Multipart Mime / File Adapter article

I was sure that there was an article/blog about packing multiple files into email format and send it out with the file adapter in XI.
I just can't find it anymore. Can someone post the link?
TIA -hs

I think You are talking about one of this,

Using wildcards (*) in sender file adapter - FTP type

Hi guys!
Dooes it work using wildcards in sender file adapter (FTP type(!) (filesystem obviously work))? I tried it and it failed. it works only for exact name..
I read some articles about FTP and the result is, that ftp work always only with 1 file, so I'm wondering, if this is possible.
Thanks for info!
Olian

Thanks for all replies..
I know of course, that * can be used, I use it in many scenarios too. But on a FileSystem. It is not working if the sender type is FTP.
*, ., *.dat, ... nothing like that works.. Just exact file name.
I am able to pick up file, if I specify it's exact name, so there should be no problem with permissions..
Please, I'd appreciate one reply with comfirmation: yes, we are using asterisk (*) , we access source files via FTP and they are processed.
Is there anybody with this experience, that it works?
Thank you!
Olian

~Can't open "noname" MIME files in Gmail~

I've searched for this topic, but can't understand all the tech-speak! I'm in my 20s, so I'm not dumb, just not in the loop. Someone break this down for me in layman's terms.
I use Gmail for my primary email. Lately, I've been getting attachments from family members who use PCs. These attachments are always called "noname." When I hit "download," I get a message saying that it is a MIME message and asking what application I should open it with. I always get a bunch of nonsense no matter what I open it with! It looks like it's trying to be HTML, but opening it with Firefox doesn't work. Neither does opening it with the StuffIt Expander.
Even when I hit "View as text," it doesn't make any sense. I'll paste a copy below. Can someone please tell me what application to open up MIME files in?
This is only part of the message because it was too long to post. Here we go.... close your eyes!!

It sounds like gmail has serious problems with MIME data. That isn't something it should have trouble with. It has been solved for a long, long time now.
Even when I hit "View as text," it doesn't make any sense. I'll paste a copy below. Can someone please tell me what application to open up MIME files in?
Ordinarily, your e-mail program.
I have a program I used to sell years ago when people started sending MIME e-mail messages that AOL couldn't understand. Perhaps I should update it if all the world is switching to gmail and gmail doesn't handle MIME either. 1996 is here again.
Anyway, click here to download it.
Technically this is a shareware program and technically I could make money from it. But very few people need this program anymore and it should work just fine for you in "demo" mode.

Receiver file adapter command line

hi,
i am just wondering how to use command line on receiver file adapter.
i am not clear how to use this.
please modify on the following command!
anyway, i have to call java application after put some files by receiver file adapter.
cmd.exe %Fjava ./javacalltest
it did not work..
please guide me.
Command Line
An operating system command specified here is executed before or after a file has been successfully processed. The default value is an empty character string (no command).
When the operating system command is called, the file name currently being processed can be specified with the following placeholders:
%f (file name)
%F (absolute file name including path)

Sender File Adapter: No Messages

Hi,
I have configured a sender file adapter to read a flat file using file format conversion, in the file poler mode using NFS. I could confirm that the File is being read, and the adapter status from the Adapter framework (is:port/AdapterFramework) indicates the adapter is working fine (Green light, and last message processed at XXX........).
However, I did not find any messages from SXMB_MONI.
Further, I got inot the RWB, and found the following Audit log:
It indicates an error "Transmitting the message to endpoint http://kansbwul01:50000/sap/xi/engine/entry?action=execute using connection AFW failed, due to: Received HTTP response code 404.."
What is the problem, and how can I resolve it?
Thanks

Sender File adapter Pooling interval & file Size issue

Hi ALL,
I have a file size of 400 MB to be picked to be the sender file adapter i am facing issue that the system is unable to even pick the file and place in the Q for Processing.
1)we have no mapping no content conversion ....only pick the file from one loaction and place it in 3 different locations with 3 different names ...can any one help me in solving this .. ? the best workable method to achive this .
2) this file is getting created once in a day .say 2 PM .so i can give the poll intravel to 24 hours ..but some times ..the file creation in server gets delayed ..but they cont wain for the next 24 hour to come for processing the file ..so my query is can we reduce the poll intravel for 2 PM till 3PM hour for some 3 times ..and once it reches 3PM it can poll as usual with a gap of 24 hour time ..
thanks
RK

Hi Rupash,
>>I have a file size of 400 MB to be picked to be the sender file adapter i am facing issue that the system is unable to even pick the file and place in the Q for Processing.
Never use File adapter for picking large file (maximum size which I have seen it to work successfully is 200 MB)
Instead go for Java proxies. Check this forum post for the discussion:

File Conversion error in Receiver File Adapter

Hi ,
I am facing the below error in receiver file adapter .

