Mail Adapter: XIALL and attachments

Hi All,
I have a scenario with Sender Mail adapter, where I need data from both the Mail and the attachment.
I tried using XIALL, but get a SAXParserException.
Is there any other way that I can use both Main Payload as well as Attachment fields?
Regards,
Puloma.

Like i mentioned only one of the two ( eithetr the attachment or the payload ) can be used as the source of your mapping.
You might have to consider another option for this.
Either use a BPM in your mapping and have duplicatre mails in your mail box. So, you can have both these attachment and the main paylaod in the different Receive step in your BPM and then have a N:1 mapping inside the BPM.

Receiver Mail Adapter - Body and Attachment

Hello All,
Based on the document How to Use the Mail Adapter of the XI 3.0 J2EE Adapter Engine section 3.2.4 says that the payload of the message is sent as the body and an attachment when the Keep Attachments checkbox is configured. By default, the payload of the message is also sent as an attachment.
In testing this feature - if it is checked I get the attachment - if it is not checked I get the payload in the body of the email. I do not get both.
I am using an xslt mapping.

Thank you so much for your patience. The mapping works if I do not use the extra content_type tags. Do I need to include the Mime-Version: 1.0....also, notice the
<Content_Type>multipart/mixed; boundary="b1"</Content_Type>
Versus
<Content>--b12 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit My Order --b1
Your example shows use of Content-Type - and the XSLT sample shows <Content_Type> Do you know what the correct format is to use?.
I changed my xsl per your instructions.

Retrieval of attachment filename - receiver mail adapter

Hi,
I am using the mail adapter to receive an e-mail into PI. This e-mail has an attached CSV file.
First, I am using the PayloadSwapBean to swap the application playload to the attachment payload
Second, I am using the MessageTransformBean to transform the CSV file into an XML document
These are both working fine and the message is then passing into the relevant message mapping.
However, I would like to be able to use the attachment filename in the message mapping.
Can anyone advise how to do this for the mail adapter ?
I've done it loads of times for the file adapter but never the mail adapter (when using attachments) so I am a bit stumped.
Any advice greatly received.
Cheers
Colin.

Hi Progirl,
I want to dynamically set the name of attachment in receiver mail Communication Channel.
Example: IN__9907211000004_4048454000005_20081211_01000000002643
The first two numbers 9907211000004 & 4048454000005 I want to read it from the message
20081211 this is the date and
And againg this number 01000000002643 is read from message.
I read from your response. You had created adapter module for the similar purpose. Can you share it. Since I am new to writing Adapter Module.
Thank You in Advance.

Configuring Mail Adapter as sender

Hello,
I'd like to ask for some help with configuration of SAP XI mail adapter as sender. I made a communication chanel with mail adapter type and specified transport protocol POP3, URL (pop3://localhost), user, password and poll interval. The problem is that XI doesn't trigger the
process, in other words it doesn't connect to my email server to receive the mail. What could be wrong? To test the environment, I made a test case withmail adapter as a receiver - and it works ok - it sends mail via my email server - so SMTP is working fine.
Thank you,
Igor

The correct URL is: pop://localhost
Which Mail-Server do you use?

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.

Rename the zip file and send it using the Receiver Mail Adapter

Hi,
We have a custom module that will create multiple attachments. The result is then passed to the PayloadZipBean, which zips as per required.
When we output this to a file adapter, we provide the file name as say "zippedfile.zip" the result is as expected.
For example, if the custom module created 3 attachments with the names as file1.txt, file2.txt and file3.txt, the zip file zippedfile.zip, will contain 3 files as file1.txt, file2.txt and file3.txt.
The issue that we are facing is when we use the mail adapter, the zip file is getting renamed to file1.txt.zip i.e to say that it takes the name of the main payload from the custom module (file1.txt)
TextPayload txtpayload = message.getDocument();
txtpayload.setContentType("text/plain");
txtpayload.setName("file1.txt");
moduleData.setPrincipalData(message);
We tried using the MessageTransformbean but it doesn't seem to change the name of the file.
Not sure where we are going wrong. Is it that the output of the payloadzipbean cannot be used and altered by MessageTransformbean?
Is there any alternative as to rename the name of zipfiles and use it in the mail adapter?
Appreciate any help on this regard.
Regards,
Shabz

Solved.
use Transform.ContentDisposition - attachment;filename="youfilename"
Do read the mail adapter FAQ.
The parameter can vary for different mail client.

