Query on mail adapter

Hi,
Please find below requirement on sending mails as attachment with generic body content.
1) input CSV file has to be sent as an attachment.
2)A generic body content should be sent in the mail
i tried in different ways, i am able to send the file as an attachment and able to rename also (with out using the mail package)
if i use the mail package, i am able see the content in the body and as attachment with the data fed in content tab. in this case i am unable to attach my input file
i am missing some where to achive my requirement, can some one suggest me?
Thank You,
Madhav

Hi,
I dont understand exactly your requirement.
So you are able to send a file as an attachment. Than its half of the success. Then just set the mail receiver adapter and check the Keep attachments config parameter and the attachment will be sent with the mail.

Query related to multiple attachments in mail adapter

Hi,
I have a query related to multiple attachments in receiver mail adapter.
I have successfully configured mail related scenarios but now I have another requirement in which I have multiple source files in one directory and I want to send one mail for multiple files as mail attachment using receiver mail adapter. Can anybody help me how to achieve multiple attachments in reciever mail adapter.
To clarify the requirement more let us take an example
Ex: I have 5 input files in the source which I pick up using additional files option in the sender file adapter, now I want to send those 5 files into one mail with 5 attachments. Can anybody explain how 5 different payload will be sent as multiple attachments in one mail.
For your information I used, options like "keep attachments" , some parameters in module processesors etcs...but not able to find out as how exactly it will be achieved.......I dont want to use BPM collect pattern for this.....
Need your help on this issue. Please suggest the solution as how it can be achieved using receiver mail adapter.
Thanks & Regards

Receiver Mail Adapter for PI 7.1 ehp1

Hi Experts,
Is there a way by using Mail Adapter (Receiver) to read the contents of the payload (which is considered also as the attachment) to be included in the body of the email?
Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks!
Cheers,
R-jay

Hi Shabarish,
Thanks for your answer.
I guess you misunderstood my query. What I would like to do is not to read the content of the email, but to read the content of payload and includes it on email. Using receiver mail adapter as standard (without using module or UDF), and configuring it as to sending the payload, you are just sending an email to the recipient with an attachment without any message in the body.
What I would like to know is how to send an email with details (on its body) taken from the information of the payload.
Cheers,
R-jay

Mail Adapter to trigger a process

Hi,
We have a scenario to do quarterly updates whenever there is an email notification from service partners. Is it possile to trigger an File>XI>r/3 scenario by using the mail adapter whenever we receive an email...I have read about the sender mail adapter configuratins. But my main question is it possible to trigger an XI process based on an incoming mail ( address and content)..
-Teresa

This would typically be done through a scheduled task. Write your code to query for the departure date. If someone meets your criteria for an action to occur, you can either use the addProcessTaskInstance which has an adapter attached to it to send the email, or in your code, send the email.
The details that need to be considered though is where the departure date is stored. Is it on a process form, or is it on the user's OIM profile. Do you want to disable the user or revoke the object instance at this departure date? You could use the notification tab of these existing tasks if so.

Dynamic Filename in Receiver mail adapter is it possible without module?

Hi,
I need to send the file name in email adapter dynamically.Presently iam getting the filename as untitled.xml in the email .The keep attachments is checked in the mail adapter.
I need to rename the file based on the input field name and timestamp .for example if i get the input field xxxx then the filename should be set as xxxx + timestamp .xml.I tried to use the UDF for dynamic configuration but it didnot help me out.Please help me.
Thanks
Rajesh

Use below code snippet... It should work. If you want timestamp different change accordingly. Currently I do date followed by time as per my requirement.
SimpleDateFormat simpledatFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
Date date = new Date();
String datewithYear = simpledatFormat.format(date);
SimpleDateFormat simpledatFormat1 = new SimpleDateFormat("HHmmss");
Date date1 = new Date();
String datewithMs = simpledatFormat1.format(date1);
DynamicConfiguration conf = ((DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION));
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" , "FileName");
String oldFileName=conf.get(key);
String valueNew;
if( oldFileName == null){
valueNew =oldFileNamedatewithYeardatewithMs+".xml";
//set the new filename
conf.put(key, valueNew);

Sender Mail Adapter

Hi,
I am working on Sender Mail Adapter. I have done the total configuration but unable to sucess the scenarios. In the CC monitoring, it is saying that "Not Intialised" Even though i send and receive the messages from My Lotus Notes Inbox. I activated all the objects.
I have done the following examples:
Transport Protocal: POP3
Message Protocal: XIALL
Given the URL and UserId and PWD also
Poll Intevel: 1 (Mins)
Adapter Status: Active
Please help to me solve this problem. I already raised the one more thread today but didn't get solutions.
Note: Do i need to do any setting from the Lotus notes(Mail Server) to diver my messages.
Thanks in Advance,
I found the problem with SMTP Address. Can i use the SMTP Url for POP3 or IMP4 protocal. Is there any thing else because if i use the Same SMTP Address, it is giving exception
Best Regards,
Vijay

Hi Gangisetty,
 SMTP is the out going server(for sending mails out) while POP3 is the in coming(receiving mails) server. So for a sender channel, you need to use the POP server details not SMTP.

