Mail Adapter Encoding Problem

Hi,
I use the Mail Adaper with Mail Package.
And i set Content-Encoding Quoted-Printable.
But i still can't send characters like öäü correct.
any idea? is there a second option i have to set somewhere?

solved it.
you just have to set content type in mail package to text/plain;charset="UTF-8"

Mail Adapter Module Problem!

Hi All
I m facing a problem in implementing a custom mail adapter module.
The scenario is to set the content type based on the file type. eg: if the file being sent is a pdf then content type should be "application/pdf".
I hope the scenario is clear, please feel free to ask for clarifications.
awaiting your replies.
Regards
Kapil

Hi All
I am able to fetch the file name now and set the content type based on the file name. But I m not able to change the name of attachment of mail. For reference, I m pasting the code here, please suggest how to do the latter part
try {
                     // CS_GETCHADAT START
                     cid = moduleContext.getChannelID();
                     Channel channel = new Channel(cid);

We have the same problems with UTF-8 encoded mails. If I select the Inbox, then select Mailbox -> Rebuild it fixes it, but I need a better solution to fix this. Several others are having the same problem and it seems to be happenning intermittently.
Anyone have any suggestions?

A workaround is also described there.

Problem wiht sender mail adapter.

Hello.
I have a mail to RFC scenario.
There sender mail adapter fails if the mails in the inbox is encoded in specific formats.
I think the mail adapter does not understand this encoding.
Below is the error i got.
error occured: [2008-09-08T08:22:25Z] 5 new messages found; processing message 1exception caught during processing mail message[1]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 2exception caught during processing mail message[2]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 3exception caught during processing mail message[3]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 4exception caught during processing mail message[4]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 5exception caught during processing mail message[5]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; action[s] taken
Is there a solution 2 overcome this problem.
I tries to use a module called "TextCodepageConversionBean" but it was not of much use.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vignesh

HI
Mail adapter does not understand "UTF-7" as shown in the error.
Mail adapter supports only
base64
Quoted-Printable
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
If you want to make your adapter more than this. Then create a custom module using open libraries that will allow you to read many Encoding standards.
Thanks

Encoding conversion in Mail adapter

Hi,
we have a problem with the Mail adapter...
We try to send an email out of the XI to some service providers. The outgoing data is stored in an XML structure. This structure agrees with the conventions of the Mail Package format, which is used for dynamic Mail generation. The content of this Mail Package structure is a semicolon separated string, which should be attached as a CSV-File to the outgoing email. Up to this everything works fine. We get the email with the attachement out of the system, send it to a SMTP server and transfer it to a previous defined email address.
But when we open the attachement (with Wordpad, Excel,...) all german umlaut have been lost. The problem is, when transfering the Mail Package content into a File, this File is UTF-8 encoded.
Can anyone give us a hint how to convert the encoding of the attached file from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1)?
Actual we have set the following parameters on the module page:
Work sequence
1. localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean      Local Enterprise Bean      XML2Plain
2. localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean       Local Enterprise Bean      mail
Modulconfiguration
XML2Plain     Transform.ContentDisposition     attachment;filename="ABC.csv"
XML2Plain     Transform.ContentType      text/plain;charset=latin-1
XML2Plain     Transform.ContentDescription      "ABC"
I hope we get some help...
Regards,
Lars

Hi,
Hi
We handled the similar requirement in our project.
To convert the target file encoding UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1. For this i have used XSLT mapping, by changing the output encoding as shown in the code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:a="urn:abc.com:pi:ab:cd:FileToMail:Mail">
<xsl:variable name="vfileName" select="/a:MT_Mail/FileName"/>
                <xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" encoding="iso-8859-1" media-type="TYP"/>
also set the charset value to ISO-8859-1 as shown in the XSLT mapping
                 <xsl:text>----mime-boundary
Content-Type: text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1"
Content-Disposition: inline
In Adapter module, add XMLAnonymizerBean

