Mail Adapter : Receiving a Dat file

Hi,
I am sending an error message to MAIL adapter during a IDOC->XI<->HTTP Receive.
I am getting the error message to my email id in the form of .DAT file(an attachment)
The "Keep Attachments" is unchecked.
Why is that i am not able to get this within the body of the email?
Thanks,
Tirumal

hi,
These blogs help me send an email with attachments which i do not want.
I am getting the message in .DAT file which i have to open in an editor but i want the contents to be the body of the email.
e.g.
<email_text>
     <id>123</id>
     <name>123Test</name>
     <datesent>06/06/06</datesent>
</email_text>
I need to see the contents of the email as <id>, <name> and <datesent> in the body.
I am on SP16.
Thanks again,
Tirumal

E-mail are received as DAT file instad of PDF

Hi All,
Please try to assist in this strange topic:
When I try to send an e-mail via the SBO (press on the envelope button and choose u2018yesu2019 when
the option u2018Would you like to attach an edited report to the e-mail?u2019 is display), the receiver is received a file with u2018DATu2019 extension and not with PDF extension and the receiver canu2019t open the file.
I have tried to uninstall the acrobat reader 9 and install instead Foxit 3.1, but the problem still
persists.
In addition, I have found the this issue is reproduced only when the customer is using the Hebrew interface of SBO and the PDF file name is in Hebrew.
When I switched to English interface of SBO, then the PDF file name is in English and the file is received correct (As PDF file).
Another thing is that when you send the e-mail via the SBO (with the attached PDF) and open it
on outlook (e.g. 2007), the file is received as DAT file,
However If you open the e-mail on web mail (e.g. GMAIL), the file is received as correct PDF file, But when you send a regular e-mail (not via the SBO) with the attached PDF file and open it on outlook, the file is received As PDF file.
Thanks,
Erez

I am afraid that there is a syntax or some codes in the interface that make the pdf converted into DAT file. You should ask the technical consultant or someone that developed the interface to make sure about it.
If not, probably, there is a problem with your current SAP B1 version. You could try to upgrade to the latest PL version of your current B1 application and then try again this case. if this is happened in the latest version, log a message to SAP Support.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

Content Field issue in Mail adapter receiver

My inerface CIDX->TO-->IDOC:
I have an Error handling logic (Busines error) which needs to be send in EMail....the to address has to be detemined in runtime, the mail content is in the following format
Mail Content:
A KB order type came in from:
Partner Information:
         Partner Name.
         Darex
         Chicago IL 60638
         US
///below data till end is for single line item, will occur twice if 2 line item
PO Number       : 45012529631
PO Line No       : 1
Customer Product Code : YYYYYYY
Customer Product Name : XXXXXXXXXX
Price                    : 12345
You should verify the PO is updated in the hosted solution and that the price is correct in SAP. If this isn't the correct price from our partner please contact them and verify what the correct price should be..
I am able to send the above content in mail for line item is 1, if there are more than 1 lineitem then it is breaking as mail content size is huge
If there are Multiple Line items present in the Incoming CIDX file then the number od line items should be disaplayed in the mail. all the lines POLine NO till end will repeate for each Line Item....i am getting the arrayindex out of memeory exception as the data is huge which i am mapping to the content field of the reciver mail adapter....
kindly suggest me the better method to handle this situation..my worry is if the number of line item is 10 then the mail content will be very huge and it will break during the runtime, as that field content cannot take so huge data.

Hi Kiran
Then there is no need to use Transformation bean for this
In Mapping map the mail package Content_type field with
text/plain;name="xyz.csv"
and select mail package and keep attachments in receiver mail adapter
This will work
Thanks

Plain text and attachment in Mail Adapter (Receiver)

Hello,
we have to generate a mail in the mail-adapter with a specific text and an attachment.
The attachment is a document in pdf-format, that is generated inside an adapter-module out of the payload-document.
An additional text has to be added to the mail for the receiver in plain-text-format, like "Dear customer ... enclosed you will find ...".
Is it possible to mix plain-text and attachments in the mail adapter? Does anybody know how we can do that?
Regards,
Thorsten

Hi,
yes you can do it very easily inside the adapter module
if you're already using the adapter module then
you can just enhance it a little bit
you can add the pdf to the attachment section and
leave dear customer in the standard payload
you can even make it a little bit more dynamic
and create a module that will take the input from
the communication channel config (modules tab) - for example xml tag name in which you will specify
the dear customer (or any other text) and after this
the pdf creating can use the xml without this tag...

