How do I transfer rich text attachments from one document to another

I have 2 documents which are supposed work in such a way to be able to transfer files between them. However, it doesn't work. The exception I get is Exception occurred calling method NotesDocument.save() Notes error: One or more of the source document's attachment are missing. Run Fixup to delete the document in the source database. This happens after I try to call save() function on the document to which I've just transfered files from the first.

The functions are below:

function transferFiles(docToGetFrom, docToTransferTo, fileFieldFromFirstName, fileFieldFromSecondName) 
{
    var rit1:NotesRichTextItem = getFirstNotesRichTextItem(docToGetFrom, fileFieldFromFirstName);
    docToTransferTo.copyItem(rit1, fileFieldFromSecondName);
    deleteAllFilesFromDocument(docToGetFrom, fileFieldFromFirstName);

    docToTransferTo.save();
}

function getFirstNotesRichTextItem(documentToGetFrom, fileFieldName) 
{
    if (documentToGetFrom == null)
    {
        return(null);
    }
    if (!documentToGetFrom.hasItem(fileFieldName))
    {
        return(null);
    }
    var rit1:NotesRichTextItem = documentToGetFrom.getFirstItem(fileFieldName);

    return rit1;
}

function deleteAllFilesFromDocument(documentToDeleteFrom, fileFieldName) 
{
    var arr = getAllEmbeddedObjects(documentToDeleteFrom, fileFieldName);

    for(var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
    {
        arr[i].remove();
    }

    documentToDeleteFrom.save();

}

function getAllEmbeddedObjects(documentToGetFrom, fileFieldName) 
{

    var rit1:NotesRichTextItem = getFirstNotesRichTextItem(documentToGetFrom, fileFieldName);
    if (rit1 == null)
    {
        return(null);
    }
    try
    {
    var arr=rit1.getEmbeddedObjects();
    return arr;
    }
    catch(e)
    {
        return(null);
    } 

}

According to plain logic, I need to do the following in order to make it work:

  1. Get attachments from the document A
  2. Copy them to the document B
  3. Remove attachments from the document A
  4. Call save() on A
  5. Call save() on B

I did exactly the same, but nevertheless get this nasty exception. Also, I've tried to solve the problem by setting OLEDisableFX to 1, but with no luck. I assume that something must be wrong with the method copyItem() (I guess it can only work properly with simple datatypes). What's the problem? Thanks in advance.enter image description here

Use the CopyItemToDocument method of the NotesItem class. The following is some code I used in a LotusScript agent but the CopyItemToDocument method is also available in Java and SSJS.

    If doc.Hasitem("RTF1") Then
        Set item = Nothing
        Set item = doc.getFirstItem("RTF1")
        Call item.Copyitemtodocument(targetdoc, "targetRTF")
        Call item.Remove()
    End If

You'll probably need to detach the attachment from the source document and attach it to the target document. See the NotesEmbeddedObject class for examples.
