Design: Downloading attachement using Mail adapter

Hi Experts
I am currently building an interface which requires attachment to be downloaded in XI box. Is this possible using sender mail adapter. Could someone validate the feasibility of the design.
Requirement in Brief
A bank is sending a file through e-mail as an attachment to a file system and XI has to move the file to target system using FTP adapter. Now we want automation on source end. Instead of manually downloading the file to file system we want file to be direcly posted to target system.
So few questions with regard to requirement:
1) Can I download the file from mail in XI and then post the downloded attachement to Target system.
Could someone please provide me with the steps for downloading the file to XI??
Regards
Abhishek Mahajan

Sending File as attachment using Mail adapter with naming convention

Dear All,
I am working on a scenario in which my sender file adapter is sending one file named 'ABC.ok' in one of the folders in application server. I have to send the same file with the same name to one of the folders at FTP and also to my customer at his email id.
I have used File Content onversion at the receiver side and has selected adapter specific attributes due to which the required file is getting generated at FTP folder with the same name as that of the source. But how to send the same file using the mail adapter by keeping same name as "ABC.ok". Kindly guide me out in this.
Regards,
NJ

what you need to do:
1) Select ASMA in Sender and receiver File CC...already done
2) Using the Dynamic Config UDF get the sender file name in the field Content-Type...for this you need to have a return statement in your UDF
3) now before pushing this file name to the Content-Type you have to append (concat)the actual type of the file content (xml, txt)
so your entire Content-Type node will have something like text/plain; name="abc.ok"

HI Experts,

Hi Sai,
you can use XSLT or java mapping or adapter module to convert IDOC xml to XLS. Please refer the below blog
Convert incoming XML to Excel or Excel XML – Part 1 - XSLT Way
Convert incoming XML to Excel Sheet Part 2 – Adapter Module way
Convert incoming XML to Excel Sheet
then after converting to Excel, you can use the payloadswap bean in mail adapter

PDF attachment in mail adapter

Hi
I am reading mailbox using mail adapter. But i cannot read the PDF attachment in that mail. I use "PayloadSwapBean" in the module, but it is packing the mailbody to the text file, but they is no sign of PDF attachment. How to read the attachment.
Regards
Andy

Hi Anandan,
You can use Java/ABAP proxies to do this job for you..
Java Proxy >> will read the mail(with the attachments) with the help of Java APIs and send the message into XI ABAP Proxy >> for this you will have to first convert the attachment into a message and then you can proceed in the regular fashion.
Not all adapters can process attachments, I'm not sure why you are having trouble with using module processor in the mail adapter. Just check if the service pack that you are using supports this feature.
If you are on WAS 6.10 and above you can achieve this and there is an excellent weblog by Thomas Jung on this topic at
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher

File attachement in mail adapter

Hi ,
I need to send users an error report which I have captured in the form of a file. Is it possible to attach this file as an attachement via mail adapter. I have been reading that the payload can be sent as attachment by specifying the interface namespace and interface name. But my requirement is to trigger the mail once the file has been completely written and not for every message. The reason being I could have 3000 records in the file and I dont want to send 3000 MAILS out but just 1 mail for the entire 3000 records...
Thanks,
Teresa

Hi Teresa,
I hope, I understand you right.
When you use the file-adapter for sending the file, you can without mapping send this file out to a mail receiver as attachment, there is nothing special to do.

Stefan

Sending a File (XML or TXT) as attachment to Mail Adapter

Dear all,
In a scenario I'd like to pull a file by using 'File Adapter' and send it (without content change) as attachment to an Email recipient.
Is their any possibility to send a file by using Mail Adapter?
Do you have any similar solution in place, if so could you please share your experiences with me?
FYI, we are using XI 3.0, SP14.
I'll appreciate your time.
Regards,
K. Afsali

Hi Afsali,
//Is their any possibility to send a file by using Mail Adapter
it is possible.
There are a few steps to it though. You will have to convert the file you pick up into an XML file as XI can process only XML data.
After you are done with it, you will have to import a WSDL for sending mails. this WSDL is available on SAP Marketplace and it will have all details like from, to subject,and content. To get this WSDL just check this link,
https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012006153200000361852004E/ximail30_xsd.txt
Just do the mapping of the respective fields and the information mapped to the content field will be passed as the content of the mail.
Just check thise links out,it will surely help you

Sending Formated email content using Mail Adapter !

Hi,
I would like to send email notification to customer using mail adapter, could you please to advise how to prepared the content of the email with little bit formated like sample below :
Dear Madam / Sir
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Best Regards,
Since the constant function only can accept single line, how i can add change line.
thank you and Best Regards
Fernand

Hi Fernand,
There are a couple of blogs in SDN regarding sending formatted mail using Mail adapter. I guess there is one written by Prakash Arunachalam. Just do a search and it will give you some idea on using XSLT to achieve the result.
If all you need is multi line in the content, use a UDF and use \n when ever you need a new line and \t for tab space.

Jaishankar

Change attachment name using mail adapter

Hi All,
I have a problem changing the attachment name in my scenario. I use Mail scenario to send a pdf Attachment from R/3 to email address. Everything working fine except the attachment name that becoming untitled.pdf and untitled.txt.
Communication Channel setting :
message protocol : xipayload
transport protocol : smtp
checked use mail package
checked keep attachment
I have use MessageTransformBean in my receiver adapter, but no luck. It was produce an error.
anyone have an idea to solve my problem?
thx,
Robby

Hi,
You need to go to the Module tab of the Mail adapter receiver communcation channel and give the parameter as Transform.contentDisposition and its value as attachment ( since you needed the output to be sent as an attachment) and give the name of the attachment as you required.
Please see the help page : [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/0b2c4142aef623e10000000a155106/frameset.htm] for more details and more options of the parameters.

Plain text and attachment in Mail Adapter (Receiver)

Hello,
we have to generate a mail in the mail-adapter with a specific text and an attachment.
The attachment is a document in pdf-format, that is generated inside an adapter-module out of the payload-document.
An additional text has to be added to the mail for the receiver in plain-text-format, like "Dear customer ... enclosed you will find ...".
Is it possible to mix plain-text and attachments in the mail adapter? Does anybody know how we can do that?
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi,
yes you can do it very easily inside the adapter module
if you're already using the adapter module then
you can just enhance it a little bit
you can add the pdf to the attachment section and
leave dear customer in the standard payload
you can even make it a little bit more dynamic
and create a module that will take the input from
the communication channel config (modules tab) - for example xml tag name in which you will specify
the dear customer (or any other text) and after this
the pdf creating can use the xml without this tag...

Remove Attachment in Mail Adapter Module

Hi!
My problem: I get an email with an attachment which I process in an adapter module for the mail adapter. With the resulting XML I set a new payload, but the old attachment still exists.
This gets to a problem when I route the message back to the mail adapter, he adds the old attachment to the generated email. Therefore the new email has two attachments: the old one and the new one, which should only be one attachment: only the new one.
How can I remove the old attachment? I found no function which solves this problem.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Michal,
thanks for the link.
When I import aii_proxy_xirt.jar in my NWDS, I can import the MessageSpecifier class. But I can't get an instance of it from the classes which I can access.
The only 'documented' usages of this class I found were codings for java proxies, so I'm not sure we can use this class in an adapter module.
In this cases they get the MessageSpecifier instance from the proxy bean, so maybe we can get it from the EJB, but this doesn't work with an adapter module (or I haven't found out how )
Hmm. It is a simple problem, but it seems difficult to solve
Best regards,
Daniel
