Issue with reading attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi, I am working on Email to file scenario, where I have to connect to exchange server and take the attachment of the email (xml file) and save it on to PI server. I have configured sender mail communication channel with following details:
Protocol: POP3
Message protocol: XIPAYLOAD
Mail attributes: keep attachments
Module:
1     localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean     Local Enterprise Bean     1
2     localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean     Local Enterprise Bean     mail
1     swap.keyName     Content-Description
1     swap.keyName     Content-Description
1     swap.keyValue     attachment,filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
1     swap.keyValue     MailAttachment-1
Also, configured receiver file adapter.
Since I donu2019t have to read mail content , I havenu2019t created any design components in ESR. I have just refrred to dummy namespace, interface (both sender and receiver). in receiver determination, interface determination, sender agreement and receiver agreements.
It was working fine, not sure what changes happened. Now I could see the attachment payload in message monitor.
Under Inbound message->payloads->
MailMessage ( text/xml;charset=utf-8 )
MailAttachment-1 ( text/xml;name="****************")
But the fille that is getting created doesnu2019t have the contents of the attachment (xml file) .  It has some other information, shown below:
Directory:  ******
Name:       ********.xml
      =NextPart_002_01CB2C5B.B033B325#
content-type:text/plain;charset="us-ascii"#
content-length:30#
content-transfer-encoding:quoted-printable#
<<**********.xml>>=20#
      =NextPart_002_01CB2C5B.B033B325#
content-type:text/html;charset="us-ascii"#
content-length:#
content-transfer-encoding:quoted-printable#
      =NextPart_002_01CB2C5B.B033B325  #
Can you please let me know what is going wrong here.

using following parameters in module resolved my problem:
MOdule name                                                                           Type                                                            Module Key
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean                                            Local Enterprise Bean                                      transform sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean     Local Enterprise Bean                                      mail
Module Key                                    Parameter Name                              Parameter value
transform                                        swap.keyName                                Payload-Name
transform                                        swap.keyName                                 MailAttachment-1

  • How to download / read  text attachment  in Sender Mail Adapter  IN XI

    Hi
    I would like to know how to download / read text attachment in sender mail Adapter & sent same attachment to target system using file adapter.
    Please help how to design / resolve this concept.

    I would like to know how to download / read text attachment in sender mail Adapter & sent same
    attachment to target system using file adapter.
    Take help from this blog:
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
    From the blog:
    However in most cases
    our message will not be a part of the e-mail's payload but will be sent as a file attachment.
    Can XI's mail adapter handle such scenarios? Sure it can but with a little help
    from the PayloadSwapBean adapter module
    Once your message (attachment) is read by the sender CC, you can perform the basic mapping requirement (if any) to convert the mail message fromat to the file format.....configure a receiver FILE CC and send the message...this should be the design...

  • Using header paramter SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH  in Sender mail adapter

    I am trying to check if an e-mail contains attachment in reciever determintion
    I set the Variable Header XHeaderName1 to be SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH
    in Sender mail adapter
    I added a condition in the receving determintation
    XHeaderName1 = yes
    I see the DynamicConfiguration tab in sxmb_moni and the value of SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH is "yes"
    but the message fails with the error
    No receiver could be determined
    any ideas?

    Hi,
    In Receiver determination you need to set SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH = yes instead of XHeaderName1.
    As far my understanding, in receiver determination you need to verify the condition with  SHeaderX-MS-HAS-ATTACH = yes (check with syntax also ie. case sensitive and all)
    Thanks

  • Dynamic file name of the attachment in sender mail adapter

    Hi
    I have configured a sender mail adapter which receives some attachments.
    Right now the file name of the attachment is hardcoded to "MailAttachment-1" "MailAttachment-2" using the content-description from "AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean" module.
    I want to set it to dynamic ie. instead of "MailAttachment-1"... i want it with real name of the attach.
    please suggest a solution w/o the need to develop a custom adapter module.
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Mariano.

    Thanks Prateek,
    Now, i can see that the name of the original file is into the content type named as  text/xml; name"name of the file.xml" when i send the email from outlook.
    If i send it from hotmail, this is not happend.
    Do you know why happend this?
    If i always would have the original name inside the content type, my problem will be solved.

  • Separate valid mail attachment in sender mail adapter

    Hi Experts,
    I am working on Mail -> RFC scenario in pi 7.3.
    Our channel is able to process new mail having valid attachement (i.e. .xml) file.
    But sometime attachment contain invalid format also like pdf, or .txt file with valid attachment.
    With these types of mail, channel throw error and do not process it. But my requirement is to separate the valid attachment and process it and delete it from mail box.
    What our channel is doing is it skips these kind of mails and only change the status from unread to read.
    Regards
    Jitender

    Hi Jean ,
    I got the same issue too, the Scenario is MAIL ->FILE . Mail Sender Adapter picks up the 1 PDF attachment and saves in network folder successfully but not multiple attachments of a  mail.
    These are the setting in Module configuration I made:
    1. The IMAPS was used in Mail Sender Adapter : imaps://10.192.101.16:993/Inbox
    *IP address of the Mail Server was got from the Admin )
    2. Ports : 143, 993 are opened for the Mail Server to access for XI SERver ( Raised an Ticket to open Ports of Mail server :NZTxxx.dknz.nzcorp.net)
    3. As the attachment was only in PDF : Added swapbean in Module tab as below :
    Process Sequesnce :
    -Make sure: AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Modul key : TRANSFORM is added before sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
    -And under Module Configuration select : TRANSFORM as Module Key and add >
    swap.keyName Content-Disposition
    swap.keyName Content-Description
    swap.keyValue attachment;filename='MailAttachment-1.pdf"
    swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
    -IF you get to know how to fetch multiple attachment , Please update.

