Reading an PDF Attachment From Sender Mail Adapter

Hi All,
i am able to get a mail from my Mail Server, But my aim is need to Read an PDF attachment from the mail, in SXMB Moni i am getting the Payload with attachment, I have a created a module to convert that PDF to XML(Module is working fine in file to file sceneraio) .
In adapter should i need to use Payload Swap Bean Module also , because in sap help said that i need Select Keep Attachments. I want to know how that how to Push the PDF attachment to My Custom Module which is used to convert the PDF To XML.
If Payload Swap Bean Module needs to be Used , please tell me the Key Names and Key Values to be used.(swap.keyName,swap.keyValues)
Thanks and Regards,
Kamal
Note: Points will be awarded

See if this helps
[Module Name]
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
[Module Parameters]
The following parameters are used for this module
swap.keyName          the name of a supported attribute.
swap.keyValue         the value of a partial string that is required
                        to appear.

How to download / read text attachment in Sender Mail Adapter IN XI

Hi
I would like to know how to download / read text attachment in sender mail Adapter & sent same attachment to target system using file adapter.
Please help how to design / resolve this concept.
Regards
DSR

I would like to know how to download / read text attachment in sender mail Adapter & sent same
attachment to target system using file adapter.
Take help from this blog:
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
From the blog:
However in most cases
our message will not be a part of the e-mail's payload but will be sent as a file attachment.
Can XI's mail adapter handle such scenarios? Sure it can but with a little help
from the PayloadSwapBean adapter module
Once your message (attachment) is read by the sender CC, you can perform the basic mapping requirement (if any) to convert the mail message fromat to the file format.....configure a receiver FILE CC and send the message...this should be the design...

Using header paramter SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH in Sender mail adapter

I am trying to check if an e-mail contains attachment in reciever determintion
I set the Variable Header XHeaderName1 to be SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH
in Sender mail adapter
I added a condition in the receving determintation
XHeaderName1 = yes
I see the DynamicConfiguration tab in sxmb_moni and the value of SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH is "yes"
but the message fails with the error
No receiver could be determined
any ideas?

Hi,
In Receiver determination you need to set SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH = yes instead of XHeaderName1.
As far my understanding, in receiver determination you need to verify the condition with SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH = yes (check with syntax also ie. case sensitive and all)
Thanks

Read multi-tabbed excel file attachments from Sender Mail Adapter.

There is a need to read excel attachments from incoming email to a
mailbox. We know we can use Sender Mail adapter to easily read .xml, .txt
or .csv attachments.
For excel attachments we know from SDN that you have to write
adapter modules to handle excel. However the excel file we need to read has
multiple worksheets(tabs) and data may be contained in any of them.
Is it possible to use SAP XI Mailsender adapter to read such a file as an attachment? What kind of module development would we need for this? I am not much of a Java programmer so examples or links to other documentation would help.
Thanks,
Rudra

Rudra,
Use Java Mapping. There is a free java api available called JExcelAPI to achieve this.
Shabarish's blog describes about this. This might be helpful to you

Facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment when sending mail...

hi friends,
i'm facing problem with logo in the PDF attachment to the mail.
my requirement:
1. enter spool number and mail id in the selection screen.
process:
1. now the program will fetch the spool data and converts it to PDF.
2. but when i'm trying to send mail with this PDF as attachment.
when i open the PDF file from the mail, logo is not coming properly (looks disturbed).
can anyone help me how to resolve this issue...
thanks in advance, murashali.

hi dinakar, thanks for your mail...
logo looks good in spool/script/smartform.
even it look good when i download this spool to pdf and to the presentation server as pdf file.
i'm using CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
when i used CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, is gives a msg - 'spool number not found'.
here i'm using folloing code to pass pdf to the function module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
code:
Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings
lt_mtab_pdf[] = pdf[].
LOOP AT lt_mtab_pdf INTO lwa_mtab_pdf.
    TRANSLATE lwa_mtab_pdf USING ' ~'.
    CONCATENATE lv_gd_buffer lwa_mtab_pdf INTO lv_gd_buffer.
    CLEAR lwa_mtab_pdf.
ENDLOOP.
TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ '.
DO.
    lwa_mess_att = lv_gd_buffer.
    APPEND lwa_mess_att TO lt_mess_att.
    CLEAR lwa_mess_att.
    SHIFT lv_gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.
    IF lv_gd_buffer IS INITIAL.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
NOTE: problem i believe is with ''. i'm getting this tilt symbol () in my pdf internal table. here in the above code the line   TRANSLATE lv_gd_buffer USING '~ ' is changing the existing tilt to space. so my logo is getting disturbed.
even i tried with REPLACE this tilt with other char, but it doent work.
can you give any idea...

Dynamic file name of the attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi
I have configured a sender mail adapter which receives some attachments.
Right now the file name of the attachment is hardcoded to "MailAttachment-1" "MailAttachment-2" using the content-description from "AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean" module.
I want to set it to dynamic ie. instead of "MailAttachment-1"... i want it with real name of the attach.
please suggest a solution w/o the need to develop a custom adapter module.
Thanks!
Regards,
Mariano.

Thanks Prateek,
Now, i can see that the name of the original file is into the content type named as text/xml; name"name of the file.xml" when i send the email from outlook.
If i send it from hotmail, this is not happend.
Do you know why happend this?
If i always would have the original name inside the content type, my problem will be solved.

