ATTACHMENT IN "MIME"

Received an attachment in .MIME and when I attempted to download it I received an error message that I did not have the right application.
What do I need to open a MIME attachment?
Thanks for your assistance.
Ian

Hi Ian,
.MIME is a standard format for sending a file over email. It stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extentions. Here are some webistes that might help you understand alittle more about .MIME:

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your Blog.
The same java mapping is been used in my current system, but the legacy system cannot read
some emails as they are asking us to send the email in MIME format.
Already i am sending in MIME format itself.
They can read some Emails and they cannot ream some Emails.
I think the problem could be their exchange server.
Can you please suggest on this.

Mail - Email recieved with Attachment always MIME

Hello,
I sent an email with an attachment; it was a .html file, to my iMac Mail program. I am receiving it as a MIME attachment. In fact it does this with other files I have sent with different extensions. I am expecting the attachement to be simply whatever it is I am sending. What am I encountering and how can I fix this.
Thanks

Nearly all attachments are a MIME type file, but that is not mentioned when Mail can determine what type of file it is, most often identified by the extension. Calling it simply a MIME attachment means there may be some confusion as to what file format it is actually in.
With the message open, click on View and place the cursor on Message and choose Raw Source. Is there a header for the attachment that states what type file it is?

IPAD 2 attachment problem (mime) -exchange 2003

I 'm using exchange 2003 server with activesync support. The majority of the attachments sent to ipad
are not showing pdf, xls etc (I get only the mime icon). I tried using different mail format as suggested by apple html, rtf, plain still not working
Could you please advise if possible?
Kind regards
George

Before I realized it was working fine through 3G I completely re-setup my exchange email just in case. No luck there. Everything else (including laptops) are connecting to exchange via WiFi with no problem so I'm pretty confident the network itself is not the issue and am also confident that the iPad/iPhone exchange setup is correct. Obviously since it works 3G it must be right.

XML file with an attached MIME encoded ZIP file

Hi all,
I'm new to SAP WAS and MIME encoding/decoding, and I'm trying to generate an XML file with an attachment which is also MIME encoded.
1) I have dummy files (1.jpg, 2.jpg) and I'm trying to zip these files into one zip file (files.zip).
2) I'm trying to MIME encode/decode this zip file.
3) I'm trying to attach this MIME encoded zip file to existing XML file.
Which FMs could I use to accomplish this? Your help is very appreciated.
Thank you.
below is a file example that I'm trying to generate.
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
 boundary="--XXXXboundary text"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--XXXXboundary text
Content-Type: text/xml;
 charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<abc/>
<def/>
--XXXXboundary text

Just create an applet (extend JApplet)... add a JTextArea to it....fill the text area with the text from an XML doc.
To get the text of the XML doc just do something like..
File xmlFile = new File("<path to xml file>");
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(xmlFile);
byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) xmlFile.length()];
fis.read(bytes);
fis.close();
String xmlText = new String(xmlBytes);
textArea.setText(xmlText);
...try something like that (assuming..i understand what it is u want)

Axis SOAP Adapter - Setting MIME headers for attachements (Handlers?)

Hello,
I need to know if/how it is possible to set the individual MIME headers of the parts making up a multipart/related SOAP message using only standard Axis Handlers e.g. "com.sap.aii.axis.xi.XI30DynamicConfigurationHandler" (as described in the Axis FAQ in Note 1039369).
I know I can insert transport headers using "com.sap.aii.axis.xi.XI30DynamicConfigurationHandler", but I can't see a way of setting a MIME header for, say, the first part (i.e. the SOAP part) or the second part (e.g. an attachement). Is this possible without writing your own Axis handler? The Axis FAQ, in "Advanced usage question 31" implies that you can set MIME Headers but only shows an example of setting the transport header.
I am using the SOAP Adapter to send a message comprising and XML message (in the SOAP body) and a PDF document (as an attachement). The external company this is being sent to requires that we have specific values for the "Content-Id" MIME header in each part of the multipart/related document. This is why I need to understand if we can do this without writing our own Axis Handler.
Incidentally, I have tried to write a custom Axis Handler but couldn't get PI to find it after deployment. I did this by inserting my JAR file in the "com.sap.aii.adapter.lib.sda" (as per Notes 1039369 / 1138877) and then using JSPM. After deployment, though, when I tried to start the SOAP Adapter I got the following error in the RWB: "failed to initialize: org.apache.axis.ConfigurationException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.hp.gerryaxis.GerryAxis..." (my class was called "GerryAxis" and I placed this in package "com.hp.gerryaxis"). I'm not an experienced Java programmer (my background is in ABAP), so if anyone can suggest whey I'm getting this error, I'd be very grateful (for example, could my choice of package be causing the problem?).
Thanks for your help.

