Mail Adapter - PayloadSwapBean - MessageTransformBean - German umlauts

Hi there,
I'm receiving mails with an attachment (.csv / .txt) that I want to process to get IDocs. Everything works fine but the conversion of German umlauts. I tried to apply several charsets (i.e. iso-8859-1, iso-8859-2, utf-8) in the contentType parameter without success. The result in my payload after swapping and transforming is a message without umlauts. All these characters have been replaced by the same 'character' that looks like a quadrangle. Therefore even the earliest possible mapping comes too late to convert this character back into umlauts, because I don't know anymore the original ones.
When I process the same attachment with a file adapter in the same manner (until getting an IDoc) there are no problems with umlauts, the payload looks fine!
I even checked the note 881308 (although it's said to be for the mail receiver) but it's already in the system (XI 3.0, SP 14)
Anyone an idea to solve my problem?
Regards,
Ralph

Hi Ralph,
now I got the solution:
Allpy the MessageTransformBean twice.
First you set the code page for the mail attachment, how it comes to the system.
Then you do the conversion and set the code page how the target xml should be.
Make two entries in Module configuration:
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean - contenttype
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean - tranform
as paramters you set:
contentType - Transform.ContentType - text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
transform - Transform.ContentType - text/xml; charset=UTF-8
transform - Transform.Class - com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
and so on.
The problem is that outlook does not provide the content type for the attachment, so the MailTransformBean assumes UTF-8, but the attachment has iso-8859-1, so you have to set this before the conversion.
I have tested this with XI 3.0 SP17 with note 960501 included.
Regards
Stefan

Mail adapter and MessageTransformBean module configuration issue

Hi All,
I am trying to use module configuration in Receiver Mail adapter. Below is my configuration. (We are using SAP PI 7.11)
Parameter/General tab:
Message Protocol : XIPAYLOAD
Use Mail package option is selected.
Content Encoding = none
Module tab:
Processing Sequnce:
AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean : XSLT
sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean : mail
Module Configuration:
XSLT Transform.Class com.sap.aii.af.sdk.xi.adapter.XSLTConversion
XSLT Conversion.XSLTFileName /tmp/GL_POST_RESPONSE_EMAIL.xsl
XSL works outside of PI . However, when i test with a message, I am seeing following errors in Runtime workbench:
Please let me know what could be wrong in the above configuration

Hi All,
Issue has been resolved. There was some minor issue in the XSL. The XSL Stylus studio was not reporting this as an error. However PI's XSL engine was reporting that error. This error message was not showing up in runtime workbench. However, when i looked at the default trace, there were few more errors. After fixing the XSL, I am able to received the email
Thanks

German umlauts are not shown correctly, when a received e-mail is opened the first time. What can I do?

When I open a received e-mail the first time, German umlauts (ä, ö, ü) are not shown correctly. Instead of them there are characters like §,$. When I close the e-mails and open them again the German umlauts are shown correctly. I don't know how to solve that problem. Who can help me?

''Zenos [[#answer-670786|said]]''
<blockquote>
Fascinating. Sounds like an inconsistency between the encoding being used and the encoding being declared. I can't think why it should change when you re-open the message, unless Thunderbird is adding a correct encoding declaration.
(Most users complain about it working in the opposite direction; messages stored as drafts often restore with damaged "special" characters such as smart quotes, accented characters and umlauts.)

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

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.

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.
Regards
DSR

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...

Abhishek.

Sender Mail Adapter Question

Hello All,
Iu2019m reading the blog: /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step to apply in my scenario. But Iu2019m having a issue. The messages in sxmb_moni are with state waiting.
I do the same configurations of the blog. But the message go to outbound queue (SMQ2) and have a SYSFAIL with this errror: "Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible".
Anybody have any ideia what's this?

Stefan,
I put just this:
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean TRANSFORM
TRANSFORM swap.keyName payload-name
TRANSFORM swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
The raw format of e-mails:
--SAP_913fb6e1-6fb1-11de-9ed3-0013725ef0f0_END
Content-ID: <payload-913d45e56fb111deb3b50013725ef0f0 at sap.com>
Content-Type: text/xml; name="MailAttachment-1.xml"

But the messages in sxmb_moni still was with status Scheduled for Outbound processing and not finished.
Do you have more any ideia?

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.

Mail adapter with attachment

hello
I have a mail sender adapter with attachment, that I would like to transfer to other PI.
the important is to keep the attachment and to deliever it to the PI
any ideas?
Kfir

Hi,
By using Java mapping, you can easily achieve this.
Or use Adapter module 'PayloadSwapBean '.
Please see the below blogs, it might be helpful to you.

SAP PI Sender Mail Adapter error : Unexpected User response

Hello ,
I developed a scenario which requires Sender mail Adapter to connect a Third party system to PI, by going thro the links .
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
and PDFs in SDN.
When configured the sender mail adapter using POP Mail Server,faced the following error:gave the correct URL and Login credentials.
+" exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: unexpected user response; read -ERR Command is not valid in this state."+
Then used IMAP for the same mail server : error:
"exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: unexpected login response; read 001F BAD Command received in Invalid state."
Tried with another Mail server :
"exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out".
Can you please help, what be the cause? how to rectify it?

Hi
There might be an connectivity issue from PI server to mail server. Please check with your BASIS to resolve the issue.,

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