Mail adapter multipart message problem

Hello everyone.
I'm experiencing problem with receiver mail adapter. In XIPAYLOAD mode (keeping attachments, use mail package, content encoding - none) messages that has multipart mime type (multipart/alternative exactly) are processing strange way (messages are made from MS Outlook). XI keeps service information and change some symbols words become unreadable. For example.
--_000_135E4C842D542241894122FD84C52E1D4134A33A81mail2itransit_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello world! This is text of multipart message! --_000_135E4C842D542241894122FD84C52E1D4134A33A81mail2itransit_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Hello world! T= his is text of multipart message!
000135E4C842D542241894122FD84C52E1D4134A33A81mail2itransit_
You can see T= his instead of This. And also why in main payload (<Content> field) it keeps info about all parts of whole message.
Attachments are kept correctly.
Any suggestions how to avoid this problem and keep just useful info (just text with correct symbols)?
I'm running XI 7.0 SP18.
Thanks in advance.

An OSS would not help, as this is an Outlook issue.
As far as i know, multipart/mixed works with all mail systems. maybe you give a try?
Could you post the first lines of your entries in Content tag and the entry and content-type also?

Sender Mail Adapter problem

Hi,
I am having problems to get my sender mail adapter running.
I configured it with the following parameters:
<i>Transport protocol: POP3
Message Protocol: XIALL
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
URL: pop://server
username + pw
poll intervall: 1 Min.</i>
The adapter is active and if I look into the adapter monitoring everything seems to be fine (green light).
But the adapter doesn't poll the messages from the mail account and I cannot see any activity in the message monitoring.
If I try the same configuration with Thunderbird everthing works fine. Also my receiving mail adapter works without any problems for the same account.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be or how I could find out what my mail adapter is doing?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi all, hi Andreas,
have you solved you problem? Could you please describe how you did it.
I have the same situation and I haven't any ideas how can I manage it.
I checked all parameters and compared they with documentation. Everything seems to be ok.
I didn't see any messages in the message monitoring, but in the chanel monitoring I found follows:
exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
I tried the same configuration with email client and it worked. I tried change POP on IMAP with URL imap://server/folder. It didn't work also.
Could you please help me?
Thank you in advance,
Anna

Problem with Sender Mail Adapter

Hi experts,
I'm developing a Mail-XI-RFC scenario and have a problem in the mapping. I have created a MI based in the structure of the attachment of the mail. I have a mapping that does xml->RFC and tests OK. When I send a mail to the account of the sender adapter, the system generates two payloads, the 'MailMessage' and the 'MailAttachment-1' that is the xml to map, but I have an error in SXM_MONI 'Cannot produce target element /ns0:...RFC name'.
The Sender Adapter configuration uses message protocol XIPAYLOAD, I have checked Mail Package, base 64 and keep Attachments. Interface namespace is the same as the xml and default interface name is the message interface created of type my xml.
What is wrong?
Best Regards,
Alfredo Lagunar.

In this case you need to use payloadswap bean for swapping the payload and attachment

Problems with sender mail adapter

Hi XI Gurus
We have gone through a lot of blogs and searched a lot on the XI forum on how to configure the sender mail adapter with attachments but we still can't get it working at our site. Here are the issues -
1. When we define our data type in the IR as let's say out_email_dt with namespace "http://www.xyz.com" the mapping fails. In the monitor(SXMB_MONI) the message from the sender mail adapter comes in like this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
<xim:Mail xmlns:xim="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30" encoding="quoted-printable">
<Subject>test 10</Subject>
<From>"Test User" <[email protected]></From>
<To>"XI Test Account" <[email protected]></To>
<Content_Type>text/plain;charset="us-ascii"</Content_Type>
<Date>2007-05-08T05:34:38Z</Date>
<Message_ID><[email protected]></Message_ID>
<Content>This is the voice of the Mysterons=0A</Content>
</xim:Mail>
Question 1 - do we have to define our data type as "Mail" under the namespace "http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30".
Question 2 - If you look at the content of the <From>,<To>,<Message_ID> tags you will see that there is content with <> tags which is causing the message mapping to fail. Is there a way of telling XI that they are not xml tags but part of some other tags?
2. Also the PayloadSwapBean doesn't seem to swap the payload to be the attachment.
3. Can we use masks in the PayloadSwapBean for attachment names like "." as we don't know what the file name is going to be as we have multiple partners who will be sending emails to the same address and with different file formats.
Thanks in advance.

