Dynamic excel filename Receiver Mail adapter

Hi all,
May i know what is the way to dynamically set the file name of attachment in receiver mail adapter.
Can we do using DynamicConfiguraion???
If yes how?
Thanks In Advance,
H.L.Babu

But i am not using any mail package.
and also in adapter module i have written code like..
byte by[] = generateExcel(is);
                  xp.setName(filename);
                  System.err.println("The name of the file."+filename);
                  xp.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
            xp.setContent(by);
                  System.err.println("After successful setting of XML Payload");
            msg.setDocument(xp);
            System.err.println("Message Set is successful");
But it is not getting the excact file name..

Retrieval of attachment filename - receiver mail adapter

Hi,
I am using the mail adapter to receive an e-mail into PI. This e-mail has an attached CSV file.
First, I am using the PayloadSwapBean to swap the application playload to the attachment payload
Second, I am using the MessageTransformBean to transform the CSV file into an XML document
These are both working fine and the message is then passing into the relevant message mapping.
However, I would like to be able to use the attachment filename in the message mapping.
Can anyone advise how to do this for the mail adapter ?
I've done it loads of times for the file adapter but never the mail adapter (when using attachments) so I am a bit stumped.
Any advice greatly received.
Cheers
Colin.

Hi Progirl,
I want to dynamically set the name of attachment in receiver mail Communication Channel.
Example: IN__9907211000004_4048454000005_20081211_01000000002643
The first two numbers 9907211000004 & 4048454000005 I want to read it from the message
20081211 this is the date and
And againg this number 01000000002643 is read from message.
I read from your response. You had created adapter module for the similar purpose. Can you share it. Since I am new to writing Adapter Module.
Thank You in Advance.

Dynamic filename in mail adapter

Hi,
how can I set the filename of a mail attachment dynamically in a receiver mail adapter (also dynamically configured)?
I had to uncheck the "keep attachment" because of our scenario.
If I check this box I get a .xml file which I can rename with the MessageTransformBean (but not dynamically?) but I get to much files in the mail.
Now I get a .dat file and want to rename it dynamically in e.g. dynamicName.txt.
Can you give me some input how to do that?
Thanks in advance
Dominic

Hi
<i>isn't it possible to set the filename of the attachment in the message-mapping?</i>
--->
Try writing this UDF so to get the name in mapping
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
conf.put(key,a); // a - parameter given to UDF that specifies filename
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
Hope this helps

Dynamic attachment name in receiver mail adapter for 1 attachment?

Hi,
seems to be a tricky thing....
The sender interface (file) picks up an xml file and a pdf document.
The receiver wants to get the xml file as a txt file and the pdf, both sent together by mail.
We are following this thread:
"Sending multiple attachments winthin a single Receiver Mail adapter in required format".
So far we are able to generate the txt file and send it together with the pdf to the recipient.
The txt file gets its name from the payload of the xml file.
Unfortunately the pdf should be renamed to the same name as the txt file.
And here we are stuck.
We generate the filename for the txt file in the mapping to the mail message (as usual ximail30.xsd).
But for the pdf we are only able to set a static name in the channel module page using
Transform.ContentDisposition.
Any ideas how to solve this are really welcome!!!!
(Solutions that do not talk about using a new module to be written are prefered.)

Dynamic attachment name with receiver mail adapter and use mail package

We need to send mapped XML payload as attachment (with dynamic name) to a recepient (recepient email id is part of input xml payload, but not part of the mapped XML payload).
I could probably do this using the adapter module (as per the following link),
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Adapter%20Module%20PI%207.0%20Set%20Attachment%20Name?bc=true
I would like to explore if this would be feasible using Mail package and XI payload.I already have a Java mapping that is converting the input XML to required Output format. If I am using Mail package (XI Payload), how do I go about sending this Output XML from java mapping as attachment to email id available in the input payload?

Hi,
1) XML payload as attachment (with dynamic name)
2) recipient (recipient email id is part of input xml payload, but not part of the mapped XML payload)
These two is possible by using Mail Package. You have a standard xsd for mail package which you can download from the SAP Note 748024.
The xml created in you java mapping which will be your attachment should be put into the <content> tag of the mail package xml structure. and the file name can be set in the <Content_Type> tag.
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p2:Mail xmlns:p2="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
<Subject>My Invoice</Subject>
<From>from email address<;/From>
<To>to email address</To>
<Content_Type>text/plain;name="MyFile.csv";</Content_Type> --> file name here
<Content>123;A49;aaa</Content> -> attachment xml here
</p2:Mail>
And you have to select MailPackage in the receiver mail adapter.

