How to process attachments using an XI-Adapter

Hi together,
I have seen that there are a lot of problems processing attachments of XML messages in SAP XI 7.0. Unfortunately I have the same problem by using an XI sender adapter.
My scenario is as follows:
I will get an PurchaseOrderRequest_Out out of SAP SRM directly transferred to SAP XI. Within the XI only the attachments should be send via mail to the receiver system, the main document is only necessary for generating the text of the mail.
I have seen that a solution should be to write an custom adapter module which converts the attachments into base64 encoding and put them into a tag of the main document. This should give the possibility to have access to the content in e.g. java mapping.
Sadly I'm not that much experienced in the development of custom adapter modules. Maybe someone of you guys has done it and could be so kind and provide me some code snippets how this could be done.
Thanks a lot for your support.
Best Regards.

The answer is to either add additional J2EE server nodes to your PI/XI instance or add additional Business Services and configure addition Comms channels for these

How to filter emails using sender email adapter

Hi,
Does any one know how to filter emails of mail server using Sender email adapter(POP3 protocol ) in PI .
To make it more clear let us assume that there are 10 emails in the email server then 3 emails should be fetched for Interface A , 3 emails Should be fetched for Interface B and remaining 4 emails should be ignored and left in the email server as it is , the reason for this is that it is not related with the Interface A or Interface B. Any suggestion or solution will be much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards
Prabhat

Hi,
I guess you didnt get my requirement clearly. My requirement is how to filter emails from email server using sender Email adapter in POP3 protocl and pass it to relevant Interface.
For ex: suppose email no.1 is related to Interface A then it should go to Interface A
or email no. 2 is related to Interface B then it should go to Interface B
or if email no. 3 is junk mail then it should avoid deleting that email and leave that email as it is
The problem/challenge here is that email adapter of Interface A or B reads it first and deletes the email message so it is not available for the Interface A or B.
So I just want that sender email adapter should filter it before deleting email from the email server.
Can you provide some solution for this?
Thanks & Regards

How to send attachments using java application and outlook

Hi ,
I created an application in java which is as
on the Conference Tab i can schedule a conference and with the send command on page it map all the scheduled data to outlook(with all conference details) and using outlook send option the mails are send to appropriate user.
but now i want to modify this application such as when i use the send command from my jsp page it should attach the file that is in .vcs or .ics format for auto updation of user calender.
can any one know how to send attachment using java application .

Last time I checked, SMS was a service between carriers and doing SMS yourself was really tricky. Some services existed to let you do it but as I recall they wanted non-trivial money.
However, most phone carriers provide an email-to-SMS bridge of some kind.
So the easiest thing is just to send an email.
That's sending from a non-phone to a phone. There's a J2ME library to send/receive SMS from/to a phone.
However, this is from memory, and a little out of date, so I could be entirely wrong. Hope it helps anyway.

Process attachments with sender email adapter

Hi @ all,
I have some problems dealing with xml attachments on emails. I configured the email sender adapter by using Michals Blog
<a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step:///people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
Unfortunately the mail header looks different as the one in the blog:
<b>Content-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;name="[email protected]"
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.bin"
Content-Description: MailAttachment-1</b>
What can I do to make it look like in the blog?
thanks and Regards.

How to process validations using PL/SQL function

Hi.
I created a page with a form to process DML operations against a database table. Also created a validation using PL/SQL function that returns a boolean value:
declare
v_dummy varchar2(1)
begin
select 'X'
into v_dummy
from s_customer
where id = :p2_id;
return (TRUE);
exception
when no_data_found then
return (FALSE);
when others
return (TRUE);
end;
In this case i want to send a message to the user indicating that an certain row (the one with :p2_id value) already exists in the database. The piece of code above will do the job. If this function returns true, it means the row is in the DB already.
The problem is that i donÂ´t know what do to or how to tell htmldb that a TRUE value should issue a message or be processed as en error, whilst a FALSE means OK.
How do i tell htmldb what to do?
Suppose must do something with "expression 1" , "expression 2", etc.
Any ideas???

HÃ³la LuÃs,
when you pick the PL/SQL function body returning a boolean, it implicitly means that TRUE means OK, while FALSE means error, always.
In order to associate such error to a given form field, you have to go back to the page definiton / validations and specify the name of the item in the corresponding field.
When you first create the validation rule, this value is not present even if you ask for the error message inline with the field.
The error message text can be specified in the validation definition, if I am not wrong.
When you need to return special error messages, including dynamic content for instance, you can use the Function Returning Error Message type, which reports an error when the string returned by the function is not null. This comes in handy when you want to display an item's code, for example, rather than generic text.
Even in this case, you must go back to the validation and specify the name of the field if you want to see it inline.
Hope it helps,
Flavio

XI 3.0 - How to increase performance using TibCo JMS Adapter...

