E-mail Attachment Name Changes

I have a following problem with mail attachments: When I drag the attachment from my mail window onto my desktop, the attachment name changes to "unknown". So for example, "cat.jpg" would become "unknown.jpg". To make this a bit more complicated, the problem is a bit random and from this it follows that sometimes the file keeps the original and correct file name and sometimes it changes it. Also, this problem occurs only when I drag the attachment (which normally is image) from email window, but if I pull the attachment from above the message window, where it has a little arrow and it shows all the attachment icons, this problem does not happen. I am running Tiger and Mail 2.1. It would we really great if you could take a sec to answer this if you have any idea at all what this problem might to be. Thanks!
Best, Rauno

Hi Rauno, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Hmmm, since it's random, might try this...
Quit Mail, then In your home folder, try moving this +folder & file+ to the Desktop then reboot...
First, Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
Move to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
You can always move them back if it doesn't help.

Change e-mail attachment name dynamic in Broadcaster

Hi,
I want to send an e-mail to multiple recipient by the setting "e-mail bursting" in broadcaster. Each e-mail has an attachment (pdf-document).
Is it possible, to change the name of the attachment dynamic, when sending the mail to the different recipients (example:
recipient 1: recipient1.pdf,
recipient 2: recipient2.pdf,
and so on)
I tried a solution with text variables, but it didn't work.
Regards,
Tim Jaschik

Hi,
thanks for your fast answer. But my problem is to change the attachment name of the e-mail, not to schedule the e-mail.
So, is there no possibility to control the process which creates the attachment name?
Regards,
Tim

Need to get the Mail attachment name as it is to the receiver file adapter

I am doing a Mail to File scenario. I need to get the attachment from the mail and store it on the file server. I am using the PayloadSwap bean in the sender mail adapter. My requirement is to carry forward the attachement name as it is to the receiver file adapter side and store the file with the same name.
Did any one try doing this? I was looking at developing an adapter module but got struck as I could not find whether the attachement name is stored in the XI payload after it has got swapped using the swap bean.
Any help would be appreciated.

Oops pressed the send key. Take two.
This is becoming a damn nightmare. When I run the adapter I am getting ModuleExceptions. Can you pass your eyes over these Java config settings to see what I am doing wrong.

Gmail access through Mail : Attachment name and extension terminated

When I try to send an attachment through Gmail using Mail, if the attachment names have more than one word with spaces in them, the entire name is terminated to the first few letters before the space and the file extension is lost too; so the recipients end up having incomplete file names without any extension. The files transfer perfectly and once the extensions are put in, they open without a problem. Receiving attachments where the names have spaces etc. is not a problem at my end though.
Any idea what I should tweak?
Thanks.

All updates are installed regularly, so I am indeed at the newest version of all available software. I just haven't updated my signature here.
And the name of the attachment is mangled only when I use the client to send an attachment to any other Gmail account ( both Windows or Mac, accessed either through a client or directly at the receiving end). The same email cc'd to my school address shows the entire file name. And if I send the email through Gmail directly, then it is fine too, as I mentioned.

Mail Attachment Name

Hi,
I am using File to Mail scenario. There is no mapping, it uses dummy Interfaces. I have Adapter Module at the Receiver in Mail to dynamically get the filename and set it as the attachment name.
Following is the module code. The problem with the code is I get 2 attachments in the mail, One with proper file name as desired and the 2nd attachment as "Untitled.xml". Need to get rid of this Untitled.xml. Note: Keep attachments is Checked as I need the file in attachment.
Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
               XMLPayload xmlpayload = msg.getDocument();
               String strfileName = msg.getMessageProperty("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
               byte by[] = xmlpayload.getText().getBytes();
               xmlpayload.setName(strfileName);
               xmlpayload.setContentType("text/xml");
               xmlpayload.setContent(by);
               msg.addAttachment(xmlpayload);
               inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);

Create an UDF and mention the key and the value of the file name you wish
public void DynamicFilename(String[] a,String[] b,ResultList result,Container container){
//write your code here
AbstractTrace trace = container.getTrace();
String strDirectory=" ";
String strFileName="";
try
     Map map= container.getTransformationParameters();
     //This is for generating the file Direcotry Dynamically
     DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get
(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
     DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
     DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File",
"FileName");
strDirectory= "/xxx/xxx/xx";
strFileName= b[0] + b[2] + b[1]+ ".XML";
trace.addWarning("strDirectory " +strFileName);
conf.put(key, strDirectory);
conf.put(key1, strFileName);
result.addValue(b[0]);
catch(Exception ex)
trace.addWarning("Catch Block " );

Mac mail full name change

Hi,
I just upgraded ONE computer amongst 4 to 10.94 and it won't let me change the full name in the account information box in mail. We each have individual names associates with the same emaIL ADDRESS on the four different computers. How can I change it on my new Mac?
Thanks!

