Problem in Mail Scenario

Hi,
I have configured a SAP --> PI --> Mail scenario with a receiver Mail Adapter. I have used the required mail message format for this interface.
When I try to execute the scenario using a Message Mapping it is executed successfully and a mail is received in the configured mailbox.
However when I try to execute the scenario using XSLT mapping I do not get any mail. In SXMB_MONI the processing is shown as successful. I need to use XSLT mapping as there is some HTML formatting that has to be done to the messsage.
Please tell me what could be the possible solution.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi,
The problem was in the Date format in the XSLT mapping....
One more doubt is inorder to display the message contents in HTML format what settings need to be done. I am getting the mail in a text format.
XSLT mapping:
<Mail>
<Subject>XYZ</Subject>
<From>Abhishek_at_xyz.com</From>
<To>Abhishek_at_xyz.com</To>
<Content_Type>plain/text</Content_Type>
<Content>
<html>
<body>
The required content with HTML tags for formatting
</body>
</html>
</Content>
</Mail>
I am getting the output in text format as:
<html><body>The required content with HTML tags for formatting</body></html>
Please provide solution to this.
Thanks,
Abhishek.

  • File Mail Scenario Problem  ( V.V.Urgent)

    Hi ,
    I am Using PI7.0.
    I have a file in FTP ( xyz.rtf)  and i want to attach the file and send to the mail.
    I configured the scenario.
    But I can pick the file and make an attachment and sending to the mail.
    My problem is my file xyz.rtf is converting into .xml file and attaching.
    I need the same xyz.rtf file to attached to the mail.
    And i am using PI 7.0 and i am not finding any options in the file adapter.
    Help me and do the needful.
    points will be awarded.
    Regards,
    Jayasimha Jangam

    Hi Jayasimha ,
    When n sender side you will read the file it will be converted to xml format. If you wish to send it to Mail adapter as an attachment with same .rtf  format, then refer below scenario. Here Image file is send as the way you wish to send your rtf file.

  • Mail-to-Mail scenario - Problem with comm. channel not reading message

    Good day,
    I am setting up a Mail-to-Mail scenario, where a received e-mail with an attachment is both processed into a file, as well as a monitoring e-mail needs to be send. The attachment processing is an existing process and is still working properly, but my e-mail isn't send. I am using Java mapping to create the destination e-mail based on the source e-mail. Everything is set up in the Directory as well, and through the Test Configuration feature I have tested my new addition to the existing process, I am seeing the result that I am expecting. I have sent a test message and XI picks it up just fine and processes it which is tested by both SXMB_MONI and the resulting file from the attachment.
    However, the monitoring e-mail is not sent. Using the runtime workbench, there is an error in the receiver communication channel, being the following error from the Audit Log:
    MP: Exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: com.sap.aii.messaging.util.XMLScanException: java.lang.NullPointerException; nested exception caused by: java.io.IOException: Parsing an empty source. Root element expected!
    Looking through the Message Content, I notice there is a SOAP document describing the source message and two payloads. The first payload being the source message in XML format, the second payload is entirely empty. I suspect this empty second payload is causing the NullPointerException, but I am at a loss as to why the payload is empty. The Test Configuration showed me that the message gets through just fine, so what is going wrong?
    Here is a link to the configuration of the communication channel, maybe something is wrong here: [Config of communication channel|http://roald.hoolwerf.net/images/cc-config.png]
    My question is: What can I do to find what is causing the communication channel to receive an empty payload, and how can I solve this?
    Searching for this issue, or the given error on both Google as these forums hasn't given any related posts, if I did miss them in that case I am sorry for posting and please refer to the related topics.
    Thank you in advance for taking time to look at this question.
    Kind regards,

    Try this.
    Unchecked  the configure use authentication.
    and use mail package (base64)

  • IDOC- XI- Mail Scenario

    Hi All,
    I am configuring IDOC-XI-Mail scenario using following web-log:
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/07/mail-adapter-xi--how-to-implement-dynamic-mail-address
    I follow following steps:-
    1) In IR-create Name Space -"http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30 "
    2) In IR-Upload XSD file from SAP note: 748024
    3) In IR-Do message mapping with Imported IDOC
    4) In ID-Add Business System's for SAP & XI
    5) In ID-Create mail receiver communication channel
       (URL/User ID/Password/User Mail Package only)
    When I test trigger IDOC from SAP, I get Error in SXMB_MONI
    (Error category:RCVR_DETERMINATION, Error ID:NO_RECEIVER_CASE_ASYNC)
    Is i need to do more configuration's in IR & ID that is not explained in Web-log?
    Is there is any other configuration need to be done on server to send mails?
    Please guide me in completing Idoc->Mail scenario.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi Rohan,
    "4) In ID-Add Business System's for SAP & XI"
    You donot have to create a business system for XI.
    First of all you can either create a business system which needs to be created in SLD such that it is pointing to your target system (which here is the mail server) or you can use a business service. Choose any one of them.
    "When I test trigger IDOC from SAP, I get Error in SXMB_MONI
    (Error category:RCVR_DETERMINATION, Error ID:NO_RECEIVER_CASE_ASYNC)"
    Check if you have defined your message interfaces correctly. Since you are not expecting any response from the mail adapter, the inbound and outbound interfaces should be asynchronous.
    Also check if you have defined your receiver determination correctly. Here you should give the source and target systems and interfaces correctly. The problem sems to lie here. Check these configurations once again.

