Mail Sender Adapter - Attachment Handling

Hello,
I 'm using XI 3.0 SP 14.
I have problems with my Mail-Sender-Adapter.
The mails, I fetch, have an xml-attachment which
represents an IDOC-structure (ORDERS.ORDERS05).
I want to sent this attachment as payload to an SAP-System.
The problem is now, that I have 2 Payloads (SXMB_MONI).
One for the normal email-body and one for my original
xml-attachment. See below:
- <SAP:Payload xlink:href="cid:[email protected]">
<SAP:Name>MailMessage</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Description>mail message</SAP:Description>
<SAP:Type>Application</SAP:Type>
</SAP:Payload>
- <SAP:Payload xlink:href="cid:[email protected]">
<SAP:Name>MailAttachment-1</SAP:Name>
<SAP:Description>mail attachment</SAP:Description>
<SAP:Type>ApplicationAttachment</SAP:Type>
</SAP:Payload>
</SAP:Manifest>
</SOAP:Body>
The XI Runtime Workbench (SXMB_MONI) takes (in my case)
the wrong one (email-body-attachment) and gives me
an parsing error. (Error occurs at my IDOC-Receiver-Adapter)
Now my question:
Can I remove the email-body-attachment, so that
the further processing works with my xml-attachment?
Or how can I resolve my problem.
best regards
Marcel Reichert

Hi Marcel,
use the PayloadSwapBean module to get the attachment as main payload.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2e/bf37423cf7ab04e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
As parameters use:
swap.keyName = payload-name
swap.keyValue = MailAttachment-1

XI mail sender adapter attachment mapping.

I have created a MAIL->XI->RFC scenario.
I have configured sender mail adapter with XIPAYLOAD message protocol.
I have created RFC function which need an attachment as an input parameter.
When I send an email with attachment, my mail adapter separates the input message into MailMessage and MailAttachment payloads. I can do mapping of the MailMessage payload but I need map the attachments to as input parameters of RFC function.
I have read several webblogs about this problem. But I can not use them in this scenario. I have found one webblog with description of MessageTrasferBean module and XSL mapping directli on adapter module but I am not familiar with XLST mapping and did not know how to use it to transform the attachments.
Any help will be appritiated.
Thanx
Peter

Hi,
Am trying the same scenario as you did.
Can you guide me step by step how to read , validate and extract data from attachment.
Am stucked in reading the attachment now.
I can able to get mail but not attachment.
Can you tell the steps that you did.
Thanks in advance,
Sakthi

SOAP Sender Adapter Attachment Handling in Response message

Hi Experts,
I have a SOAP <> XI <> Proxy scenario where an external WS client sends a SOAP request and receives a SOAP response along with an attachment.
The problem is that the WS client is unable to retrieve the attachment from the SOAP response although the SXI_MONITOR shows both the payload and attachment beign sent out. In the SOAP sender I 'DO NOT' tick the 'Keep Attachment' parameter.
If I tick the 'Keep Attachment' parameter, then the payload and attachment both goes as attachment.
I need help in writing an adapter module which would ensure that the payload remains as the main payload and only the additional attachment goes out as an attachment.

Shobhit

IMAP-Mail sender adapter handling with read messages in mailbox

Hi,
(PI 7.0)
we have a "funny" situation:
We are using imap-mail-sender adapter polling a mailbox.
Sometimes there are read messages in mailbox so the adapter cannot read these messages.
When we sort all read messages and we mark e.g. the second message in list as not read, the adapter polls fetch the first (already read) message and afterwards the not-read message and afterwards no other message is read.
I think this behaviour is wrong because pi should not handle an already read meassage.
Does anybody know this problem?
Or is it a problem of the mail-server (Exchange 2003)?
Thanx and regards
Wolfgang

Hi,
thanx for your answer.
The default behaviour of imap is "only fetching unread message" (s. FAQ of mail adapter)...
The mail sender channel with IMAP4 fetches only the unread messages from the specified mail box in the order they are stored. Therefore, please make sure that you have some unread messages in the top of the list (if ordered by most recent on top). After a polling cycle, you can look at the status of this channel at the adapter's monitor. This should show any error if the messages are not processed correctly. Once the messages are read but not processed correctly, they remain in the mail box but are not read in the subsequent polling cycle. You must correct the problem and delete these messages using your mail client program or reset them as unread so that they can be resend.
In our example the adapter fetchs read messages too (till the first unread one) - and this is wrong (i think so!?).
But I dont know if its a MS-Exchange problem.
Regards
Wolfgang

Dude, netiquette. Messages like "i need this now! Do it!" are really offensive and no one here is being payed to answer anyone's questions. We're here because we like to contribute to the community.
Anyway, in your case, just perform some search on how you could filter the files that are attached to the message. The sample module is just an example, you'll have to implement your own. Tips would be to query the filename of the attachments (or maybe content type) and for the ones which are not text, remove them.

