Modifying Name of XML E-Mail Attachment

Hey all
I need to know how I can change the name of the xml-attachment using the submit function.
My current code looks as follows:
<event activity="click" name="event_click">
<submit format="xml" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=test&body=text" textEncoding="UTF-8">
</event>
Currently the attached xml-file is automatically named “filename_Daten.xml”.
The goal is to generate the filename dynamically depending on certain values.
Thanks for helping me.

As far as i know you can't change the File name using Adobe scripts; however it is possible if you submit the form to a server-side script such as ASP.net, that can parse the submission data and inject it into an SMTP message.

How to send incoming XML as mail-attachment

Hi Experts,
I have the following scenario: an incoming XML-file should be send as attachment of a mail. Now, I have defined incoming message with the structure of the xml-message and outgoing message as mail-package. In the message mapping I fill the nessesary mail-fields. In my receiver comm.channel (mailadapter) I checked "Use mail package" and "Keep attachment".
Result is that the mail is created and send ok, but without attachment....what am I doing wrong here?
Regards,
William

Hi JWD,
You should configure the mail adapter with 'use the mail adpater' and 'keep attachments'.
Create an XML file conform the XML structure provide by SAP
The mail package should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ns:MT_Mail_Sent xmlns:xi="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
<xi:Mail>
<Subject>Item</Subject>
<From>MAIL ADDRESS</From>
<To>MAIL ADRESS</To>
<Content_Type>multipart/mixed; boundary="AaBb--984dfgeSSd3532"</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment</Content_Disposition>
<Content>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain
this is sample data.
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain;name="CSV_data.csv"
Order number;Item number;description<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="Article_line">
<xsl:value-of select="Ord_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Item_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Description<xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:for-each>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain;name="TXT_data.txt"
Order number;Item number;description<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:for-each select="Article_line">
<xsl:value-of select="Ord_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Item_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Description<xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:for-each>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
</Content>
</xi:Mail>
</ns:MT_Mail_Sent>
In the above example you should have some content and 2 attachments (1 csv file and 1 txt file).
After each break (AaBb984dfgeSSd3532) specify again the 'Content-Type'.
*When you want to send a message payload as described, you have to set in the mail receiver channel the parameter Content Encoding to None and uncheck Keep Attachments.
The last boundary AaBb984dfgeSSd3532 should be omitted, as the mail adapter sets that border itself (tested with SP16)*
Reward points if this helps

How to keep the new modified name when sendind through Mail?

Is there any way to keep the name I just modified in iPhoto when I send it via Mail directly from iPhoto?
I just tried and I see the original dscxxx name in the received email!
Thanks

nicohus
in a word, no.
But in the dialogue box that you get when you click the email button tick Include Titles and the email will have the Title attached to file, without renaming it. If you want the titles to become your File Names the only way to do this is to export the files from iPhoto, using the File -> Export -> Name: Use Title command, and then re-import the files to iPhoto.

Send XML File as attachement in Mail Receiver adapter

Hi all,
i have the following scenario. i would like to read an XML file from the file system and send this file as an attachement of a mail to a mail receiver specified in this file.
i would like to fill the payload of the mail with some information from the xml file and in addition i would like to send the complete xml file as an mail attachement.
can anybody tell me, how the mail receiver adater needs to be specified ?
best regards,
martin

Hey,
you can go for dynamic configuration of mail adapter.
In this you need to import a mail structure.
mail details such as to, from, subject and content of the mail are a part of the structure.
In your ID check the Use Mail package and also keep attachments.
Now you can give your details in mapping itself.
whatever you want to map in the content of the mail, map it in the content field.
also your file will behave as an attachment.
refer to this blog.
this is the mail structure. Import it as extenal definitions.

Java Mapping: payload as mail attachment and dynamic file name .

Hi,
I have written this piece of java code.
The code includes XPATH for fetching dynamic filename and the copysource( in, out ) to copy the content of payload as mail attchment.
The code seems to work fine, when either of the functionality is implemented.
but when both are implemented together ie parsing for xpath then again parsing to copy payload, then it doesnt executes the latter path i.e the payload is not fetched in the attachment.
public class MailPackage implements StreamTransformation {
public void setParameter(Map map) {
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
          throws StreamTransformationException {
String mailSubject = "test mail";
String mailSender = "aaaaaaaa";
String mailReceiver = "[email protected]";
String attachmentName = null;
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = null;
factory.setNamespaceAware(false);
factory.setValidating(false);
     try {
          builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
     Document doc = null;
      doc = builder.parse(in);
          String XPATH ="/*/Invoice/InvoiceHeader/InvoiceNumber/text()";
          Node fieldValueNode = org.apache.xpath.XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(doc,XPATH);
          System.out.print(fieldValueNode);
          attachmentName = fieldValueNode.getNodeValue() +".xml";
String boundary = "--";
String mailContent = "This is a sample file";
String CRLF = "\r\n";
    //     create XML structure of mail package
    String output ="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"