    Sushumna

  • File to Mail Scenario error

    Hi All,
                    I did file to mail scenario. The source structure contain the following elements like <to>....</to>, <Subject>........</subject> etc (the source structure created by me). In Integration Directory I set the Mail adapter Message protocol as "XIPAYLOAD" and Mail attribute "Use Mail Package" selected.  So here my scenario should send a mail to which has i given "To Id" in my source structure. But when i go to SXMB_MONI, I found my message as red flag and it is showing information like "thrown during application mapping". Here what is the problem and how can i rectify the problem, please any one help me, 
    Thanks & Regards,

  • File to Mail scenario? File not received only namespace

    Hi,
    I tried to do file to mail scenario. I read blogs and forum questions before posting this.
    My problem is that I am sending.dat file in file to mail scenario.
    I used XIPAYLOAD and without Mail adapter
    When i received mail it contains attachement Untitled.xml and it does not contain my file data it contains only this.
      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
      <ns1:Mail xmlns:ns1="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30" />
    I do not know how to create file with payload containing To, from subject, content things. I tried Michal blog and disabled unneccessary fields etc. and when i send email as file but now In RWB it gives error
    Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: java.io.IOException: no sender address specified
    regards
    hussaan

    Hi again,
    Simple message types and i use ximail30_xsd.txt from sap note as external defination
    Message mapping is also simple according to SDN TV.
    Adapter: Mail
    Transport Protocol: SMTP
    Message Protocol:XIPayload
    Adapter Engine: Integration Server
    smtps://smtp.googlemail.com:465
    Authetication Method: Plain
    User: complete email address
    Mail Attributes:
    From: email address
    To: email address
    Subject: test
    Content encoding: base 64
    Keep attachement: Option Checked
    No other change i did, With this configuration i receive email with untitled.xml attachement which contains only namespace info (no data).
    In my other try i changed message mapping and uses to create payload which michal refers by using constants(text to describe TO, from, subject) and text functions(concat)  in message mapping fields.
    Integration driectory setting for that
    Adapter: Mail
    Transport Protocol: SMTP
    Message Protocol:XIPayload
    Adapter Engine: Integration Server
    smtps://smtp.googlemail.com:465
    Authetication Method: Plain
    User: complete email address
    Mail Attributes: option checked
    Content encoding: base 64

    With this option it gives error in RWB that no sender  found

  • Unable to get source file content as mail body in file to mail scenario

    Hi Friends,
    I am facing one problem with one of my file to mail scenario in PI(SP9).  I have done bypass scenario(without IR only with ID objects). Scenario is working fine, i am getting mail also.  But my requirement is i want complete source file content as a mail body (not xml format, text format).  I have checked all options, but configured scenario bydefault taking source content as a attachment and mail body is empty.  I have tested below options
    1. If i choose message protocol as FCC mechanism at source side content at target side i am getting xml format as a attachment( In mail adapter i have selected message protocol as xi payload, and without packate option on mail adapter). If i choose message protocol as xi all, i am getting 2 files as a attachment (one file as a payload content and second file as a source file content in xml format).
    2. If i choose message protocol as file at souce side that time i am getting source complete content as a attachment at target side in xml format, but mail attached file content is flat file(.xml extension) format. When i tried to open attachment file that time i am getting error in explorer, but i can see only one row in explorer  remaining rows unable to see.
    Please share your ideas on this.

    Hi,
    Follow below steps
    1. First basis level need to configure setup(SMTP) for mail.  After that only mail will go from SAP.
    2. Source side depending on requirement take communication channel(idoc, file etc)
    3. Receiver side communication channel take mail adapter and configure below setup
       3.1 select message protocol XI ALL/ XI PAYLOAD(WITH PACKAGE or WITHOUT PACKAGE)
       3.2 if message protocol is XI ALL, the complete content will be sent as a attachment along with payload file
       3.3 if message protocol is XI PAYLOAD, the source message, the source message will be sent as attachment.  Playload file filter automatically.
       3.4 If you use PACKAGE option on mail adaper, this time source strucute need to import from SAP (some standard structure only will be support, without strucutre we can't work).  If you choose package option no need to give mail id on communication channel, we need to pass mail id's from source structure.
    I hope now clear.

