Infrastructure required for Mail Adapter

Hi Experts,
I need to work on a Mail Adapter B2C scenario where XI sends emails to the client with XML file as attachements.
Questions:
1. What is the additional hardware infrastructure required to use the Mail adapter apart from the SAP XI server.
2. How can the mails be archived somewhere, in case I do not want to store them in my inbox-->sent items folder.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Shobhit

as for my knowledge is concerned...
there are no more requirements ...
but check the firewall issue.....and know what is the version and service pack u are using...
and check wether u require sender,receiver addresses and subject required in the mail...if go with mail package check box in the mail adapter..
check wether mails are to be sent to two or more receivers...if semicolon( will do to separate them.
and check wether SLD is done proper or not bcoz,even i was right in my scenario and there was an issues in SLD and i traced it after few days...where i delayed my work..
hmm.....if any i will get back to u shobit....

System requirement for Local adapter engine installation

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement here where we are planning to install local plain J2SE adapter engine on various third party systems to pass the data from those systems to the PI system through http. Please can you let me know what are the requirements on the system to install local plain J2SE adapter on it in terms of memory, disc space, etc.
thanks.

Hmm. 100 MB disk space is required for the J2SE adapter engine installation.
Memory depends on your scenario requirement. But in general a 1 GB RAM is sufficient.

Modules for mail adapter

I want to remove attachments from the emails i send out of PI,
is there any modules for this purpose?
by default if i chck: msg protocol as XIALL i get entire messge as an attachment, even if i select XIPAYLOAD i get the payload as an attachment,
i only want to have the body and not the attachment.
Is there any adapter module readily available to remove attachments from emails?

i only want to have the body and not the attachment.
Choose these in your Receiver Mail Adapter:
Message Protocol :XIPAYLOAD
Check Use Mail Package
enter the appropriate URL
No need to check other options...
Using this you cannot enter From, To, Subject and other such fields in the channel....these should be configured in the mapping.....unless it is Parameterized mapping (applicable only to SAP PI7.1)

Abhishek.

XSLT Mapping with Dynamic Configuration for Mail Adapter

Hi Guys,
I am wondering if somebody can help me please.
I have a requirement in which I need to pick up the file from FTP and email it to the user as an attachment with the same file name and content.
I know it is possible via 3 method either by deploying adapter module or via XSLT or JAVA Mapping.
I preferred XSLT Mapping because it is easier to use and we don't need to compile the code like JAVA Mapping.
I have done the XSLT Mapping but the only problem I am facing is that how to copy the file name which we get it from Dynamic Configuration to the Mail ContentDisposition.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:map="java:java.util.Map"
xmlns:dyn="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfiguration"
xmlns:key="java:com.sap.aii.mapping.api.DynamicConfigurationKey">
<xsl:output indent="no" />
<xsl:param name="inputparam"/>
<xsl:template match="/">

    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-conf"
        select="map:get($inputparam, 'DynamicConfiguration')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-key"
        select="key:create('http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File', 'FileName')" />
    <xsl:variable name="dynamic-value"
        select="dyn:get($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key)" />
    <xsl:variable name="dummy"
        select="dyn:put($dynamic-conf, $dynamic-key, $new-value)" />
    
I tried many option but unfortunately none of them worked.
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$inputparam"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-conf"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-key"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dynamic-value"</Content_Disposition>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="$dummy"</Content_Disposition>
         <Content_Disposition>
            attachment;filename=
            <xsl:value-of select="dynamic-key"/>
         </Content_Disposition>
I really appreciate if someone can please provide some guidance.
Thanks,

Hi,
Yes u r correct it will show error in operation mapping.. bcoz u cannot check the DynamicConfiguration in Operation mapping...
It will throw Exception..
The parameter to UDF depends on ur requirement.... Let us know ur requirements exactly...
If u r doing for file to file means no UDF required,, just check ASMA on both sides....

Attachments for mail adapter?

Hello everybody,
I've seen that XI 3.0 provides a file adapter. Has anyone experiences with this adapter? I'm looking for information if it's possible to send and receive the XML message content as attachment.
Thanks in advance
Björn

Hi Mohit,
Follow this blog for the ID configuration:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4383
Create Receiver Determination and Interface Determination as described, and add a sender file CC and receiver mail CC according to your needs, plus sender and receiver agreements.
In order to maintain the original file names, use a simple adapter module with the code mentioned here:

Hope this helps,

Is a record ID field required for File Adapter (Header, Body, Trailer)?

Hi,
File to File scenario. The sender file is a text file i.e. .txt which needs a conversion on the sender file adapter. There are three structures in the file namely header (one), body (many) and Trailer (one). From what I can see I need a record Id field (with the same name) in all the structure types, can anyone confirm this for me?
Thanks,
Leanne

That is correct. If you have a variable number of records of a particular type, then you need a way to accurately identify each type of record... and that is done via the key field (or Record ID) which is present in each record type.
Extract from SAP Online Help:
<i>Key Field Name
If you specified a variable number of substructures for Recordset Structure, in other words, at least one substructure has the value *, then the substructures must be identified by the parser from their content. A key field must be set with different constants for the substructures. In this case, you must specify a key field, and the field name must occur in all substructures.
Specify the Key Field Type to be used to compare the predefined values. This entry is used if the key field name is defined.
NameA.keyFieldValue: Specify the value of the key field for the structure. This entry is mandatory if the key field name is set. Otherwise, the entry is ignored.</i>
For more info, refer to the SAP Help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/181077dd7d6b4ea6a8029b20bf7e55/frameset.htm

