Problem wiht sender mail adapter.

Hello.
I have a mail to RFC scenario.
There sender mail adapter fails if the mails in the inbox is encoded in specific formats.
I think the mail adapter does not understand this encoding.
Below is the error i got.
error occured: [2008-09-08T08:22:25Z] 5 new messages found; processing message 1exception caught during processing mail message[1]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 2exception caught during processing mail message[2]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 3exception caught during processing mail message[3]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 4exception caught during processing mail message[4]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 5exception caught during processing mail message[5]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; action[s] taken
Is there a solution 2 overcome this problem.
I tries to use a module called "TextCodepageConversionBean" but it was not of much use.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vignesh

HI
Mail adapter does not understand "UTF-7" as shown in the error.
Mail adapter supports only
base64
Quoted-Printable

If you want to make your adapter more than this. Then create a custom module using open libraries that will allow you to read many Encoding standards.
Thanks

Problem with Sender Mail Adapter

Hi experts,
I'm developing a Mail-XI-RFC scenario and have a problem in the mapping. I have created a MI based in the structure of the attachment of the mail. I have a mapping that does xml->RFC and tests OK. When I send a mail to the account of the sender adapter, the system generates two payloads, the 'MailMessage' and the 'MailAttachment-1' that is the xml to map, but I have an error in SXM_MONI 'Cannot produce target element /ns0:...RFC name'.
The Sender Adapter configuration uses message protocol XIPAYLOAD, I have checked Mail Package, base 64 and keep Attachments. Interface namespace is the same as the xml and default interface name is the message interface created of type my xml.
What is wrong?
Best Regards,
Alfredo Lagunar.

In this case you need to use payloadswap bean for swapping the payload and attachment

Problems with sender mail adapter

Hi XI Gurus
We have gone through a lot of blogs and searched a lot on the XI forum on how to configure the sender mail adapter with attachments but we still can't get it working at our site. Here are the issues -
1. When we define our data type in the IR as let's say out_email_dt with namespace "http://www.xyz.com" the mapping fails. In the monitor(SXMB_MONI) the message from the sender mail adapter comes in like this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
<xim:Mail xmlns:xim="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30" encoding="quoted-printable">
<Subject>test 10</Subject>
<From>"Test User" <[email protected]></From>
<To>"XI Test Account" <[email protected]></To>
<Content_Type>text/plain;charset="us-ascii"</Content_Type>
<Date>2007-05-08T05:34:38Z</Date>
<Message_ID><[email protected]></Message_ID>
<Content>This is the voice of the Mysterons=0A</Content>
</xim:Mail>
Question 1 - do we have to define our data type as "Mail" under the namespace "http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30".
Question 2 - If you look at the content of the <From>,<To>,<Message_ID> tags you will see that there is content with <> tags which is causing the message mapping to fail. Is there a way of telling XI that they are not xml tags but part of some other tags?
2. Also the PayloadSwapBean doesn't seem to swap the payload to be the attachment.
3. Can we use masks in the PayloadSwapBean for attachment names like "." as we don't know what the file name is going to be as we have multiple partners who will be sending emails to the same address and with different file formats.
Thanks in advance.

Problem polling Inbox with Sender Mail adapter

Hi,
I have a funny problem with Sender Mail adapter (IMAP Protocol)
It was working fine previously.
Now, when I poll the Inbox, 2 things happen. After re-activation:
1. If there is a new mail in the Inbox, the Communication channel marks the mail as read, but still keeps reading the same mail into XI.
2. If there are no new mails in the Inbox, it reads the already read mails in the Inbox one by one. So all old mails start entering XI.
This problem exists only with the Inbox. It works fine with other folders for the same mail ID.
Any inputs as to why this is happening?
Regards,
Puloma.

Hi,
We re-started the server and problem was solved. But we don't know why the Adapter Engine was behaving erratically.

Puloma.

