Documentum Crawl of .msg files

I am trying to view .msg (Outlook saved) files in Documentum through the portal. I had my crawler bring in cards, however when I click on the link, the document is not in readable format. I tried using global document type map to map .msg files to MS Office and Exchange accessors with no luck.
Is the view of a document in documentum through the portal limited to the browser's rendition of the document? (I notice that .doc and .xls documents are opened through IE's Word and Excel respecitively) If so can IE open .msg files in readable format? Thanks.

In the future please address these questions to the discussions in the Deployment Center. The Deployment Center is for help in deploying supported Plumtree products (like the Documentum crawler). You can also open a support incident.

.MSG files. Problem with getting requested values from crawled properites

Hi
I have a lot of msg files on my file server. I use SharePoint Enterprise Serach engine to crawl all these MSGs.
I would like to get extra managed properties out of these files. I am most interested in getting Mail:5(text) / Mail:12(Date and Time) / Mail:53(Date and Time) from MAIL category in Managed Properties.
This thread is very similar to one already posted by SpinnerUp:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/82d69df0-5cb2-4e51-a485-34209e111f4b/problem-with-crawling-msg-files-doesnt-seem-to-return-requested-values-from-crawled-property
Please be aware that I do not use Public Folders. These MSGs are exproted from Outlook and are stored on File Server not Exchange.
I tried to link Crawled Properties to new property however I cannot get any results back.
Thank you for you help.
Regards, Marcin (Please mark as helpful or answered if it helps)

Thank you for your replay.
However I am not keen to write custom connector at this stage.
Is it possible to simply get "Subject", "Sent", "Received" info from msg file and then map it to managed properties.
Does SharePoint create any crawled properties which contain information about let's say "Subject" which then can be used to create managed properties?
I tried playing with "MAIL" properties however I cannot get them to work. I guess this is because the file is a msg file rather than mail which is stored in Exchange Public Folder.

Errors in Ultra Search crawler's log file

Hi all,
I'm trying to configure Ultra Search to do advanced search on a set of attributes of my Portal items.
After executed Synchronization Schedule in the Ultra Search Administration Tool, I found these in the Crawler Progress Summary:
Documents to Fetch 0
Documents Fetched 284
Document Fetch Failures 0
Documents Rejected 0
Documents Discovered 284
Documents Indexed 59
Documents non-indexable 225
Document Conversion Failures 0
The number of non-indexable documents are 225 while the indexed documents are only 59. Then I looked into the Crawler's log file and found that all the almost processes tried to index Portal items got errors. The errors look like:
http://winas10g.tinhvan.com/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwsbr_srchxml.execute?p_action=generate_item&p_thingid=276935&p_siteid=753&p_result_lang=en: Portal server returned an error message.
Documents to process = 0
Error message returned from Portal server is: User-Defined Exception.
The successful processed documents look like:
Documents to process = 186
Processing http://winas10g.tinhvan.com/pls/portal/PORTAL.wwsbr_srchxml.execute?p_action=generate_item&p_thingid=276386&p_siteid=753
Total documents successfully processed = 86
Documents to process = 185
Then when I performed search, I just can find the text that appear directly on Portal pages with URL address format: http://host:port/pls/portal/url/PAGE/pagegroup_name/page_name.
Is there any error with my Utra Search configuration here? How can I index all the Portal items along with their attributes?
Thanks,
Vietdt

The log file for the crawler schedule should be explicitly listed in the information for the schedule. Please check the information for that schedule.
This log file will be located in the log directory that you've specified in the "crawler" tab.
Please locate the log file and let us know what you see in that.
thanks

.msg files open in new tab or window, not with the default program

Hello,
I am having an issue with .msg files not opening with the default program, Outlook. They are opening in a new tab and it is just a bunch of gibberish from the email header. Does anyone know how to force IE to open the .msg files in Outlook? They open fine
in Chrome and Firefox.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
First I suggest we take a try in IE with no-addons.
Follow the steps below:
1. Click Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Internet Explorer (with no add-ons)
2. Press Shift, then right click Internet Explorer icon on taskbar, select run as administrator;
Please also take a verify that if the outlook is set to the default open program of .msg files:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set Default Programs, find the .msg file and take a look.
Then we may try to use process monitor to track the root cause of this issue:
The download link here:
Process monitor
And here is
a blog talking about how to use it:

Hope this may help

How to customize error message using oraus.msg file?

Hi,
Is there a way to modify the oracle error message (for example: instead of ORA-01481: invalid number.. we modify it to "hello ! use a valid format.." ), is it possible using the oraus.msg file if not is there a solution?
Many thanks

It would render the database completely unsupportable by anyone, and based on the quality of exception handling that is generally seen on these forums would result in databases that simply don't work.

as we've a lot of forms screens and it's not possible to modify all of them.These are strange kinds of forms that it is possible to create a lot of them but not possible to modify them.
Is there a solution for this?Fix the forms.

How do I open a .msg file...is it safe?

Occasionally i get an email with a .msg file attached. It is from a friend who is known to me. How do I open it and is it safe?
Thanks for the help..
kathy

The user has sent a message using MS Outlook, which packages attachments in it's own format ( arrogantly assuming that all recipients have Outlook too). This will take care of it for you by converting the file to its original.

