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]

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.

Mail adapter flat file attachment

From my limited knowledge of XI, I know that we can send an email attachment as an .xml file or a binary file. My question is how can I send a flat file as an attachment using XI's mail adapter? If this is possible, please suggest steps how to do this as I am clueless!!
Thanks for your help...

Hi,
check out this Blog you will be able to do it.
You can do either using Mail package or just using Mail adapter.

Zip file attachment errors

Hi,
I have written a simple email client that sends a multipart message with a zip file attachment. I have written another email client that receives that email. I built it from looking at the javamail samples and the JGuru tutorial. Everything works fine on one mail host I am using, but I get errors on another email host. The two errors I see are....
javax.mail.internet.ParseException
 at javax.mail.internet.ParameterList.<init>(ParameterList.java:61)
 at javax.mail.internet.ContentType.<init>(ContentType.java:83)
 at javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.parse(MimeMultipart.java:269)
 at javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.getCount(MimeMultipart.java:159)
and...
javax.mail.MessagingException: Missing start boundary
 at javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.parse(MimeMultipart.java:297)
 at javax.mail.internet.MimeMultipart.getCount(MimeMultipart.java:159)
both of these errors occur when I call the MultiPart.getCount() method. I have seen a lot of similar posts here, but no solution. One hint at what my problem might be is that the host that I get the error on is in Europe. The most confusing thing is that other than having a different boundary, the received message that works correctly looks identical to the one that doesn't work.
Any ideas on what the problem is?
Thanks.

Yes, I am having the same issue. But I am seeing these issue after the exchange server is upgraded to 2003. It seems like there is an issue with Message format in Exchange 2003. Any idea what we need to do fix this issue?

I receive many e-mails with zipped files. I can no longer open or unzip my files. A window welcoming me to Application Loader drops down. It prompts for an iTunes Connect login, but will no accept my iTunes login. I have no way to open or unzip my files. Help!!!!

Application Loader, unless there's another one I'm not familiar with, is part of the iOS SDK. That have usurped the .zip, or you may have removed that application but your Mac is still holding onto the mapping of Zip files to that application. Select a .zip file in Finder, Get Info, and go to the Open with section. Select Archive Utility and click Change All. That should fix the problem.

XI Mail Adapter TXT file as attachment

Hi, I am using Mail Receiver adapter to receive data from Sender ABAP Proxy.The attachment file contains data with all Labels, i used in the Target Message Type.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:XogisticsOB_MT1 xmlns:ns0="http://selectcomfort.com/sapcrm/xogistics/outbound"><HEADER1000><EDI_HEADER_STR></EDI_HEADER_STR><TASK_ID>8000001959</TASK_ID><TOT_BOXES> 1</TOT_BOXES><NAME_LAST>Di Capri</NAME_LAST><NAME_FIRST>Sheela</NAME_FIRST>
Please let me know how can i exclude these labels such as

from appearing in the File Content.
The ModuleKey contains
Transform.ContentDisposition attachment;filename="Outbound1.txt"
Transform.ContentDescription Outbound1
Transform.ContentType text/txt;name="Outbdound1.txt"
Thanks.

Hi,
If ur using the mail adapter as receiver then if u dont use mail package then the attachment will come as it is file.
If u use mail package then it will come in XML format
for reference please check some links.

Zip file attachment

Hello,
we are searching for an answer to the following problem...
We are trying to send an email with an attached file via the email adapter. We are using the mail package format for sending the email. The content of the mail package is converted into an file attachment in the mail adapter. Because we have to define the attachment name we use the MessageTransformationBean to change it.
Now we want to zip the attached file... Can anyone give me a hint, how to realize it? Have we write a module, which we have to call inside the mail adapter? If so, where must we place this module in the EJB sequence?
Thank you for your replies...
Best regards,
Lars

Hi Palaniraja,
thank you for your answer...
My question to your suggestion is, can we use it in our case? Because we generate the attached file with the email adapter. I don't know exactly if the file is already send, if we place the module behind the mail adapter EJB. Or must we place it before this EJB. Which step will be the best time to place the new module? Before or after the mail adapter EJB?
It would be great to get the code from your site... Could you please send the code to my EMail address from my Business Card?
Thanks a lot...
Regards,
Lars

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.

Mail Adapter Change File Extension

We have the receiver mail adapter setup to send the contents of a message to an internal email account. The adapter works and the message arrives as a soap.xml and payload.xml. The problem is that our mail system blocks the xml extension. Is there an easy way to switch the extensions from say xml to txt on the messages.
It looks like the PayloadSwapBean module can change the content type, but I just want to alter the extensions. I know I could use an XSLT to convert the contents to html and then just send the message as an html email but I was hoping to avoid design changes.

J,
Check note : 856599
Q: Can I choose the name of an attachment in the mail?
 A: Yes. Most mail clients use some heuristics based on some MIME headers to derive the name of an attachment. The MIME headers involved in most heuristics are Content-Type, Content-Description, and Content-Disposition. When you create an XI message, the XI payload name is automatically set in the Content-Description. If you want to change or set all of these headers, you can use the MessageTransformBean module (Note 793922) in the adapter framework.
 Related questions: How can I set the file name of a mail attachment?
Q: How can I set the file name of a mail attachment?
 There are several MIME headers that play a role in how the client retrieves the file name of an attachment. Unfortunately, this behavior differs among various mail clients. The reason for this inconsistent behavior comes from the fact that this mechanism has been extended incrementally. The old way is to use the name parameter in the Content-Type header as specified in RFC1341. For example, you can set the content type of an XML attachment as:
 Content-Type: application/xml; name="abc.xml"
 RFC1521 discourages the use of this name parameter in anticipation of the new header Content-Disposition, which is defined in RFC1806.
 With this Content-Disposition header, you can set the file name as:
 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="abc.xml"
 Some clients may show the Content-Description value as the file name. The Content-Description header is typically used to associate some descriptive information to an attachment (RFC1341) as in
 Content-Description: my xml file
 To avoid potential interpretation problems, it is recommended to combine the use of these headers.
How to use MailPackage in Receiver?
 A: When a mail message is sent out by the receiver adapter, normally the mail header information such as "From", "To", "Subject" are taken from the channel configuration. In order to dynamically set these headers, you can use the MailPackage mode. In this case, the XI payload must be formated in the Mail Package XML format. The format of this mail package XML document is defined in note 748024.
Use the mail Package and the set the Content-Disposition with the file name and extension.
