OK - The request has succeeded.

- AttachmentPagedResponse
  - `total` integer — The total number of results.
  - `offset` integer — The offset for the results.
  - `limit` integer — The maximum number of results to be returned.
  - `results` AttachmentImpl[] — The list of results.
    - `id` string, uuid, required — The id of the represented object (entity).
    - `createdBy` string, uuid — The id of the user that created this resource.
    - `createdOn` integer — The timestamp (in UTC time standard) of the creation of this resource.
    - `lastModifiedBy` string, uuid — The id of the user who modified this resource the last time.
    - `lastModifiedOn` integer — The timestamp (in UTC time standard) of the last modification of this resource.
    - `system` boolean — Whether this is a system resource or not.
    - `resourceType` 'View' | 'Asset' | 'Community' | 'Domain' | 'AssetType' | 'DomainType' | 'Status' | 'User' | 'ClassificationMatch' | 'UserGroup' | 'Attribute' | 'StringAttribute' | 'ScriptAttribute' | 'BooleanAttribute' | 'DateAttribute' | 'NumericAttribute' | 'SingleValueListAttribute' | 'MultiValueListAttribute' | 'Comment' | 'Attachment' | 'Responsibility' | 'Workflow' | 'Job' | 'Relation' | 'RelationType' | 'ComplexRelation' | 'ComplexRelationType' | 'ArticulationRule' | 'Assignment' | 'Scope' | 'RelationTrace' | 'ValidationRule' | 'DataQualityRule' | 'DataQualityMetric' | 'Address' | 'InstantMessagingAccount' | 'Email' | 'PhoneNumber' | 'Website' | 'Activity' | 'FormProperty' | 'WorkflowTask' | 'ActivityChange' | 'WorkflowInstance' | 'Role' | 'AttributeType' | 'BooleanAttributeType' | 'DateAttributeType' | 'DateTimeAttributeType' | 'MultiValueListAttributeType' | 'NumericAttributeType' | 'ScriptAttributeType' | 'SingleValueListAttributeType' | 'StringAttributeType' | 'ViewSharingRule' | 'ViewAssignmentRule' | 'JdbcDriverFile' | 'JdbcDriver' | 'JdbcIngestionProperties' | 'CsvIngestionProperties' | 'ExcelIngestionProperties' | 'ConnectionStringParameter' | 'AssignedCharacteristicType' | 'Notification' | 'Tag' | 'ComplexRelationLegType' | 'ComplexRelationAttributeType' | 'ComplexRelationLeg' | 'BaseDataType' | 'AdvancedDataType' | 'DiagramPicture' | 'DiagramPictureSharingRule' | 'DiagramPictureAssignmentRule' | 'Rating' | 'Classification' | 'PhysicalDataConnector' | 'Context', required — The type of the resource, e.g. [Community, Asset, Domain, Attribute, Relation, WorkflowInstance, ...]. This property is deprecated and will be removed in the future. In order to stay backwards compatible and to enable introduction of new types of resources, where necessary, a resource discriminator property (of type String) has been added to specific subtypes of Resource, e.g. assignedResourceDiscriminator on AssignedResource, or attributeDiscriminator on Attribute. For new types of resource that didn't exist before this change, the resourceType will be BaseDataType.
    - `baseResource` ResourceReference — Represents reference to the resource.
      - `id` string, uuid, required — The id of the referenced resource.
      - `resourceType` 'View' | 'Asset' | 'Community' | 'Domain' | 'AssetType' | 'DomainType' | 'Status' | 'User' | 'ClassificationMatch' | 'UserGroup' | 'Attribute' | 'StringAttribute' | 'ScriptAttribute' | 'BooleanAttribute' | 'DateAttribute' | 'NumericAttribute' | 'SingleValueListAttribute' | 'MultiValueListAttribute' | 'Comment' | 'Attachment' | 'Responsibility' | 'Workflow' | 'Job' | 'Relation' | 'RelationType' | 'ComplexRelation' | 'ComplexRelationType' | 'ArticulationRule' | 'Assignment' | 'Scope' | 'RelationTrace' | 'ValidationRule' | 'DataQualityRule' | 'DataQualityMetric' | 'Address' | 'InstantMessagingAccount' | 'Email' | 'PhoneNumber' | 'Website' | 'Activity' | 'FormProperty' | 'WorkflowTask' | 'ActivityChange' | 'WorkflowInstance' | 'Role' | 'AttributeType' | 'BooleanAttributeType' | 'DateAttributeType' | 'DateTimeAttributeType' | 'MultiValueListAttributeType' | 'NumericAttributeType' | 'ScriptAttributeType' | 'SingleValueListAttributeType' | 'StringAttributeType' | 'ViewSharingRule' | 'ViewAssignmentRule' | 'JdbcDriverFile' | 'JdbcDriver' | 'JdbcIngestionProperties' | 'CsvIngestionProperties' | 'ExcelIngestionProperties' | 'ConnectionStringParameter' | 'AssignedCharacteristicType' | 'Notification' | 'Tag' | 'ComplexRelationLegType' | 'ComplexRelationAttributeType' | 'ComplexRelationLeg' | 'BaseDataType' | 'AdvancedDataType' | 'DiagramPicture' | 'DiagramPictureSharingRule' | 'DiagramPictureAssignmentRule' | 'Rating' | 'Classification' | 'PhysicalDataConnector' | 'Context', required — The type of the resource, e.g. [Community, Asset, Domain, Attribute, Relation, WorkflowInstance, ...]. This property is deprecated and will be removed in the future. In order to stay backwards compatible and to enable us to introduce new types of resources, we are replacing the ResourceType enum with a String. For new types of resources that didn't exist before this change, resourceType will be BaseDataType. Please use the resourceDiscriminator property instead. Refer to the object containing the ResourceReference for possible values.
      - `resourceDiscriminator` string — The resource discriminator, which indicates the type of the referenced resource, e.g. "Community", "Asset", ... Check the documentation of the class using the resource reference for detailed documentation regarding the possible resource discriminator values.
    - `file` FileReferenceImpl — The reference to the file contained by this attachment.
      - `id` string, uuid — The ID of the file
      - `name` string — The name of the file.
      - `contentType` string — The MIME type of the file content.
