You should not need any API application as you could do everything inside 
Remedy.

Save the attachment to the server using a Set Fields $PROCESS$ 
PERFORM-ACTION-SAVE-ATTACHMENT   

I know there are command line versions of Zip available, so you just have to 
call one in a Run Process command to Zip the file you just saved on the server. 
I would use a Set Fields $PROCESS$ action so you can capture the 
success/failure of the zip.   

You can then add the new Zip file back to Remedy using a Set Fields of 
$PROCESS$ PERFORM-ACTION-ADD-ATTACHMENT   

Remedy can then push the new zip attachment out thru a Set Fields web service 
call.

Subject: Zipping up attachments

Hi all,

I have a requirement that in order to send an attachment across web services, 
that the attachment must be zipped first.  I was wondering if there was any way 
that once the user has submitted an attachment to go back in and zip the 
attachment and then send it across web services?  I would think that I would 
have to call an API to extract the attachment and then another procedure to zip 
it up.  I was just wondering if anyone has done anything like this before and 
if they would not mind sharing how they did it.  Thanks in advance!

Greg
