Thanks for the reply Ahmad and Raj .
Hi Ahmad,
Does this work with SP9? Because I am working on XI 3.0 SP09.
The weblog says:
If you have XI SP10 you can check the mail adapter status in the Adapter Monitor. In this case I dont want to check the mail adapter status in the Adapter Monitor
Thanks,

Email content line feeds using receiver mail adapter - HELP!

Hi all,
I have read the threads on how to download the XSD from SAP for creating a mail message type with dynamic To and From addresses and this is working fine. However, I am unable to create multiple lines in my mail message. I have the following parameters in my config:
XML2Plain - Transform.Class - com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
XML2Plain - Tansform.ContentType - text/plain;charset=utf-8
XML2Plain - xml.conversionType - SimpleXML2Plain
XML2Plain - xml.addHeaderLine - 0
XML2Plain - xml.fieldFixedLengths - 12,150
XML2Plain - xml.fixedLengthTooShortHandling - Cut
XML2Plain - xml.fieldSeparator - '0x0D''0x0A'
I have not changed the message type in the Design so the mapped Content field currently just contains one long line of 162 characters (as does the resulting email). I want 12 characters on the first line and 150 characters on the second line. Do I need to concatenate something between by 12-character and 150-character strings to achieve this? Do I need a line.Separator parameter in my module configuration?
Many thanks,
Stuart Richards

Hi Sreeramulu,
As mentioned by Lucas, you can use the UDF. Inn addition to that, you need to define the Variable Headers under Variable transport binding after enabling the Adapter Specific Message Attributes.
For the Enabling ASMA, follow the below steps and check for the variable attributes.
Select the Advanced tab page.
   To save adapter-specific attributes in the message header of the XI message, select Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes and Variable Transport Binding.
The following attributes in the message header are then available for processing:
○       User: (technical name: TServerLocation)
○       Authentication key: (technical name: TAuthKey)
The following mail header fields are available for processing:
○       From: (technical name: THeaderFROM)
○       To: (technical name: THeaderTO)
○       Cc: (technical name: THeaderCC)
○       Bcc: (technical name: THeaderBCC)
○       Subject: (technical name: THeaderSUBJECT)
○       Reference to the mail that is to be replied to: (technical name: THeaderIN-REPLY-TO)
○       Reply to: (technical name: THeaderREPLY-TO)
○       Mail client program: (technical name: THeaderX-MAILER)
○       Send confirmation of receipt: (technical name: THeaderDISPOSITION-NOTIFICATION-TO)
○       Priority: (technical name: THeaderPRIORITY)
○       Importance of message: (technical name: THeaderIMPORTANCE)
   To transfer further header fields, set the relevant indicator for Variable Header. The technical names for the fields are XHeaderName1, XHeaderName2, and XHeaderName3.
The parameters are included in the mail header under the names specified here.
The attribute namespace for the adapter is http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail.
Thanks,

Mail Adapter Scenario ----- Need help

Hi All
Again with same mail adapter scenarios .
I am trying to send my e-mail on Microsoft Exchange server to a FTP server .
So flow is like Mail system->XI-> File system.
While configuring sender mail adapter , i gave the following URL imap://S4DE8PSAANH.ibm.com/InBox as i am using IMAp4 as the protocol.
Now i have set of doubts and questions for which i need input from you all
a>I am still seeing my sender communication channel with green light (running ), its not picking up any new mail i came to my inbox. Any reasons why it did not pick up ?
b> Now to set up Receiver Determination and Interface Determination , i need to have inbound interface created, but here when my requirenent is just to send a e-mail content as XML to fle system , what interface should i use or how should i create a interface with interface mapping or message mapping ?
c>Any idea whether just configuring a sender mail adapter with certain poll interval will result in a XML message that can be seen in SXMB_MONI txn ? Or do i need to fullly set up my receiver system and complete whole configuration of the entire flow.
My intent is just to get a simple mail body into XI , how do i achieve it ?
I gave URL as imap://S4DE8PSAANH.ibm.com/InBox , still i did not get any XML message in SXMB_MONI txn ..or should i give IP address of my exchange server instead of S4DE8PSAANH.ibm.com ? ...
Can we see a XML message if only a sender communication channel is set up with no receiver ? .. I am just wondering why new mail in my inbox is not getting picked up into XI.
Thanks a lot to all who helped to me earlier , i guess i rewarded points to all those who guided me : -) and will do same again as promised.
Please help .
Thanks and Regards
rohan

