StringIndexOutOfBoundsException from Mail Adapter

Hi,
We have configured a sender communication channel for the mail adapter, but when we receive an email we get the following error message:
error occured: exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
Our configuration is the following:
Transport Protocol: IMAP4
Message protocol: (tried both)
URL: imap://exchangeServerHost
The emails we tested with are plain/text emails. We tried both with an XML document as the main body of the email and with the XML document as an attachment, but the error remains the same.
If anyone has some ideas on how to resolve or troubleshoot this it would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Erik.

Thanks Ranjit...I fixed the error. It was the URL I was missing the inbox from the URL.

We have a requirement to read multiple attachment from mail adapter. PayloadSwapBean is capable of reading only single attachment. We would like to see the code of PayloadSwapBean and modify accordingly to meet the requirement.
If there is any alternative could please suggest the solution for read the multiple attachments in sender mail adapter.

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

Read date from an email using sender mail adapter.

Hi All,
I am working on a scenario, which reads emails from mail box using POP3 protocol and Mail adapter. How to get the mail attributes like received date? I have to take some decisions based on that field.
Also can we tell to move that mail to different folder in that mail box after successfully read? it is like archiving folder in that mail box.
Regards,
Hari

Hi Hari,
You use IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol) to retrieve e-mails from a folder of an e-mail server.
You use POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) to retrieve e-mails from an e-mail server.
AFAIK, you have to use IMAP4 protocol for moving email to another folder are reading email successfully. And i don't think POP3 will allow this functionality.
Regarding email date , If you maintain Message protocol as XIPAYLOAD you will receive all header details(Subject , TO ,FROM ,CC,DATE ,etc ) in your payload.
Thanks
Hari.

SEnde Mail adapter problem from txt to xml

Hi All
I have the following scenario - Mail->XI->RFC.
My interface keep crashing because of mapping errors. The attachment I am receiving from 3rd party like follow:

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.

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.

Trevor

Error while using mail adapter

Dear All,
We have recently transported a scenario from XI 3.0 to PI 7.1.
In this scenario a BPM is configured which on getting any error triggers an alert mail (Mail adapter configured).
Now while testing in PI 7.1, mail message is getting generated but mail are not received and following error is coming:
"Delivering the message to the application using connection Mail_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.aii.af.sdk.xi.srt.BubbleException: Failed to call the endpoint [null "null"]; nested exception caused by: java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0"
If anybody has faced this type of error kindly guide me in resolving this error.

Failed to call the endpoint
Check if you have given the correct details of the mail-server in your receiver mail CC.....also confirm that the mail server is up and running....

Filename in sender Mail Adapter

Hi Experts,
Brief about Scenario:
Invoice generated with PDF format in R/3 system and send to mail box. XI pick that file from mail box and deposited in SFTP Server.
Landscape in XI end.
Mailbox - - - XI 7.0 - - - SFTP
The file name generated with CompanyCode_InvoiceType_InvoiceNumber.PDF from R/3 system. So that Same file name should be deposited in SFTP Server . Here CompanyCode and InvoiceType are static and invoiceNumber generated dynamically with PDF format.
My question is How to get file name from mail box.
Thanks in advance.

Hups. I forgot what was your main problem
To get attachment file name you can try to implement you own adapter module as described [here|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Adapter%20Module%20PI%207.0%20Get%20Attachment%20Name?bc=true]:
I found it in this [thread|Need to get the Mail attachment name as it is to the receiver file adapter;.
Please check that thread. The question is "not answered" but the last post states it was solved that way.

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.
