Reading attachments in PI map

Hi,
I have a scenario where, i have attachment (PDF) are getting attached through Proxy. I need to save these attachments to Live Link Folder.
I have seen some posts here where they have explained the java code used in UDF to read the attachments. I have implemented that. The problem is Message mapping when i test is working fine, no errors. But the operation mapping throws the error. I have checked the "Read Attachments" Flag but still it doesn't work.
Can any body please help me with some blog or steps that explains the steps.
Also i read on SDN that only XML attachments can be read, but that also didn't worked for me.
Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks

why don't you use swappayload bean to put the PDF into the folder ?

Read Attachments in Operations Mapping called by Transformation Step

Hello,
I would like to read the attachment of my input message. I created an UDF that assigns the attachment to to a target field, furthermore I have activated the option "Read Attachments" in operation mapping.
But when I call the operation mapping in a transformation step in BPM, the target field is not filled. Is it not possible to read attachments in BPM?
Thank you for your advice.

Attachments are not available inside BPM.
Try to do the mapping outside BPM.

Read Attachments using Java Mapping API

Hello,
after investigating the Java Mapping API a little deeper I found some very interesting Interfaces "InputAttachments" and "Attachments" which could do exactly what is required:
Reading attachments and convert them into base64 code.
As I am not an experienced Java Programmer howeve, I am note sure how to use those interfaces.
For example there is a method defined in interface "InputAttachments":
Attachment getAttachment(String contentID)
How do I use it? If I use it in a way like "InputAttachments.getAttachment("abc");" then I get the error that it is not a static method. However how do I instantiate "InputAttachments".? As it is an interface I am not sure how to do this.
Any idea how to handle these methods?

Hi,
I am working on the similar. I am able to attach txt files and csv files but have trouble attaching xcel and pdf's. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Problem by adding attachments in Java Mapping

Hi,
we have to add some attachments in Java Mapping.
So we are using the Java Mapping API.
But it doesn't work correctly.
We got the following error in sxmb_moni:
Attribute Manifest ExampleAttachment is initial
So we checked what happened in the Manifest and in the SAP SOAP Envelope and we see that there is an inconsistence.
In the SAP Manifest we find the following entries:
<SAP:Manifest xmlns:SAP="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Message/30" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:wsu="http://www.docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd" wsu:Id="wsuid-manifest-5CABE13F5C59AB7FE10000000A1551F7">
 <SAP:Payload xlink:href="cid:payload-79a6e3c088db11dfa4dd0017a477c1e8<at>sap.com">
 <SAP:Name>MainDocument</SAP:Name>
 <SAP:Description/>
 <SAP:Type>Application</SAP:Type>
 </SAP:Payload>
 <SAP:Payload xlink:href="ExampleAttachment">
 <SAP:Name>ExampleAttachment</SAP:Name>
 <SAP:Description/>
 <SAP:Type>ApplicationAttachment</SAP:Type>
 </SAP:Payload>
</SAP:Manifest>
For us it seems the entry for our ExampleAttachment is wrong. I think there must be a real content id for the attachment like the cid for the MainDocument. In the SOAP Envelope you can find the following entry for the attachment:
content-type:text/plain
content-length:45
content-id:payload-79a6e3c088db11dfa4dd0017a477c1e8<at>sap.com
This is an example for an attachment!
--SAP_0017A477C1EC1DEFA3D200A5CB55CE04_END--
So here you can see a real content ID, but you can't find it in the Manifest.
So do we anything wrong in our source code or is it a bug of the SAP API?
Do you have any ideas?
Here the Java Mapping we're using for adding an attachment (as a test):
import java.io.BufferedReader;

 String text = new String("This is an example for an attachment!");
 Attachment atta = out.getOutputAttachments().create("ExampleAttachment", "text/plain", text.getBytes());
 out.getOutputAttachments().setAttachment(atta);
 String outData = inData;
 try {
 out.getOutputPayload().getOutputStream().write(outData.getBytes("UTF-8"));
 catch(Exception exception1) { }
 // convert Stream to String
 public String convertStreamToString(InputStream in){
 StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
 try {
 InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(in);
 Reader reader = new BufferedReader(isr);
 int ch;
 while((ch = in.read()) > -1) {
 sb.append((char)ch);}
 reader.close();
 } catch(Exception exception) { }
 return sb.toString();

