Filename in Attachement payload

Hy,
I have to detach an email attachement on my file System.
That's works but I'm not able to maintain the same filename.
Can anybody help me.
Thanks
Mat

Hi Mattia,
If your file name is a part of your email atttachment ( the payload ), then you can dynamically create your file name.
To do this,in the filename of the receiver file adapter, give the filename a <b>%var%</b>.
Anything between % is treated as a varibale by XI. Now, under variable name substitution, you will have to give the value of var and this will act as the filename.
You can access the payload using <b>payload:</b> and the XPATH.
For info on how to do this, check the topic<b> VARIABLE SUBSTITUTION</b> in this link.

Get Filename from attachements payload

hallo,
I receive email with attachement.I would like store the attachements on the file system (with a receiver File Adapter) with the same name.
Could someone give a tipps.
Thanks a lot
Mat

Hi,
Option 1: Use the Module Processor code in the Mail Adapter and get the file name and use it in the Receiver File Adapter as a variable substitution.
Option 2: Use java Proxy to invoke the MailBox and detach the attachment and construct the XML message and send into XI.
Hope this helps..

Processing the filename in the payload

Hi,
I am getting the filename in the payload, I want to read that file.
How do I achieve this..
Regards,
Varun

Hi,
For Example if we want to get the Input file name & Directory Details into Target message.
Ex:
I/P File name is :::::231004.xml Ftp Serve Path : //xideveloper/Test_XI/PO
O/P File name can be :::Any thing
Input File : 231004.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_TEST_AGCO xmlns:ns0="http://tafe.test.com">
   <Header>
      <NAME>giri</NAME>
   </Header>
</ns0:MT_TEST_AGCO>
Output File : Out.xml
Here in this output we are able to get the Filename & Directory Info in the FileName_1 Field.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_target xmlns:ns0="http://test.com">
- <Header>
<Name_1>giri</Name_1>
<File_Name_1>231004.xml //xideveloper/Test_XI/PO/</File_Name_1>
</Header>
</ns0:MT_target>
You should capture the Source File name & Directory Info into Target Message.
1)     Write One UDF & Map Like Constant(u201Cu201D)---UDF----FileName_1
2)            In Advanced mode check the check box Set Adapter-Specific Attributes
3)     Check the ASMA Parameters in Sender Adapter Alone
4)             No need to check the check box ASMA in the receiver side
UDF Code:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
//for getting filename
DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
//for getting directory
DynamicConfigurationKey key2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
/similarly for getting filetype, filesize you need to specify in the above code instead of filename or directory/
String FileName = conf.get(key1);
String Directory = conf.get(key2);
String Cat = FileName+ " "+Directory;
//return FileName;
//return Directory;
return Cat;

Mail receiver adapter: change filename of attachment to number in payload.

Dear experts,
I want to send out Purchase Orders from XI to a email address. The XI message containing the Purchase Order is sent as an attachment to a email to the supplier. However, the filename of the attachment needs to unique. Preferably the PO number which is in the file content.
Can anybody help me out with how to accomplish this?
My current settings are:
Transport protocol: SMTP
Message Protocol: XIPAYLOAD
Not using mail package
Keeping attachments.
Using: MessageTransformBean
Transform.ContentDisposition --> attachment;filename="testing.xml"
Please tell me how to dynamically change the "testing.xml" part!
Thanks in advance,
*will reward points if helpful

Thanks Prateek!
This is what I was looking for.
Can you please do me one more favour?
How to include this code in the module? I have been looking on help.sap.com but only found to be able to do this in PCK. Is this correct?
How can I use the code?
Thanks in advance.

Accessing the filename in the payload

Hii
I want to process the filename (eg:sample.xml) from the payload of the message.
<Message>
      <Method/>
      <Source>sample.xml</Source>
      <Target/>
   </Message>
And use the filename in other scenario.
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun
Use variable substitution
File name : %FileName%
Enable variable substitution in Receiver File adapter.
Variable name = FileName
Reference = payload:Message,1,Method,1,Source,1

Sender filename in receiver payload without using mapping.

hi Experts,
I have a File to RFC scenario. wherein i need to pass source filename and filepath as parameter to RFC whenever file arrives at source directory.
I am not using IR contents. What could be the simplest way to achieve this.
One way ofcourse is to write an adapter module to generate Receiver payload with the required information.
Can we have even more easier way to achieve this. Can something be done in Content conversion to get the receiver xml payload with filename and filepath?
Regards,
Girish

Hi Girish
You can use IR mapping for a binary source data, but it must be a Java class, not an abap or graphical mapping.

