Proxy to Mail Adapter issue

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement like a control report is comming from SAP through proxy to XI and I need to send that control report as an attachment in excel format from XI to the 3rd party by the mail adapter.Also in the mail body I have to send the information what is there in the excel.
Now as I have not worked before in mail adapter I want to know how can I send the report as an attachment in a mail adapter that too in excel format format and how can I do the mail body?
Thanks and Regards

AFAIK there is no standard solution in PI to convert the xml message sent by proxy as an xls attachmet. You may have to plugin adapter modules to your receiver email com channels to achieve this. first step would be to convert the xml to flat structure using MessageTransformBean, you could then use the payloadswapbean to convert the payload to an attachment and name it with a .csv extension(which can be opened in excel). If you are looking at xls file creation, you could chk the links http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/CODE-CreateanExcelFileviatheJExcel+API , /people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/04/read-excel-instead-of-xml-through-fileadapter

  • 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 ..

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

  • Mail adapter issue with mail attachment

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario mail to file and i have a problem.
    Is it possible, in a sender adapter mail to use the option keep attachment and mail package at the same time ?
    So,is it possible to use the module payloadswapbean and XMLanonymizer in a sender adapter mail in order to suppress a namespace from the attachment in it ?
    Is the option mail package useful if i am using payloadswapbean module ?
    from what i see, It seems that the XMLanonymizer doesn't work for sender mail adapter with attachment. I've tested the configuration on a sender adapter file and works fine.
    Anyone already tested it ?
    Thanks,
    Jean-Philippe

    Hi Stefen,
    Thanks for the answers.
    The question is, whether the payloadswapbean is useful at all in a sender mail scenario.
    I don't understand this one ! Isn't mandatory in sender adapter mail scenario if you want to read your mail attachment ?
    Yes. If you configure the payloadswapbean correct, the XMLanonymizer works on the attachment.
    It is not easy to set the payloadswapbean in a correct way. IPost your parameters here, when it does not work for you.
    Ok. Maybe my configuration is wrong, please tell.
    Processing sequence :
    localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean => 0
    localejbs/AF_Modules/XMLAnonymizerBean => 1
    sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean =>mail
    module configuration :
    swap.keyName =>Content-Disposition
    swap.keyName => Content-Description
    swap.keyValue=>MailAttachment-1
    swap.keyValue=>attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
    anonymizer.acceptNamespaces =>http://namespace ''
    anonymizer.quote => ''
    I am on PI 7.1 version and when i am looking in the monitoring(sxmb_moni), it doesn't seems working.

  • Mail Adapter Issue

    Dear All,
    I am facing a problem in my Scenario . I have configured sender mail adapter and the mail gets picked from the Mail Box.
    But the problem is in the content field i get something like '=20'. I analysed it and checked that whenever a space or a enter key is pressed when writing a mail then in XI it gets converted to =20.
    The problem is when the data goes to target system CRM it goes as =20.
    Can anyone let me know how can we take care of the same.The problem is with the Content field which gives characters =20 .
    Format as below
    <xim:Mail xmlns:xim="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">

  • File name issue in mail adapter attachement.

    HI all,
    i built a scenario proxy to mail in which the data will be sent as attachement to the mail id coming from proxy it self.
    I added the transform bean and xi mail adapter bean correctly..
    The scenario is working fine without errors...
    however the issue is. i have given the file name in for module key :
    Transform =   Transform.ContentDisposition =   attachement;filename="xyz.csv"
    but while testing the attachement is coming as "untitled.txt"
    i need the attachement to be named as "xyz.csv" only.
    where went wrong ...please give ur inputs.
    Thanx.

    Hi Kiran
    Then there is no need to use Transformation bean for this
    In Mapping map the mail package Content_type field with
    text/plain;name="xyz.csv"
    and select mail package and keep attachments in receiver mail adapter
    This will work
    Thanks

  • Proxy for Sender Mail Adapter

    Hi All,
    I wanted to know if it is possible to specify/configure a proxy server for a sender mail adapter communication channel (similar to SOAP adapter)?
    Thanks,
    Sumant.

    specify/configure a proxy server
    It should not be mandatory to use the proxy server. That usually depends upon the landscape.
    Do I need to deploy any certificates on the XI server?
    Again, this is not mandatory. Only if you need to configure S/MIME based communication, you need to enter certificate entries in keystore.

    Prateek

  • Receive CSV attachment via Mail Adapter and process into ABAP proxy

    Hi,
    I have the following scenario:
    1. Receive e-mail with CSV attachment
    2. Process through Mail adapter (KeepAttachments = Yes in order to retain the CSV attachment)
    3. Receive into ABAP proxy (with CSV attachment)
    The next step is to read the attachment in the ABAP proxy and process the CSV attachment data into CRM.
    The CSV attachment contains the data I wish to process - the body of the e-mail will not contain this information.
    The problem I have is reading the attachment data in the proxy - not sure of the methods/class to call - anyone got any ideas ?
    Another question is this the best way to do this and process the CSV attachment data ?
    I know I could use the PayloadSwapBean to switch the payload to the attachment but then I am stumped with how the attachment is processed through PI 7.1 - how do you transform the CSV format payload into XML so PI will be able to process it through mapping.
    Either option is viable - an answer to either question would be great.
    1. How do you read the attachment data in an inbound ABAP proxy ?
    2. How do you transform the CSV attachment data after the PayloadSwapBean from CSV to XML ?
    Kind regards
    Colin.

    Hi Colin
    As you are not interested in processing the body of email. Swap the payload to the attachment using the PayloadSwapBean
    Change the content from CSV to XML using MessageTransformBean. Now pass this information to Proxy. You dont need to deal with attachments in proxy.
    It is not possible to read attachment in server proxy because the class and interface you create will not have data type which can refer to an attachment processing interface in ABAP.
    Thanks

  • Mail adapter = XI = CRM (using Proxy)

    Hi All,
    I have to pull several mailboxes using a sender mail adapter. The mails are automatically generated, containing:
    mailfrom, mailto, subject, body and 1 attachment.
    I need to save the data (mailfrom,mailto,subject,body,filename) into a table in SAP-CRM and I need to store the file on the application server.
    I can successfully map the mailinfo (mailfrom,mailto,subject,body) using the ximail_30.xsd; the problem comes with the attachment.
    When the message comes in I got 2 payloads (MailMessage en MailAttachment-1 (base64))
    My question now is, how do I have access (in XI or a step further in the Proxy) to the Attachment (filename and content) so I can map it to a structure (XI) or save it within the Proxy, without converting it in XI.
    thanks in advance,
    Andre.

    Michal,
    Thanks for your response.
    I saw your weblog, but I wonder, if I swap the payload, I'll be missing the rest of the mail (like mailfrom, mailto, subject and content) ?
    I just can't believe that I can't access the 2nd payload in the message...
    thanks again and regards,
    Andre.

  • Conversion Agent - Mail Adapter integration issue

    Could someone please provide some help with pinpointing the issue over here.
    Michael, are you there??
    Thanks & Regards,
    Shobhit

    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>

  • Proxy  (XI) Adapater vs Mail adapter

    Hello All
    Is it possible to configure an XI sender communication channel with a Receiver mail adapter communication channel.
    I have read the blogs and the forums regarding mail and proxy adapter ?
    Have someone performed this scenario yet ?
    Please let me know and send me specific details regarding it .

    This is what I want :
    The secario will use xi adapter and mail adapter.
    The xi adapter will be the sender and the mail adapter will be the receiver.
    With my abap proxy I will read the information of two fields and I will send this
    this information by mail to the mail adapter.
    Many thanks