How to set "Cc" field in Dynamic Email address in Receiver Mail adapter

I have done the configuration for setting up the dynamic email address using the XSD provided by SAP in note no 748024. It is working fine.
Michal's blog Mail Adapter (XI) - how to implement dynamic mail address. was a gr8 help in doing this.
But there is no clue of setting up of "CC" in email.
There should be "CC" in email is our bussiness requirement.
Would appreciate your helps.
with regards,
Ravi Siddam

Hi,
If you do not need mail package for other reasons, I suppose it is enough to provide a value in Dynamic Configuration for fields "THeaderTO" and "THeaderCC" and the select "Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" and "Variable Transport Binding" in receiver Mail Adapter.
see <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6b/4493404f673028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">SAP help</a> for more details.

Dynamic file name of the attachment in receiver mail adapter

Hi
I have configured a receiver mail adapter which receives the payload as an xml attachment.
Right now the file name of the attachment is hardcoded to "invoice.xml".
I want to set it to dynamic ie. instead of "invoice.xml"... i want it as "invoice<invoicenumber>.xml".
Invoice number is present in the payload.
please suggest a solution w/o the need to develop a custom adapter module.

Configuring Receiver mail adapter with dynamic email addresses

Hi,
I'm a newbie to XI and I have problems in configuring the Receiver mail adapter with the "Use Mail package" option selected. I am trying pickup a file (using file adapter on Sender side, picks up a simple XML file) and after mapping in XI, send the message as an email message to dynamic email addresses.
Everything works fine if I did not select the "Use Mail Package". But when I choose that option it errors out. I followed this blog posted on SDN -
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address
The following XML message is my source
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Somenamespace">

What I want to accomplish is, I have a simple message mapping where the Studentdetails are mapped to, lets say Customer details. For convenience lets keep it simple, StudentId --> Customerid, (student)Firstname --> (customer)Firstname, (Student)Lastname --> (customer)Lastname
I would like to get the Customer details as an XML attachment or in the body of an email with from, to and subject corresponding to that specified in the <Mail> node.
I followed the instructions posted on the blog and it works fine if I don't map the studentdetails to customerdetails. I did multimapping, with one source message (the xml file I posted above) and two target messages (customerdetails and Mail, which is the external definition posted on the blog). I beleive I'm missing something here. Could somebody please guide me through this?
Thanks

hi,
I still have not found the solution for this problem. Michal, your blog works fine when my source message has got only the mail details. As per your advice, I tried modified the structure of the xsd file as follows

Excel file(.xls) as attachment and Body(Signature) via Receiver Mail Adapter

Hi PI Experts,
I have a requirement File(.txt) - PI(7.4) - mail (.xls attachment and signature in the body). Can anyone pls help me with the best approach to send excel file as mail attachment and signature in the body.
Thanks,
Sri

Hi
You can try this approach
1. use mail package and java mapping to populate the mail package.
inside the java mapping do the following
a. read the text file and convert it to excel and then set it as additional attachment.
b. map the signature and body with the field 'content' of mail package.
2. on the receiver mail adapter check both mail package and keep attachment options.
Hopefully this will work.

How to send mails to "CC" and "BCC" using receiver mail adapter dynamically

Hi,
Due to business requirement PI need to send mails dynamically to u201CCCu201D and u201CBCCu201D using receiver mail adapter.
We have an option to send mails to u201CTou201D dynamically, but are there any option to send mails u201CCCu201D and u201CBCCu201D dynamically.
Please some help to resolve the issue. Thanks
Regards,
Sreeramulu Konjeti.

Hi Sreeramulu,
As mentioned by Lucas, you can use the UDF. Inn addition to that, you need to define the Variable Headers under Variable transport binding after enabling the Adapter Specific Message Attributes.
For the Enabling ASMA, follow the below steps and check for the variable attributes.
Select the Advanced tab page.
   To save adapter-specific attributes in the message header of the XI message, select Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes and Variable Transport Binding.
The following attributes in the message header are then available for processing:
○       User: (technical name: TServerLocation)
○       Authentication key: (technical name: TAuthKey)
The following mail header fields are available for processing:
○       From: (technical name: THeaderFROM)
○       To: (technical name: THeaderTO)
○       Cc: (technical name: THeaderCC)
○       Bcc: (technical name: THeaderBCC)
○       Subject: (technical name: THeaderSUBJECT)
○       Reference to the mail that is to be replied to: (technical name: THeaderIN-REPLY-TO)
○       Reply to: (technical name: THeaderREPLY-TO)
○       Mail client program: (technical name: THeaderX-MAILER)
○       Send confirmation of receipt: (technical name: THeaderDISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION-TO)
○       Priority: (technical name: THeaderPRIORITY)
○       Importance of message: (technical name: THeaderIMPORTANCE)
   To transfer further header fields, set the relevant indicator for Variable Header. The technical names for the fields are XHeaderName1, XHeaderName2, and XHeaderName3.
The parameters are included in the mail header under the names specified here.
The attribute namespace for the adapter is http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail.
Thanks,

