Email attachment name in sender mail adapter to the receiver file adapter

HI ,
Ths is regarding email to file scenario. I am trying to create file (in rceiver file adapter) with the same name as the email attachment that i read from mail sender adapter. I want ro use adapter module for this. I could find from blogs that there is module - GetAttachmentName - available that i can use for this in sender mail adapter.
Can you please let me know what whetehr i neeed to mention any module key and parameters for this.
I assume , i need to do following steps :Please confirm.
1. i can use this module - after payload swap module and before standard mail adapter module in sender mail adapter
2. select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
3. In receiver file adapter select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
4. Also select file name option in ASMA in sender mail adapter
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
your scenario is also described here: Re: sender mail adapter - attachment name
If you use the Module getAttachmentName, which is described here,
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
your scenario should work as you described it.
You just need to make sure that the Attachment Name that you read in the first place, is mapped to the Filename Attribute of the
Fileadapter (http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName).
regards,
Daniel

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.

Archiving files in the Receiver File Adapter

Hi All,
I am trying to archive the file created in the Receiver File adapter. Reading from the link below,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
I gave the command cp %F <target dir> in the Command Line of "Run Operating System Command After Message Processing". As well as I tried cmd.exe copy %f <target file>
But it does not work. Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks
Shivanjali

Hi Aamir,
For my case its not feasible to make a bat file...
I want to write a direct OS command in adapter only.
Do you know what is the basic difference for running OS command before processing and after processing.
In my opinion if i use a OS command after file processing then it ll take a file name with timestamp so there may be a problem...
thanks

How to create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Comm Ch

How do I create an Excel file from XML in the Receiver File Adapter Communication Channel? I have my mapping done and I am outputting the file as a comma delimited csv file. However, the target can only process an Excel file (.xls). How can I generate an Excel in XI?
I saw this blog, but I don't know how to create a XSLT transformation.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/10/xi-generating-excel-files-without-the-java-nor-the-conversion-agent-not-possible
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Here are the steps I took to create an XSLT transformation in XI 3.0:
1. I created my source and target XSDs using XMLSpy.
2. I created the XSLT mapping from source to target in XMLSpy (referencing the souce XSD schema).
3. I created another XSLT mapping to format the target into Excel XML.
4. Import the source and target XSDs in the IR's External Definitions
5. Zip each XSLT mapping (.xls) and import it into the IR's Imported Archives
6. Reference the XSL mappings in the Interface Mapping

Repeating structure through the receiver file adapter

I wanted to ask wheter it is possible to create repeating structure through the SAP xi receiver file adapter. What I'm trying to accomplish is this:
Item1
Item2
Item1
Item2
(variable number of times).
I can accomplish the following:
Item1
Item1
Item2
Item2
What I could do is have the Item1 and Item2 fields in the same segment in the design time, but this would mean the file adapter would write all the items on a single line instead of two.
There is no way to define line breaks between the the receiver file adapter field parameters ?
There is no way to support nested structures in the recordset definition ie. Item1.Item2 ?

Henri,
What Vishal means is following:
Add sequences of the tag <recordset> between pairs of item1, item2:
<documentName>
 <recordset>
 <item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 </item1>
 <item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 </item2>
 </recordset>
 <recordset>
 <item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 <field-item1>column-value</field-item1>
 </item1>
 <item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 <field-item2>column-value</field-item2>
 </item2>
 </recordset>
</documentName>
A similar problem with header and items is in this thread:

Hi jain
Provide as below definitely it will work,
RecordSet Structure : batch,Line_Item,LineItem_String
batch.fieldSeparator --- 'nl'
Line_Item.fieldSeparator -
 'nl'
LineItem_String.fieldSeparator --- 'nl'
All your fields will come in a separate line.

Cretaing a new adapter using the existing file adapter

Hi,
Is it possible to create a new adapter type copying the existing file adapter. That is I want to create a new adapter type for example "FNFS" and use the same module callsapadapter which is used in the File adapter. So that this new adapter type "FNFS" functions like the File adapter,
What are the actions I need to perform to acheive this.
Thanks in advance.

what will be the significance of that?
I think if you need some extra functionality then Development of Custom Module is enough.