They they will have to have their own iCloud account.
You could create aliases to the original email at the iCloud.com page under Mail. For example if your primary email name is
[email protected] you can have up to 3 aliases to that account.
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
In each of the other accounts you can set the appropriate alias to be the default email address to use.

Problem: Original Attachment Name from SOAP Sender changes to attachment-1

Hi everybody,
we have a scenario where a SOAP sender receives a xml message describing several documents. Each document has a mime type and a file name, size, md5 checksums etc as attributes.
The documents are send as attachments with the same Web service in SWA(SOAP with attachment style).
The web service calls an ABAP proxy provider class in a R/3 backend.
The ABAP proxy class will save the attached documents for further processing and must use the original document names.
At the soap communication channel monitoring(Java Stack) we still see the original attachment names in the message content tab.
At the Integration Server(sxmb_moni) the attachment name changes to attachment-1, attachment-2 and so on.
Using the method
IF_AI_ATTACHMENT ->GET_DOCUMENT_NAME
in the provider ABAP proxy class returns the name attachment-1.
We can see that there is a mapping of the new attachment-1 name to the old, original name in the manifest section of this message on the Integration server.
Is there a way to access the manifest section at a provider ABAP proxy class? Or otherwise a PI configuration setting to preserve the original attachment names.
Thanks a lot,
Heiko
=> PI 7.1 SP9

Hi Stefan,
(I was hoping you would find that thread ...)
I see a good reason why the attachment names are changed as the PI message protocol sends the main document as an attachment as well. So no problem with that because the information of the mapping old to new names still exists in the manifest part and is visible at the sxmb_moni.
We see a manifest part like this (Sorry cant post the whole xml doc as the formatting for longer messages isn't working in the forum)
<SAP:Payload xlink:href="cid:4cc43edd-839f-423f-b7c6-7e44294d663a_sig.p7m">
<SAP:Name>attachment-1</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Description>attachment</SAP:Description>
<SAP:Type>ApplicationAttachment</SAP:Type>
</SAP:Payload>
The (red) cid entry is the original file name. This manifest is from the sxmb_moni in the r/3 backend. So all the information is there.. The question is how to retrieve this information .. Any idea?
Best Regards,
Heiko Bergmann

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.

Me32K - Need to change the mail subject line, attachment name

Hi,
can u please throw light on the below three points which needs to be achieved.
1. Subject line of the mail needs to be modified from standard to "PO# XXXXXXXXXX".
2. Attachment name should be updated from stanadrd to "PO_XXXXXXXXXX".
3. Also by default mail will be delivered to the default id, but it should be delivered to multiple mail ids maintained in the vendor master.
I should achieve the above by user exits or by Zprogram copying from th standard.
Please advise me.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Kiran

check in Tcode: NACE, what is the current driver program and form against your document type.
and then change accordingly

Mail Changing Attachment Names

Does anyone find that their Mac Mail changes attachment names into something like ??Q?documentname?=? so you are unable to open them unless you rename and save?
I think I have narrowed it down to only happening with attachments that have a long(ish!) filename. It only happens when a Mac computer recieves. Doesn't matter if a Mac or Windows machine sends the mail.
Any help appreciated as 50% of my attachments are coming through in this format. V frustrating!

Are you sure your RECEIVING email client isn't doing the conversion?
Thank you for the help.
It wasn't actually the email client at the other end, but rather a third-party photo app on my iPad - Photogene.
I had been sending the screenshot as an email attachment from within Photogene. It seems that this app was converting it to the JPEG format. When I simply chose the image from the Camera Roll - directly in the Mail app - the PNG format was kept.
Thanks again.

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
Regards,
Sreeramulu Konjeti.

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

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).

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
