Does Sender Mail Adapter support "PayloadZipBean" module

Hi everyone,
I have a scenario where, I get the email with an zip file as an attachment and I need to extract this file and send across. There is no mapping transformation done here, only I need to forward the attached file to the file server.
Zip file always contains 1 file and is a text file.
so Its an Email to File Scenario.
Can I send the zip file as it is without unzipping i.e., send the attachment as iit is to the file server?
If I want to unzip the file, does the module "PayloadZipBean" support in case of sender mail adapter. ?
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
Use "PayloadZipBean " Module at Receiver Communication Channel in the Module Tab Set the "Module Key.mode = unzip"
and Receiver communication Channel file should be "FileName.txt".

Sender Mail Adapter able to retrieve HTML emails?

Hi there,
I stamped over an issue that look like an adapter limitation, would like to hear you opinions.
We´re using a POP3 account configured in a Sender Mail Communication Channel with XIPAYLOAD, with this attempts:
- with or without the Mail Package;
- any type of encoding;
- must keep attachments.
In all of this options always the retrieved email from the POP Server comes in TEXT format.
Does the Mail Adapter support HTML emails?
Does the Mail Adapter support mixed/alternative Content-Type?
>Current version: SAP PI 7.0 SP14
>Mail Server: Lotus Domino 7.0.x
Regards,
Marlo Simon.

Ok,
I´m using the Sender Mail Scenario.
I tried the MessageTransformBean (Transform.ContentType) to force the Content-type to text/html and it made no difference.
Is there any Advanced parameter that would help? No docummentation from SAP on those ones.
I want to keep the original email body, but looks like the adapter only read plain text.
Rgds,
Marlo Simon.

** JDBC Sender Adapter support custom module ...?

Hi friends,
Does JDBC Sender Adapter support custom module ? If it is how it wil work ?
Kind Regards,
Jeg P.

Hi Kulwinder,
We want to separte the records (1:n) returned by JDBC sender adapter XML. ie. Split/Parse the records in XML and then send to BPM (one by one) instead of whole message . For that purpose, we want to write an adapter module.
Is this possible ?
Kind Regards,

Problem wiht sender mail adapter.

Hello.
I have a mail to RFC scenario.
There sender mail adapter fails if the mails in the inbox is encoded in specific formats.
I think the mail adapter does not understand this encoding.
Below is the error i got.
error occured: [2008-09-08T08:22:25Z] 5 new messages found; processing message 1exception caught during processing mail message[1]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 2exception caught during processing mail message[2]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 3exception caught during processing mail message[3]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 4exception caught during processing mail message[4]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 5exception caught during processing mail message[5]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; action[s] taken
Is there a solution 2 overcome this problem.
I tries to use a module called "TextCodepageConversionBean" but it was not of much use.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vignesh

HI
Mail adapter does not understand "UTF-7" as shown in the error.
Mail adapter supports only
base64
Quoted-Printable
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
If you want to make your adapter more than this. Then create a custom module using open libraries that will allow you to read many Encoding standards.
Thanks

Sender Mail Adapter - forcing content as an attachement

Hi all,
We are using the Sender Mail Adapter to pull emails from the inboxes of some users of an exchange server. We use the Mail Package option.
We have noticed that the content of the emails are by-default added as attachments when there are no real attachments to the emails. However the content is not added as an attachment when one or more attachments are present in these emails.
Is there a way of forcing the Sender Mail Adapter to always add the content as an attachment and keeping the other attachments as well? and of course maintain the Mail Package message type as the main payload...?
Many thanks,
Aldo

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear that I am wrong again )
In your opinion is it possible to force the Outlook Exchange server to add the content attachment every time? I mean by doing some configuration on it...?
The reason why we would like to do this is because when - in the content tag of a Mail Package message - we have MIME message parts that are of content-type text/html we are having problems in decoding the html back to a readable format.
To do this we use the apache QuotedPrintableCodec Java class.
This works fine when the content type of the message is just text/plain but we get an exception when we try with text/html.
The exception we get is:
org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException: Invalid URL encoding: not a valid digit (radix 16): 13
I don't know if this is because of the two character sets we have in the payload (utf-8 and iso-8859-1) or if it is for other reasons...
If you could help me figure out how to forward any HTML email to another system in a readable format it would be great.
Thanks for your support,
Aldo

