Dynamic File naming in Mail attachment

Hi experts,
I am doing a Mail to File scenario, in which at the sender side I have a mail with File attachments.We are using IMAP protocol and picking up from a URL.At the receiver end we have to provide a file which is the attachment from the incoming mail.
With the help of the module I have separated the body and the attachment and the file is created with the static name I provided in the File adapter
My requirement is to dynamically name the file based on the customer name.I am not configured the design part, as no mapping of the interfaces are required.
For some reason,I am not able to open the mail bodyin sxmb_moni,but can see the attached file.
Thanks,
Tushar

there is no standard way.
you will have to write a module to get this in place.

Dynamic file name as mail attachment in receiver Mail Adapter?

Hi,
Can any one tell the possibility of attaching file as a mail attachment without using mail Package with dynamic filename.
Business requirement is to send error response as mail attachment with dynamic name.
Ex: Error_Response_20110802_13.24 where 20110802 is Date and next part represents time stamp.
File attachment name should change dynamically in Mail receiver Adapter. Thanks

How to set dynamic name of the mail attachment according to source file ?

Hi,gurus:
Our scenario is like below:
Sending files from an FTP server to another FTP server without using the integraiton repositary,and the file name is not changed .Now, we want to also send the file to some with by mail adapter.The scenario now works by using two business services in receiver determination.But the name of the attachment is "untitled.xml".We know how to set the file name staticly,but how to set the name dynamicly according to the source file name ?
I have checked miachel's blog "XI: Dynamic name in the mail attachment - pseudo "variable substitution"(/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/02/23/xi-dynamic-name-in-the-mail-attachment--pseudo-variable-substitution),but how can I get the source file name?
And another question:Must we restart the adapter or j2ee engine to make the user defined module work?

Hi,
>>>but how can I get the source file name?
form dynamicconfiguration (ASMA)
>>>And another question:Must we restart the adapter or j2ee engine to make the user defined module work?
no need for a restart

Dynamic file naming with File/FTP adapter

Hi all,
I have a requirement for writing files with names of the files based on a customer ID.... a dynamic name based on a value retrieved from the customer DB.
I have already tried using the dynamic file naming suggestion in the bpel dev guide, it does not work. I followed the instructions, the process fails to compile and throws "part" and "undefined variables" errors etc.
Has anyone succesfully used file/ftp adapter to write files with dynamic file names (using a varibale), not %SEQ% or %datetime% formats?
Thanks,
Hasan

You can create a header variable that will allow you to set the outbound file name inside the process. This variable is a message type. From the type chooser select:
Message Types
Partner Links
Outbound Partner Link
Outbound wsdl
Message Types
Imported WSDL
fileAdapterOutboundHeader.wsdl
OutboundHeader_msg
This variable will have a part filename.
Set this part to whatever you wish your file to be named.
Select the invoke to your outbound file/ftp partnerlink. Move to the adapters tab and select the header variable you created as the Input Header Variable.

Dynamic file name of the attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi
I have configured a sender mail adapter which receives some attachments.
Right now the file name of the attachment is hardcoded to "MailAttachment-1" "MailAttachment-2" using the content-description from "AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean" module.
I want to set it to dynamic ie. instead of "MailAttachment-1"... i want it with real name of the attach.
please suggest a solution w/o the need to develop a custom adapter module.
Thanks!
Regards,
Mariano.

Thanks Prateek,
Now, i can see that the name of the original file is into the content type named as text/xml; name"name of the file.xml" when i send the email from outlook.
If i send it from hotmail, this is not happend.
Do you know why happend this?
If i always would have the original name inside the content type, my problem will be solved.

Problem: using Dynamic file naming in adapter

Hi
Wat i m doing is using dynamic file configuration as given in this link
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14 and trying to get file name and content of the file.
I m getting file name in dynamic configuration in SXMB_MONI but payload is empty.Actually i have to pass this payload to BPM.

Subodh,
I understand that using the filename you would like to do the validations, but, am not able to get the entire flow, inclduing your BPM flow.
If you give us the entire interface flow, it would be helpful to understand the problem better.
Just a quick note : Try to do the mapping that gets the filename outside the BPM if you do not get this inside the BPM.
Have not tried this, but I have seen a few posts which found that the dynamic parametrs were not accesible inside the BPM.