Filename extension in Payload Swap bean

Hi Experts
I have a scenario Proxy to FTPS , where I have to send an excel attachment. I have used payload swap bean in receiver channel and it is working fine as I am now able to see attachment in final destination folder however since the file name is coming from ECC and we are using dynamic configuration in PI to handle this. excel attachment is missing the extention .xls when it is being triggered from ECC and therefore in FTP folder file is getting generated but with no extention.
I have added the extention .xls (as per the MIME header) in dynamic config and also tried to use concat function to achieve this extention to be added as final name of the file but when I did above adjustments I can see the correct name being generated in Main payload in SAP PI receiver channel monitoring but not in final destination folder, file still looks same as earlier (without any extention) , I believe since I am using payloadswapbean in module whatever I am getting in Mainpayload is being swapped by excel attachment values but not sure why the correct extention is not being shown up at final destination folders.
Please suggest how can I get the correct file name in destination folder with the help of SAP PI, I know I can do this if ECC will add .xls in attachment name.

Hi Mohit,
I have tested the same scenario and it is working with PayloadSwapBean and DynamicConfiguration in the mapping and the file name correctly placed in the target.
Receiver File CC:
Dynamic Configuration:
Target Directory:
If your file name correctly set in dynamic configuration then the target file will be created correctly.

Show originally filename in attachment list (generic object services)

Hello everybody,
does anybody know, if it is possible to show the originally filename of a document in the attachment list of generic object services?
If I add more than one document for the same document type in generic object services, I'm not able to distinguish the documents.
When I want to save an attachment to local PC, SAP offers me the originally filename as default. Therefore, the filename has to be saved somewhere...
Thanks for any help or ideas in advance,
Peter

Richard,
Your using the wrong object, I don't have access to an SAP system right now, so I can't tell you what the correct object is, but when it's configured correctly in OAC3 it will not be grey out. Best thing to do it see what the object the program is publishing. This is what GOS is looking for. IFARCH21 is not the answer, unless your using workflow

Mail-Adapter adds ".bin" to filename of attachment

Hi!
I'm sending mails with a dynamic generated filename using the mail-adapter and mail-package. The file extension of the attachment should be ".txt" and the content-type should be "application/EDIFACT"
When I change the content-type of the attachment in my adapter module by
TextPayload attachment = msg.createTextPayload();
attachment.setName("something_dynamically_generated.txt");
attachment.setContentType("application/EDIFACT");
The content-type is changed properly, but the file extension ".bin" is added.
The result is in my example:
something_dynamically_generated.txt.bin
How can I stop XI from extending my filename?
I tried with the MessageTransformBean, but it had no effect.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Sudharshan,
we upgraded from SP15 to SP18, then the problem occured no more.
I created the attachment in an adapter-module for the mail adapter. Sample code:
TextPayload attachment = msg.createTextPayload();
attachment.setContentType("Application/EDIFACT");
attachment.setName("SomethingDynamicallyGenerated.txt");
attachment.setText(string_which_contains_the_new_payload);
msg.addAttachment(attachment);
It seems that the mail adapter checks now if a filename extension is given. If this is the case, it adds no extension by itself.
I tested different configurations like mail package and variable transportbinding / adapterspecific attributes, it worked every time.
Best regards,
Daniel

Changing filename of attachment using GOS

Hi Gurus ,
I am in the middle of the technical issue related to the GOS_EXECUTE_SERVICE function module.
Everything is working fine but when i am attaching a file from my pc, it's taking the filename as it is. it sounds good.
But here comes the problem, i have a requirement of adding the filename starting with a common name.
Suppose i have attached a file and it's name is abc.pdf but i want to display it as zbp_abc.pdf.
Thanks and Regards.
Dhananjay

Hi Himanshu,
Thanks for your first reply
I have used this function module.
CONCATENATE ls_final-pernr ls_final-reinr INTO
         ls_object-objkey.
         ls_object-objtype = 'BUS2089'.
         CALL FUNCTION 'GOS_EXECUTE_SERVICE'
           EXPORTING
             ip_service           = 'VIEW_ATTA'
             is_object            = ls_object
             ip_no_commit         = ' '
             ip_popup             = 'X'
             ip_rwmod             = 'E'
*           IT_SERVICE_SELECTION =
*           IP_VSI_PROFILE       =
           IMPORTING
             ep_event             = lp_event
             ep_status            = lp_status
             ep_icon              = lp_icon
             ep_message           = lp_message
           EXCEPTIONS
             execution_failed     = 1
             OTHERS               = 2.
It's working great. but i want to add a prefix before the file name. means after saving the file it must look like tv_abc.pdf and not like abc.pdf.
But file which i have selected from desktop is abc.pdf and after attaching it looks like tv_abc.pdf on screen.
Thanks in advance.