Sender Mail adapter encounters MalformedInputException

I have a sender mail adapter that processes the attached .csv file. All is working fine. I use FCC in module to convert the attachment and pass to an IDOC adapter for processing in SAP system.
My problem is sometimes the sender mail CC fails with ...........
exception caught during processing mail message[1]; com.sap.aii.af.mp.module.ModuleException: Transform: failed to execute the transformation: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException caused by: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException
It only fails with some files. At the moment when we test we FORWARD the email to our email account. If I detach the failed email attachment and attach it to a NEW email it will then work.
So why does it not work when forwarding emails? But it works when I attach the same file to a new email and send?
Other threads for this error seem to point to encoding. But how do I know which to use. I currently use the following in my module config:
Transfer.ContentType     application/octet-stream;charset="ISO-8859-1"

I have this in my configuration:

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using Transform.class ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

Sender Mail Adapter, technical Acknowledgement

Hi all,
I have a SMTP --> XI --> Proxy Scenario. For the inbound message I get via SMTP, I'd like to send a technical acknowledgement back to the Sender (via SMTP, too). The acknowledgement has a specific message structure, for example it contains the DocumentID of the inbound message I get via SMTP.
My idea now is: Within ReceiverDetermination, I configure two receivers:
1. Backend system for the Inbound Proxy
2. original Sender System
Within Interface Determination, I'll do 2 mappings:
1. Mapping from source message to ABAP proxy interface
2. Mapping from source message to technical acknowledgement structure
Then, receiver agreements / receiver communication channels for both interfaces.
My question now is: is there a more elegant solution then doing the scenario like described above? Maybe something I can do in the Sender Mail Adapter to create the specific technical acknowledgement and sent it back to the sending application?
Best regards
Holger

Hi Holger !
XI supported acks are not available for your scenariom because the smtp/mail sender cannot request it.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/frameset.htm
You should create some kind of artificial ack, that should be part of your own protocol. What I meant with the SYNC proxy, is to use its response message as your own defined ack, because it is not supported as is.
If you call your proxy async, then you will not receive any feedback to use it as ack info.
Another idea could be to forget the ack per se, and just use define an alert in case of problems with the scenario to send a mail to the specified users.

Matias

Sender Mail Adapter - java.lang.NullPointerException in CC monitoring

hi,
I configured my Sender Mail Adapter correctly.
I have the correct POP URL, authentication. I'm not using PayloadSwapBean right now.
I can't get rid of the exception inside my Channel monitoring.
exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.NullPointerException
does anyone know why?
I've been told the POP account has emails already.
I will try to create an outlook account for this POP e-mail account in the mean time to see the e-mails.
Thank you

thanks aaron.
I don't see the folder ./SYS/../j2ee/...
will it be under another folder? I don't see a trace log folder either.
I think the problem might be in the Module tab.
I tried.
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
/localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
/localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
they all produce the same error. I wonder if these Beans actually exist.
I think we might have to reinstall this Mail Adapter altogether.
Or maybe it's really the connection to the Mail Server. But would it display this kind of message.
This is what I'm looking at.
Also, i had to use this URL
pop://server:995/
(995 is using SSL and it is the default port). When I use this, I see the Java Null Pointer Exception a lot less frequently. Weird.

Non XML attachment to XML in sender mail adapter

Hi,
I am working with sender mail adapter and usng payloadswapbean. My attachment is non XML and I need to convert it in to XML in order to mapping. How can I do that? Can someone explain if can I use MessageTransformBean for this purpose and if so, how?
Or any other method for doing this?
Thanks,
Rakesh

Is the attachment in text format? If yes, then after the usage of PayloadSwapBean, you may try using MessageTransformBean in the same module chain. And you will be able to convert it into xml format.

