// Email Base64 encoded PDF file from Orchestrator
//
// This sample takes a base64 encoded PDF from a web service and attaches
// it to an email message with vRealize Orchestrator.
//
// Currently this sample requires enabling local process execution.
// The local process and file I/O will be performed as the 'vco' user.
// See the following documentation section for details on how to enable
// the local process execution:

//Action Inputs:
// base64String  -  string
//
//Return type: void
