Create a PDF as attachment in custom module in mail receiver adapter

I'm trying to create a PDF attachment to an email using a custom module with the following codes. The attachment was created and sent, but when I tried to open it, I got the following error message: the file cannot be read either because a invalid encoding or the file is damaged.
Anybody knew if I did anything wrong in the way I'm opening and creating the PDF attachment below?
// add a new pdf attachment to the message
FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream("c:/ftmailxi.pdf");
byte[] attachmentContent = new byte[fi.available()];
Payload attachmentPDF = msg.createPayload();
attachmentPDF.setName("ftmailxi.pdf");
attachmentPDF.setContentType("application/pdf");
attachmentPDF.setContent(attachmentContent);
//adding our this pdf as an attachment
msg.addAttachment(attachmentPDF);
//provide the XI message for returning
inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);

This will surly help u

This is the scenario of Proxy sender to Mail Receiver. but I don't know how to convert the Internal Table data into Alert mail excel File attachment.
Please suggest me.
Regards,
Jagesh

Hi Santhosh,
Thanks for your suggestion.
But without using XSLT mapping also, I have generated the Excel File attachment.
Throgh R/3 coding I am passing following.
G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-FROM = From Mail Address.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-TO = TO Mail Address.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-SUBJECT = 'Test Alert mail'.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-DATE = SY-DATUM.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT_TYPE =   'text/plain;name="CSV_data.csv"'.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT = 'Testing1,Testing2,Testing3'.
      G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT_DISPOSITION = 'attachment'.
And in the Mail Receiver Adapter i have configured as following.
Use Mail package and Keep Attachment both options are selectd.
So I am getting the data in different columns in the excel file But How to set the Next ROW in Excel file?
I thnk i am missing something in CONTENT value.

HI,
Please read above link for PayloadSwapBean.
You use the PayloadSwapBean module to replace the application payload of the XI message that contains the business data with another payload that is appended to the XI message as an attachment
Also see the links below.. how to use PayloadSwapBean.

Mail Receiver Adapter Attachment Content Encoding

Hello to all,
we use a mail receiver adapter to sent XI messages as email. Everything works fine but the content encoding of the attachment is set to UTF-8. I need ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8. How could I achieve this ?
Thanks Christian

Hello Stefan,
we've tried this too (content type to: text/plain;charset="ISO-8859-1"), but it didn't work.
This is our output structure

What will be input for custom module developed for JDBC adapter

Hi,
I have a scenario SQLDB -> Xi -> R3 .
Here I have added a custom module before callsapadapter module.
As I know the sequence of module calling will be as follows :
1. Standard jdbc adapter
2. custom module
3. callsapadapter
Standard jdbc adapter has a select query . After that what will be the input format for my custom module .Will it be the xml structure of my source Data type or will it be a resultset or will it be a inputstream(stream of xml fomat????).
And then in which format i need to generate the output format for CallSapAdapter.
Regards

Hello Moni,
SAP has a wonderful feature in ABAP. There are some Runtime Errors that you can catch. This is somewhat similar to the Exception Handling procedure in Java / C++. So here's how you go about it....
Sometimes there might some calculations that we do, multiplication , for example, where the result of the arithmetic operation is known only at run-time. And the recepient for this result may not always be of the right type to take the result. Consider the following code:
parameters a type i obligatory.
data : b type i,
 c type i.
b = 99999999.
** Assume that the user has entered 99999999 for the value of the parameter a.
c = a * b. " 99999999 * 99999999 "
write c.
This program will certainly give a short dump saying that there was an arithmetic overflow. But we can actually avoid this Shor Dump and handle the situation quite elegantly. consider the following.
parameters a type i obligatory.
data : b type i,
 c type i.
b = 99999999.
CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS ARITHMETIC_ERRORS = 1.
** Assume that the user has entered 99999999 for the value of the parameter a.
 c = a * b. " 99999999 * 99999999 "
ENDCATCH.
if sy-subrc ne 0.
write: 'There was an arithmetic overflow in the calculation.'
else.
write c.
endif.
This way you can actually avoid the short dump and make the system set a value for sy-subrc. Based on the avlue of the sy-subrc, you can go ahead with further processing / error-handling, as the case may be.
Here, ARITHMETIC_EXCEPTIONS is called an exception group. For more information on what other run-time errors can be caught, and What the various exception groups contain, please refer to the online documentation for the CATCH statement.