Mail Sender Adapter - read from public folder.

Hello Experts.
I have a scenario, where I need to read an incoming mail from a public folder, and after mapping the attachment (which is a csv) I need to put the result as a file in a shared folder.
right now the problem is, I am not sure how to access the public folder.
should I use one of the exchange users, and try to access the public folder?
what should I be writing in the URL parameter in the mail sender adapter ? (imap://server/???/public folder ?)
Also - in case I will want to switch the location of the mail to a private foler inside of the user mailbox - what is the URL parameter in that case?
Anyone ever did something like this and can help?
Thanks,
Imanuel Rahamim.

Hi Imanuel,
do u mean u want to pick the mail which contains an attachement from a specified folder instead of inbox?
u can configure the URL like imap://host:port/path/PublicFolder.
after PI received the mail. we can use PayloadSwapBean to get the attachement payload and do following message mapping.
ur question: Also - in case I will want to switch the location of the mail to a private foler inside of the user mailbox - what is the URL parameter in that case?
do u mean u want to pick the mail from a specified mail account? if like this, create an user for the interface only. then configure the UserName/Password in the channel.
Regards,
Kevin Song

Mail sender adapter POP server not configured for URL access

Hi Experts,
I have a Mail --> PI --> R/3 scenario and I am configuring the Mail sender adapter for POP3. The issue is that the POP server is not configured to be accessed via a URL and hence the URL pop://hostname/ is causing the following error at runtime:
_1. When I use pop://Fully qualified host name/
_Error: exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.UnknownHostException
_2. When I use pop://IP address of host/
_Error: exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.SocketException: Connection timed out:could be due to invalid address
I am able to ping the POP3 server from the PI server using both the FQDN and IP address.
Can someone please help.
Thanks,
Shobhit

xi 3.0 mail adapter with pop3 user authentication problem
810238
XI 3.0 Mail Adapter for POP3 may not report some errors
also check mailserver security settings ...
Connection refused occures when XI cannot connect
in most cases so try checking it again , maybe some ports are not opend on the firewall

Mail Sender Adapter for Exchange 2007 IMAPS account

Hi everybody,
I have the following todo:
I configured a Mail Sender Adapter that is supposed to fetch mails from an IMAP account.
The mails contain text files with data to be processed by XI 3.0 SP 22.
The mail server is Exchange 2007 and requires IMAPS. IMAP is not enough. I read the notes
- 893590 - XI 3.0 Mail sender adapter with IMAP or POP with SSL problem
- 856599 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 / PI 7.1 Mail Adapter
and configured the sender apapter as follows:
URL: imaps://<ip address>/owa
Authentication method: Plain
User: <domain>\<user>
Password: topsecret
Poll Interval: 5
The first challenge is to setup the adapter with SSL. To do so, I added the Exchange server's
root SSL certificate in the default truststore service-ssl via the KeyStorage service.
This is necessary, as far as I know, to successfully validate the Exchange server's trusted
certifacate which is being transfered to XI during SSL handshake.
Since the communication channel in RWB is in status error with following message:
mail client job stopped completly
exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: invalid IMAP status response; not finding * STATUS, but 001I NO owa doesn't exist.
mail client job scheduled,
I do not know how to setup SSL for IMAPS. I successfully tested a PING to the Exchange server.
Are there already experiences with Exchange 2007?
What I have to do to fetch mails from an Exchange 2007 IMAPS folder/account with a Mail Sender Adapter?
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hi,
It should be imap and not imaps.
You can try imap://xxx.xxx.de:993/Inbox
Make sure that port 993 is correct. If you have doubt, then you may try 143 which is default port instead of 993 in the above url.

ganesh.