Mail Adapter Receiver

Hi,
I am trying to configure a receiver mail adapter. I am not using the mail package, instead using the direct xml. I tried the SMTP address of hotmail and gmail and it didn't work.
Here are the connection parameters:-
URL = smtp://smtp.gmail.com
Authentication Method = Plain
User = myGMAILId
Password = myGMAILpassword
From = myGMAILId
To = myGMAILId
Content Encoding = base64
I searched all the mail adapter blogs in SDN and it didn't help. Can someone suggest what's missing.
Appreciate your help.
Krish

Company firewall often block smtp calls to outside world.
You should use an internal mail server.

Attachments (word docs and PDFs) to emails can not be opened by the receivers. Are received as .dat files or application/octet-stream

Attachments I add to emails (word doc or PDFs) can not be opened by the email receivers. Word documents attachments are received with ATT00427.dat (application/octet-stream) or .doc with (application/octet-stream). PDF attached files arrive with .pdf (application/octet-stream). My copy of my sent email has the same attachment extensions.

Mail and address book data file location

Does anyone know where mail and address book saves its data?
My old mac died but I was able to remove the hard drive and mount it in a external firewire case. The drive mounts and appears in good shape. I tried using the migration utility to transfer my data into my new iMac. While a lot of data and applications did make the move, my mail files and folders did not show up on my new iMac. I'm hoping I can transfer the mail files manually. The problem is I can't find where they are located on my old computer. I was using Max os 10.4.11 on my old computer.
The same problem with my address book data. It did not transfer over with migration app. and I can't locate this data either.

The majority of Mail is in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
AB...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/AddressBook

File adapter(receiver) to generate file in remote windows share folder?

Hello gurus,
1.Is that possible, to use the file adapter(NFS) to generate a file in a remote windows share folder?
How can i specify the target directory field?
2.Another question, when i specify the target directory like rootFolder/subFolder, then the file is generated in the folder
/usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/rootFolder/subFolder.
Why did it put my path as sub-folder of /usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0?
Can i put it in another place? or even start from the root?
Best regards, Charlie

> 1.Is that possible, to use the file adapter(NFS) to generate a file in a remote windows share folder?
This is possible only, when your PI system is installed on Windows OS also.
> How can i specify the target directory field?
The same way as you access it from your Windows Explorer.
> Why did it put my path as sub-folder of /usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0?
Because this is the working directory of the Adapter Engine
> Can i put it in another place? or even start from the root?
Yes, of course. Why you do not simply try it?

Hi,
><i>I changed the mail definition in ximail30_xsd to 0...unbounnd and recreate the external definition andcreated interface based on external definition.</i>
Maybe you can consider using MultiMapping to send the multiple Mails out of XI.

Mail Adapter ZIP File Attachment

Hello,
I have created an interface using the mail receiver to mail a file as an attachment to an email address. I have used an ABAP mapping to create the Mail message associating the required content of Mail message. This all works fine and the emails with the required attachments are delivered successfully.
I now need the ability to ZIP the file attachments. I have had a look through some of the forum messages and it looks like I am going to have to create a java module for the receiver mail adapter to ZIP the file.
Has anyone done this before? If so can you give me some pointers. I have developed modules for the file adapter but am not sure how to ZIP.
Alternatively can this be done as part of the ABAP mapping. I have started looking at class CL_ABAP_ZIP. I am now able to compress the content but this does not create a valid archive as the attachment.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

Dear Sameer ,
Can you send me the Java Code which zips the folder or files .
My email id is [email protected]