Sender Mail Adapter - forcing content as an attachement

Hi all,
We are using the Sender Mail Adapter to pull emails from the inboxes of some users of an exchange server. We use the Mail Package option.
We have noticed that the content of the emails are by-default added as attachments when there are no real attachments to the emails. However the content is not added as an attachment when one or more attachments are present in these emails.
Is there a way of forcing the Sender Mail Adapter to always add the content as an attachment and keeping the other attachments as well? and of course maintain the Mail Package message type as the main payload...?
Many thanks,
Aldo

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your reply. I am glad to hear that I am wrong again )
In your opinion is it possible to force the Outlook Exchange server to add the content attachment every time? I mean by doing some configuration on it...?
The reason why we would like to do this is because when - in the content tag of a Mail Package message - we have MIME message parts that are of content-type text/html we are having problems in decoding the html back to a readable format.
To do this we use the apache QuotedPrintableCodec Java class.
This works fine when the content type of the message is just text/plain but we get an exception when we try with text/html.
The exception we get is:
org.apache.commons.codec.DecoderException: Invalid URL encoding: not a valid digit (radix 16): 13
I don't know if this is because of the two character sets we have in the payload (utf-8 and iso-8859-1) or if it is for other reasons...
If you could help me figure out how to forward any HTML email to another system in a readable format it would be great.
Thanks for your support,
Aldo

Sender Mail Adapter Configuration - Process Multiple Attachments

Dear sirs,
I need to process several attachments at the same mail message as individual payloads.
In default configuration of sender mail adapter only the body of message is used as payload.
So I added PayloadSwapBean Module at Processing Sequence and it processed the attachment I set in Module Configuration. I'm not able to process all attachments available, just one attachment is sent to PI pipeline.
How can I process all attachments of a single mail message?
Thank you in advance.

Sender Mail adapter encounters MalformedInputException

I have a sender mail adapter that processes the attached .csv file. All is working fine. I use FCC in module to convert the attachment and pass to an IDOC adapter for processing in SAP system.
My problem is sometimes the sender mail CC fails with ...........
exception caught during processing mail message[1]; com.sap.aii.af.mp.module.ModuleException: Transform: failed to execute the transformation: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException caused by: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException
It only fails with some files. At the moment when we test we FORWARD the email to our email account. If I detach the failed email attachment and attach it to a NEW email it will then work.
So why does it not work when forwarding emails? But it works when I attach the same file to a new email and send?
Other threads for this error seem to point to encoding. But how do I know which to use. I currently use the following in my module config:
Transfer.ContentType     application/octet-stream;charset="ISO-8859-1"

I have this in my configuration:

Sender "Mail" adapter - CSV file attachment

Hi there
I'm looking for some help in configuring a sender mail adapter that receives ".csv" files. I did read some blogs that mention using the "PayloadSwapBean" module to read the mail attachment instead of the mail content. My problem is to now convert the ".csv" file into a message. Is there a module that I can use ( is it the "MessageTransfomBean" ) and how. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Salil

Hi Salil,
If you want to send a mail with a body and attachments, the message sender HAS to provide an XI message with attachments. I doubt a CSV file does justice.
As Renjith said you need to convert CSV to XmL.
A short description about the Standard Modules:
MessageTransformationBean is a standard module used to apply the XSLT mapping to the adapter module by using Transform.class ( This xslt mapping is done to create a mail package, Dont confuse with the actual mapping in your case this is NOT for converting csv to xml).
Also this module can be used to change the name and type of payloads by using Transform.contentType, Transform.contentDisposition, Transform.contentDescription.
PayloadSwapbean is a standard module for replacing payloads with other payloads (SWAP)
If you want to give each attachment a certain name use Parameters, swap.keyname for name of the payload and swap.keyvalue.
I Hope the use of standard modules is understood.