Conversion in the receiver file adapter channel

Hello all?
I am trying to implement an RFC to file integration scenario.
My source system is SAP R3 and the destination is an application implemented in Oracle and I don´t have the xsd format of this application.
With the mapping tool I was abble to find out the right structure of the xml destination but something is still wrong .
The xml destination that the XI has to generate is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ps-persistence version="8.12.1">
</ps-persistence>
But untill now we can only generate the follow xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns1:MT_PS xmlns:ns1="http://cobega.es/Numetrix">
</ns1:MT_PS>
==================================
How can I transform the generated xml in order to get the appropriate xml .
Thanks a lot for your reply

1. Create a Java Mapping that will do a replace of your tags.
2.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ps-persistence version="8.12.1">
</ps-persistence>
Create your own xsd in XML Spy or other XML editiors and use it in the mapping. Instead of your MT_PS

Keep attachments in receiver file adapter

Hello,
We receive via Abap proxy a txt file by attachment, and we need to archive that file in other machine using a receiver file adapter but the receiver file adapter doesn´t have any keep attachment option. How can we achieve that?
Thanks!
Luis

Yes, I thoug that was possible but in fact the attachment is intended to be something that should be not accessed from the integration server and so not mapped.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/b6/0b733cb7d61952e10000000a11405a/frameset.htm

Dynamic File name in Receiver File adapter

Hi,
My Scenario is Proxy to File.
I must create filename dynamically in the receiver file adapter by taking the sales order number and divison from the source.
How can i create a dynamic filename? i searched the forum, but i could not get the correct answer,
Please help me out.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
> My Scenario is Proxy to File.
> I must create filename dynamically in the receiver file adapter by taking the sales order number and divison from the source.
public String targetFileName(String Sono, String Div, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String MyFileName = sono + div + "<filename>"+".xml";
conf.put(key, MyFileName);
return MyFileName;
File name you can format according to your requirement.
And one more thing for this you have to specify the ASMA properties. For this check the below link step-1 and step-2.

Receiver file adapter with attachments.

Hi
I would like to pass a file receiver an attachment from a proxy. I have seen bits and pieces with attachments. I have read that its similar to the mail adapter.
In the module
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
module configuration:
Parameter Name: swap.keyName
Parameter Value: payload-name
Has anyone succeeded and would you explain the details?
Thanks in advance
Ian

Hi,
As far as I know, receiver file adapters do not supprt attachments.
You can use the payloadSwapBean to swap the attachment and the actual proxy payload and then send it to the file adapter.
Don't think it will be possible to send both the attachment and the payload to the receiver file adapter though.

Bhavesh

Change file extension in receiver file adapter

File to File Scenario
Posted: Sep 11, 2006 3:47 PM Reply E-mail this post
I am working on a File to File scenario.
Source System gives out a file: abc ( with no extension)
We need to archive it as: abc.done
And we need to send it to a FTP server ( receiver File adapter) as abc.txt.
How can I append a file extension when I archive and
how can I change the file extension in the receiver File adapter?
FYI, we are using XI as FTP server so I have created dummy message interface with no mapping.

Hi,
If I understood correctly once XI picks up the file it should be archieved as filename.doc and then it should be FTP'ed to a different location with a change in extension filename.txt.
1. To Archive in the sender communication channel you can use OS Commands after prosessing (>=SP14) to rename the file and archive it. Suggested write a batch file which will rename the file and call the batch file from the OS Command of the sender file adapter. You can either use Archive functionaliy of the Sender adapter or you can write one more command in batch file to move the file to different folder. Make sure you are using fullpath while writing batch file.
2. As said use dynamic configuration in a dummy mapping and then get the source file name and change the extension.

Dynamic Filename on Receiver File Adapter

Hi,
I am running XI 3.0 SP 14.
The scenario is
SAP R/3 (IDOC) > XI (Receiver File Adapter)> FTP Server
There is no mapping on the XI side, we just drop the IDOC XML on to the ftp server.
I would like to configure a dynamic file name on the Receiver File Adapter where if the 'MSATZ' Field
within the E1EPD04 segment of the IDOC is populated then I would like to send a separate
Filename than the one specified on the 'File Name Scheme'.
Has anybody done this or any suggestion how I should go about this please.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Ranjan

Hi Guys,
When I tried to create the User defined function as below, I got the Null value for the "StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION" object.
My code looks like this,(this is part of the debuging code)
Start
public String Create(String a,String b,Container container){
if (container.getTransformationParameters() == null)
return "conf.null";
if (container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION) == null)
return "Dynamic.null";
return b;
--End
On the output I get the value "Dynamic.null". I do not know why the object value is Null.
Any suggestion pls.
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Ranjan