  • Working with XI Message and Sender Mail Adapter

    Hello
    I have a task - To use one email address for several interfaces. In this case I think XI Message is the choice.
    The question is How to tie payload and SOAP header?
    Do I need to pass SOAP Header as mail message body and payload as mail attachent?

    hi,
    >>>>I have a task - To use one email address for several interfaces. In this case I think XI Message is the choice.
    you can store the address anywhere
    (in XI table, in R3 table)
    and just get if from the mapping (via lookup)
    and then put it in the adapter specific identifirers
    (THeaderTO field)
    then mail adapter will use it

  • Multiple attachment in sender mail adapter with PI 7.11

    Hello all,

    In my sender adapter mail, i have two attachment.
    From what i've saw on different thread, it wasn't possible to handle this case in standard with PI 7.0.
    Is it possible now with PI 7.11 ? Or must i develop a specific module for that ?

  • Sender Mail Adapter with PayloadSwapBean

    Hello Experts!
    I have a Sender Mail Adapter receiving emails with attachments! I'm using PayloadSwapBean, because I have to manipulate (to do mapping) the XML attachment.
    Sender Mail Adapter Configuration:
    Default Interface Namespace = urn:mynamespace.com
    Default Interface Name = abs_async_myInterface
    swap.keyName = Content-Disposition
    swap.keyName = Content-Description
    swap.keyValue = attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
    swap.keyValue = MailAttachment-1
    Well, my problems are:
    1) Although my Default Interface Namespace is urn:mynamespace.com, sometimes the namespace that cames to SXMB_MONI is http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail. In that case, an Receiver Determination error happens.
    2) My XML can be the first (MailAttachment-1), the second (MailAttachment-2), the third (MailAttachment-3), or any other attachment position. Since my swap.keyValue is set to "MailAttachment-1", I'm able to pick the XML only if it is the first attachment.

    Hi Julio,
    Writing an Adapter Module for the same can make your task easy.

  • How to get the name of the attachment in Sender Mail Adaper?

    hi mates,
    I've scenario a where in I need to pick up a mail with an attachment and change its extension and send it to target system using file adapter.
    I'm able to pick up the mail with attachment using sender mail adapter but not able to get the name of the attachment so that I can use it in mapping or on the adapter configuration. How do I read the name of the attachment and manupulate it?
    I looked at the thread sender mail adapter - attachment name But the solution is not described. I think Stefan is talking about the SP!2 for PI 7.0. I'm on XI 3.0 what is the equivalent SP for that, SP20? Stefan, can you please throw me more light on it?
    I appreciate your valuable inputs
    thx in adv
    praveen

    Thanks Aamir.
    Earlier I replied to that thread asking for more details...but did not see the response...
    anyways, thanks for your quick help..
    but I wonder abt the PI SP12/ XI SP20 pre-requisite. We can have adapter modules on SPs lower than PI SP12/XI SP20 as well, can we not?
    thanks

  • Sender Mail Adapter Configuration - Process Multiple Attachments

    Dear sirs,
    I need to process several attachments at the same mail message as individual payloads.
    In default configuration of sender mail adapter only the body of message is used as payload.
    So I added PayloadSwapBean Module at Processing Sequence and it processed the attachment I set in Module Configuration.  I'm not able to process all attachments available, just one attachment is sent to PI pipeline.
    How can I process all attachments of a single mail message?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Sender Mail adapter configuration with attachment

    Hi,
    I read the below blog regarding the mail adapter
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
    I have the same requirement but the attachment file is not an XML, it is CSV file so in the module tab if I change like below is it enough?
    TRANSFORM    swap.keyValue  attachment; filename=u201DMailAttachment-1.csvu201D     (I think MailAttachment-1 is the file name, am I correct?)
    If I change like above is it ok? or any other thing is required, Could you please give me the inputs
    Thanks
    Ramesh

    I have the same requirement but the attachment file is not an XML, it is CSV file so in the module tab if I change like below is
    it enough?
    PayloadSwapBean will ensure that the input to the mapping is from the attachment.....in the blog the attachment is in XML format and hence there was no need for any conversion.....yours is however a CSV file so you need to convert it to XML first and then do the further processing.....you can either use the MessageTransformationBean as shown in this blog:
    /people/gabrielsagayaselvam.panneerselvam/blog/2009/08/31/solve-key-field-problem-using-structplain2xml-in-messagetransformationbean
    Or write your own module code for the conversion.

    Abhishek.

  • Xi sender mail adapter with attachment (to Web Service w/ attachment)

    Hello,
    We're working on an XI scenario wherein a sender mail adapter polls an exchange server inbox for mail (with attachment)and sends the attachment to a Web Service via SOAP Adapter? Does anyone know if this is doable, and if so, how?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Hi!
    I think so, if you just have a single attachment to be transferred.
    Use the Mail Sender Adapter and specify the MailServer URL etc...
    In the Module provessor of the Mail-Adapter you have to specify the PayloadSwapBean ( -> this changes the payload - the attachment becomes the payload)
