Mail adapter scenario

Hi
I require some input on including a mail adapter to an existing scenario
The scenarios is as follows,
I have to create some files around 20 and place them in two folders , that build has been done and tested , so I have a multi mapping , for those 20 files , and enhanced interface determination and is working fine
Now a new requirement is to send an email ,
kindly tell me the steps in IR and ID to include the mail adapter in this interface ??
considering it as an additional feature, nthing to do with Files ,,,
which means that an email adapter has to be called with the file adapters ( not before not after....the precedence doesnt matter )
its just that along with creating the files an email has to be sent ... thats all
I want to know what am i required to create :
in IR : is there a separate interface required .. smthing to do in mapping also ? i am presuming not since it is inbound
in ID : can i create a dummy busines service and what all do i need to create ???
please help
thanks
Dev

Hi,
You create a message type for mail adapter and an message interface. You can also use the predefined message type from sap. So now in multimapping you add this message type and map from your source to this mail mapping. Add the same message interface in interface mapping.
Create a mail receiver communicaiton channel with your mailbox parameters. Then add this to your receiver determination. Also you need to create a receiver agreement for this one.
You can see some help here:

You can do a search for more blogs and tutorials on mail adapter.

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.
Regards,
Jin

File to mail adapter scenario.

Hi All,
i have a file to mail adapter scenario.
here i get the data from tthe different vendors and what ever comes in should be validated and if needed sent as an attachment or detached from the message and then from receiver mail adpter to application server..if possible content conversion has to be done.
my questions are...
1.whare should we validate the data..is it in the XI server or receiver mail adapter..
if so..how to do that validation
2.how can we send as attachments ..
3.how can we detach them..i.e if attachments are not required 4.if content conversion conversion has to be done where is that done..
4.after coming out of the receiver adapter....how can we send it to the appliocation server.
Thanks in advance..
cheers,

Raghavesh,
Not sure if i follow the entire question.
>here i get the data from tthe different vendors and what ever comes in should be validated
I guess you are getting files using the file adapter.
>and if needed sent as an attachment or detached from the message and then from receiver mail adpter to application server..if possible content conversion has to be done.
Not sure I follow this part. You validate your incoming file and what do you do
1. If the file is valid?
2. If the file is invalid?
are you sending mails in both cases.
Like pinted out there are multiple places where validations can be done,
1. Module --> https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f013e82c-e56e-2910-c3ae-c602a67b918e
2. Mapping --> Graphical / Java
There are many options and they all depend on the incomuing payload and the entire process.
So , if you can give us more details, maybe an optimum solution can be discusses.

Bhavesh

Need to send a mail back to the user in Sender Mail adapter Scenario

Hi all,
I have a scenario where the user fills the Price form or the Article form (which is a Adobe Form).When the user clicks on the "submit" button,the form is converted into xml , gets attached to the mail and sent to PI.
Now the user sometimes attaches the pdf directly instead of submitting the form. This results in the mail being sent
with pdf as attachment.
Now my requirement is to send a mail back to the user asking them to send an xml instead of a pdf.
How can this be done ?
Kindly let me know friends.
Quick Response is appreciated.

hi Sanjay,
Have a look on Michal's blog, it's for JMS, but it works for others: [PI/XI: Quick tip: Preserving attributes of XI messages via MultipartHeaderBean|PI/XI: Quick tip: Preserving attributes of XI messages via MultipartHeaderBean]

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.

Hi
f i create like this Receiver CC (module Tab)
number: 1
Module Name: localejbs/CreateAttachment
Module Type: Local Enterprise Bean
Module Key: mail
is it enough? do i need any other setting like this
Did you deployed CreateAttachment on PI server. As this is not a standard SAP module this is a custom module?
mail as module key is already used by XIMAILAdapterBean use some other key for CreateAttachment
Settings are fine for the Module
Processing Sequence
localejbs/CreateAttachment Local Enterprise Bean XML2Plain
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration
XML2Plain Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
In this:
Module Key: XML2Plain
Parameter Name: Transform.Class
Parameter Value: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
is it right?
Processing sequence is fine
XML2Plain Transform.ContentType text/plain;charset=utf-8
XML2Plain xml.Header1000.fieldFixedLengths 100,10,10,30,30,80,80,20,10,10,20,20,30,10,18,240,10,30,18,10
XML2Plain xml.Header2000.fieldFixedLengths 100,30,40,240
XML2Plain xml.addHeaderLine 0
XML2Plain xml.conversionType StructXML2Plain
XML2Plain xml.recordsetStructure Header1000,Header2000
can i anyone explain how to these settings?
Is this key valid to provide inputs to the module check with the code for this module
This looks like valid for MessageTransformBean ro StrictXMLtoPlainBean
Thanks

Error in receiver Mail Adapter of PI 7.1

Hi Team,
I had configured Mail Receiver Adapter in PI 7.1 with the following Parameters.
I had imported the XSD given & Mapped only Subject, From, To, Content fields.
In Receiver Communication Channel parameters are
*Transport Protocol = SMTP
Message Protocol = XIALL
URL = SMTP url given
Authentication Method = Plain
User/ Password given for my id only
MAIL Attributes
From, To = my own company id
Content Encoding = base64*
These are the seeing i had done for Mail Receiver Communication Channel
When I test by HTTP, i am getting Succesful in Moni & in Adapter i am finding this error.
com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Error: invalid XIMailAdapter channel 'b7b80e17d9e336b38354f663c01aed68'
Mail Settings have been done in System, got even Test mails from System.
Thanks in Advance,
Sriram

See, the XSD that you are referring or the blog is referring needs to be imported under External Definitions and directly use it in message interface & message mapping ....you dont again need to create a DT based on that XSD!......you will need a DT & MT just on the sender side (in your particular case)
So just create the DT for sender (you seem to have done this part).....import the XSD into IR from this location
https://websmp205.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012006153200000361852004E/ximail30_xsd.txt
use it on the receiver side.....The only thing that i wanted to mention is that when you enter the Subject, To, From details in CC you can even design your own DT for receiver side
I hope that you are entering the URl in this format --> smtp://<the url>
Check this thread :invalid XIMailAdapter
and this blog to confirm your settings: /people/prasad.ulagappan2/blog/2005/06/07/mail-adapter-scenarios-150-sap-exchange-infrastructure