Need Java Coding to sent File in a Mail Attachment with MIME Type with SMTP

Hi Experts,
I need java code to sent a file in an email attachment with MIME type.
Please provide me.
TYhanks
Bhaskar

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your Blog.
The same java mapping is been used in my current system, but the legacy system cannot read
some emails as they are asking us to send the email in MIME format.
Already i am sending in MIME format itself.
They can read some Emails and they cannot ream some Emails.
I think the problem could be their exchange server.
Can you please suggest on this.

Mail Receiver adapter - dynamic file name without mail package

I know that we can get the dynamic attachment name using mail package... As per the FAQ Mail adapter, the Mail package use is deprecated and hence we do not want to go that route.
I have seen the following wiki entry for setting the file attachment name...
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Adapter%20Module%20PI%207.0%20Set%20Attachment%20Name?bc=true
Is this the only approach to dynamic attachment name using Mail adapter (and without Mail package). Or a different approach without Adapter module is possible?

There is a different approach without using mail package or adapter module.
Have a look at this Wiki:

View full file names of mail attachment titles in MAIL application (Apple)

I often get many attachments sent to me and when I am looking through emails for some reason all attachments show up as an ICON with a shortened version of the name of the file. It is always just the first 10 or so characters of the title and the last 3, which is usually the (.gif, .pdf, etc...)
A lot of what I get usually has the similar titles and only seeing the first few characters is not making things easy for me to find exactly what I am looking for.
Is there a way to view the full file name within the mail and within the application without having to open each file up each time in the APPLE MAIL application?
Maybe there's a way to show all attachments as a list with a smaller icon?
Anything that'll let me view the full title of all attachments would help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I agree it is frustrating and literally just sent the wrong attachment to a customer because I was trying to live with the truncated filename system. I did find this nifty app called Mail Iconizer (http://lokiware.info/Mail-Attachments-Iconizer). It's pretty neat as it lets you control how attachments are viewed as well as pdfs and images (based on size). It's a free unlimited trial and $15 if you want to register so it's pretty inexpensive.

Pdf file name in mail attachment

Hi All,
For sales order invoice, there is an output type configured which sends the output smartform as pdf attachment in mail.
The sending medium is 'External send' (Type 5). I want to know how I can give a specific name to this pdf file attachment.
Since there is no coding involved in generating this pdf attachment, i don't know how to achieve it.
Can I pass it when i call the function module of the smartform ?
Please help.
Regards

Hi,
In your driver program, the title for the pdf has to be provided in the import structure for the smartform with name "OUTPUT_OPTIONS" of type SSFCOMPOP.
In it, use try field TDTITLE or TDCOVTITLE. I don't exactly remember which 1 of these 2, so try both.

Error in User defined function for dynamic file naming

Hi,
While creating User Defined function with this following code for dynamic fieldname
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);

String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
which options should i select for cache Value, Context, Queue
for Augument , what name shd i mention.
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
I guess I have answered a similar question just a few minutes before on very similar post from you. Just pasting the same here .................
Are you trying to access the ASMA values from the SOAP header of the XI message for the source file name?
First of all you need to Set the Sender File Adapter for Set ASMA and then file name. So it will work fine when you actually run the scenario end to end.
But in the mapping tool when you test the mapping - there is not message header updated with the actual source filename - and whenever you try to read the FileName attribute in the message header from the UDF - it cannot find the object and returns a NullPointerException.
I would suuggest for your mapping tool testing to be successful, have a check in the java code for null values,
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
If (ourSourceFileName != null)
Return ourSourceFileName;
Return "NoFileName.txt";
Let us know if this works.

Dynamic file naming when downlaoding the file to target directory

Dear friend,
My requirement is in the Adapter type File, File Name has to be dynamically generated. (i.e., each time the file name will be different according to the input name from the IDoc field). Can someone help me in this regard ???
Thanks in advance,
Jose Augastine

Hi,
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field. just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).
Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.
It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.
For the former, your give
message:interface_name ,etc
and for the payload part you give,
Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"
Just check this link out,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
If you have any clarifications, do get back,