           + "<Content_Type>multipart/mixed; boundary=\"" + boundary + "\"</Content_Type>"
           + "<Content>";
    out.write(output.getBytes());
    // create the declaration of the MIME parts
    //First part
    output = "--" + boundary + CRLF

    out.write(output.getBytes());
    //Source is taken as attachment
    copySource(in, out);
    out.write("</Content></ns:Mail>".getBytes());
} catch (Exception ie) {
    throw new StreamTransformationException(ie.getMessage());
protected static void copySource(InputStream in, OutputStream out)throws IOException {
    byte[] bbuf = new byte[in.available()];
    int bblen = in.read(bbuf);
   if (!(bblen < 0)) {
      String sbuf = new String(bbuf);
       //replace all control characters with escape sequences
     sbuf = sbuf.replaceAll("&", "&");
     sbuf = sbuf.replaceAll("\"", """);
     sbuf = sbuf.replaceAll("'", "'");
    sbuf = sbuf.replaceAll("<", "<");
    sbuf = sbuf.replaceAll(">", ">");
    out.write(sbuf.getBytes());
Povide your suggestions.

Hi,
This is the sample o/p that I get by opening the mail attachment using notepad.

ARN">DAL
CH</ItemDeliveryReferenceValue><ItemDeliveryReferenceValue ItemDeliveryReferenceType="FNO">mmmmmmmmm</ItemDeliveryReferenceValue><ItemDeliveryLocation>pppp</ItemDeliveryLocation><ItemReferenceLocalDate
If you notice the problem is, the undesired "exclamation mark" that gets added in some fields before the actual value.
In the above case.. look at "ItemDeliveryReferenceType="! ARN">DAL"
the exclamation mark before value "ARN is unwanted, which leads to improper XML formation.
Cant figure out why is this coming.

Hi,gurus:
Our scenario is like below:
Sending files from an FTP server to another FTP server without using the integraiton repositary,and the file name is not changed .Now, we want to also send the file to some with by mail adapter.The scenario now works by using two business services in receiver determination.But the name of the attachment is "untitled.xml".We know how to set the file name staticly,but how to set the name dynamicly according to the source file name ?
I have checked miachel's blog "XI: Dynamic name in the mail attachment - pseudo "variable substitution"(/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/02/23/xi-dynamic-name-in-the-mail-attachment--pseudo-variable-substitution),but how can I get the source file name?
And another question:Must we restart the adapter or j2ee engine to make the user defined module work?

Hi,

How to keep same sender file name for receiver mail attachement

Now i am able to send the file but the flat is getting converted as an xml file. is there any method to keep the same sender file name and type for receiver mail attachment. i am not using any mail package. i am using XI payload and keep attachments.
Thanks in advance.
-Siva

Hi,
Yes,With out using the mail package u can send the Mail Attachments to the receiver side,
In that case no need of Integration Repository objects.

Dynamic file name as mail attachment in receiver Mail Adapter?

Hi,
Can any one tell the possibility of attaching file as a mail attachment without using mail Package with dynamic filename.
Business requirement is to send error response as mail attachment with dynamic name.
Ex: Error_Response_20110802_13.24 where 20110802 is Date and next part represents time stamp.
File attachment name should change dynamically in Mail receiver Adapter. Thanks
Regards,
Sreeramulu Konjeti.

there is no standard way.
you will have to write a module to get this in place.
other ways are;

Mail Attachment with attachment name = mail subject name

Hi,
I am using the mail adapter and today I am using hard codes attachment names using the MessageTransformBean. I have read the blog /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/02/23/xi-dynamic-name-in-the-mail-attachment--pseudo-variable-substitution about dynamic filenames but how do I get the eMail subject as a viriable to create the attachment?
Thanks
Juergen

Juergen my weblog was the simplest suggestion to your issue - you can put the mail subject anywhere in
message get it (and remove) in the adapter module
you can also try to get the
Adapter-Specific Message Attributes from the adapter module
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/09b16006526e72e10000000a422035/content.htm
but I'm not sure it the second solution works with adapter modules - but you can do an easy check