How to remove a Attachment in Module for Mail Adapter

Hi together,
we are trying to remove a Mail Attachment within a outgoing Mail with the help of a new Module executed by the Mailadapter. Since we are using the XI 3.0, we are trying to do that by this statements:
      Message msg = (Message)inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
      Iterator it = msg.getAttachmentIterator();
      Payload payload;
      do
            payload = (Payload)it.next();
            if(payload.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("MailMessage"))
                  it.remove();
      }while(it.hasNext()); ...
The statement "it.remove" doesn't work.
Does anyone have an idea, how we can remove the attachment?
Thanks & Regards
    Thomas

I am sorry, the adapter module API does not support the removal of an attachment.
Regards
Stefan

1. There is nothing to be done on IR side.
Correct
2. In ID, I have to configure a sender mail adpater with correct email address and dummy Interface and namespace. Please do let me know if i have to use payloadswapbean and messagetransformation bean in the module configuration.
Use only payloadSwapBean
3. Also, have to configure a reciever file adpater. Can I use FTP or I have to use NFS only ?
U may use any of them.
4. Complete the rest of the steps in ID like RD,ID,SA,and RA.
Correct
Please confirm if the mail attachement will remain in txt format only and hope it works .
Actually that is the logical solution. I couldnt get time to check it on my own server. So we shud try n hope for the best.

Password required for Mail?

I open up my Mail icon, and a window pops up that says, Cannot Send Mail, no password provided for user (my email address) of server (my server address).
Please go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password.
Question-How do I go to Mail Account Settings and enter a password? I cannot find this area?
Please help, and thank you in advance for your consideration.
iPhone Windows XP

maniac,
are you talking about the settings on the iphone or settings in itunes or mail? When you say "go back up into user name box and make a change", what kind of change are you talking about?
My issue is similar: I cannot send mail from my POP account (.mac works fine), and the error "address was rejected by the server" showed up each time, and the password field in SMTP on iPhone keeps reverting back to "Optional" no matter how many times I enter it, save it, whatever.
I spent an hour with Apple last week. The tech had me do a software restore, and advised me NOT to sync my mail. This worked.
While this is a good workaround (I got it to work), this is in the longer term unacceptable as it's a pain in the butt to delete mail (no group select of mail???) from the iPhone.
But I'd like to know more about this workaround you mention.

Dns setting require for mail server 2013

Hello Support,
I have install exchange server 2013 and working fine but right now i have some change in DNS server record and my mail services stop. what record add to start my mail services ( sent and received). till now exchange server mail box give the error mail not
connected with server. Please revered ASAP.

couple of things to notice. if you saying your exchange services stopped... this wont happen because of DNS or are you saying you exchange is not working/mail flow.
now i would suggest to quickly check the mail services. run a test for inbound and outbound at exrca.com there you will have the proper answer that what you have missed.
and at last.. for DNS.. you need MX and A record for your email server for basic functioning .. and for autodiscover couple of more. lets verify the MX and A record first and then verify the send and receive connector. to verify MX do a Nslookup as below
>cmd
>nsloookup   {This should resolve to your local DNS if you running this from exchange server, which is recommended and should not time out}
>set type=mx
> your-domain.com {This should result "A" record / FQDN of your mail server}
> set type=A {To verify the above FQDN should point to right IP}
> mail.your-domain.com [assuming that in MX output you got mail-your-domain.com]
> 1.1.1.1 [IP of your email server]
if you are able to verify above then your chances are you dont have issue with DNS.
Make sure from oursite you are able to telnet t tour exchange server on port 25 and from inside you are able to resolve names from your exchange server and also have internet access.if you able to verify till this point then its the turn now to verify send
and receive connector. one easy way is exrca.com and then share the results.
to verify if your exchange is configured properly please follow this link.

MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID
Thanks

Mail adapter scenario

Hi
I require some input on including a mail adapter to an existing scenario
The scenarios is as follows,
I have to create some files around 20 and place them in two folders , that build has been done and tested , so I have a multi mapping , for those 20 files , and enhanced interface determination and is working fine
Now a new requirement is to send an email ,
kindly tell me the steps in IR and ID to include the mail adapter in this interface ??
considering it as an additional feature, nthing to do with Files ,,,
which means that an email adapter has to be called with the file adapters ( not before not after....the precedence doesnt matter )
its just that along with creating the files an email has to be sent ... thats all
I want to know what am i required to create :
in IR : is there a separate interface required .. smthing to do in mapping also ? i am presuming not since it is inbound
in ID : can i create a dummy busines service and what all do i need to create ???
please help
thanks
Dev

Hi,
You create a message type for mail adapter and an message interface. You can also use the predefined message type from sap. So now in multimapping you add this message type and map from your source to this mail mapping. Add the same message interface in interface mapping.
Create a mail receiver communicaiton channel with your mailbox parameters. Then add this to your receiver determination. Also you need to create a receiver agreement for this one.
You can see some help here:
/people/prasad.ulagappan2/blog/2005/06/07/mail-adapter-scenarios-150-sap-exchange-infrastructure
You can do a search for more blogs and tutorials on mail adapter.