Hi,
Check it - File adapter is active ? try to Re-activate the same.
Also do CPACache Refresh.
Still problem, tyr out by restarting the Adapter Engine.
I guess you're just trying to send all the data in your file record to a <data> element as a whole. If so, this blog will help you:
Configuring Generic Sender File CC Adapter
Under certain operating system platforms, such as Solaris, the APIs used by the Java Runtime (JRE) are not Unicode-aware. Consequently, the JRE needs to be configured to correctly interpret the character set it receives from the operating system.
This is configured through the "file.encoding" system property as well as the "LANG" environment variable.
Make sure you set "file.encoding" to a character set (such as ISO-8859-1) that supports the special characters you would like to process. This system property can be configured by appending "-Dfile.encoding=<encoding>" to the Java VM parameters section of the SAP J2EE Config Tool.
Additionally, you need to set the "LANG" environment variable to a locale that supports more than 7 bits, such as "de.ISO8859-1". The encoding you specify in the LANG environment variable needs to match the encoding set via "file.encoding".
You can persistently configure the environment variable by setting it in the profile $HOME/.sapenv_$HOSTNAME.csh of the <sid>adm user: setenv LANG de.ISO8859-1

How to use File Adapter Receiver to write attachments

Hi,
i have a scenario, in which our own XInotes adapter sends an XIMessage from an IBM Lotus Notes database into XI. This XIMessage contains an XML document as application main document and several PDF files as additional attachments
On the receiver side, i must use a File Adapter to write both the XML documents and the PDF attachments into a directory.
The problem is i don't know how to use the file adapter receiver to write the attachments. In the Channel Monitoring, i can see that all PDF files are transferred to the file receiver. But the file adapter writes only the XML document into the directory.
I've also tried the AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean, but it can only swap one PDF file into the application payload. And the file name must be hard coded in the module configuration as swap.KeyName.
Could anyone give me any ideas?
thanks a lot in advance
Xiang

hi,
receiver file adapters do not supprt attachments.
Only File Sender adapter is capable of handling attachments not the receiver.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/4b/a20c4cfea96b498b1e1af3f32f0670/frameset.htm
Configuring the sender FILE adapter
The sender file adapter is configured to pick the normal payload (file1.xml), which is specified in the File
access parameters, and the additional image file (file1.jpg) that is to be sent as an attachment is configured
under the Additional File(s) as shown in the screenshot below. The file type would still remain binary.
Since, by default, XI sends payload and attachments in XML format, we need to call two beans, namely the
MessageTransformBean and the PayloadSwapBean to help us is transforming the content to jpeg format
and also change the file extension.
The PayloadSwapBean module is used to replace the application payload of the XI message that holds the
data with another payload which is appended to the message as an attachment. In our case, the payload
would be file1.xml whereas the attachment would be file1.jpg
The swap module is denoted in our scenario with the module key swap. It has two parameters from the
MIME header.

Java command line in File adapter

Hi all,
In my receiver file adapter (FTP), I want to use the option "Run operating system command after message processing". In the command I want to execute a java class. Can anybody have information about how to do that ?
My command line in the following : "java myPackage.MyClass %F". This command line works fine on my machine but I don't know how to do when on XI File Adapter (where to set the jar file, ...)
Thanks in advance,
Laurence

Multipart mime in XI for attachments?

Hi,
I am not big on all the terminology, so please me nice
But in a discussion for B2B with a marketplace, the subject of recieving attachments came up and he asked if we could accept our attachments in Multipart mime. Now I know Binary and text of the attachment types, but I do not know how MIME format comes into play.
Any explanation or a simple, yes you can accept attachment in multipartr mime would be fine!
The adapter will be the HTTP adapter not an email adapter.
Kind Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
The HTTP adapter does not support multipart messages, but you can use the SOAP sender adapter in no-soap mode instead.
When the SOAP adapter receives a multipart message, it creates an attachment for each part. The first part becomes the main payload, the other parts become attachments.
The problem is, that most adapters can not work with attachments, so you need SOAP or Mail receiver adapter, Java or ABAP proxy to handle the attachments in receiver direction.