Pdf file name in mail attachment

Hi All,
For sales order invoice, there is an output type configured which sends the output smartform as pdf attachment in mail.
The sending medium is 'External send' (Type 5). I want to know how I can give a specific name to this pdf file attachment.
Since there is no coding involved in generating this pdf attachment, i don't know how to achieve it.
Can I pass it when i call the function module of the smartform ?
Please help.
Regards

Hi,
In your driver program, the title for the pdf has to be provided in the import structure for the smartform with name "OUTPUT_OPTIONS" of type SSFCOMPOP.
In it, use try field TDTITLE or TDCOVTITLE. I don't exactly remember which 1 of these 2, so try both.

XI mail adapter - File name should be same in attachment

Hi all,
Here is our scenario:
First part of our scenario involves picking *.pgp (e.g. addressB.pgp) file from partner FTP server and after decrypting put it on local Unix path - This part works ok
In second part, we send this file by mail to static mail receivers as attachment
(Message Protocol - XIPAYLOAD, Use Mail Package and Keep Attachments unchecked)
When we receive this file as attachment, the attachment name is some random value, we need to keep the attachment name same.
i.e. If we are picking and sending file "addressB.txt" then in mail attachment name should be "addressB.txt"
Please suggest how this can be done
Thanks
Girish

Hi Girish,
We have a same scenario where XI is picking file from R/3 directory and sending it as a mail attachment without any mapping,the attachment name was supposed to be same,ex: abc.csv.
I had the same problem,that every time I used to receive a randon attachment name like att34.txt,etc (recipient might be afraid that this is a virus )
To resolve this,please add these modules in your mail receiver:
1     localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean     Local Enterprise Bean     Transform
Transform     Transform.ContentDisposition     attachment;filename="abc.csv"
Transform     Transform.ContentType                          text/plain;charset="UTF-8"
If you use this,your attachment name will always be abc.csv.
Kindly let us know if this works for you.
Thanks.
Regards,
Shweta

Sending XML file as attachment in E-mail

Hi,
I'm facing a problem with sending e-mails with an XML-file as attachment. Scenario is as follows:
- I collect the payload from XI with FM 'SXMB_READ_MESSAGE_VERSION_RAW'.
- This payload is in the form of an xstring.
- I convert this xstring to binary content by using FM 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
    buffer                = lv_buffer
* APPEND_TO_TABLE       = ' '
IMPORTING
    output_length         = lv_i
TABLES
    binary_tab            = lt_conhex.
The itab lt_conhex is of type solix_tab.This is used finally to send the mail via class CL_BCS following normal procedures. Now when I open the e-mail with attachments I get the error that in the last line of my xml-file some squares are placed, which causes the document to open incorrectly. When I delete the squares via e.g. notepad and open my xml-file again in my internet browser, it opens correctly.
If I look at the contents of the solix_tab I see that the last line of the hexadecimal values are zero's, probably causing the XML file to be attached/oopened incorrectly. Is there any way to replace these zero's with some hexadecimal value in order to display my XML-file correctly?
Kind regards!

Thanks Sandra,
Overlooked that parameter. Indeed if you take the XSTRLEN of the document and place this in the method for creating the attachment it works fine.
CALL METHOD lo_email->add_attachment
EXPORTING
    i_attachment_type      = ls_email-type
    i_attachment_subject   = ls_email-subject
    i_att_content_hex      = ls_email-content_hex
    i_attachment_size      = ls_email-content_length.
By the way...if you're dealing with PDF documents this documentlength doesn't matter.

When I open up an e-mail attachment a box pops up PRINT TO FILE below that line OUTPUT FILE NAME with an empty line for the file name vs. simply going to my default printer?

Make sure that '''''Print to File''''' isn't selected in the native print dialog box ''(see screenshot below)'' middle-right, and make sure your Printer is selected at the top of that dialog box.

Change e-mail attachment name dynamic in Broadcaster

Hi,
I want to send an e-mail to multiple recipient by the setting "e-mail bursting" in broadcaster. Each e-mail has an attachment (pdf-document).
Is it possible, to change the name of the attachment dynamic, when sending the mail to the different recipients (example:
recipient 1: recipient1.pdf,
recipient 2: recipient2.pdf,
and so on)
I tried a solution with text variables, but it didn't work.

Tim Jaschik

Hi,
thanks for your fast answer. But my problem is to change the attachment name of the e-mail, not to schedule the e-mail.
So, is there no possibility to control the process which creates the attachment name?

Tim