Prateek

Duplicate messages in sender mail adapter

Hi,
We are using the sender mail adapter to retrieve messages from an IMAP mail server. Messages are being picked up correctly, but when we have large messages (with e.g. PDF attachments) things go wrong.
The time it takes to retrieve the mail message is longer than the poll time. In this case the adapter logs in again in the mail server to retrieve the first new message from the inbox. However the first adapter threat is already retrieving that message. This results in a duplicate message in XI. (messages are set to be deleted when read).
We have tried all kind of settings in the adapter but without any results. The adapter works fine with very small messages.
Does anyone recognize this problem?
PS. please do not post links to sap help or the mail adapter FAQ. Useful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Christiaan Schaake

Hi Christiaan !
I understand your problem. Could you set your IMAP account to avoid multiple simultaneous sessions?? maybe if there is only one session allowed per user or per time, then parallel XI threads will not be able to start downloading the messages.
If you cannot use a longer poll interval, then you could develop an adapter module for the Mail sender adapter that could be used to verify if the current mail is just being downloaded by other thread. This adapter module could check the unique mail data (date/time + subject + etc.) against a local table.
Regards,
Matias.
PD: please award points if helpful.

Sender Mail Adapter Attachment

Hi All
The mail I get from the 3rd party has a body and attachment. I have done the TRANSORM module as described in some of the forums, and then the Plain2XML.
On sxmb_moni I see the MailMessage and MailAttachment-1, where the MailMessage is in XML format and MailAttachment in normal text. What should I do to completely ignore the MailMessage(body of the mail) and just send MailAttachment to the receiver.
I have tried to split the message to two receivers, but because the attachment message does not transform to xml, it gives me a mapping error. Is there anyway I can either ignore the body and just send the attachment to the receiver without doing JAVA code.
Thanks in advance
Clinton

Hi Jin
Thanks for your answer.
This is how I am using the module within the Sender Mail Adapter.
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean           TRANSFORM
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean     Plain2XML
TRANSFORM     swap.keyName     Content-Description
TRANSFORM     swap.keyName     Content-Disposition
TRANSFORM     swap.keyValue     attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
TRANSFORM     swap.keyValue     MailAttachment-1.xml
Plain2XML     Transform.Class          com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
Plain2XML     Transform.ContentType     text/xml;charset=utf-8
Plain2XML     xml.conversionType     SimplePlain2XML
Plain2XML     xml.documentName     MT_TEBA_Contractor_Details
Plain2XML     xml.documentNamespace     http://lonmin.co.za/TEBA_to_SAP

Plain2XML     xml.fieldSeparator     |
Plain2XML     xml.processFieldNames     fromConfiguration
Plain2XML     xml.structureTitle     Details
Using it like this it does not do the swap correct and it still put the data within the body as xml, and leave the attachment as txt.
Can you see something wrong here.
Thanks
Clinton

Sender mail adapter - attachment name

Hi there
We have configured a sender email adapter to receive text/csv attachments and save them to a file system. What we are having a problem with is reading the attachment name. So we are using Dynamis Configuration to create the file name using the subject line - Which is not ideal. Ideally we would like to use the same name as the origianl attachment but haven't found any way of doing that. We even tried using Content-type in the Variable Header (XHeaderName1) suing variable transport binding but it doesn't show up in the Dynamic Config part of the SOAP message.
Is there any way of reading the name of the file attachment? We are on PI release 7.0.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Salil

Hi Vitor
There are 2 scenarios that I can think of -
1. You are saving the email attachment as a file. In that case use step 3 in the earlier reply to get the attachment name and save the file witht that name.
2. You are sending the XML straight to a receiver using HTTP, IDOC, JDBC etc. in which case you would need the attachment name much earlier that step 3. For that I guess you would have to write another adapter module on the sender mail adapter(at Position 3 where position1 = payloadswap bean, 2 = custom module to get the attachment name) and add an xml tag to your incoming message. These adapter modules are really powerful and are like user exits in ABAP. In that case you would have to change the Data Type in the Integration repository to reflect that extra tag. Here is some code from a module we wrote to totally change the structure of the xml coming in. The key thing to remember is this module is that you can read the whole message byte by byte. There might be smarter ways of doing it (like using the SAP XML parser factory class) but since I'm not a Java programmer I stuck to the basics. Here's the code( you could also look at the example given in sap help where they remove (or add I'm not sure) CR(carriage return) from CRLF (CR Line feed).