I went ahead and wrote a simple bespoke Axis Handler. By invoking this from the standard "HandlerBean" in the module processor of my communication channel, I was able to overwrite and set new MIME headers in the Attachment Parts of my SOAP Message. I was also able to change the contents of the SOAP Envelope; for example, I found I could easily delete the SOAP Header. However, I've encountered a problem when I try and update the MIME headers of the SOAP Part i.e. the Part of the multipart/related message containing the SOAP Envelope.
Does anyone know why I can't seem to change the MIME headers of the SOAP Part?
The Axis API calls I used were as follows:
(1) To update the MIME headers of attachements in my SOAP message:
(a) Message = MessageContext.getCurrentMessage()
(b) Iterator = Message.getAttachments()
(c) AttachmentPart = Iterator.getNext()
(d) AttachmentPart.setMimeHeader(name, value)
This works.
(2) To update the MIME headers of the SOAP (root) Part:
(a) Message = MessageContext.getCurrentMessage()
(b) SOAPPart = Message.getSOAPPart()
(c) SOAPPart.setMimeHeader(name, value)
This DOESN'Twork - the MIME headers of the SOAP Part never change.
(3) To update the SOAP Envelope (delete the SOAP Header):
(a) Message = MessageContext.getCurrentMessage()
(b) SOAPPart = Message.getSOAPPart()
(c) SOAPEnvelope = SOAPPart.getEnvelope()
(d) SOAPHeader = SOAPEnvelope.getHeader()
(e) SOAPHeader.removeContents()
This works.
I just don't understand why the call to SOAPPart.setMimeHeader() doens't work when I try and insert new MIME headers to the SOAP Part (e.g. "Content-Name") or when I try and change existing MIME headers there (e.g. "Content-ID"). I don't get any errors.
The code of my handler is:
@(#)GerryAxis.java
Set MIME headers in the SOAP and specified attachment part of a message
package com.hp.handlers;
import org.apache.axis.handlers.BasicHandler;
import org.apache.axis.AxisFault;

Mime attachments from email not opening in PDF only on iPhone 5 ok not on iPad Air

anyone know why when sending email from outlook the iPhone 5 s seems to open attachment as mime and the PDF but the iPad Air doesn't open with PDF

Would you describe your problem in more detail? What is the mail app you use on your iPad Air? Apple Mail (the default mail app for iOS)?
"the iPad Air doesn't open with PDF"
When does it fail to open on your iPad Air? Do you see the PDF attachment icon in an email message in your mail app? What happens when you try to long press (press & hold) on the icon? Can you actually select "Open in Adobe Reader"?
Unless Adobe Reader is the one showing an error message (e.g. "invalid PDF") when you try to open a PDF attachment, it sounds like Adobe Reader (app) is not directly involved.
Could you also try to open an email with a PDF attachment in other iOS apps like Outlook Web Access (OWA), Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc.?

Found MIME bug causes

Dear all,
I having been using Thunderbird before and recently Apple Mail 3 get my attention. However I find alot of my China staff's email's attachment become MIME attachment. No matter how they attach it. I try different extension like: Rar, zip, doc, jpg, png, mov and more... all of them become a MIME attachment.
However all staffs from US have no problem... then I find the problem.
With the same attachment, if the attachment is name in ENGLISH... nothing happens, if the attachment is Chinese named... then it becomes a MIME attachment.
Is this a known issue and is fixed or going to be fix? Or actually there is some configuring issue i miss out.
Regards,
Jeff

I also get a lot of attachment as "mime" attachments. I am using a fully updated Leopard.
Upon inspecting the file name of the most recent mime attachment in gmail (online), I found it does include a portuguese caracter (ã), so maybe your onto something! I'll send apple a report of the issue.
I don't have CS or Acrobat, so i believe this is a problem with Mail itself.
Best regards.

Photos as MIME files

My good friend has a blackberry. When he send me photos, the attachment says "MIME file" and I cannot open it. Any cure for this?

All email attachments are encoded while the message is sent and MIME is used for the attachment encoding and decoding when the recieved message is opened. When "MIME file" is shown instead of the attached file, this means the attached file is not recognized or supported.
Were the photos being sent captured by the Blackberry? Do you know the file type for the attached files?
These are the email attachment file types the iPhone supports.
Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)

Problems with custom MIME export

Is there any way to find out a message's MIME ID? Or an attachment's MIME
ContentType (ex: application/msword)?
I can't find anything in the C3PO or GW Object APIs regarding either.
Basically, I'm trying to create a C3PO on the Mail toolbar that exports
the mail message (w/ all attachments) to MIME format in a predefined (IE:
coded) location.

Note in SOAP, you don't get MIME either (unless it's the mime.822
attachment), although this will change in GW 7 SP3.
But you can walk the message schema, and you do have access to
content-type and message-id.

WSRP File Upload with Struts

Hello there
I've been trying to integrate with WSRP a Struts 1.1 web app which provides a simple File Upload functionality.
It works fine as a standalone web application (direct access to the web app).
But I can't get it to work through WSRP from BEA Weblogic Portal 8.1SP4 to BEA Weblogic Server 8.1SP4.
I followed all the steps indicated at http://e-docs.bea.com/wlp/docs81/wsrp/workprod.html#1010271.
Plus I set up the wsrp-producer-config.xml file to handle attachments as follows:
<markup secure="false" rewrite-urls="true" transport="attachment" accepts-mime="true"/>
The start page of the portlet displays fine on the Consumer side.
But upon file upload it never reaches the actual Struts Action on the Producer side.
No error is displayed either on the Consumer or on the Producer side but the file does not get uploaded.
Any idea why ?
Am I missing anything in the configuration ?
Thanks
Patrick

GWIA Relay Issue, maybe the SPAMmers authenticated...

