>
                    <displayName>My attachment</displayName>
                    <filePath>$NEW_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME</filePath>
                    <mimeType>$ATTACHMENT_MIME_TYPE</mimeType>
                </attachment>
            </attachments>
        </resource>
    </resources>
</controlFile>

In the attachment sub node, the only parameter that must be set manually is the filePath parameter. If values for the filename, originId, and/or displayName parameters are not set manually, Fluid Topics extracts their values from that set for the filepath parameter. If a value is not set for the mimeType parameter, Fluid Topics computes it automatically.

Be careful not to confuse the originId metadata associated with a map attachment and the originId metadata associated with a map. The first is defined at the attachment level within the node of an Ftmap file. The second can be retrieved in the document's Metadata journal.
