Conversion Agent - Mail Adapter integration issue

Hi Experts,
I have a Conversion Agent Serializer for generating a text file on the receiver side.
The Serializer works perfectly with the File Adapter on the receiver
side and generates the text file.
Now I have a requirement to send this file as an attachement in an email.
When I include the Serializer Module in the File Adapter
(Receiver), the email is not triggered.
The Communication Channel Monitoring shows the following:
2007-04-29 07:34:55      Success         Message successfully received

The Audit log above states that the Serializer was executed successfully

The Message Content shows the Payload being generated correctly. But the
Email is still not triggered.
Could someone please provide some help with pinpointing the issue over here.
Michael, are you there??
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Ahmad,
The mail adapter works perfectly fine when I remove the Conversion Agent module from it. And the Conversion Agent module works perfectly fine with the File Adapter on the receiver side. So that authenticates that both the objects (Mail Adapter - receiver & Conversion Agent Serailizer module) are configured correctly as individual objects.
I have used the following parameters in the receiver mail adapter:
PARAMETERS
Transport Protocall: SMTP
Message Protocall: XIPAYLOAD
URL: smtp://xyz.com
Content Encoding: Base64
Keep Attachments: <TICKED>
MODULE

Hi Reddy,
We´ve got the following scenario:
Exchange-Server (is always up)
XI Mail-ReceiverAdapter
I use IMAP4 to access the Outlook-Email-Box
Everything works fine. But some Emails aren´t processed.
I think it´s a problem between adapterframework and the integration engine?
There is no difference between the emails?
If you´ll need further informations ask me?
Thanks

Content Conversion in Mail Adapter

Hi folks,
I would like to know whether it is possible to do content conversion when using a mail adapter.
The scenario is :

Encoding conversion in Mail adapter

Hi,
we have a problem with the Mail adapter...
We try to send an email out of the XI to some service providers. The outgoing data is stored in an XML structure. This structure agrees with the conventions of the Mail Package format, which is used for dynamic Mail generation. The content of this Mail Package structure is a semicolon separated string, which should be attached as a CSV-File to the outgoing email. Up to this everything works fine. We get the email with the attachement out of the system, send it to a SMTP server and transfer it to a previous defined email address.
But when we open the attachement (with Wordpad, Excel,...) all german umlaut have been lost. The problem is, when transfering the Mail Package content into a File, this File is UTF-8 encoded.
Can anyone give us a hint how to convert the encoding of the attached file from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1)?
Actual we have set the following parameters on the module page:
Work sequence
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean      Local Enterprise Bean      XML2Plain
2. localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean       Local Enterprise Bean      mail
Modulconfiguration
XML2Plain     Transform.ContentDisposition     attachment;filename="ABC.csv"
XML2Plain     Transform.ContentType      text/plain;charset=latin-1
XML2Plain     Transform.ContentDescription      "ABC"
I hope we get some help...
Regards,
Lars

Hi,
Hi
We handled the similar requirement in our project.
To convert the target file encoding UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. For this i have used XSLT mapping, by changing the output encoding as shown in the code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="urn:abc.com:pi:ab:cd:FileToMail:Mail">
<xsl:variable name="vfileName" select="/a:MT_Mail/FileName"/>
                <xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" encoding="iso-8859-1" media-type="TYP"/>
also set the charset value to ISO-8859-1 as shown in the XSLT mapping
                 <xsl:text>----mime-boundary
Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1"
Content-Disposition: inline
In Adapter module, add XMLAnonymizerBean

Sender Mail Adapter ASMA issue - due to limitation of length upto 200 only.