Malformed mime file and Symantec AV SMTP Gateway

Hi
We are running 2 versions of JES at the moment, 2003Q4 and 2004Q2, both fully patched. We have just discovered that any messages with attachments that are directed through our AV ASPAM gateway from these systems are dropped with the following error.
Scan Status: 56 - Malformed MIME file
The AV product is Symantec AV for SMTP Gateways 3.1.2.35
On further examination of the AV logs it appears that e-mail from other institutions also running iMS
are also being dropped.
The response from Symantec is as follows
"This error indicates that the scanned email message did not conform to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) standards as set forth in RFC 2045 - RFC 2049. Strict adherence to this standard prevents incoming email with virus payloads encapsulated within malformed MIME headers and form."
See
http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-gate.nsf/docid/2002112109330754?Open&src=w
I have also discovered that similar problems are being encountered by a user trying to send HTML messages via Sun Java Mail.
So, has anybody seen this beforeand know of a fix? It is a rather frustrating problem.
I can provide a copy of the full message text if required.
Many thanks in advance
Bernard

Bernard,
We are using Symantec AV SMTP Gateway with Messaging Server 6.1 and are not experiencing the problems you mention, though we did see a few such issues with an older rev (we're currently using 4.0.0.59). Some of the fixes Symantec lists with ver 3.1.7 are:
# Some multipart MIME messages with nonstandard boundary markers incorrectly parsed
# Some multipart MIME messages with numerous plain text attachments not parsed correctly
# Some multipart MIME messages containing two terminating boundary markers for the primary (outer) boundary generate a false positive malformed mime error
You might consider upgrading your AV SMTP Gateway to see if this fixes the problem.
Regards,
Brian

Trouble receiving multipart mime messages

I am encountering a problem which has me perplexed... I am attempting to create and send a simple multipart mime message through an smtp server which requires authentication. The thing is the mail gets delivered OK, but nothing appears in the body of the message nor are there any attachments. My code follows, wonder if anyone has any ideas... A full day of searching though Sun documentation, forums and internet surfing has not given me any help... sigh.. Thanks, Marc...
private void sendEmail(
     String emailURL,
     String notes) {
     String to = emailURL;
     String from = "[email protected]";
     String smtpHost = "mail.myservername.com";
     String user = "myId";
     String password = "myPassword";
     boolean debug = true;
     // create some properties and get the default Session
     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("mail.smtp.host", smtpHost);
     props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
     Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
     session.setDebug(debug);
     try {
          // create a message
          MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
          msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
          InternetAddress[] address = { new InternetAddress(to)};
          msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
          msg.setSubject("Welcome to JavaMail");
          msg.setSentDate(new Date());
          // create and fill the first message part
          MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
          mbp1.setText(notes);
          mbp1.addHeaderLine("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"");
          mbp1.addHeaderLine("Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable");
          // create and fill the second message part
          MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
          // Use setText(text, charset), to show it off !
          mbp2.setText("Eventually I plan to attach an image here");
          mbp2.addHeaderLine("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"");
          mbp2.addHeaderLine("Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable");
          // create the Multipart and its parts to it
          MimeMultipart mp = new MimeMultipart("mixed");
          mp.addBodyPart(mbp1);
          mp.addBodyPart(mbp2);
          // add the Multipart to the message
          msg.setContent(mp);
          msg.saveChanges();
          // send the message
          javax.mail.Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
          transport.connect(smtpHost, user, password);
          transport.sendMessage(msg, address);
          transport.close();
     } catch (MessagingException mex) {
          handleException(mex);
          Exception ex = null;
          if ((ex = mex.getNextException()) != null) {
               handleException(ex);

OH NEVER MIND!!!! What a NASTY NASTY NASTY trap! Shame on Sun and their design/implementation of JavaMail!!!! I didn't have the activation jar file installed on my server.... Gives no errors, no warnings, no exceptions are thrown! Absolutely no clue whatsoever that it is missing!!!

FileName in Sender File Adapter Module

Hi Folks,
In my sender file adapter have written a module to read the picked file name. The protocol used is NFS.
Notice that the file name read in the module has the absolute path, including the directory path. E.g The file name xyz has to be picked from source directory
XIServer\Outbound. In the module when I retrieve the file name, it comes up as
XIServer\Outbound\xyz. Is this expected behaviour?
I was expecting just the file name<xyz> to be retrieved.
Thanks,
Anand

HI,
Create an UDF and write this code.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key =
DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;
in Adapter u will have Adapter specific parameters check the file name check box.
Using this UDF u will get the file name at target side.
Regards,
Phani.

Getting Error while running a file adapter.

Hi all,
I am doing a small application where I need to read an image from a shared path and send the base64code of that image in response. For that I am using File Adapter and Read
operation. I have just hard coded the image name didnt give any wild card or expressions. I generated a service which is a proxy using the jca of that File Adapter. I added a stage
replacing the response body with the opaque element of the request body. When I run the proxy I am getting something like *"The invocation resulted in an error: "* in response
and in the stack trace I am getting *"Failed to set the value of context variable "body". Value must be an instance of {http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Body."* as the fault
reason I am unable to detect where exactly I am going wrong. Kindly help me in resolving this.
Thanks,
Phanindra.

Not sure why you want to replace. Since the response of the proxy would remain to hold the request body by default.
If you have stored the opaque element in a variable ($var_opaque), then you can do the following.
XPath : .
In variable : body
Expression : $var_opaque
Check - "Replace node content"