Sender Mail Adapter problem

Hi,
I am having problems to get my sender mail adapter running.
I configured it with the following parameters:
Transport protocol: POP3
Message Protocol: XIALL
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
URL: pop://server
username + pw
poll intervall: 1 Min.
The adapter is active and if I look into the adapter monitoring everything seems to be fine (green light).
But the adapter doesn't poll the messages from the mail account and I cannot see any activity in the message monitoring.
If I try the same configuration with Thunderbird everthing works fine. Also my receiving mail adapter works without any problems for the same account.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be or how I could find out what my mail adapter is doing?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi all, hi Andreas,
have you solved you problem? Could you please describe how you did it.
I have the same situation and I haven't any ideas how can I manage it.
I checked all parameters and compared they with documentation. Everything seems to be ok.
I didn't see any messages in the message monitoring, but in the chanel monitoring I found follows:
exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
I tried the same configuration with email client and it worked. I tried change POP on IMAP with URL imap://server/folder. It didn't work also.
Could you please help me?
Thank you in advance,
Anna

This is also how the data come into XI, and then the mapping crashes, how do I change to XML for the mapping to no crash.
I cannot seem to find anything on the module configuration to work for the Sender Mail adapter.
Thanks
Clinton

Hi,
1. You can use MessageTranformBean to convert the Text to XML.
Please look into this article for a demo on this,
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f02d12a7-0201-0010-5780-8bfc7d12f891
it talks about JMS but the messagetransformbean can be used for Mail adapters as well.

Sender Mail Adapter

Hi,
I am working on Sender Mail Adapter. I have done the total configuration but unable to sucess the scenarios. In the CC monitoring, it is saying that "Not Intialised" Even though i send and receive the messages from My Lotus Notes Inbox. I activated all the objects.
I have done the following examples:
Transport Protocal: POP3
Message Protocal: XIALL
Given the URL and UserId and PWD also
Poll Intevel: 1 (Mins)
Adapter Status: Active
Please help to me solve this problem. I already raised the one more thread today but didn't get solutions.
Note: Do i need to do any setting from the Lotus notes(Mail Server) to diver my messages.
Thanks in Advance,
I found the problem with SMTP Address. Can i use the SMTP Url for POP3 or IMP4 protocal. Is there any thing else because if i use the Same SMTP Address, it is giving exception
Best Regards,
Vijay

Hi Gangisetty,
 SMTP is the out going server(for sending mails out) while POP3 is the in coming(receiving mails) server. So for a sender channel, you need to use the POP server details not SMTP.

Sender Mail Adapter - forcing content as an attachement

Hi all,
We are using the Sender Mail Adapter to pull emails from the inboxes of some users of an exchange server. We use the Mail Package option.
We have noticed that the content of the emails are by-default added as attachments when there are no real attachments to the emails. However the content is not added as an attachment when one or more attachments are present in these emails.
Is there a way of forcing the Sender Mail Adapter to always add the content as an attachment and keeping the other attachments as well? and of course maintain the Mail Package message type as the main payload...?
Many thanks,
Aldo

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear that I am wrong again )
In your opinion is it possible to force the Outlook Exchange server to add the content attachment every time? I mean by doing some configuration on it...?
The reason why we would like to do this is because when - in the content tag of a Mail Package message - we have MIME message parts that are of content-type text/html we are having problems in decoding the html back to a readable format.
To do this we use the apache QuotedPrintableCodec Java class.
This works fine when the content type of the message is just text/plain but we get an exception when we try with text/html.
The exception we get is:
org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException: Invalid URL encoding: not a valid digit (radix 16): 13
I don't know if this is because of the two character sets we have in the payload (utf-8 and iso-8859-1) or if it is for other reasons...
If you could help me figure out how to forward any HTML email to another system in a readable format it would be great.
Thanks for your support,
Aldo

Sender Mail adapter encounters MalformedInputException

I have a sender mail adapter that processes the attached .csv file. All is working fine. I use FCC in module to convert the attachment and pass to an IDOC adapter for processing in SAP system.
My problem is sometimes the sender mail CC fails with ...........
exception caught during processing mail message[1]; com.sap.aii.af.mp.module.ModuleException: Transform: failed to execute the transformation: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException caused by: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException
It only fails with some files. At the moment when we test we FORWARD the email to our email account. If I detach the failed email attachment and attach it to a NEW email it will then work.
So why does it not work when forwarding emails? But it works when I attach the same file to a new email and send?
Other threads for this error seem to point to encoding. But how do I know which to use. I currently use the following in my module config:
Transfer.ContentType     application/octet-stream;charset="ISO-8859-1"

I have this in my configuration:
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean   on local
TRANSFORM
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean   on local

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using Transform.class ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

