Wouldn't the proprietary encryption that Remedy uses for its attachment create a problem to read attachments stored by some other application in a foreign table in a BLOB? Or is the Vendor form functionality smart enough to know that since its not a ARS attachment to use the regular database compression algorithm to read the attachment?

Hi, The Vendor-form-functionality (ARDBC) definitely supports the attachment data type, but if ARGetEntryBLOB is fully supported depends on that specific implementation of ARDBC. Are you writing your own plugin or do you make use of one that someone else wrote? Many of the Vendor-forms supplied by BMC only support the bare minimum required of them, depending on their purpose. For example they may have implemented simple qualifications for searching using ARGerListEntryWithFields, but not retrieval of individual records using ARGetEntry. In other words if you do a search in ARUser, you will see the list, but the fields will be blank in the form details.
