Mail adapter - SCOT needed ?

Hi guys,
I've done the proper configuration of an ABAP application system's target SMTP server (in SCOT), however I am curious is it a must for using successfully the Mail adapter..?
Thanks & Best Regards,

The Mail Adapter of PI does not use SCOT. So you need not maintain SCOT.

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

Adapter Limitations Of Sender JDBC and Mail Adapter

hi All,
could you tell me the limitations of JDBC and Mail Adapter .i need to document these details .
Regards
Vidya Sagar

HI Vidya,
If i was you, i would do a list of things that i would need about these adapters, o i would search the SAP.help documentation for a first view and later ask about this possibility. Another way is to read the SCN doubts about these adapters and you can find some problems. You should think about the PI version as well.

Hi Seeta Ram,
If you want to encrypt e-mails and give them a digital signature in the corresponding receiver agreement in the Integration Server then Security Parameters are used.
Persist Duration is used for security archiving.

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 Configuration - Process Multiple Attachments

Dear sirs,
I need to process several attachments at the same mail message as individual payloads.
In default configuration of sender mail adapter only the body of message is used as payload.
So I added PayloadSwapBean Module at Processing Sequence and it processed the attachment I set in Module Configuration. I'm not able to process all attachments available, just one attachment is sent to PI pipeline.
How can I process all attachments of a single mail message?
Thank you in advance.

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 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.

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.

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.

How to determine the protocol to use in Sender mail Adapter ?

Hi All
Can i use my Microsoft Exhange Server address while configuring Sender Mail Adapter .? If yes , then which protocol i can use out of IMAP and POP ?..
How do i determine which protocol i should use to connect to my exchange server ?
Thanks
rohan

Hi Rohan,
//Can i use my Microsoft Exhange Server address while configuring Sender Mail Adapter .?
Yes, you can.
//If yes , then which protocol i can use out of IMAP and POP ?..
You can use either of them. To know more on IMAP and POP, i would suggest you go through these links,
http://www.trincoll.edu/depts/cc/documentation/email/IMAP_vs_POP/default.htm
http://www.imap.org/papers/imap.vs.pop.brief.html
If your are using IMAP, you will have to specify, which folder from which you wnaty the emmail to be retrived, this is not needed for POP.
Hope this helps,