Dhananjay

Filename of Attachment in Mail

Hi,
We have a scenario in which a mail with body and attachment (an excel sheet) has to be sent.
We have configured MessageTransformBean and PayloadSwapBean to manage this. However, we are getting both files as attachments and there is no mail body.
Moreover, we would also like to have filename with timestamp attached to it.
Please provide your inputs at the earliest. Helpful answers would be surely awarded with points.
Thanks,

Outgoing email that features both a body text and an attached payload.

Hi All,
I am searching for a way to create an outgoing email that features both a body text and a payload that is sent as an attachment.
I am not using Mail package.Is there any way to achieve the same.
Thanks
Nidhi

Thanks Abhishek,
I have gone through the blog suggested by you.
My scenario is little different.I am not using mail package & I am doing content conversion on the file at receiver mail adapter side using TransformBean module.
Without using standard mail package,is it possible to achieve the requirement.
Thanks for your help

Fail read filename from attachment in multipart message

Hi,
I use Javamail 1.4 for reading mail from imap server.
Sometimes i have received mail with this header (this mail was produced with thunderbird):
--------------040307090809070400040607
Content-Type: application/pdf;
name*0="20060908 - DOCUMENT.pdf"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline;
filename*0="20060908 - DOCUMENT.pdf"
When i use the method part.getFileName() the result is null.
Why?
Thanks all.

Interesting. What version of Thunderbird?
These headers are using a feature of RFC 2231 that allows
a parameter in a header to be split over multiple lines.
In this particular case, there's no need to use this feature
since clearly these parameters are short enough to fit on
one line.
While JavaMail supports part of RFC 2231 - the part that
allows parameters to be encoded - it doesn't support this
aspect of RFC 2231.
I would suggest reporting this as a "bug" in Thunderbird, that
it's gratuitously using this new feature in cases where it's not
needed, and thus reducing interoperability with other mailers
that don't support this feature.

Retrieval of attachment filename - receiver mail adapter

Hi,
I am using the mail adapter to receive an e-mail into PI. This e-mail has an attached CSV file.
First, I am using the PayloadSwapBean to swap the application playload to the attachment payload
Second, I am using the MessageTransformBean to transform the CSV file into an XML document
These are both working fine and the message is then passing into the relevant message mapping.
However, I would like to be able to use the attachment filename in the message mapping.
Can anyone advise how to do this for the mail adapter ?
I've done it loads of times for the file adapter but never the mail adapter (when using attachments) so I am a bit stumped.
Any advice greatly received.
Cheers
Colin.

Hi Progirl,
I want to dynamically set the name of attachment in receiver mail Communication Channel.
Example: IN__9907211000004_4048454000005_20081211_01000000002643
The first two numbers 9907211000004 & 4048454000005 I want to read it from the message
20081211 this is the date and
And againg this number 01000000002643 is read from message.
I read from your response. You had created adapter module for the similar purpose. Can you share it. Since I am new to writing Adapter Module.
Thank You in Advance.

File-to-Mail attachment without manipulating the payload

Hello, I have a requirement to pick a file from a file server and send it to receiver as an email attachment as-is. The key is that the system should not read the contents of the file (payload). I'm unsure how to go about this! Any help in this regard is appreciated! Thanks!

I created a Java bean to read the file name available in Adapter-Specific Message Attribute (ASMA) and set it in the payload content type. Here is the code to be put in the process() method in the Java Bean:
                        String fileName;
               Message msg = (Message) inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
               Payload payload = msg.getDocument();
                    MessagePropertyKey mpk = null;
                    mpk = new MessagePropertyKey("FileName", "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File");
                    fileName = msg.getMessageProperty(mpk);
                         if(fileName == null) fileName="mytestfile.txt";
                         payload.setContentType("text/plain;charset = \"UTF-ISO-8859-1\";" + "name=\"" + fileName + "\"");
               inputModuleData.setPrincipalData(msg);
               } catch (Exception e) {
                    throw new ModuleException(e);
               return inputModuleData;
Thanks to all those that helped me addressing the issue.