Hi Rohan -
Here's what I can tell you:
- if the hostname is wrong, you'll get a 'UnknownHostException'.
- if the path (e.g. Inbox) is wrong or doesn't exist, you'll get a 'IOException... The requested item could not be found'.
- if you don't configure user authentication, you'll get a 'NullPointerException'.
This is all within Adapter Monitor - so since your mail CC status is green, we can only assume that your mail host is valid, your path is valid, and your user id/pwd is valid.
One thing to try, since 'Inbox' is common to any mailbox, try creating a new folder at the Inbox level (e.g. called 'Test1') and specify the URL as:
imap://S4DE8PSAANH.ibm.com/Test1
and see if your CC status is still green in the Adapter Monitor (make sure to look at the ID Cache Notifications and the timestamp in the adapter monitor).
Outside of this, SP9 is relatively old. You should patch your XI system as soon as you get a chance - with or without this problem.

Jin

XI Mail Adapter: sending emails with attachment with help of java mapping

Hi ,
On trying out the scenerio mentioned in the blog, using the java mapping provided
"XI Mail Adapter: An approach for sending emails with attachment with help of Java mapping
The scenerio works just fine.
But the payload as the content of the attachment is not getting generated in proper XML format.
I suppose it's because of the replace special characters code part..
Can anyone help me state the modification required in the code.
Thanks!
Regards,
Faria Mithani

It might be a codepage issue. Is your original payload UTF-8?

HI Experts,
I have a scenario. Import IDOC into PI and PI transform IDOC to Excel. Using mail adapter attach that Excel using pi and send to vendor. Can you please help me on the same?
Thanks
SaiSreevastav

Hi Sai,
you can use XSLT or java mapping or adapter module to convert IDOC xml to XLS. Please refer the below blog
Convert incoming XML to Excel or Excel XML – Part 1 - XSLT Way
Convert incoming XML to Excel Sheet Part 2 – Adapter Module way
Convert incoming XML to Excel Sheet
then after converting to Excel, you can use the payloadswap bean in mail adapter

Dynamic Filename in Receiver mail adapter is it possible without module?

Hi,
I need to send the file name in email adapter dynamically.Presently iam getting the filename as untitled.xml in the email .The keep attachments is checked in the mail adapter.
I need to rename the file based on the input field name and timestamp .for example if i get the input field xxxx then the filename should be set as xxxx + timestamp .xml.I tried to use the UDF for dynamic configuration but it didnot help me out.Please help me.
Thanks
Rajesh

Use below code snippet... It should work. If you want timestamp different change accordingly. Currently I do date followed by time as per my requirement.
SimpleDateFormat simpledatFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
Date date = new Date();
String datewithYear = simpledatFormat.format(date);
SimpleDateFormat simpledatFormat1 = new SimpleDateFormat("HHmmss");
Date date1 = new Date();
String datewithMs = simpledatFormat1.format(date1);
DynamicConfiguration conf = ((DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION));
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
String oldFileName=conf.get(key);
String valueNew;
if( oldFileName == null){
valueNew =oldFileNamedatewithYeardatewithMs+".xml";
//set the new filename
conf.put(key, valueNew);

Sender Mail Adapter

Hi,
I am working on Sender Mail Adapter. I have done the total configuration but unable to sucess the scenarios. In the CC monitoring, it is saying that "Not Intialised" Even though i send and receive the messages from My Lotus Notes Inbox. I activated all the objects.
I have done the following examples:
Transport Protocal: POP3
Message Protocal: XIALL
Given the URL and UserId and PWD also
Poll Intevel: 1 (Mins)
Adapter Status: Active
Please help to me solve this problem. I already raised the one more thread today but didn't get solutions.
Note: Do i need to do any setting from the Lotus notes(Mail Server) to diver my messages.
Thanks in Advance,
I found the problem with SMTP Address. Can i use the SMTP Url for POP3 or IMP4 protocal. Is there any thing else because if i use the Same SMTP Address, it is giving exception
Best Regards,
Vijay

Hi Gangisetty,
 SMTP is the out going server(for sending mails out) while POP3 is the in coming(receiving mails) server. So for a sender channel, you need to use the POP server details not SMTP.