Read multi-tabbed excel file attachments from Sender Mail Adapter.

There is a need to read excel attachments from incoming email to a
mailbox. We know we can use Sender Mail adapter to easily read .xml, .txt
or .csv attachments.
For excel attachments we know from SDN that you have to write
adapter modules to handle excel. However the excel file we need to read has
multiple worksheets(tabs) and data may be contained in any of them.
Is it possible to use SAP XI Mailsender adapter to read such a file as an attachment? What kind of module development would we need for this? I am not much of a Java programmer so examples or links to other documentation would help.
Thanks,
Rudra

Rudra,
Use Java Mapping. There is a free java api available called JExcelAPI to achieve this.
Shabarish's blog describes about this. This might be helpful to you

Query related to multiple attachments in mail adapter

Hi,
I have a query related to multiple attachments in receiver mail adapter.
I have successfully configured mail related scenarios but now I have another requirement in which I have multiple source files in one directory and I want to send one mail for multiple files as mail attachment using receiver mail adapter. Can anybody help me how to achieve multiple attachments in reciever mail adapter.
To clarify the requirement more let us take an example
Ex: I have 5 input files in the source which I pick up using additional files option in the sender file adapter, now I want to send those 5 files into one mail with 5 attachments. Can anybody explain how 5 different payload will be sent as multiple attachments in one mail.
For your information I used, options like "keep attachments" , some parameters in module processesors etcs...but not able to find out as how exactly it will be achieved.......I dont want to use BPM collect pattern for this.....
Need your help on this issue. Please suggest the solution as how it can be achieved using receiver mail adapter.

Mail Adapter to Soap Adapter keeping the attachments - How?

Hi guys,
I am working on a scenario where I should pull emails from an Exchange server and I should forward them (with their attachments) to a separate systems via a Web Service.
So far I have been able to pull the emails using the Mail Adapter and I get to see them in the monitoring tool of PI with their attachment(s). But what I am not sure of is how I should forward these emails to the external system using a web service.
This system should expose this web service that should use something similar to SOAP with attachments (I guess) and then PI should forward these attachments using the receiver SOAP adapter with the "keep attachments" option selected.
Is this something that could work as simply as this (by configuring these two adapters to keep their attachments) OR will I need to do some more fancy stuff?
Thanks for any advice you can give me on this.
Aldo

Hi Stefan,
thanks for your replay.
Yes, I understand that the mail should be in an XML message. And with that part we are doing OK. We have managed to send the XML between the systems.
However, what I don't understand is how to pass the attachments.
How should the receiving system receive them? if they are not in the XML message itself how are these going to be passed over?
Will the SOAP envelop have some kind of link or reference to the attachments?
The receiving system is a SAP CE system and it's based on Java. Can they expose a service that will somehow handle these attachments?
Could you explain this part to us? this is where we get confused.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Aldo

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...

Receiver mail Adapter Rename Attachments

Hi Experts,
In an Proxy --> XI --> Mail scenario, how do I configure the Mail Receiver Adapter to rename attachments?
There is a PDF file and a DOC file that the Proxy is sendign to PI and I can see them in the payload with filenames file1.pdf and file2.doc
How do I configure the Mail receiver adapter to send them as attachments retaining the same filenames? Can I atleast assign any other name to the files?
Any method other than writing own Adapter Module?
Regards,
Shobhit

Hi Shobhit
If the attachment name is not dynamic (like timestamp) etc then you can use MessageTransformBean to change the attachment name at Mail adapter level.
Transform.ContentDisposition attachment;filename ="yourfilename.extension"
Transform.ContentDescription attachment name
Transform.ContentType your type like text/plain or application/pdf.
If you are using Mail package then you can set the attachment name from mapping itself.(here even Timestamp and Dynamic values work)
Thanks