Read attachment content in Mapping

Hi,
In PI 7.1 there is one option to read attachment content inside mapping using the api: "com.sap.aii.mapping.api".
To do that in operation mapping we have to check the option "ReadAttachments", to get the attachments in addition to the payload. If I check the Readattachments check box, message goes into the queue and the queue status is running.
Please help me to read the attachment content in mapping.
Thanks & Regards,
Yuga

Hi,
That issue has been solved,the problem is with the syntax.
Now I was able to get the attachment details,but i was not able to read the content of the attachment.
Here is my code:
String Content = "";
String AttachmentID ="";
GlobalContainer globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
InputAttachments inputAttachments = globalContainer.getInputAttachments();
if(inputAttachments.areAttachmentsAvailable())
 Collection<String> CollectionIDs = inputAttachments.getAllContentIds(true);
 Object[] arrayObj = CollectionIDs.toArray();
 int attachmentCount = arrayObj.length;
 for(int i =0;i<attachmentCount;i++)
 AttachmentID =(String) arrayObj;
 Attachment attachments =inputAttachments.getAttachment(AttachmentID);
 Content = Content + attachments.getContent().toString();
return Content;
My requirement is to read all the attachment's.Attachment has XML content, so after reading I need to parse the xml content inside graphical mapping itself is there is any option to do like this.
Thanks & Regards,
Yuga

How to read attachment data in mapping

Hi,
In my scenario I receive an XML file with another file as attachment. I need to map both the content of the XML file and the attachment to the target which will be sent as an attachment in a mail.
I have used JavaMapping and I'm now able to send the mail with the attachment. But i'm not sure how to read the contents of the attachment in the mapping.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bhargav
Edited by: Bhargav Srinadh Gundabolu on Feb 12, 2009 10:03 PM

Hello Bhargav,
It depends on the version of SAP PI you have,
Prior to Version 7.1 there was no support to access attachments in a Mapping Programm, so in that
case the only way to handle it is e.g. to access it in an adapter module (dependent on your scenario).
In SAP PI 7.1 you can easily access an attachment within a mapping.
Within a Java mapping program this can be done with the TransformationInput Class, calling the method getInputAttachments() which will give you all available attachments.
Also see the SAP PI 7.1 javadocs (com.sap.aii.mapping.api):
https://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/SP3/xpi/index.html
In a graphical mapping you can access attachments within a UDF through the GlobalContainer parameter:
GlobalContainer globalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
InputAttachments inputAttachments = globalContainer.getInputAttachments();
With best regards

MDM API to read the Record Key Mapping table

Hi,
Does anybody know what class/method I can use to read the Record Key Mapping table?
For the Business Partner table the Key Mapping table has this columns:
Default / MDM Partner ID / Remote System / Key
I have everything but the Key. How can I read it?
Thanks in advance,
Diego.

GetKey Mapping is one of the available Web Services as of SP4.
Else you could use the Java API to get the Key Mapping.
CatalogData class has the following method
GetKeyMapping
public java.lang.String[][] GetKeyMapping(java.lang.String agency,
 java.lang.String table,
 int[] recordIDs,
 boolean isDefaultKeyOnly)
 throws StringExceptionRetrieves the key mapping for each record.
Parameters:
agency - the agency name.
table - the table name.
recordIDs - the list of records.
isDefaultKeyOnly - True to retrieve only the default value, False to all key values.
Returns: the key values for each record.

Reading files from a mapped drive

Hello,
I am trying to pull image files off of a network share in Oracle Forms.
Everytime I do this, I get error FRM-47109 Cannot locate image file..... i
have tried accessing this drive with 2 methods:
1. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE(:datablock.imagelocation ||
:datablock.filename || '.tif', 'ANY', BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM);
2. Button trigger calls with READ_IMAGE_FILE('\\server\images\'
||:CRASH_IMAGES.folder || '\' || :crash_images.docno ||'.tif',
'ANY', 'BLOCK7.IMAGE_ITEM');
Both of these calls work on the development side where the T:\ drive is mapped.
When the form is put on the production server with the same T:\ drive mapping,
the image is unable to be located.
I have also found Microsoft article Q122702, which explains how network shares
are distributed to services. I have edited the registry key
RestrictNullSessAccess to a value of 0, and remapped the drive using: NET USE
T: \\server\images /user:Administrator password.
None of this has worked for me so far, and I have been informed of possible
issues with forms and mapped network drives. Has anyone seen this before or know of a fix?
Thanks,
Jordan

I'm not too familiar with Windows user accounts.
I'm having this problem of not being able to read files from a mapped drive.
Using 10.1.2 Forms Service on a XP machine.
How do i check to see which user is running the forms service and/or how do I change the settings a user has access to?
Check in server-info and User/Group: #-1(1)/1, what the heck??
Thanks.

