Mail adapter options

Hi.
I have my mail scenario working.
I have many doubts of how to do some things.
I would like to transform only a part of the XML into a CSV file. Actually, i have to transform the entire the XML. I would like to know hoy to convert only specific XML tags.
The tags i don't wat to put in the CSV, contain the info of the email destinator and the subject field. I want to put those fields in the Mail Attributes in the receiver mail adapter.
Ragards.

Yes, i'm trying to select the tags i want using modules but if i don't tell all the tags, including the ones i don't work, doesn't work.
And i don't understand how to set parameters 'To' and 'Subject' and a body telling something like 'Hi. This is the result of your interface. Bye'. This parameters are included in the payload (the one with the info that is being converted into CSV)

Error in mail adapter whilst using 'mail package' option

Hello,
I am using receiver mail adapter. Its working fine when I do not use 'mail package option'. But when I use mail package option, this error comes in
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.modules.conversion.xml2plain.ConversionException: No data is allowed on this structure level (2) at XML element Mail,Subject
This is the sample of payload:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns1:Mail xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
<Subject>Data Update to Portal failed</Subject>
<From>sender email id/From>
<To>receiver email id/To>
<Reply_To />
<Content_Type>text/plain</Content_Type>
<Content>Error: Undefined Error</Content>
</ns1:Mail>
Any idea what should I do to get it working. Alternatively, is it possible to use the dynamic value into the email 'TO' field.
Thanks in adavance

How to maintain mail package option features with ASMA in mail adapter

Hi Friends,
While going through mail adapter sap notes I found that Mail package is deprecated, Can any one please give me an idea how to get these features that is header information (TO,From,Subject) with ASMA(Adapter specific message attributes)
Best Regards
Raj

This [link |Sender Mail Adapter ASMA issue - due to limitation of length upto 200 only.;address your issues... using header attributes length of the field < 200 might help.

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 Error: exception caught during processing mail message;

HI , I am configuring mail to file scenario. Need to read mail content (no need to capture From,TO or Subject details) and create a file with the content in the mail.
Need to read mails from microsoft outlook. Exchange server has been configured for POP3 protocol.
Following are the details provoding in sender mail adapter:
URL: provided url in the format: pop://<server name>
Authentication method: plain
provided user credinetions to access mails.
poll interval - 1min
content encoding none.
processing parameters : quality of service-exactly once
Since there is no need to capture From,TO or Subject details, didn't select the option - use mail package.
Verified for unread mails in the mail box and made sure that there are few unread mails.
Also, created data types and other components in IR and completed mapping.
But after starting sender mail communication channel, getting error "exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.NullPointerException" in RWB-adapter-communication channel monitoring.
please let me know what needs to be done to resolve this error.
Thanks.

HI Stefan, i tried, but still it is giving same error. Yes, i am able to access outlook mail with the user credentials given in the communication channel to access exchange server.
I am using message protocol: xipayload . Also since i dont have to capture TO,from,subject details., created data type just with one element of type string, not in the standard format .Does this makes any difference.

Error when using Variable Transport Binding in Sender Mail Adapter

Hi,
I am using the Sender Mail Adapter to receive an email, convert the attached tab delimited text file into xml and map it to an IDOC.
I am using PayloadSwapBean and MessageTransformBean in order to do this, and this all works perfectly.
I am now trying to access the Adapter Specific Message Attributes to retrieve the SHeaderFROM attribute from the message and map it to a field in the idoc.
However when I check the "Variable Transport Binding" option in the Advanced tab of the mail adapter, the message no longer goes through to SXMB_MONI and I get the following error in the Java logs.
Transmitting the message to endpoint http://sapserver:53500/sap/xi/engine?type=entry using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Received HTTP response code 500 : Error during parsing of SOAP header.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,
Brad

Hi Luciana,
Honestly, I cant really remember how or if it was resolved and I was just helping out on the issue, but another consultant continued with it, so unfortunately I cant be any help on this.
Good luck!

Email attachment name in sender mail adapter to the receiver file adapter

HI ,
Ths is regarding email to file scenario. I am trying to create file (in rceiver file adapter) with the same name as the email attachment that i read from mail sender adapter. I want ro use adapter module for this. I could find from blogs that there is module - GetAttachmentName - available that i can use for this in sender mail adapter.
Can you please let me know what whetehr i neeed to mention any module key and parameters for this.
I assume , i need to do following steps :Please confirm.
1. i can use this module - after payload swap module and before standard mail adapter module in sender mail adapter
2. select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
3. In receiver file adapter select ASMA option in advanced tab in sender mail adapter
4. Also select file name option in ASMA in sender mail adapter
Thanks,
Vamsi

Hi Vamsi,
your scenario is also described here: Re: sender mail adapter - attachment name
If you use the Module getAttachmentName, which is described here,
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/AdapterModulePI7.0GetAttachmentName
your scenario should work as you described it.
You just need to make sure that the Attachment Name that you read in the first place, is mapped to the Filename Attribute of the
Fileadapter (http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File/FileName).

Sender Mail Adapter - html body mail

Hello Everybody,
I'm facing this strange problem:
I receive an e-mail with an XML attachment with a sender mail adapter and I use the PayloadSwapBean to let the attachment be the real payload as explaned in this 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
If I receive mail in text/plain format everything works fine, but as soon as I get an email with an html body (content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary=...) it doesn't any more (In the XI Monitor i still se 2 payloads, but I can only open the one with the attachment).
In this case the mapping is stuck in "scheduled for outbound process" status and the XI queue gets blocked with status "SYSFAIL" giving this error "Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible".
Is there any way to force XI digest also HTML e-mails?
As always, thanks a lot for your help.
Daniele

Thanks Akshay,
this really worked!
Fyi I'm using XIPAYLOAD option. I added in the module chain, before the PayloadSwapBean, a MessageTransformBean with this parameter:
Transform.ContentType - text/plain;charset=uft-8
this way I can also see the massage body in the monitornig.
Hope this will be helpful for someone else.