Anand Mandalika.

Attachment in Mail Receiver Adapter

Hi,
I wrote a Adapter Module to create attachment in Receiver Mail Adapter. I create a PDF document using the IText API and create the attachment using this one. But it not work properly and the attachment is not send with the e-mail. My code is:
public ModuleData process(ModuleContext moduleContext, ModuleData inputModuleData)
 throws ModuleException{
 try{
 Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4);
 ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 PdfWriter.getInstance(doc,out);
 doc.open();
 PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(3);
 PdfPCell cell;
 cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("Rank"));
 cell.setBackgroundColor(new Color(34, 90, 141));
 table.addCell(cell);
 cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("Name"));
 cell.setBackgroundColor(new Color(34, 90, 141));
 table.addCell(cell);
 cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("Points"));
 cell.setBackgroundColor(new Color(34, 90, 141));
 table.addCell(cell);
 //add the data rows.
 int flag = 0;
 Color bg;
 for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++){
 //alternate colors
 if (flag == 0){
 flag = 1;
 bg = new Color(204, 204, 255);
 } else {
 flag = 0;

 cell.setBackgroundColor(bg);
 table.addCell(cell);
 cell = new PdfPCell(new Paragraph("" + (50000 - i * 10) + ""));
 cell.setBackgroundColor(bg);
 table.addCell(cell);
 doc.add(table);
 doc.close();
 Message msg = (Message)inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
 AuditMessageKey amk = new AuditMessageKey(msg.getMessageId(),AuditDirection.INBOUND);
 Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk,AuditLogStatus.SUCCESS,"CreateAttachment: Module Called");
 Payload attachment = msg.createPayload();
 attachment.setName("Order");
 attachment.setContentType("Plain/Text");
 attachment.setContent(out.toByteArray());
 msg.addAttachment(attachment);
 inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);
 }catch (Exception ex){
 ModuleException me = new ModuleException(ex);
 throw me;
 return inputModuleData;
somebody has some ideia.

Send XML File as attachement in Mail Receiver adapter

Hi all,
i have the following scenario. i would like to read an XML file from the file system and send this file as an attachement of a mail to a mail receiver specified in this file.
i would like to fill the payload of the mail with some information from the xml file and in addition i would like to send the complete xml file as an mail attachement.
can anybody tell me, how the mail receiver adater needs to be specified ?
best regards,
martin

Hey,
you can go for dynamic configuration of mail adapter.
In this you need to import a mail structure.
mail details such as to, from, subject and content of the mail are a part of the structure.
In your ID check the Use Mail package and also keep attachments.
Now you can give your details in mapping itself.
whatever you want to map in the content of the mail, map it in the content field.
also your file will behave as an attachment.
refer to this blog.
this is the mail structure. Import it as extenal definitions.

Mail Receiver Adapter - Flat File as Attachment

Hello,
I would like to send a flat file as attachment using an E-Mail receiver communication channel.
The flatfile is picked up beforehand using a file sender channel, so there is only routing necessary in PI.
Is it possible to send the flatfile as attachment by checking the option "XIPAYLOAD" or would this result in an error?
The scenario is quite simple and I am looking for the fastest and easiest way to implement it.
Thank you very much.

Hey
You can follow as given in the below blog

Mail receiver adapter: change filename of attachment to number in payload.

Dear experts,
I want to send out Purchase Orders from XI to a email address. The XI message containing the Purchase Order is sent as an attachment to a email to the supplier. However, the filename of the attachment needs to unique. Preferably the PO number which is in the file content.
Can anybody help me out with how to accomplish this?
My current settings are:
Transport protocol: SMTP
Message Protocol: XIPAYLOAD
Not using mail package
Keeping attachments.
Using: MessageTransformBean
Transform.ContentDisposition --> attachment;filename="testing.xml"
Please tell me how to dynamically change the "testing.xml" part!
Thanks in advance,
*will reward points if helpful

Thanks Prateek!

Custom Module-Attachment

Hi All,
In the scenario Webservice to RFC synchronous, I need to use custom module in the RFC adapter to create a attachment in the response message
Whether I need to use the custom module before the RFC standard module or after the standard module.?
Also If I select "Keep Attachments" in the sender soap adapter, can we monitor this in XI ..?