Hi,
I have a scenario where i have to pull the emails from the mail server using sender mail adpater with XIPAYLOAD as message protocol.
Also i am setting the "Set Adapter Setting Messgae Attributes" for retrieving values form header such as SHeaderCC etc..
I use dynamic config in the mapping to get those values.
The Scenario works fine, but when the cc length is more that 200, i am not getting any value in the inbound messgae to mapping.
In SAP help, it says, "The length of the attribute value is defined by the XI message protocol. Values can be a maximum of 200 characters long. If, for example, you assign longer values in the mapping or adapter modules then this can lead to processing errors at runtime or the values are shortened to 200 characters. This shortening can also lead to a processing error. The processing error that occurs depends on the components that access the attributes."
In my case, the cc is empty if the length is more that 200.
Any idea how to tackle this issue? I think even writng the sender adapter module wont solve the issue as the any attribute lenght inthe message ehader cannot be greater than 200.
All ideas are welcome.
Regards,
Manikandan R

Hi
As you said this error will occur when the mail messages with header attributes containing the values more than 200 chars. By including the adapter module u2013 DynamicConfigurationBean (valuelength) in the configuration part - Advanced you can avoid this error.
Processing Sequence:
AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean
Module Configuration
dc.valueLength 200
Note:
This module will remove the header attributes if the value is > 200.

Sender Mail Adapter Content Conversion

Hi All,
     I just want to know if we can send a flat file(Rather Than the XML) with content conversion using Mail Adapter. If yes then what are all the possible ways for this.
I have tried but i am sucessful in sending the complete payload as a XML file, but i want the file with the content conversion, so that this should be able to picked by the third party systems.
Will be oblidge if any supported blog or pdf is provided for the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Jay

Hi,
Now for the negative items, i want to send them back to business as flat file format
using the mail adapter as attachment. This will help them to process the file as for there
requirement.
Since you need to send an email message you have to use the format mentioned here: (S-UserID required)
https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012006153200000361852004E/ximail30_xsd.txt
Save this file as an XSD in you local system and upload it as an External Definition in your XI server.
Develop MI based on this External Definition (IN, ASYNC)
Create an Interface Mapping with Source as the file containing Negative items and target as the above developed MI
Now you need to develop an XSLT mapping (can use StylusStudio to do it) between the source and target Message Types
This XSLT mapping has to be designed in such a way that it extracts the payload out of the Negative Items message and maps it to the target (Content) field....you need to use CDATA element of XSLT here.
In this mapping itself you can define to what email-id you want to send the message.....
Everything happens on the XI --> Business service side...so it is not the sender channel but is the receiver channel:)
Your XSLT mapping will look something like:
<Mail>
     <Content>
          XSLT CODE
     </Content>
</Mail>
where Mail and Content are the tags in the email message format...the External definition one.....
If you are new to XSLT then refer to my answer in this thread...

Seeburger BIC vs Informatica Conversion Agent

Hi Experts,
I am hoping I can seek some feedback on the above mentioned subject. I am going through an implementation currently which involves EDIFACT and X12 - various message types e.g. Orders, Desadv, Invoice, Order Confirmation and a few more.
As part of the implementation we need to choose a tool to do EDI to XML conversion which can also do EDIFACT/X12 validations (syntax & semantic) plus a functional Acknowledgment.
The two final options we have chosen are Informatica's Conversion Agent and Seeburger BIC (given we are using Seeburger FTP adapter for communication already).
Now to make a final decision I was hoping if some people can share their experience (s) and give some pro's and con's for choosing one or the other please?
Any comments will be highly appreciated.
regards

Hi mimranacc,
I was hoping if someone can comment on Conversion Agent as well or if there is a white paper on the comparison of the two?
I have extensively worked on Conversion Agent. My experience has been real good with this tool. It is quite handy and easy to use.
Apart from unstructured messages from MS Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint etc, Conversion Agent can manage semi-structured formats like EDI, HL7, ANSI X12, COBOL and HIPA.
It consists of set of libraries that are deployed on PI's J2EE server and is accessed by AE during runtime.
The +ve points are -
1. Very easy to install and use,
2. Easily integrated with SAP PI,
3. No additional adapter required for transformation to / from XML,
4. No extra adapters installed on PI server, which enhances the performance,
5. Monitor Conversion Agent messages in Integration Server.
Unfortunately, I haven't worked with Seeburger BIC, so can't provide you a comparison.
Hope this helps.