Sender Mail Adapter, technical Acknowledgement

Hi all,
I have a SMTP --> XI --> Proxy Scenario. For the inbound message I get via SMTP, I'd like to send a technical acknowledgement back to the Sender (via SMTP, too). The acknowledgement has a specific message structure, for example it contains the DocumentID of the inbound message I get via SMTP.
My idea now is: Within ReceiverDetermination, I configure two receivers:
1. Backend system for the Inbound Proxy
2. original Sender System
Within Interface Determination, I'll do 2 mappings:
1. Mapping from source message to ABAP proxy interface
2. Mapping from source message to technical acknowledgement structure
Then, receiver agreements / receiver communication channels for both interfaces.
My question now is: is there a more elegant solution then doing the scenario like described above? Maybe something I can do in the Sender Mail Adapter to create the specific technical acknowledgement and sent it back to the sending application?
Best regards
Holger

Hi Holger !
XI supported acks are not available for your scenariom because the smtp/mail sender cannot request it.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/f4/8620c6b58c422c960c53f3ed71b432/frameset.htm
You should create some kind of artificial ack, that should be part of your own protocol. What I meant with the SYNC proxy, is to use its response message as your own defined ack, because it is not supported as is.
If you call your proxy async, then you will not receive any feedback to use it as ack info.
Another idea could be to forget the ack per se, and just use define an alert in case of problems with the scenario to send a mail to the specified users.

Matias

Sender Mail Adapter - S/MIME - How to use it?

Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out how to use the S/MIME security parameter of the Sender Mail Adapter in PI 7.1.
Could anyone point me to some useful documentation/examples/blogs ?
Or perhaps explain what steps are involved when configuring this parameter?
We are pulling emails from an Microsoft Exchange server.
Many thanks,
Aldo

First of all one sender mail adapter has to be tight with a specific sender email address.
The email has to be decrypted as whole, you cannot decrypt parts of it.
Then you store certificates to secure store in J2EE server and point to it in send agreement, this should be equal to HTTPS setup
Check security guide:

Sender Mail adapter configuration with attachment

Hi,
I read the below blog regarding the mail adapter
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
I have the same requirement but the attachment file is not an XML, it is CSV file so in the module tab if I change like below is it enough?
TRANSFORM swap.keyValue attachment; filename=u201DMailAttachment-1.csvu201D (I think MailAttachment-1 is the file name, am I correct?)
If I change like above is it ok? or any other thing is required, Could you please give me the inputs
Thanks
Ramesh

I have the same requirement but the attachment file is not an XML, it is CSV file so in the module tab if I change like below is
it enough?
PayloadSwapBean will ensure that the input to the mapping is from the attachment.....in the blog the attachment is in XML format and hence there was no need for any conversion.....yours is however a CSV file so you need to convert it to XML first and then do the further processing.....you can either use the MessageTransformationBean as shown in this blog:
/people/gabrielsagayaselvam.panneerselvam/blog/2009/08/31/solve-key-field-problem-using-structplain2xml-in-messagetransformationbean
Or write your own module code for the conversion.

Abhishek.

Sender Mail Adapter with PayloadSwapBean

Hello Experts!
I have a Sender Mail Adapter receiving emails with attachments! I'm using PayloadSwapBean, because I have to manipulate (to do mapping) the XML attachment.
Sender Mail Adapter Configuration:
Default Interface Namespace = urn:mynamespace.com
Default Interface Name = abs_async_myInterface
swap.keyName = Content-Disposition
swap.keyName = Content-Description
swap.keyValue = attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
swap.keyValue = MailAttachment-1
Well, my problems are:
1) Although my Default Interface Namespace is urn:mynamespace.com, sometimes the namespace that cames to SXMB_MONI is http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail. In that case, an Receiver Determination error happens.
2) My XML can be the first (MailAttachment-1), the second (MailAttachment-2), the third (MailAttachment-3), or any other attachment position. Since my swap.keyValue is set to "MailAttachment-1", I'm able to pick the XML only if it is the first attachment.

Hi Julio,
Writing an Adapter Module for the same can make your task easy.

Sender Mail Adapter Error: exception caught during processing mail message;

HI , I am configuring mail to file scenario. Need to read mail content (no need to capture From,TO or Subject details) and create a file with the content in the mail.
Need to read mails from microsoft outlook. Exchange server has been configured for POP3 protocol.
Following are the details provoding in sender mail adapter:
URL: provided url in the format: pop://<server name>
Authentication method: plain
provided user credinetions to access mails.
poll interval - 1min
content encoding none.
processing parameters : quality of service-exactly once
Since there is no need to capture From,TO or Subject details, didn't select the option - use mail package.
Verified for unread mails in the mail box and made sure that there are few unread mails.
Also, created data types and other components in IR and completed mapping.
But after starting sender mail communication channel, getting error "exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.NullPointerException" in RWB-adapter-communication channel monitoring.
please let me know what needs to be done to resolve this error.
Thanks.

HI Stefan, i tried, but still it is giving same error. Yes, i am able to access outlook mail with the user credentials given in the communication channel to access exchange server.
I am using message protocol: xipayload . Also since i dont have to capture TO,from,subject details., created data type just with one element of type string, not in the standard format .Does this makes any difference.
