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.

Stefan

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";

     // 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);

          msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
          InternetAddress[] address = { new InternetAddress(to)};
          msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, address);
          msg.setSubject("Welcome to JavaMail");

          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!!!

Use one drive for attachments using outlook

using the portal or OWA you can use one drive for attachments rather then adding the file to the e mail itself , i was wondering if we will have this feature on outlook soon

Hi,
As you have known, in Outlook client there is no such feature right now, we need to insert the OneDrive file link manually to the new message if we want to attach a file.
I can't guarantee if this feature will be added in the further version, but please be assured that any improvements in the product are based on users' requirements. Our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a
more powerful and easy-to-use product.

Unable to search for attachments in mail

Hi,
The problem I'm having is, when I search in mail for an attachment (that exists), nothing comes up. Searching for emails works fine. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.2. I happen to have another computer running Yosemite which can search for attachments just fine.
This computer was previously running Mavericks, and searching for attachments worked there. I backed up my mail files (inboxes, plists, etc.) and then did a clean install of Yosemite (not an upgrade) and then moved my old mail files back. Perhaps somehow this is the issue?
Would appreciate any help!

How to specify stylesheet for attachments in Human task

Dear Experts,
I can able to add an attachment from BPEL process to Human Task. So from Worklist I can able to download the attachment. Here, I am attaching an XML payload, and I am receiving .xml file from worklist. Now I want to do xsl mapping with my attachment. To do that we have an option when creating Human Task from BPEL . In .task form, under advanced settings--> specify style sheets for attachments, specify wordML for attchments. I have used those options. But not yet my .xsl file mapped with .xml. Is there is any other way to do xsl mapping. Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Anirudh,
I am using SOA Server suite 10.1.3.1 and JDeveloper 10g. Also I am not using "Application Server Developer's Guide for Microsoft Office Interoperability" this document, what you have mentioned in your last post. My problem is I am having xsl with me, need to map this xsl to my xml attachment. To do that we are having an option on .task form editor, Under Advanced Settings. We can mention/specify stylesheet for attachment, or we can specify wordML for attachment. I have tried both but I cant able to do xsl transformation. I have seen some code in this link. But I dont know whether this blog is correct one. Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Where can I Increase the size limit for attachments

Good Morning:
I am working in OCS R2 (9.0.4). Where can I Increase the size limit for attachments in the messages sent. Also can I set this parameters to user level or the change affect every user in the system?
Thanks a lot.

New tree view for attachments

Hello,
I am currently trying to figure out how I can add acustom tree view for attachments to the account overview page. Per defualt it has the standard list for attachments, but I need to replace that with a component where I can "fake" the attachments that are displayed, and which comes in tree view mode as default. The last I think will be pretty easy, but during debugging, I have not yet figured out how the component GS_CM gets its data, so that I can modify it or feed it new data (to documents that do exist in the system, but have no direct link to the account).
Anybody with any knowledge of this? Thanks!

Change the path for attachments after changing a server

Hello experts,
I have a requirement which I cannot solve...
By a customer a server which was used for saving the attachments is no longer active. The customer has now a file server. So in SAP we have changed the path information under Administration > System Initialisation > General Setting in the Path tab from the old server to the file server like this:
Old path:
oldServer\ALLGEMEIN\SAP\DOKUMENT_TEXT\
New Server:
newServer\ALLGEMEIN\SAP\DOKUMENT_TEXT\
But now I have the problem that all the path information in the UDFs from type LINK and also in all attachment fields like in activities, where the customer has put in a file are still standing on the old status.
We have allready copied all attachzments from the old server to the new one in the same structure as in the old server).
Now I have to change in all fields, which are from type LINK (this concerns by the customer only item master date, BP master data and activities) the path information.
That means I have to paste the string in all the fields 'oldServer' whith 'newServer'.
Has anybody an idea how I could do this???
Best regards,
Vural

Hi Vural,
We are facing same kind of issue with our landscape, how did you changed the path for attachments.
Tcode = IH01
Worked with user and tried to change the path for few attachments from \\old_server\GROUPS\ to \\new_server\GROUPS\ (storage server) and its worked, but as per user there are lot of files exist in server, they wants to upgrade the path for all files automatically from old_server to new_server.

OSB defaulting Content-Type to "multipart/related" in case of attachments

I have scenario where I need to invoke a REST Webservice from OSB which accepts only media types which has "multipart/atom+xml". OSB is used for protocol transformation converting the SOAP request into the HTTP POST request with multipart. I have Proxy Service which will unwrap the message from the SOAP Body and post the same message into the payload of the Business Service and the attachment is passed 'as is' from the SOAP Service. The external REST Service Provider expects the media type to be "multipart/atom+xml", but in OSB when an attachment is present in the message, OSB is overrding the "Content-Type" proeprty to "multipart/related" inspite of me setting the "Content-Type" property of HTTP Transport Header in OSB and as result external RESTFUL Service is throwing "415-Unsupported Media Type" error. Below is the test results. One interesting thing is, it happens only when there is attachment present in the message. In case of a message which doesn't have attachment any "Content-Type" specified in the Transport Header is passed by the OSB to the external service. Any help is highly appreciated.

HTTP content-type header has the following limitation as per osb doc.
Oracle Service Bus run time may overwrite these headers in the binding layer when preparing the message for dispatch. If these headers are modified, $inbound and $outbound are updated accordingly. So what you are seeing may be working as designed. Cant the remote service accept the multi part related content type set up by osb ?

Changing "Mail Downloads" folder for attachments

It seems in Leopard Mail, when you double click an attachment to open it, it is temporarily saved to ~/Library/Mail Downloads. This is in contrast to (I think) Tiger, where it would be saved to the Downloads folder set in the General preferences. There is still a setting for the Downloads folder in the General preferences, and according to the help window, it is to "Specify the folder in which to temporarily save attachments you open from a message". To me, that means the same as the Tiger behavior. However, if I change this preference to, say, "Desktop", it seems opening an attachment (not explicitly saving it) still saves it to the ~/Library/Mail Downloads folder, not the assigned folder. Is this the correct behavior? If so, the help window is misleading. Personally, I would like the option to change this folder, although I suppose there are workarounds such as changing the Mail Downloads folder to an alias of the desired destination folder.
thanks.

Ok, so much for that clever workaround. Doesn't work, Mail just throws up an error and refuses to save the attachment. Any other ideas? I just want Mail to auto-save opened attachments onto the Desktop, in case I forget to explicitly save it, and so I don't have to root into subfolders to find it.

OPEN SAVE option not coming for attachments

Hi Experts,
we are showing the different types of attachments for Purchase order and Purchase requisition in our web dynpro abap application.
when the user opens a PO and clicks on attachment button using my custom designed web dynpro application
it shows a popup window with the list of attachments there for that particular PO.
if we click on the attachment link (file download UI element) ... it should open a window(like popup) and give the option for save and open which is not happening for .msg(email message) and pdf file formats.
but by defalut we are getting the save open option for excel, ppt, and other file type attachments and the same not happedning for .msg and pdf types.
please suggest.
Thanks in advance
Sateesh J

Hi Sateesh,
Please make sure the behaviour property of FileDownload UI should be set as 'allowsave' to enable the functionality which you need.
If you are facing the issue even after setting it as "allowsave" then please elaborate more.
Thanks,
Vishesh