Sender Mail Adapter, technical Acknowledgement

Hi all,
I have a SMTP --> XI --> Proxy Scenario. For the inbound message I get via SMTP, I'd like to send a technical acknowledgement back to the Sender (via SMTP, too). The acknowledgement has a specific message structure, for example it contains the DocumentID of the inbound message I get via SMTP.
My idea now is: Within ReceiverDetermination, I configure two receivers:
1. Backend system for the Inbound Proxy
2. original Sender System
Within Interface Determination, I'll do 2 mappings:
1. Mapping from source message to ABAP proxy interface
2. Mapping from source message to technical acknowledgement structure
Then, receiver agreements / receiver communication channels for both interfaces.
My question now is: is there a more elegant solution then doing the scenario like described above? Maybe something I can do in the Sender Mail Adapter to create the specific technical acknowledgement and sent it back to the sending application?
Best regards
Holger

Hi Holger !
XI supported acks are not available for your scenariom because the smtp/mail sender cannot request it.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/frameset.htm
You should create some kind of artificial ack, that should be part of your own protocol. What I meant with the SYNC proxy, is to use its response message as your own defined ack, because it is not supported as is.
If you call your proxy async, then you will not receive any feedback to use it as ack info.
Another idea could be to forget the ack per se, and just use define an alert in case of problems with the scenario to send a mail to the specified users.

Matias

Sender Mail adapter configuration with attachment

Hi,
I read the below blog regarding the mail adapter
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
I have the same requirement but the attachment file is not an XML, it is CSV file so in the module tab if I change like below is it enough?
TRANSFORM swap.keyValue attachment; filename=u201DMailAttachment-1.csvu201D (I think MailAttachment-1 is the file name, am I correct?)
If I change like above is it ok? or any other thing is required, Could you please give me the inputs
Thanks
Ramesh

I have the same requirement but the attachment file is not an XML, it is CSV file so in the module tab if I change like below is
it enough?
PayloadSwapBean will ensure that the input to the mapping is from the attachment.....in the blog the attachment is in XML format and hence there was no need for any conversion.....yours is however a CSV file so you need to convert it to XML first and then do the further processing.....you can either use the MessageTransformationBean as shown in this blog:
/people/gabrielsagayaselvam.panneerselvam/blog/2009/08/31/solve-key-field-problem-using-structplain2xml-in-messagetransformationbean
Or write your own module code for the conversion.

Abhishek.

Sender Mail Adapter with PayloadSwapBean

Hello Experts!
I have a Sender Mail Adapter receiving emails with attachments! I'm using PayloadSwapBean, because I have to manipulate (to do mapping) the XML attachment.
Sender Mail Adapter Configuration:
Default Interface Namespace = urn:mynamespace.com
Default Interface Name = abs_async_myInterface
swap.keyName = Content-Disposition
swap.keyName = Content-Description
swap.keyValue = attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
swap.keyValue = MailAttachment-1
Well, my problems are:
1) Although my Default Interface Namespace is urn:mynamespace.com, sometimes the namespace that cames to SXMB_MONI is http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail. In that case, an Receiver Determination error happens.
2) My XML can be the first (MailAttachment-1), the second (MailAttachment-2), the third (MailAttachment-3), or any other attachment position. Since my swap.keyValue is set to "MailAttachment-1", I'm able to pick the XML only if it is the first attachment.

Hi Julio,
Writing an Adapter Module for the same can make your task easy.

Sender Mail Adapter - default interface name

Hi,
I need to receive through one e-mail sender channel tree different kind of messages.
In sender mail adapter I specify ecept other parameters "Default Interface Name". When I send a message with a same as defined in an interface the message is processed correctly.
But when I send a different kind of message then I get an error : "Receiver could not be determined".
Is any way around how through one sender e-mail adapter receive a different kinds of messages ?
Thanks for any help,
Marian

Hello Marzian,
have you find a solution for this problem?
We're facing the same issue.

Sender Mail Adapter - java.lang.NullPointerException in CC monitoring

hi,
I configured my Sender Mail Adapter correctly.
I have the correct POP URL, authentication. I'm not using PayloadSwapBean right now.
I can't get rid of the exception inside my Channel monitoring.
exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.NullPointerException
does anyone know why?
I've been told the POP account has emails already.
I will try to create an outlook account for this POP e-mail account in the mean time to see the e-mails.
Thank you

thanks aaron.
I don't see the folder ./SYS/../j2ee/...
will it be under another folder? I don't see a trace log folder either.
I think the problem might be in the Module tab.
I tried.
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
/localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
/localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
they all produce the same error. I wonder if these Beans actually exist.
I think we might have to reinstall this Mail Adapter altogether.
Or maybe it's really the connection to the Mail Server. But would it display this kind of message.
This is what I'm looking at.
Also, i had to use this URL
pop://server:995/
(995 is using SSL and it is the default port). When I use this, I see the Java Null Pointer Exception a lot less frequently. Weird.