So I was greeted with a lovely issue this morning that is really driving me nuts. My mail system was relaying messages from [email protected] using a valid user on my system (MFouch). The IP address that was sending the messages appears to be in Lagos, Nigeria (41.203.64.250). I have been combing my GWIA, MTA, and POA logs and I am not seeing any POP/IMAP/SMTP auth from that IP address. The valid local user that was being abused "C/S dos" login was getting logged but from GWIA's internal IP address. I attached a MIME copy of the message.
My GWIA agent is setup to prevent relaying. I do allow relaying from some specifically defined internal addresses. I do allow POP3 in, but only specific users can use IMAP4 (silly Android issue). I require authentication for both POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP. I ran all of the different open relay tests that I am aware of (abuse.net, mxtoolbox.com) as well as tried to relay something via telnetting to my GWIA. I have attached my current GWIA flags as well. I just added /disallowauthrelay for now as a test/precaution.
I found TID 7008712 that confused, upset, and scared me all at the same time (GroupWise Internet Agents are relaying emails when they're not suppose to be relaying.). If what this TID says is correct, how can I continue to use GroupWise?
It looks like I have stopped the trouble for now. I added /disallowauthrelay as per TID7008712 (which will probably upset a few people). I renamed my gwac.db in case there was some corruption in my SMTP access control list. I changed the abused local user's password. I renamed all of my various GWIA directories (000.PRC, DEFER, GWHOLD, GWPROB, RECEIVE, RESULT, SEND, WPCSIN, and WPCSOUT) just to give me some time to clean out all of the deferrals, send items, and to be sure there is not a message queued somewhere. Members of my team are scanning the two machines this user uses as a precaution. I have also explicitly denied 41.203.64.250 access to my network at my perimeter.
Has any of the great minds out there in the Novell Forum Land seen this before or can point out my buffoonery?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Hi.
I'm not quite sure where the uncertainty lies. The user yo uidentified
with the logins from GWIA has been hacked, e.g his password probably was
weak and brute forced, or gained by other means (has this user been in
nigeria recently? ;))
I also don't quite understand the outrage on the TID. It merely explains
what is logical. If someone can authenticate, he can relay. There's
nothing to be overly concerned about, except your password security. You
may want to activate intruder detection... Of course there are other
means to possibly gat to know a users password, but brute force is the
usual way...

Mail sender client with attachments

I am trying to find examples on how to write a mail sender that includes attachments. I already have the mail sender built (basic to, from, subject, data), but I don't know how to implement the attachment part (MIME).
I do not want to use the JavaMail API.

So you're writing an implementation of the mail RFCs from scratch? If so then the RFCs themselves will tell you what to do. Or are you using some other tool to support this work? If so, what?

Interactive Gantt Element & UI feasibility - ABAP Webdynpro

I have a requirement to design a interactive timeline chart in ABAP webdynpro. Infact, the UI should be a replicate of CM33[Capacity Planning Workbench] standard transaction in our SAP. Can you let me know whether its possible to design such a interactive graphical UI in ABAP Webdynpro without using any JAVA coding/controls/plugins???
In my R&D, I have found that instead of using Business Graphics, Gantt UI can be used which will provide more interactive [lot of event handling] options. But it seems Gantt UI has to be used with XML and JNET.I don have any idea on this. I went through some of the documents but im not able to understand. Is it that JNET understanding requires JAVA skills. I dono how to design the frontend with Gantt UI and i could not find any useful documents.
Can you please help me stating whether this Capacity planning [CM33 transaction] can be replicated using only ABAP Webdynpro through Gantt UI element or any other UI without using JAVA coding.?? It will help me alot if you can provide some documents on the same..

You don't need to code any Java to use the Gantt-Plugin (JNET) in Web Dynpro ABAP. Although it is written in Java, you feed the plugin with an XML-file which contains the data in the required format. That format is extremely complex. You find the documentation below.
For learning purposes I recommend the Web Dynpro Applications:
- WDR_TEST_GANTT
- WDR_GANTT_TEST
You have to analyse the XML-files which are attached as MIMEs to the WD components. For your own solution, you will have to transform your data into that xml format, e.g. by a Simple Transformation oder XSLT.
[Documentation Web Dynpro UI Element Gantt|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp2/helpdata/en/68/248841a79f1609e10000000a155106/frameset.htm]
[JNet/JGantt Developer Documentation|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/lw/uuid/f010ec31-9658-2910-3c83-c6e62904eceb&overridelayout=true]
The JNet Documentation contains additional examples, sadly there is none for Gantt. But it shows clearly the power of JNET.
If you get your hands on a PPM 5.0 installation, I highly recommend to analyse the newest cProjects-Gantt-chart which is amazing.