Sender Mail Adapter - forcing content as an attachement

Hi all,
We are using the Sender Mail Adapter to pull emails from the inboxes of some users of an exchange server. We use the Mail Package option.
We have noticed that the content of the emails are by-default added as attachments when there are no real attachments to the emails. However the content is not added as an attachment when one or more attachments are present in these emails.
Is there a way of forcing the Sender Mail Adapter to always add the content as an attachment and keeping the other attachments as well? and of course maintain the Mail Package message type as the main payload...?
Many thanks,
Aldo

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear that I am wrong again )
In your opinion is it possible to force the Outlook Exchange server to add the content attachment every time? I mean by doing some configuration on it...?
The reason why we would like to do this is because when - in the content tag of a Mail Package message - we have MIME message parts that are of content-type text/html we are having problems in decoding the html back to a readable format.
To do this we use the apache QuotedPrintableCodec Java class.
This works fine when the content type of the message is just text/plain but we get an exception when we try with text/html.
The exception we get is:
org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException: Invalid URL encoding: not a valid digit (radix 16): 13
I don't know if this is because of the two character sets we have in the payload (utf-8 and iso-8859-1) or if it is for other reasons...
If you could help me figure out how to forward any HTML email to another system in a readable format it would be great.
Thanks for your support,
Aldo

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using Transform.class ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

Sender Mail Adapter, technical Acknowledgement

Hi all,
I have a SMTP --> XI --> Proxy Scenario. For the inbound message I get via SMTP, I'd like to send a technical acknowledgement back to the Sender (via SMTP, too). The acknowledgement has a specific message structure, for example it contains the DocumentID of the inbound message I get via SMTP.
My idea now is: Within ReceiverDetermination, I configure two receivers:
1. Backend system for the Inbound Proxy
2. original Sender System
Within Interface Determination, I'll do 2 mappings:
1. Mapping from source message to ABAP proxy interface
2. Mapping from source message to technical acknowledgement structure
Then, receiver agreements / receiver communication channels for both interfaces.
My question now is: is there a more elegant solution then doing the scenario like described above? Maybe something I can do in the Sender Mail Adapter to create the specific technical acknowledgement and sent it back to the sending application?
Best regards
Holger

Hi Holger !
XI supported acks are not available for your scenariom because the smtp/mail sender cannot request it.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/frameset.htm
You should create some kind of artificial ack, that should be part of your own protocol. What I meant with the SYNC proxy, is to use its response message as your own defined ack, because it is not supported as is.
If you call your proxy async, then you will not receive any feedback to use it as ack info.
Another idea could be to forget the ack per se, and just use define an alert in case of problems with the scenario to send a mail to the specified users.

Matias

Sender Mail Adapter - S/MIME - How to use it?

Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out how to use the S/MIME security parameter of the Sender Mail Adapter in PI 7.1.
Could anyone point me to some useful documentation/examples/blogs ?
Or perhaps explain what steps are involved when configuring this parameter?
We are pulling emails from an Microsoft Exchange server.
Many thanks,
Aldo

First of all one sender mail adapter has to be tight with a specific sender email address.
The email has to be decrypted as whole, you cannot decrypt parts of it.
Then you store certificates to secure store in J2EE server and point to it in send agreement, this should be equal to HTTPS setup
Check security guide:

Sender Mail Adapter - default interface name

Hi,
I need to receive through one e-mail sender channel tree different kind of messages.
In sender mail adapter I specify ecept other parameters "Default Interface Name". When I send a message with a same as defined in an interface the message is processed correctly.
But when I send a different kind of message then I get an error : "Receiver could not be determined".
Is any way around how through one sender e-mail adapter receive a different kinds of messages ?
Thanks for any help,
Marian

Hello Marzian,
have you find a solution for this problem?
We're facing the same issue.

Sender Mail Adapter issue

Hi All,
We are getting this error in Sender Mail adapter.
"exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation"
It is a (Lotus Notes) Mail to File scenario.
Used POP3, and gave the URL as POP:// ** .
I have tried pinging the server and getting a good response.
I have also tried the OS01 ans it returned a response : Program Terminated.
I am not sure if the POP3 port is enabled.
Are there any check points we are missing ?
Please throw some light on this as we need to solve this asap ..
Yashwanth
Edited by: YashwanthSVK on Aug 2, 2011 7:18 PM

Shabarish is right.
This seem a connectivity issue. Try to ping Mail server from your PI System and check pop3 port.
