if you are using sharePoint app then you need to provide @target. in workflow or direct JS you do not need @target.

Also try below call. this will pop error. Then I or someone will be able to help you.

$.ajax( {
url : oDataUrl,
async: false,
type : 'POST',
headers : {
'accept' : 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'content-type' : 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-HTTP-Method' : 'PUT',
'X-RequestDigest' : $( '#__REQUESTDIGEST' ).val()
},
success : function() { alert('Attachment renamed'); },
fail :function(sender, args) { alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());

} );

Hi,

When i Execute the moveTo through Ajax Request URL,i get Error :The length of the url for this request exceeds the configured maxurllength value and what other suggests is the web.config changes which are only for On-Premise and the other option Microsoft suggests is SP.RequestExecutor.js.

Hence i tried below code of URL:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn450841.aspx#bk_FileMoveTo

executor.executeAsync({   
url: "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web
       /getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/Shared Documents/filename.docx')     
/moveto(newurl='/Other Folder/filename.docx',flags=1)?@target=''",   
method: "POST",   
success: successHandler,   
error: errorHandler 
});
but iam getting Error as Bad Request -1002
The Host and APP Web url is as shown in below screenshot

 
and the final url formed is as shown below.

Since i am new to this, i cannot understand what the error in URL

User Move file REST Call.

Folders of the attachment can be obtained in list path and ID of the item. So you will write a move call for that.

Let me know if you have not fixed. So that I can give you more details.

Hi iam trying to rename the List attachment by using moveto both in javascript and in sharepoint 2013 workflows by using moveto for Sharepoint Online Application
as in below code,

function renameAttachment( data ) { alert("@ 102 in renameAttachment data="+data);
data = data.d.results;
for ( var i = 0; i < data.length; i++ ) {
var oldName = data[i].FileName,
newName =oldName.substring(0,oldName.indexOf("."))+modified+oldName.substring(oldName.indexOf("."),oldName.length),//oldName + ' ' + modified,
oldUrl = data[i].ServerRelativeUrl,
newUrl = oldUrl.replace( oldName, newName ),
oDataUrl = siteUrl + "/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('" + oldUrl + "')/moveto(newurl='" + newUrl + "', flags=1)";
//oDataUrl = siteUrl + "/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('" + oldUrl + "')/copyto(newurl='" + newUrl + "',boverwrite=false)";
alert("@ 110 in renameAttachment data="+data+" oldName="+oldName+" newName="+newName+" oldUrl="+oldUrl+" newUrl="+newUrl+" oDataUrl="+oDataUrl);
$.ajax( {
url : oDataUrl,
async: false,
type : 'POST',
headers : {
'accept' : 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'content-type' : 'application/json;odata=verbose',
'X-HTTP-Method' : 'PUT',
'X-RequestDigest' : $( '#__REQUESTDIGEST' ).val()
},
success : function() { alert('Attachment renamed'); },
fail : failHandler
} );
}
}
}
but in sharepoint workflow through Web Service call it gives UnAuthorized Error whereas executing above javascript in page,its not working(i mean its neither gives error nor attachments are renamed),
Anyone Knows,Kindly help in resolving this.
Thanks in Advance
