Attachments for mail adapter?

Hello everybody,
I've seen that XI 3.0 provides a file adapter. Has anyone experiences with this adapter? I'm looking for information if it's possible to send and receive the XML message content as attachment.
Thanks in advance
Björn

Hi Mohit,
Follow this blog for the ID configuration:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4383
Create Receiver Determination and Interface Determination as described, and add a sender file CC and receiver mail CC according to your needs, plus sender and receiver agreements.
In order to maintain the original file names, use a simple adapter module with the code mentioned here:

Hope this helps,

Query related to multiple attachments in mail adapter

Hi,
I have a query related to multiple attachments in receiver mail adapter.
I have successfully configured mail related scenarios but now I have another requirement in which I have multiple source files in one directory and I want to send one mail for multiple files as mail attachment using receiver mail adapter. Can anybody help me how to achieve multiple attachments in reciever mail adapter.
To clarify the requirement more let us take an example
Ex: I have 5 input files in the source which I pick up using additional files option in the sender file adapter, now I want to send those 5 files into one mail with 5 attachments. Can anybody explain how 5 different payload will be sent as multiple attachments in one mail.
For your information I used, options like "keep attachments" , some parameters in module processesors etcs...but not able to find out as how exactly it will be achieved.......I dont want to use BPM collect pattern for this.....
Need your help on this issue. Please suggest the solution as how it can be achieved using receiver mail adapter.

Could you please provide the location of PayloadSwapBean file (.Ear,.jar,.class and also provide AL11) Transaction in PI 7.31.
Brief Background:
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.

Modules for mail adapter

I want to remove attachments from the emails i send out of PI,
is there any modules for this purpose?
by default if i chck: msg protocol as XIALL i get entire messge as an attachment, even if i select XIPAYLOAD i get the payload as an attachment,
i only want to have the body and not the attachment.
Is there any adapter module readily available to remove attachments from emails?

i only want to have the body and not the attachment.
Choose these in your Receiver Mail Adapter:
Message Protocol :XIPAYLOAD
Check Use Mail Package
enter the appropriate URL
No need to check other options...
Using this you cannot enter From, To, Subject and other such fields in the channel....these should be configured in the mapping.....unless it is Parameterized mapping (applicable only to SAP PI7.1)

Abhishek.

Infrastructure required for Mail Adapter

Hi Experts,
I need to work on a Mail Adapter B2C scenario where XI sends emails to the client with XML file as attachements.
Questions:
1. What is the additional hardware infrastructure required to use the Mail adapter apart from the SAP XI server.
2. How can the mails be archived somewhere, in case I do not want to store them in my inbox-->sent items folder.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Shobhit

as for my knowledge is concerned...
there are no more requirements ...
but check the firewall issue.....and know what is the version and service pack u are using...
and check wether u require sender,receiver addresses and subject required in the mail...if go with mail package check box in the mail adapter..
check wether mails are to be sent to two or more receivers...if semicolon( will do to separate them.
and check wether SLD is done proper or not bcoz,even i was right in my scenario and there was an issues in SLD and i traced it after few days...where i delayed my work..
hmm.....if any i will get back to u shobit....

XSLT Mapping with Dynamic Configuration for Mail Adapter

Hi Guys,
I am wondering if somebody can help me please.
I have a requirement in which I need to pick up the file from FTP and email it to the user as an attachment with the same file name and content.
I know it is possible via 3 method either by deploying adapter module or via XSLT or JAVA Mapping.
I preferred XSLT Mapping because it is easier to use and we don't need to compile the code like JAVA Mapping.
I have done the XSLT Mapping but the only problem I am facing is that how to copy the file name which we get it from Dynamic Configuration to the Mail ContentDisposition.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:map="java:java.util.Map"
xmlns:dyn="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfiguration"
xmlns:key="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfigurationKey">
<xsl:output indent="no" />
<xsl:param name="inputparam"/>
<xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf"
        select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key"
        select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File', 'FileName')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-value"
        select="dyn:get($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key)" />
    <xsl:variable name="dummy"
        select="dyn:put($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key, $new-value)" />
    
I tried many option but unfortunately none of them worked.
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$inputparam"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-conf"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-key"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-value"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dummy"</Content_Disposition>
         <Content_Disposition>
            attachment;filename=
            <xsl:value-of select="dynamic-key"/>
         </Content_Disposition>
I really appreciate if someone can please provide some guidance.
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes u r correct it will show error in operation mapping.. bcoz u cannot check the DynamicConfiguration in Operation mapping...
It will throw Exception..
The parameter to UDF depends on ur requirement.... Let us know ur requirements exactly...
If u r doing for file to file means no UDF required,, just check ASMA on both sides....