Reading attachments within attachments

Hi,
I tested this code that I found and I was wondering if it's possible to read attachments within attachments. We are receiving forwarded messages that have an attachment of type message. The attachment then has its own attachment of type doc. We can break it into 2 parts but we don't know how to break it into 3 parts. I'm sure this sounds confusing so here is the code example:
Object content = message.getContent();
if (content instanceof Multipart) {
handleMultipart((Multipart)content,msgName, mailFr, mailTo);
} else {
handlePart(message[i],msgName, mailFr, mailTo);
public static void handleMultipart(Multipart multipart, String msgName, String mailFr, String mailTo)
throws MessagingException, IOException {
 for (int i=0, n=multipart.getCount(); i<n; i++) {
 handlePart(multipart.getBodyPart(i),msgName, mailFr, mailTo);
public static void handlePart(Part part, String msgName, String mailFr, String mailTo)
throws MessagingException, IOException {
String disposition = part.getDisposition();
String contentType = part.getContentType();
if (disposition == null) { if ((contentType.length() >= 10) &&
(contentType.toLowerCase().substring(
0, 10).equals("text/plain"))) {
//part.writeTo(System.out);
} else {
//part.writeTo(System.out);
 saveFile(part.getFileName(), part.getInputStream(),msgName, mailFr, mailTo);
} else if (disposition.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.ATTACHMENT)) {
 saveFile(part.getFileName(), part.getInputStream(),msgName, mailFr, mailTo);
 System.out.println("This is an attachment");
} else if (disposition.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.INLINE)) {
 saveFile(part.getFileName(), part.getInputStream(),msgName, mailFr, mailTo);

If you have an attachment that's a message, then try to cast it to something of class Message or MimeMessage, then you can get parts from that.

IPhone 6 Plus 16GB blue screen crashes: Read, error type:Address map hole or size mis-match

Hi folks,
Some time ago I had a 16GB 6+ and it crashed with the blue screen, so I returned it. I now have a brand new one that I got from Tmobile ($75 return fee) and although it has mostly worked just fine, I have gotten 2 blue screen crashes. Below are the details from the phone's log.
What strikes me is the message "Read, error type:Address map hole or size mis-match".
Does anyone know if this could be caused by a hardware defect?
I've gotten one of these crashes running iOS 8.1.2 and another in 8.1.3.
Thanks.

My Windows friends cannot read attachments from my e-mails

If the attachments are common files that your recipients should be able to read (PDF, DOC, TXT) then what is the setting when you select the menu command Edit > Attachments > Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments (checked or unchecked).
If it's unchecked you should check that setting and retry.

How to read the attribute in mapping..

Hi,
My source XML looks like this
<GLDEBITACCT>
 <VALUE>0545-K-2006605-5500001</VALUE>
 <GLCOMP glorder="0">0545</GLCOMP>
 <GLCOMP glorder="1">K</GLCOMP>
 <GLCOMP glorder="2">2006605</GLCOMP>
 <GLCOMP glorder="3">5500001</GLCOMP>
</GLDEBITACCT>
Where glorder is the attribute of GLCOMP. Now I have requirement to read the attribute ( atleast 2 of them)
I have to map to target field checking the value in glorder="1
For e.g. with above XML, if the value in glorder="1 is K than map value from glorder="2 (2006605) to Target 1.
IF the glorder="1 is P map the value in glorder="2 to Target 2 and goes on for another one
How can i acheive this mapping. When I tried putting the value of glorder, i am not getting anything.
Regards,

Hi,
You can use below UDF. Please make sure to select context parameter while creating UDF. There will be 3 input arguments for this function:
1. GLCOMP (a)
2 @glorder (b)
3 Constant (c) --depending upon the target node
Also conext of attribute @glorder should be same as that of GLCOMP.
//write your code here
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
 if(b.equals("1")&&c[0].equals(a))
 for(int j=0;j<a.length;j++)
 if(b[j].equals("2"))
 result.addValue(a[j].toString());
 break;
For target node target1 use K as 3rd argument, for target node target2 use P and so on.
Let me know how it works.
Regards,
Anirudh.
