Mail Adapter with payload

Hi all,
I want to set up the following scenario:
An IDoc is sent to XI. One of the 2 receivers is a SAP system. The other receiver is the mail adapter. We want to send the IDoc (complete incomming xml payload) to a mail receiver.
This works if I use the message protocol XIALL in the file adapter configuration. But I would also like to change the subject field dynamically based on the payload.
So I tried to use the mail package with protocol XIPAYLOAD. The result is that I could create the subject field but the mail didn't contain the original payload (res. the IDoc xml) as an attachment. If I activate the "keep attachments" option then the field "contend" is passed as an attachment.
My question: How can I pass the incomming payload to the receiving mail system by using the mail package (in the content field or as attachment)? Or is there any other possibility to change the subject field when I use the XIALL protocol?
/Michael

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

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

Receiver Mail Adapter, Mail Package with Payload as Attachment

Hi Everyone,
I have spent the better part of the day today searching and testing all of the different combinations that I could think of to solve this problem, so please don't just do an SDN search for me and cut/paste in the links as there are too many contradictive answers piling up over the last year.
I am trying to use a Receiver mail adapter to send some data using the mail package, and I want to have the <content> tag be in an attachment. I am using mail package to dynamically set the mail address, but to also try and turn my data into a csv file that the recipient can open in Excel.
My mail package sets the following values:
<Content_Type>text/plain</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment</Content_Disposition>
<Content>Sample Text</Content>
This blog is basically what I am trying to do:
<a href="/people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword:///people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword
But no where in here is he setting ContentDisposition, and he is (potentially) not using the MessageTransformBean module.
It is unclear if I need to use the MessageTransformBean to make this work?
Questions:
1) Do I need to use the MessageTransformBean?
2) Do I need to set the ContentDisposition in the mail package?
3) Does Service Pack matter with these settings? We are on SP15 upgrading to SP18 very soon.
Thanks
Peter

Xi sender mail adapter with attachment (to Web Service w/ attachment)

Hello,
We're working on an XI scenario wherein a sender mail adapter polls an exchange server inbox for mail (with attachment)and sends the attachment to a Web Service via SOAP Adapter? Does anyone know if this is doable, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi!
I think so, if you just have a single attachment to be transferred.
Use the Mail Sender Adapter and specify the MailServer URL etc...
In the Module provessor of the Mail-Adapter you have to specify the PayloadSwapBean ( -> this changes the payload - the attachment becomes the payload)
then you configure the standard XI-scenario with
SenderAgreement
Mapping if necessary
Receiver Agreement

Receiver Mail adapter with txt attachment

I'm having a requirement to transfer Text fiels as-is to email as an attachment.
With the study as of now I came to know that if I use mail adapter I can get my payload as XML attachment.
Can we get text file as attachment instead of XML file in E-Mail?

Sender Mail Adapter with PayloadSwapBean

Hello Experts!
I have a Sender Mail Adapter receiving emails with attachments! I'm using PayloadSwapBean, because I have to manipulate (to do mapping) the XML attachment.
Sender Mail Adapter Configuration:
Default Interface Namespace = urn:mynamespace.com
Default Interface Name = abs_async_myInterface
swap.keyName = Content-Disposition
swap.keyName = Content-Description
swap.keyValue = attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
swap.keyValue = MailAttachment-1
Well, my problems are:
1) Although my Default Interface Namespace is urn:mynamespace.com, sometimes the namespace that cames to SXMB_MONI is http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail. In that case, an Receiver Determination error happens.
2) My XML can be the first (MailAttachment-1), the second (MailAttachment-2), the third (MailAttachment-3), or any other attachment position. Since my swap.keyValue is set to "MailAttachment-1", I'm able to pick the XML only if it is the first attachment.

Hi Julio,
Writing an Adapter Module for the same can make your task easy.

Receiver Mail Adapter with external Email-Provider

Hi everyone,
I have implemendet an Scenario with a receiver Mail Adapter. With using the SAP-Mail-Server it works fine.
Now I want to use an external Email Provider like GMX or yahoo. But the Parameter e.g. smtp://mail.gmx.net does not work.
Is this generally with an external Email Provider possible?
Thanks in advice
Christoph

Hi,
of course it is, but:
your XI has to see the external provider = opened ports

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.

Sending File as attachment using Mail adapter with naming convention

Dear All,
I am working on a scenario in which my sender file adapter is sending one file named 'ABC.ok' in one of the folders in application server. I have to send the same file with the same name to one of the folders at FTP and also to my customer at his email id.
I have used File Content onversion at the receiver side and has selected adapter specific attributes due to which the required file is getting generated at FTP folder with the same name as that of the source. But how to send the same file using the mail adapter by keeping same name as "ABC.ok". Kindly guide me out in this.
Regards,
NJ

what you need to do:
1) Select ASMA in Sender and receiver File CC...already done
2) Using the Dynamic Config UDF get the sender file name in the field Content-Type...for this you need to have a return statement in your UDF
3) now before pushing this file name to the Content-Type you have to append (concat)the actual type of the file content (xml, txt)
so your entire Content-Type node will have something like text/plain; name="abc.ok"
SAP Note has reference on how to do this:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/856599
From the note:
Q: How can I set the file name of a mail attachment?

Receiver Mail adapter with multiple mail ids

Hi Experts,
I am doing File to Mail scenario.
I am generating mail package structure using Java mapping.
Email is not going to multiple mail ids mentioned in To field.
I tried with , and ; but for both it is behaving strange:
When using ,(coma)
in case of multiple receivers:
only last mail id will receive mail in Inbox
when using ;(semicolon)
Every email id person will receive mail but with same name listed under To: that is last mail id.
For example:
To: abc.at.test.com,xyzat.est.com,def.at.est.com
Then only def.at.test.com will receive mail
In case of semicolon(;):
Every mail id will receive mail in Inbox, that is abc.at.test.com,xyz.at.test.com,def.at.test.com
will get mail in their respective mail box, but all mails will have same TO field: def.at.test.com
I hope it is cleared.
If you want I can send outlook mail headers from outlook.
Best Regards,
Divyesh

Multiple attachment in sender mail adapter with PI 7.11

Hello all,
I've got a scenario MAIL -> PI -> MAIL.
In my sender adapter mail, i have two attachment.
From what i've saw on different thread, it wasn't possible to handle this case in standard with PI 7.0.
Is it possible now with PI 7.11 ? Or must i develop a specific module for that ?
Thank you.

Hi Jean ,
I got the same issue too, the Scenario is MAIL ->FILE . Mail Sender Adapter picks up the 1 PDF attachment and saves in network folder successfully but not multiple attachments of a mail.
These are the setting in Module configuration I made:
1. The IMAPS was used in Mail Sender Adapter : imaps://10.192.101.16:993/Inbox
*IP address of the Mail Server was got from the Admin )
2. Ports : 143, 993 are opened for the Mail Server to access for XI SERver ( Raised an Ticket to open Ports of Mail server :NZTxxx.dknz.nzcorp.net)
3. As the attachment was only in PDF : Added swapbean in Module tab as below :
Process Sequesnce :
-Make sure: AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Modul key : TRANSFORM is added before sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
-And under Module Configuration select : TRANSFORM as Module Key and add >
swap.keyName Content-Disposition
swap.keyName Content-Description
swap.keyValue attachment;filename='MailAttachment-1.pdf"
swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
-IF you get to know how to fetch multiple attachment , Please update.
Thanks,