Receiver Mail Adapter, Mail Package with Payload as Attachment

Hi Everyone,
I have spent the better part of the day today searching and testing all of the different combinations that I could think of to solve this problem, so please don't just do an SDN search for me and cut/paste in the links as there are too many contradictive answers piling up over the last year.
I am trying to use a Receiver mail adapter to send some data using the mail package, and I want to have the <content> tag be in an attachment. I am using mail package to dynamically set the mail address, but to also try and turn my data into a csv file that the recipient can open in Excel.
My mail package sets the following values:
<Content_Type>text/plain</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment</Content_Disposition>
<Content>Sample Text</Content>
This blog is basically what I am trying to do:
<a href="/people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword:///people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword
But no where in here is he setting ContentDisposition, and he is (potentially) not using the MessageTransformBean module.
It is unclear if I need to use the MessageTransformBean to make this work?
Questions:
1) Do I need to use the MessageTransformBean?
2) Do I need to set the ContentDisposition in the mail package?
3) Does Service Pack matter with these settings? We are on SP15 upgrading to SP18 very soon.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
try:
<Content_Type>text/plain;name="file.csv"</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="file.csv"</Content_Disposition>
<Content>Sample Text</Content>

Change "subject" in Receiver Mail Adapter Module

Hi all,
following the "How To Guide" I developed a Module for my receiver mail adapter. Everything works fine.
Now my question: is it possible to change the content of the mail-"subject" in the module?
Your help is appreciated.
Carmen

Hi Stefan,
maybe I should describe my problem more detailed:
My scenario is RFC-XI-Mail. I use the mail package to determine the receiver of the mail dynamically. Another thing I want to do, is to attach a file to this mail which is located on the server. So far so good.
My problem is, that the name of the file (which I need in my adapter module) changes for every mail. So what I need is the possibility to deliver it to the adapter module.
I found out that it is possible to read the payload. So my idea was to hand it over in one of the fields like "subject". But now I want to change the subject afterwards...(delete the filename).
Maybe you have another idea?
Regards
Carmen

Receiver Mail Adapter message with PDF attachment

Hi.
We are trying to generate emails from the mail adapter that includes the plain text in the body of the resulting email and an attached PDF file. We receive the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:newMailRequest_MT xmlns:ns0="http:/pdk/sap/TorstenTest">
   <Sender/>
   <Receiver/>
   <BodyContent/>
   <Subject/>
   <Attachment/>
</ns0:newMailRequest_MT>
I have set up an interface and mail adapter to be able to produce emails with plain text in the body. I used SAP note 748024 for this.
So right now I can make XI send emails with dynamic mail addresses. My problem lies in sending attached files with the mails as well.
I have read most of the threads in here, but none of them seem to answer just how to include the attachment. Which field in the 'Mail' message type is used for the attachment??
What needs to be added to the communication channel and adapter for it to include attachments, while the body of the mail still keeps the plain text message??

hi
I have used the following links to send the file as an attachement and as payload.

SAP PI: Using Variable Header Binding in Receiver Mail Adapter

Hello,
I try to use Variable Header Bindings in the Receiver Mail Adapter. Therefore I wrote the following User-Defined-Function in a mapping:
Java Function Start -
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail",
    "XHeaderName1");
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail",
    "XHeaderName2");
DynamicConfigurationKey key3 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail",
    "XHeaderName3");
conf.put(key1, new String("Test1"));
conf.put(key2, new String("Test2"));
conf.put(key3, new String("Test3"));
Java Function End -
As expected I see the Attributes and Parameters in the Dynamic Configuration in the SAP XI Monitor:
Dynamic Configuration Informattion Start -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
- <SAP:DynamicConfiguration xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail" name="XHeaderName3">Test3</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail" name="XHeaderName2">Test2</SAP:Record>
<SAP:Record namespace="http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail" name="XHeaderName1">Test1</SAP:Record>
</SAP:DynamicConfiguration>
Dynamic Configuration Informattion End -
Now I configure my Receiver eMail Communication Channel and set the Variable Header Fields as follows:
   Adapter Specific Attributes: Checked
   Variable Transport Binding: Checked
   Variable Header (XHeaderName1): TSender
   Variable Header (XHeaderName2): TReceiver
   Variable Header (XHeaderName3): TOther
With this configuration I would have expected three new Header fields in the Header of the eMail, the reicever gets. But they are not there.
When I set standard attributes like THeaderTO, THeaderSubject a.s.o this works fine and the values are also set accordingly. Where it the mistake here?
The PI version we are working with is PI 7.0 SP10.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Steffen

Hi Luciana,
Honestly, I cant really remember how or if it was resolved and I was just helping out on the issue, but another consultant continued with it, so unfortunately I cant be any help on this.
Good luck!