Creating a .MSG file which has file attachments

Hi
If I wanted to create a Word document or an Excel file, I would simply use cfcontent and then save the content to disk using cffile.
However, I now have a requirement whereby I would like to create a .MSG file. (This is the equivalent, if you use MS Outlook, of saving an email that you have in your inbox to disc.)
My question is, how do you accomplish this?
I was thinking I could change the MIME type of the document to a type equivalent to MS outlook message files but how do include the attachments etc to the email?
Has anyone done something similar before? Ideas please?
Thanks
Michael

Changing the MIME type of a response doesn't magically convert the file format of the response, it just sets an HTTP header to reflect the desired MIME type. What the browser does with that info is up to the browser, but when you save the file, it's still just plain text, unless you have specifically created the binary data that represents the file format you want (which it doesn't sound like you're doing).
So simply using CFCONTENT to indicate the MIME type is application/msword (etc) and saving downloaded data as a .doc file does not make it a Word file, unless the data you send down is in the Word binary format. It's just a text file with a .doc extension. Word will have a stab at converting it to Word format - in memory - when you open it, but until you resave it, the file is still just text.
The same applies to any other file format. If you want to create an Outlook message file with attachments etc, you'll need to file the file format somewhere (and it's like to be proprietry, and not published, if it's a MS format), and replicate that. No mean task.
Why are you trying to create a file representing a saved email message? It's an uncommon requirement...

Saving Email as a .msg file on local machine

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement of reading an email from the INBOX folder and later save it as a .msg file on my local machine. Although, the file is getting created, I am unable to open it. However, when the file is saved as an .eml file, it works fine.
I have tried saving a .msg file from outlook and opening it, however, the problem is with the email file saved as .msg file using java.
Any suggestions on fixing this problem.
Thanks,
Nitin

Hi nithin,
You can achieve this when the client send the message to you in octet streem then the par object contains the message subject as file name along with .msg files . if you store the same you can retrieve by using
response.setcontenttype("octet-stream")
and retrieve the stored message in .msg extension. can you pleasse let us know hoe you are capturing the part and storing in PC , I mean which type of part you are trying to open whether the part object content in octet stream or message/RFC822 format. please let me know.

How to modify the timestamp in a msg file?

Hi All,
Do you know how to modify the timestamp in a msg file which was saved from Outlook Inbox. The mail subject and body are able to be modified by selecting
Actions - Edit Message. But it looks like the mail timestamp and the To/Cc are not able to be modified.
Thanks,
高麻雀

You can convert your MSG file(s) to EML format, edit Date: header in EML file with any plain text editor (like Notepad) and then convert it back to MSG.
You can use free
Convert Outlook MSG to EML Files and
Convert EML Files to Outlook MSG utilities to perform the conversion.

Index attachments in MSG files

I am trying to use Oracle Text to index and search msg files with attachments. For testing purposes, I have set up a table called TEST_DOCUMENTS. The table has two columns - a blob column containing the data to be indexed and a varchar2 column describing the data as follows:
Description - Test 1 - simple email no attachments
Blob - Outlook MSG file.
Description - Test 2 - an email including a PDF attachment
Blob - Outlook MSG file.
Description – Test 3 - an email including a Word attachment
Blob - Outlook MSG file.
Description – Test 4- a PDF document
Blob – Adobe PDF file.
Description – Test 5 - a Word document
Blob – Ms Word Doc file.
When I index the above using the following:
CREATE INDEX TEST_DOCUMENTS_IDX ON TEST_DOCUMENTS
(DATA_BLOB )
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('filter ctxsys.auto_filter');
And search using
Select description
from test_documents
where contains(data_blob,:’search string here’) > 0;
The email attachments are not included in the search, i.e., I can search the content of the emails but not the attachments. Note: Test 4 and Test 5 are the same as the attachments linked to Test 2 and Test 3. These are returned when the appropriate string is entered!
If I drop the index and create it as:
CREATE INDEX TEST_DOCUMENTS_IDX ON TEST_DOCUMENTS
(DATA_BLOB )
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('filter ctxsys.mail_filter');
I can search the email with the word attachment but not the body of the email. Test 2 with PDF attachment is not indexed. Test 4 and Test 5 as expected are not indexed as they are not email documents.
On checking the drmailfl.txt file I can see that the default behavior is as follows:
[behavior]
text          INCLUDE
application     IGNORE
application/msword AUTO_FILTER
image          IGNORE
audio          IGNORE
video          IGNORE
model          IGNORE
i.e., only process word attachments. However, if I add application/pdf to the file it makes no difference. The PDF attachment is not indexed.[ Note: each time I make a change I drop and recreate the index..] I even tried setting the behavior to ignore for everything! You would expect it to not index anything but it still indexed the word attachment! I tried shutting down the database and restarting it to see if it made any difference.
The documentation for Oracle 11g does imply that the ‘AUTO_FILTER’ should index the attachments, but I cannot get it to do it. Has anybody successfully indexed emails with PDF or Word attachments using either ‘AUTO_FILTER’ or ‘MAIL_FILTER’?

Hi James
Strictly speaking, you can't. The Workflow system has its own mechanism for handling attachments - they are attached via Form Manager's custom "attachment" user interface, rather than being attached "inside" the PDF.
You could get at these attachments, and attach them to your outbound email as regular attachments, rather than embedded within the PDF.
If you have a strong requirement to embed the attachments inside the PDF, there may be something we could do. Please email info-at-avoka.com if you want to discuss further.

Can I read a .msg file on the Mac?

I received a file with a .msg ending, which I gather is Microsoft Outlook. When I clicked on it, my Parallels opened, but I am having no luck opening the file in Parallels, and everything freezes up and is very slow when I try to open Microsoft Outlook. My question is, is there a way I can download something so that I can read a .msg file in my Mac? I have more than one of these files, and it's important that I read them. Thanks for any help.

Here is some stuff I found via Google:

There is more - so try a google search if these don't work out for you.

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