Mail sender adapter: date

Hi all
I need to fetch the mail date during the processing with mail sender adapter. I can't find a relevant field in the Adapter-Specific Message Attributes (SHeaderFROM, SHeaderTO etc.).
Do you know how to fetch the mail date during the processing of a mail via mail sender adapter?
Thx
Tobias

Thanks for the response.
The problem is that the mail is perhaps not processed when it is created. For example: the mail is created on 01th of april and sent to the mailbox. But the PI mail sender adapter is fetching the mail on 02nd of april. Due to the reason I can't use current date - I need the original sending date of the mail.
Thx

Transport protocol SMTP in Mail Sender Adapter

Hi Experts,
How can I use SMTP as the Transport Protocol instead of POP3 / IMAP4 protocols in the Mail Sender Adapter.
I am referring Note 856599 - FAQ Mail Adapter.pdf but not getting a l
" 9. Other Questions
Q: How can I configure my sender channel for my SMTP server?
A: You can specify your SMTP server as URL. For example, if your
server is called host, your URL should look like
smtp://host:port/ "

Shobhit

Hi
How can I use SMTP as the Transport Protocol instead of POP3 / IMAP4 protocols in the Mail Sender Adapter.
In case of sending mail from XI you can use SMTP. To read mails you need POP3
IMAP works for both.
Yes in XI mail adapter receiver type. URL field you can use URL like
SMTP://Mailhost.com

Problem of encoding for mail sender adapter

Hello, everyone.
I have faced the problem of mail sender adapter.
When someone send message with any content encoding (even UTF-8) and 8bit content type encoding the XI mail adapter corrupt special and foreign symbols. I checked the message for correct structure and encoding with tpcgw utility and it was fine. For example (this is what I can see in tcpgw)
==== Response ====

And after processing by XI mail adapter I have this payload (XIPAYLOAD mode using mail package)
Test
├É┬ó├É┬╡├æ┬ü├æ┬é
The same situation with using mail package in xml document.
Any suggestions how this can be corrected?

I switched UTF-8 encoding during displaying of http content in tcpgw utility and all other mail clients detect it as UTF-8 and work fine. Also this problem occurs with different mail clients that are senders of the message. So it seems adapter takes each byte of cyrillic symbol (each from two) and represents it as individual symbol.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe there is some configuration somewhere allowing to correct or maybe it's possible to write module to correct.. but it's quite complicated to split correct and incorrect symbols.

Help requierd on mail sender adapter

i m workin on a scenario to send email from a mail server inbox to XI.i need to configure mail sender adapter....need step by step help on that.
regards,
latika.

hi latika,
the Message Structure to be defined depends on the message protocol that you are trying to use.
I would recommend using XIPAYLOAD. From the help link,
XIPAYLOAD
In this mode, the content of the e-mail is put in the payload of the XI message. If you do not set the Use Mail Package indicator, the information about the sender (From), receiver (To), and subject of the e-mail is lost.
If you have selected XIPAYLOAD as the message protocol, you must make the following additional specifications under Mail Attributes:
If you want to put the entire e-mail message including the header information (From, To, Subject) in the payload, set the Use Mail Package indicator. See the example below. The header information is included in an XML mail package format.

Source Structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns:Mail xmlns:ns="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
<Subject>Subject</Subject>
<From>[email protected]</From>
<To>[email protected]</To>
<Reply_To />
<Content_Type>text/plain</Content_Type>
<Content>
This is the content.

Mail Sender Adapter with multiple sMIME attachments

Hi!
I 'm using XI 3.0 SP 15.
I have problems with my Mail-Sender-Adapter.
The mails, I fetch, contain a certificate and multiple xml-attachments. The xml's represent an IDOC-structure (INVOIC.INVOIC02).
The task is to first check the certificate, and then to send each of the XML attachments separately to an SAP-System.
1) We have twelve partner which use this e-Invoicing interface. How do I administer the certificates and do I have to create for each partner a "Sendervereinbarung"?
2)
The second problem is, that I have multiple payloads which have to be processed separately. How can this be done?
kind regards and thanks a lot for your help
MArtin

As we have multiple xml-attachments, I guess we have a major problem anyway.
I guess Certificate verification in the sebder agreement is done after the Module Processing of the email-adapter isn't it?
Due to the multiple attachments we have to write a customer specific Module for the email-adapter anyway.
I guess the only way is that the module validates the certificate against the J2EE KeyStore and then extracts the various xml attachments to a file share.
A File sender adapter then polls the file share and the sender aggreement / receiver agreement /mapping ... process starts.
The only question is if the file adapter works also without a sender agreement, so that the xml's are stored on the file share
Do you have an idea, if this works? or do you see any alternatives?
thanks alot for your help!!