Attachment in custom model

Hi ,
How to create attachments in XI using custom module.can anyone suggest on this?
Thanks
Dinesh

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your quick response..
This is the first time am handling Webservice scenario..
Actually I spend some time for research activities on how to implement this scenario..
And we will talk with our client about what you have posted...
But I have heard SOAP sender and receiver adapters can support attachments..
My concern here is
1. Without custom module can we create an attachment? If so send us the links.
2. In most of the links I have found that attachments are created for Mail receiver adapter..Can I use the same logic to create attachment for SOAP receiver adapter?
3. I have heard using ABAP mapping or Java proxy we can create attachments. Can I use that attachmnent to send it to webservice
4. Can I use Java mapping to create SOAP attachments?
5. Finally which is the better solution to create an attachment..a)ABAP mapping b)Custom module c)Java proxy d)Java mapping
Please advice on this as I am new to this concept...
Thanks
Dinesh

Creating a PDF contract for a website

I am trying to figure out how to create a PDF and attach it to my website. I need to make a contract that is easy for my customer's to find and print of from the web so I do not have to mail it to them. I need to use a PDF so they can not change anything in the contract before printing. Thank you and if you have any advice how to attach it to this website also would really help. I can not figure out a place to make it easily acceptable.
Thanks
Peter
[ links removed by forum host - promotion is not permitted on this forum ]

After you create your file (you can apply security restrictions that prevent changing the file and only allow printing it), you just place the PDF in one of the public folders of your website and then link to it, just like any other file... The user will be able to download it directly, or open it in their browser.

Require PDF File attachment in Mail

Hi Experts,
I am doing the Proxy-XI-Mail scenario. I am sending the Mail related data like Content, Content_Type from R/3 to XI and configured the Mail receiver adapter.
R/3 coding:-
G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT_TYPE = 'application/pdf;name="filename.pdf"'
G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-CONTENT = G_CONTENT
G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-FROM = From_Mail.
G_ALERT_INPUT-MT_R3REQUEST_MAIL_SEND-MAIL-TO = To_Mail.
and then calling the client proxy
ID Mail Receiver configu:-
Selected Use Mail Package option
Content encoding base64
Keep attachment option is also selected.
I am geeting the Filename.pdf in mail as attachment.
Problem is:- I am not able to open the attached PDF File and error is:- 'Adobe Reader could not open filename,pdf because it is either not a supported file type ot because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded'
I think some conversions may be required to convert the XML Payload data into PDF file format for the Mail receiver adapter.
Please suggest
Thanks & Regards
Jagesh

Hi Jagesh,
The content type of the Pdf has to be identified, in order to conver the pdf successfully, You need to perform the conversion usign the PayloadSwapBean the Module tab. You use this when you want to receive attachment using Mail adapter. You need to configure few steps in Module Configuration
There you need to mention your MIME header paramenters Content-Type, Content-Description.
How this can be configured and how process with PayloadSwapBean check the below link

Using reports to "just" create a pdf file

Hi All,
I'm using oracle aplication server 10g.
I have a situation where i must send several emails into my clients. I want to use the reports server to create several pdf files attached into a "pretty" mail message.
In the end the user will get a full report in a "pretty" html message with several pdf files.
I have already done a very flexibal pl/sql procedure that can send emails into any mail server and using any amount of attach files.
I have already done the reports and i can call them find from the find from oracle forms creating a pdf file.
My problem is that i can't stop the oracle from calling the browser and showing the report on the user screen. I simple want to generate the reports... create a html email message attach the reports (pdf) and send them into the user
Using the build in email support in oracle reports is out of the question because it's a bit limited.
Any help would be great.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
But i do not want to use reports to send the email, i just want him to generate a pdf file and NOT OPENING the pdf file on the user browser, having that i will use my own pl/sql procedure to send the email with the pdf file attached.
I need this because because reports is a bit limit in the email respect, and with a build in email procedure i can do a lot more things (mail queues, elaborate messages, mail store etc)
PS: i'm using the rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product package to run the reports

How to manipulate records inside customized modules and reflect to the seeded modules

If we are going to add custom modules inside Oracle EBS that link to Receivables, how do we create/update/delete records inside those custom modules and make them reflect inside Receivables? Are we going to use also the Interface tables and standard APIs? Can anyone help me on this matter or point me to some reading materials. Actually, I already started reading Oracle Applications Developer's Guide which gave great knowledge on how to start this task.
Thanks in advance.