How to remove a Attachment in Module for Mail Adapter

Hi together,
we are trying to remove a Mail Attachment within a outgoing Mail with the help of a new Module executed by the Mailadapter. Since we are using the XI 3.0, we are trying to do that by this statements:
      Message msg = (Message)inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
      Iterator it = msg.getAttachmentIterator();
      Payload payload;
      do
            payload = (Payload)it.next();
            if(payload.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("MailMessage"))
                  it.remove();
      }while(it.hasNext()); ...
The statement "it.remove" doesn't work.
Does anyone have an idea, how we can remove the attachment?
Thanks & Regards
    Thomas

I am sorry, the adapter module API does not support the removal of an attachment.
Regards
Stefan

Thx

1. There is nothing to be done on IR side.
Correct
2. In ID, I have to configure a sender mail adpater with correct email address and dummy Interface and namespace. Please do let me know if i have to use payloadswapbean and messagetransformation bean in the module configuration.
Use only payloadSwapBean
3. Also, have to configure a reciever file adpater. Can I use FTP or I have to use NFS only ?
U may use any of them.
4. Complete the rest of the steps in ID like RD,ID,SA,and RA.
Correct
Please confirm if the mail attachement will remain in txt format only and hope it works .
Actually that is the logical solution. I couldnt get time to check it on my own server. So we shud try n hope for the best.

Prateek

Sender mail adapter : no messages and no error log

Hello,
I have configured a sender mail adapter to read mails from the inbox. I have used IMAP protocol. URL is specified as imap://EMHBSEXM01/Inbox. User name and password is also specified properly. I have kept poll interval to 1 minute. Messages in the inbox are in unread status. But the mail is not getting processed. I do not see anything after 1 minute. I tried using generate fetch report flag. But even then it does not create any message in SXMB_MONI. I checked runtime workbench for Mail adapter but I do not see any message for the same. Is there something that I am missing?
Thanks,
Dev

Hi All,
I chekced your responses and tried accordingly. Our basis team has given me new link now and the error message has changed. I am getting following error message.
exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: unexpected login response; read 001F BAD Command received in Invalid state.
Does anyone have any idea what this error is?
Thanks in advance,

Xi 3.0: Mail adapter fails with "exception in method process"

Hi.
I configured the dynamic address for mail adapter following the fantastic-as-always weblog from michalgh.
Althou everything seems to work fine (that is, i send correctly the email message) the A.F. returns an error with "exception in method process".
I tried both async and sync case with the same result. In the sync case, the response contains:

<SAP:Error xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP:mustUnderstand="1">
<SAP:Category>XIAdapterFramework</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="PARSING">GENERAL</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1 />
<SAP:P2 />
<SAP:P3 />
<SAP:P4 />
<SAP:AdditionalText>com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: Exception in method process.</SAP:AdditionalText>
<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />
<SAP:Stack />
<SAP:Retry>M</SAP:Retry>
</SAP:Error>
Any idea???

Yes. There is also a response message in the imported structure.. it seems it should work as a kind of application ack with some info on the server that processed the mail.
Anyway, in my server i get a 404 for the link you suggested.
In the async case i don't get any error on the SXMB_MONI but only on the A.F.
I attach the audit log for the async case:

Dynamic Mail Adapter Config

Hi All,
We're trying to use a dynamic mail direction in the mail adapter checking the Mail Package option as it's mentioned in: /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address (excellent blog).
But we have a mapping error in the SXMB_MONI:
RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation: Cannot produce target element /ns0:Messages
In the mapping we have one source message with the content of the mail and the direction, and two different structures for target. One with the mail package structure and the other with the target content.
Do you have any idea why we're having this mapping error?
Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to use the dynamic adress for mail adapter. So I've created an external object from the file mentioned in https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1361. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
Then I've done a multimapping, first message with the mail payload and the second with the contents of the mail.
In configuration, I've checked the Mail Package option and execute the interface.
Sender adapter and mapping was right, but there is an error in the mail adapter as follows:
error occured: [2006-05-29T14:38:31Z] unable to call the mailer; com.sap.aii.messaging.srt.BubbleException: Failed to call the endpoint [null "null"]; nested exception caused by: com.sap.aii.messaging.util.XMLScanException: expecting start tag: Mail, but found MM57_V01_COM_MONTH_MAIL_FILE at state 1
Any idea about this?
Thanks in advance!!!!

Mail adapter scenario

Hi
I require some input on including a mail adapter to an existing scenario
The scenarios is as follows,
I have to create some files around 20 and place them in two folders , that build has been done and tested , so I have a multi mapping , for those 20 files , and enhanced interface determination and is working fine
Now a new requirement is to send an email ,
kindly tell me the steps in IR and ID to include the mail adapter in this interface ??
considering it as an additional feature, nthing to do with Files ,,,
which means that an email adapter has to be called with the file adapters ( not before not after....the precedence doesnt matter )
its just that along with creating the files an email has to be sent ... thats all
I want to know what am i required to create :
in IR : is there a separate interface required .. smthing to do in mapping also ? i am presuming not since it is inbound
in ID : can i create a dummy busines service and what all do i need to create ???
please help
thanks
Dev

Hi,
You create a message type for mail adapter and an message interface. You can also use the predefined message type from sap. So now in multimapping you add this message type and map from your source to this mail mapping. Add the same message interface in interface mapping.
Create a mail receiver communicaiton channel with your mailbox parameters. Then add this to your receiver determination. Also you need to create a receiver agreement for this one.
You can see some help here:
/people/prasad.ulagappan2/blog/2005/06/07/mail-adapter-scenarios-150-sap-exchange-infrastructure
You can do a search for more blogs and tutorials on mail adapter.