Problem polling Inbox with Sender Mail adapter

Hi,
I have a funny problem with Sender Mail adapter (IMAP Protocol)
It was working fine previously.
Now, when I poll the Inbox, 2 things happen. After re-activation:
1. If there is a new mail in the Inbox, the Communication channel marks the mail as read, but still keeps reading the same mail into XI.
2. If there are no new mails in the Inbox, it reads the already read mails in the Inbox one by one. So all old mails start entering XI.
This problem exists only with the Inbox. It works fine with other folders for the same mail ID.
Any inputs as to why this is happening?
Regards,
Puloma.

Hi,
We re-started the server and problem was solved. But we don't know why the Adapter Engine was behaving erratically.

Puloma.

Encoding problems in email while on Windows Mail app

Hello.
I have a question concerning email and encoding problems in the Windows Mail App in Windows 8.1. I have encountered a problem with an email I received, while reading, I see strange ASCII characters in one email. I have never encountered it in
my web browsers nor Gmail, just the Mail App.
I was referred to come here when I had asked a similar question there:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-ecoms/strange-foreign-ascii-characters-appearing-in/911f8a44-c302-4fa1-bcaa-3297b32d9120
I don't know which forum to go to so I picked here.
Is there any way that it can be resolved. I tried to troubleshoot, nothing worked; I even synched, to no avail.
I look forward to a response.
JB

Hi JB,
The responder on answers was a bit confused. The MSDN forums are for developers to discuss writing their own apps. We cannot help with problems using Windows or its built-in apps.
If the folks on answers cannot help then you may need to open a support incident. See
http://support.microsoft.com , or the folks on answers may be able to direct you to the specific page for the Windows Mail app.

Hi Ravishankar,
When you are configuring the Sender mail adapter, try working around the 'Use mail package' function in the adapter settings..
Have a look at these..

Problem Mail-Adapter attachment with specified name

Hi,
We have the following scenario:
We have some EDIFACT-suppliers which we have to connect over Mail-adapter.
We have to fullfill several specifications by sending the mail.
So we have to create a specific filename for the EDI-attachment and the subject. Therefore I used the adapterspecific attribute THeaderSUBJECT, which we set in Mapping. This works fine.
Now the problem: We have to send only the payload-document as attachment of the mail with the same name as the subject of the mail. So we can't use the keep-attachment flag because then all attachments of this message would be sent in the mail.
How is it possible to send only the payload as attachment without any other documents and with specified filename in the attribute THeaderSUBJECT?
Has anybody an idea how to solve this problem?
Regards
Thorsten

Hi,
I have found a solution.
In a new module I copy the original paload to the payload of a new message object without attachments.
After calling this module I call the standard module MessageTransformBean to transform the payload into the attachment of the message.
Here the code of my module:
String fileName = msg.getMessageProperty("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail","THeaderSUBJECT");
// Generate new message object
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
ConnectionFactory cf = (ConnectionFactory) ctx.lookup(com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.ConnectionFactory.JNDI_NAME);
MessageFactory factory = cf.createMessageFactory("XI");
Message msgnew = factory.createMessage(msg.getFromParty(),msg.getToParty(),msg.getFromService(),msg.getToService(), msg.getAction());
msgnew.setConversationId(msg.getConversationId());
msgnew.setDeliverySemantics(msg.getDeliverySemantics());
msgnew.setCorrelationId(msg.getMessageId());
msgnew.setMessageProperty("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail","THeaderSUBJECT",fileName);
String contentType = new String("text/plain;name="" + fileName + """);
// Copy original message to the new message
XMLPayload payload = (XMLPayload)(msg.getDocument());
payload.setContentType(contentType);
payload.setDescription("file");
payload.setName(fileName);
msgnew.setDocument(payload);
Now it works like it should work.
Regards
Thorsten