Neetesh

Hi All,
Issue has been resolved. There was some minor issue in the XSL. The XSL Stylus studio was not reporting this as an error. However PI's XSL engine was reporting that error. This error message was not showing up in runtime workbench. However, when i looked at the default trace, there were few more errors. After fixing the XSL, I am able to received the email

Mail adapter module UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 conversion

Hi!
I've a problem with a mail attachment which is generated by an adapter module for the mail adapter. The content type is set to "Application/EDIFACT; charset=iso-8859-1" when I add the attachment, but the mail adapter ignores the charset-setting.
Therefore german "umlauts" like ü are displayed in a wrong way: Ã¼
When I set the content, I transform it in ISO-8859-1 : attachment.setContent(edifactString.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"),"ISO-8859-1");
When I test the result of edifactString.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"), I get the String in the right character encoding, but the mail adapter seems to "fix" the encoding
I also tried to use the messageTransformBean, but it doesn't worked.
Anyone knows how to solve this issue?
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi all!
I found a solution for this problem: First I used the TextPayload-Object for the Attachment which should be added. It seems that the TextPayload-Object has some bugs handling different encodings (handels only Unicode and deletes the charset=... setting from the ContentType).
When using the Payload object for the attachment (which handles binary data), there is no conversion to Unicode, so I get my attachment as desired (but still without the charset-setting).
Best regards,
Daniel

Sender Mail Adapter issue

Hi All,
We are getting this error in Sender Mail adapter.
"exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation"
It is a (Lotus Notes) Mail to File scenario.
Used POP3, and gave the URL as POP:// ** .
I have tried pinging the server and getting a good response.
I have also tried the OS01 ans it returned a response : Program Terminated.
I am not sure if the POP3 port is enabled.
Are there any check points we are missing ?
Please throw some light on this as we need to solve this asap ..

Edited by: YashwanthSVK on Aug 2, 2011 7:18 PM

Shabarish is right.
This seem a connectivity issue. Try to ping Mail server from your PI System and check pop3 port.

Mail Adapter and File content conversion.

I have a scenario to send data from SAP to 4 different boards. I have used a Multi mapping for this scenario. I am using Proxy for SAP to xi and SOAP, File and Mail adapter for the external connections.
Questions:
1) I need to send a mail in CSV or Excell format in one scenario. I have used AF_StrictXml2Plain Module but its not working? any thoughts?
2) In the file adapter I have to add the YYYYMMDD (current Date) to the file name? when I use timestamp i get the time too, any way of getting only date? I cant use the Variable substitution as i dont have date in my payload.
3) Receiver File content conversion:
My Message Type Looks like this
MT_XX_XX
     Row
        title
        xxx
I have used these parameters:
Recordset Structure: Row
Row.addHeaderLine : 0
Row.fieldSeparator : ,
Row.endSeparator: 'nl'
am I doing something worng, the file content conversion doesnt work.
Please let me know
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Make sure u are using the bean before the mail adapter bean.
Before using the file content conversion make sure that there are no substructures in it , in order to use addheader line as 0. else use addheaderline 3 and give the headerline as comma seperated values
for e.g if this is the type then addheader line= 0
Type 1 :
Record_Mt
     Row
         field1
         field2
else if this the type then addheaderline = 3
*Type 2: *
Record_Mt
     Row1
         field1
         field2
     Row2
         field1
         field2
add module like this
localejbs/sap.com/AF_Modules/StrictXml2PlainBean
with the module key e.g. key
for type 1 struct (as above )add parameter- key as singleRecordType and value as Row with comma seperated value. (remember header line is 0)
for type 2 structure (as above )add parameter- key as recordTypes and value as Row1, Row2 with comma seperated value. (remember header line is 3)