How to retrieve client certificate information from sender mail adapter

Hi, expert:
I have a requirement to verify the validation of coming email with digital certification. The mail is with digital certification. If the coming email is valid, I 'll get the attachemt of the mail for further processing. I have a sender mail adapter and receiver file adapter configued.
I have already my own developed adapter module, which is configued in mail adapter. My question is how to retrieve the detailed certificate information in the adapter module developed by myself. Is it feasible?
Thanks a lot.

The WL-Client-Proxy cert should be the cert used on the proxy side if SSL is configured between Apache and WebLogic, so I believe that is the reason why that does not work. Basically, the problem here is that SSL is end-to-end, and the two ends of this transaction are the client and apache.
That said, when you add the +ExportCertData option, this should record the client's SSL certificate in the vairable SSL_CLIENT_CERT. So you should be able to use request.getAttribute("SSL_CLIENT_CERT").
See:
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_reference.html
If this doesn't work for you (which is possible if the WL_Proxy is doing something funny to the request), it is probably best just to dump out the entire contents of the session, and see what you have:
for (Enumeration e = request.getAttributeNames() ; e.hasMoreElements() ; ) {
String attr = (String)e.nextElement();
System.out.println("ATTR = " + attr);
System.out.println("VAL = " + request.getAttribute(attr));
If you can't see any SSL certificate there, you will have to work out some way to pass this on manually.
cheers,
Trevor

Issue with reading attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi, I am working on Email to file scenario, where I have to connect to exchange server and take the attachment of the email (xml file) and save it on to PI server. I have configured sender mail communication channel with following details:
Protocol: POP3
Message protocol: XIPAYLOAD
Mail attributes: keep attachments
Module:
1     localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean     Local Enterprise Bean     1
2     localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean     Local Enterprise Bean     mail
1     swap.keyName     Content-Description
1     swap.keyName     Content-Description
1     swap.keyValue     attachment,filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
1     swap.keyValue     MailAttachment-1
Also, configured receiver file adapter.
Since I donu2019t have to read mail content , I havenu2019t created any design components in ESR. I have just refrred to dummy namespace, interface (both sender and receiver). in receiver determination, interface determination, sender agreement and receiver agreements.
It was working fine, not sure what changes happened. Now I could see the attachment payload in message monitor.
Under Inbound message->payloads->
MailMessage ( text/xml;charset=utf-8 )
MailAttachment-1 ( text/xml;name="****************")
But the fille that is getting created doesnu2019t have the contents of the attachment (xml file) . It has some other information, shown below:
Directory: ******
Name:       ********.xml
      =NextPart_002_01CB2C5B.B033B325#
content-type:text/plain;charset="us-ascii"#

content-length:#
content-transfer-encoding:quoted-printable#
      =NextPart_002_01CB2C5B.B033B325 #
Can you please let me know what is going wrong here.

Separate valid mail attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi Experts,
I am working on Mail -> RFC scenario in pi 7.3.
Our channel is able to process new mail having valid attachement (i.e. .xml) file.
But sometime attachment contain invalid format also like pdf, or .txt file with valid attachment.
With these types of mail, channel throw error and do not process it. But my requirement is to separate the valid attachment and process it and delete it from mail box.
What our channel is doing is it skips these kind of mails and only change the status from unread to read.
Regards
Jitender

Hi Jean ,
I got the same issue too, the Scenario is MAIL ->FILE . Mail Sender Adapter picks up the 1 PDF attachment and saves in network folder successfully but not multiple attachments of a mail.
These are the setting in Module configuration I made:
1. The IMAPS was used in Mail Sender Adapter : imaps://10.192.101.16:993/Inbox
*IP address of the Mail Server was got from the Admin )
2. Ports : 143, 993 are opened for the Mail Server to access for XI SERver ( Raised an Ticket to open Ports of Mail server :NZTxxx.dknz.nzcorp.net)
3. As the attachment was only in PDF : Added swapbean in Module tab as below :
Process Sequesnce :
-Make sure: AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Modul key : TRANSFORM is added before sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
-And under Module Configuration select : TRANSFORM as Module Key and add >
swap.keyName Content-Disposition
swap.keyName Content-Description
swap.keyValue attachment;filename='MailAttachment-1.pdf"
swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
-IF you get to know how to fetch multiple attachment , Please update.

Multiple attachment in sender mail adapter with PI 7.11

Hello all,
I've got a scenario MAIL -> PI -> MAIL.
In my sender adapter mail, i have two attachment.
From what i've saw on different thread, it wasn't possible to handle this case in standard with PI 7.0.
Is it possible now with PI 7.11 ? Or must i develop a specific module for that ?
Thank you.

Attachment Content When sending PDF attachment in Send Mail Step

Hi all ,
I am sending a PDF document which is on the file system using "send_mil" step . It is not executing the send_mil step with out entering anything in the Attachment Content. If i enter some thing , the Send_mil step is executed but the PDF is not opening in the received mil as it is not Properly decoded.
Regards,
Deepthi lakshmi.A

Hi,
Attachment Content is not Mandatory to enter unless you wish to override the Attachment Property.
Basically we use this content along with Encoded Image Property like chart, spc and image loader action block.
If you are loading file from system using Proper path in Attachment Section then no need to use Attachment Content section.
Ensure that you have set the Attachment Content Type to "application/pdf" to send pdf files and a valid File path in Attachment section.
Hope this helps!!