Daniele

Receiver Mail Adapter message with PDF attachment

Hi.
We are trying to generate emails from the mail adapter that includes the plain text in the body of the resulting email and an attached PDF file. We receive the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:newMailRequest_MT xmlns:ns0="http:/pdk/sap/TorstenTest">
   <Sender/>
   <Receiver/>
   <BodyContent/>
   <Subject/>
   <Attachment/>
</ns0:newMailRequest_MT>
I have set up an interface and mail adapter to be able to produce emails with plain text in the body. I used SAP note 748024 for this.
So right now I can make XI send emails with dynamic mail addresses. My problem lies in sending attached files with the mails as well.
I have read most of the threads in here, but none of them seem to answer just how to include the attachment. Which field in the 'Mail' message type is used for the attachment??
What needs to be added to the communication channel and adapter for it to include attachments, while the body of the mail still keeps the plain text message??

hi
I have used the following links to send the file as an attachement and as payload.
so it may help u.

Configuring Receiver mail adapter with dynamic email addresses

Hi,
I'm a newbie to XI and I have problems in configuring the Receiver mail adapter with the "Use Mail package" option selected. I am trying pickup a file (using file adapter on Sender side, picks up a simple XML file) and after mapping in XI, send the message as an email message to dynamic email addresses.
Everything works fine if I did not select the "Use Mail Package". But when I choose that option it errors out. I followed this blog posted on SDN -
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address
The following XML message is my source
<ns0:Messages xmlns:ns0="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Somenamespace">
   <ns0:Message1>
      <ns1:studentlisttest xmlns:ns1="urn:karthiksender_to_karthikreceiver">
         <Student>
            <studentid>1</studentid>
            <lastname>Studentlastname</lastname>
            <firstname>Studentfirstname</firstname>
         </Student>
         <Mail>
            <From>[email protected]</From>
            <To>[email protected]</To>
            <Subject>Test mail adapter</Subject>
         </Mail>
      </ns1:studentlisttest>
   </ns0:Message1>
</ns0:Messages>
What I want to accomplish is, I have a simple message mapping where the Studentdetails are mapped to, lets say Customer details. For convenience lets keep it simple, StudentId --> Customerid, (student)Firstname --> (customer)Firstname, (Student)Lastname --> (customer)Lastname
I would like to get the Customer details as an XML attachment or in the body of an email with from, to and subject corresponding to that specified in the <Mail> node.
I followed the instructions posted on the blog and it works fine if I don't map the studentdetails to customerdetails. I did multimapping, with one source message (the xml file I posted above) and two target messages (customerdetails and Mail, which is the external definition posted on the blog). I beleive I'm missing something here. Could somebody please guide me through this?
Thanks
Karthik

hi,
I still have not found the solution for this problem. Michal, your blog works fine when my source message has got only the mail details. As per your advice, I tried modified the structure of the xsd file as follows

So how would I get this part of the <CustomerlistExternal></CustomerlistExternal> part of the message as an attachment to the mail address specified in the <ns2:Mail></ns2:Mail> tags.
I'm definitely not understanding it right and am missing something. Could you give me step by step instructions to acheive this. I apologize for the trouble..this would be of great help to me.

Query related to multiple attachments in mail adapter

Hi,
I have a query related to multiple attachments in receiver mail adapter.
I have successfully configured mail related scenarios but now I have another requirement in which I have multiple source files in one directory and I want to send one mail for multiple files as mail attachment using receiver mail adapter. Can anybody help me how to achieve multiple attachments in reciever mail adapter.
To clarify the requirement more let us take an example
Ex: I have 5 input files in the source which I pick up using additional files option in the sender file adapter, now I want to send those 5 files into one mail with 5 attachments. Can anybody explain how 5 different payload will be sent as multiple attachments in one mail.
For your information I used, options like "keep attachments" , some parameters in module processesors etcs...but not able to find out as how exactly it will be achieved.......I dont want to use BPM collect pattern for this.....
Need your help on this issue. Please suggest the solution as how it can be achieved using receiver mail adapter.
Thanks & Regards

Mail Adapter to Soap Adapter keeping the attachments - How?

Hi guys,
I am working on a scenario where I should pull emails from an Exchange server and I should forward them (with their attachments) to a separate systems via a Web Service.
So far I have been able to pull the emails using the Mail Adapter and I get to see them in the monitoring tool of PI with their attachment(s). But what I am not sure of is how I should forward these emails to the external system using a web service.
This system should expose this web service that should use something similar to SOAP with attachments (I guess) and then PI should forward these attachments using the receiver SOAP adapter with the "keep attachments" option selected.
Is this something that could work as simply as this (by configuring these two adapters to keep their attachments) OR will I need to do some more fancy stuff?
Thanks for any advice you can give me on this.
Aldo

Hi Stefan,
thanks for your replay.
Yes, I understand that the mail should be in an XML message. And with that part we are doing OK. We have managed to send the XML between the systems.
However, what I don't understand is how to pass the attachments.
How should the receiving system receive them? if they are not in the XML message itself how are these going to be passed over?
Will the SOAP envelop have some kind of link or reference to the attachments?
The receiving system is a SAP CE system and it's based on Java. Can they expose a service that will somehow handle these attachments?
Could you explain this part to us? this is where we get confused.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Aldo