    Hi Cinna,
    >just now i checked the RFC it is working
    this together with the header "Problem in the scenario SOAP to RFC Syn" is missunderstoobable. But ok, the error is inside RFC adapter: may be it cannot create the DIAG RFC call with the XML what you provided in RTW.
    To be shure to have sent the right XML send a message but use a Message Mapping with RFC module as target.

  • Problem collecting mail since 8th/9th - almost a s...

    Is anyone having or aware of any general problems or issues collecting email since about Wednesday night 8th/9th June? -- I use OE.
    BT has been my ISP for several years, so I have BT addresses as well as some set up with a former ISP (tesco.net) which are also of course handled via the BT Yahoo account. All are set up correctly (I've checked the settings are in place as they should be, and haven't been varied/altered for any reason), and they've always all worked without any problems at all since joining BT.
    But between switching off the system in the early hours of Thursday morning and booting up again later in the day, collecting mail has been a nightmare. At first it seemed as if clicking Send/Receive froze it up, but I realised later on it wasn't actually stalling altogether -- it's just very, VERY slow. For instance it takes the best part of an hour to download one small message of a line or two, maybe about 2kb.
    Outgoing SMTP mail for both lots of accounts via mail.btinternet.com is no trouble at all and works completely normally at the usual speed and with no issues. Only incoming mail is affected, but I can't think it's anything to do with the Tesco POP3 address, because it's not only affecting mail on those accounts, but the BT ones as well (mail.btinternet.com again). They're all having the same problem.
    Of course I can check both sets of inboxes online for incoming messages, but it's a hassle as I use the various different accounts for different categories of mail, so it's less straightforward than the convenience of a desktop client which I'm so used to, where they come in to one place and I'm able to browse all my mail from there, as well as store it on the system and compose at leisure offline. Online means logging in and out of each one individually. I just hate webmail... call me old-fashioned!
    Internet browsing is unaffected, with Firefox (and IE). My BB package renewed at the beginning of the month and I changed from Option 3 to Option 2, but (a) this was about a week before the problem began, and (b) I'm not sure it would have any bearing anyway.
    So any general issues anyone's aware of which are going on at the moment, or any ideas?
    Many thanks.

    I still have this problem. Yesterday I thought it might have sorted itself out, but no such luck. As I have several different email accounts (and they all have the same trouble whether it's a BT address or others from another ISP), I've only been trying to download mail for one account at a time (in turn) with OE, instead of all accounts at once.
    Yesterday seemed no different to begin with, than it had been for the previous week -- clicked Receive for one of the accounts, the dialog box showed 3 messages to download, and as usual it was slow, slow, SLOW. The first message took all of about 50-55m to come in, and it was only 4kb! But then suddenly the other 2 following it came in at normal speed in a flash, as they should.
    Tried another account where I knew there was mail in (having seen it on the server). They came in normally too. And so did all the rest of the accounts. Brilliant! -- I thought FINALLY, whatever the cause had been, I was through it. And I was thrilled as I'd been able to get all my mail in up to date at one sitting instead of the laborious process of going through each account in turn and having to walk away from the machine between them to do something else.
    But a few hours later when I collected again, it was back to ultra-slow again. And today the same.
    I've been searching around for some answers without a lot of luck: quite a few seem to report an overall slowness problem, or they're having problems sending mail out, but not so much my situation which only affects incoming mail. As I posted before, I can send normally, and the browser's also unaffected (so it's not the connection) -- it only happens with incoming mail.
    Eventually I came across this 2009 page which seems to sum it up exactly:
    http://www.nologinspace.com/show item.aspx?itemf=187&title=BT Internet POP Problems and Issues
    There's no solution given, but it seems to nail the problem I'm having, and suggests it's some unknown issue to do with BT's POP servers.
    Anyone come across this problem, or able to throw any more light on it? Or know what (if anything) can be done?
    The only slight difference between their description and me is I don't get a timeout or error message, just sometimes the prompt "Your server has not responded in xxx seconds" and asking if I want to Stop or Wait. If that appears I tell it to wait, as my experience over the last week is the mail does arrive eventually if I wait long enough. Unlike them I haven't been deleting mail off the server either (except any spam), for the same reason. I've done that very occasionally in the past if one particular message persistently seems to be causing a logjam, but this doesn't strike me as one of those scenarios, because it's doing it over and over and over again, even when all previous mail has been cleared (excrutiatingly slowly!) from the accounts a few hours earlier, and every inbox is starting from empty with a completely new batch of different messages.
    Any thoughts and possible solutions really appreciated.

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.