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea if/which properties can be modified to improve the polling interval of the JMS adapter for Tibco?
Another forum message mentioned a method called setPollingInterval, but this only seems to relate to MQ series.
I have tried options like creating multiple communiction channels pointing to the same non-exclusive queue, increasing the server node count (this improves pickup, but reduces overall throughput as the SLD data is no longer buffered).
I have also tried the method called "setConnAttemptDelay" on the com.tibco.tibjms.TibjmsQueueConnectionFactory class but this did no seem to help.
Any suggestions please?
thanks
Brian

The answer is to either add additional J2EE server nodes to your PI/XI instance or add additional Business Services and configure addition Comms channels for these

Hi All,
I want to process files which have attachments using File Adapter.
Is it possible to process such files?
May be using standard modules?

Using Attachments in the Email Adapter

Hi,
I'm using an email adapter(Sender - XIPayload) to send message to XI. It was working fine when my mail content was the XML messsage. But now i have to use the content of an attachment file to do the mapping. The attachment is an XML file. I have checked the Keep attachments option and now i can see that the payload contains two sections. One is the mail content and the attachment content. But the mapping fails. How can i specify that the content of the attachment is to be used for mapping? Can somebody give some inputs on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
To use attachments in mail adapter, just do the following things:
- Set the Keep Attachments indicator.
- And you use the PayloadSwapBean module to swap the application payload with one of the attachments.
Please also go thru the following links:

How to deal Inhouse files using Seeburger AS2 adapter...!!!

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to configure the Seeburger AS2 adapter for XI successfully to process multiple inbound message types.
We have an issue here with inbound messages being received by the AS2 adapter. We currently have it configured for inbound deliveries(Which deals with EDI files) which is working fine. The issue is that we would now like to send other messages as well. It seems the AS2 adapter only looks at the sender/receiver party combination to determine the correct sender agreement, but does not look at the message type which is a limitation. I have heard mention of a splitter module which can be used to distinguish between different messages and pass them to the correct sender agreement for processing, information on this is thin on the ground to non existent.
I have few custom Inhouse files where i need to recieve through AS2 adapter.
I need to differentiate the messages hitting to my communication channel.
ex:
1st message will be having
HDR PICKS
2nd message will be having
HDR PURCH
so based on the second field which has "PICKS" or "PURCH" , i need to pass the message to run the corresponding map.
How i need to configure to acheive these kind of custom Inhouse files through AS2 adapter??
Do i need to use splitter for these as well?? If yes how i need to use?
Is there any setting we can make at Sender AS2 adapter to differentiate each message??
Waiting for the answers.
Kindly reply if anyone knows.
Thanks&Regards
Seema.

Hi,
i have setup a scenario with edifact (different message types) using as2.
first i had to create a mapping using bic.
edifact_xxxx
in: edifact_service
out: functional acknowledgement.
in the mapping code i adjusted the called mapping, standard it will use see* changed it to e2x* (custom mapping)
in your case using flatfiles maybe you should take a look at the VDA structure, these files are also defined under inhouse.
when you define a input file adapter are you getting a classifier message?
like
<classifier><type>Edifact</type><classifierMappingID>XXXX</classifierMappingID><encoding>US-ASCII</encoding><additionalIdentifier></additionalIdentifier></classifier>

BPEL Process with multiple file types using one FTP adapter is not working

i created a bpel process which will fetch the files from remote location using FTP adapter.
Now the process works for only one format or file type like *.xls.
How can i use more than one file format in one FTP adapter.
OR
is there any other way to do it.
file type assignation is 5th step in FTP adapter configuration.
i have tried *.xls,*.csv and *.xls;*.csv and *.xls:*.csv by seperating with comman, colon, space... still not working.
i read the documentation *.* will not work.. for one file format it's working fine.
looking forward for reply as soon as possible.

Are you positive that it is not working? I'm not sure how you can use one FTP adapter for multiple file types unless the underlying data is exactly the same format or you are processing it as opaque data. Sometimes when a FTP adapter chokes on a file with a bad structure it doesn't create a BPEL instance, it simply moves the bad file to a separate folder.
So I assume you are using opaque as the data type instead of using an XSD element?
That said, I don't think you can put two separate file types in the filter. Is it possible for you to do something like: CommonFileName*.* or do you have similar files with other extensions?
I know the above probably isn't of much help, but I had so many problems with the FTP adapter and its lack of features that I am writing my own. Unfortunately that is a large undertaking and there isn't any good documentation of JCA resource adapter / BPEL PM integration.

Please note that record types 8 and 9 have 2 fixed fields.
I have tried playing around with the File Adapter and the ESB but not having much luck. Can someone provide any suggestions on how I can handle this?

James,
Thanks for your prompt response. I have come across your post previously.
Please excuse my in-experience (very new to SOA and Oracle SOA Suite) but i have not understood how your post regarding the manual creation of an XSD will assist with my problem. Could you possibly further elaborate on the overall approach i should be taking?

Simon
