Reading attachments

I get emails from mutiple sources on PCs to my Yahoo program but I can't read the attachments on my new iMac. How do I do this?

I think you have to make this change on a system-wide basis, not just in mail. Get Info on a .doc file and find the "Open With" Section within the "Get Info" information. Change it to pages and click the "Change All" button.

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

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.

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.

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

My windows friends cannot read attachments from my e-mails

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.

Reading attachments of DMS server

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where in which i have to read the content of DMS(CV03N) attachment and display it in the quality management view of material master based on material plant combination.
I could able to add a subscreen to the QM view of Material master via customization for specific material types and screen sequence. Note: The attachment could be any thing like a txt, doc pdf, xls etc...
I tried funtion modules like 'CVAPI_DOC_VIEW' , BAPI_DOUMENT_GETDETAIL2 etc but all these documents are reading the data and displaying in a screen but not statically saving the content in an Internal table.
I have seen the function module 'RFC_DISPLAY_DOCUMENT_MASTER' which reads the document info record and directly displays the CV03N transaction second screen where we can see the attachments.
I came to know that this requirement can be met by reading the DMS attachment via the business object assigned to it (BUS1082). But couldn't able to find the appropriate function modules to do that.
Could you please send me the relavent function modules to achieve this ASAP. I am working on 4.6C version of SAP.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for the response.
I could able to fetch the document related data by using the FM 'BAPI_DOUMENT_GETDETAIL2' and it is working fine but not returning the file content into an internal table. Today I even able to find a function module 'SDOK_PHIO_LOAD_CONTENT' to load the file content into binary.
Now, the problem is to create an attachment to the quality manangement tab of material master. I could able to add a subscreen to it and trying to display the file(s) as an attachment(s).
I have tried 'SDOK_PHIO_CREATE' , 'SO_ATTACHMENT_INSERT_API1' (not for mail attachment)etc. function modules but couldn't able to find the soultion. I also got a file namely 'CA-PLM u2013 Product Lifecycle Management Functional Overview' which talks ablout the DMS Management. But the function modules specified in this doc from SAP AG are used for Document info record manipulations but not the attachments assigned to them.
So, I request you to let me know some FMs which can be used to achieve this attachment creation requirement.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

Reading attachments in the calendar

Hi, I have a question; I am working as an executive assistant and one of my duties is to organize a very busy calendar for the CEO.
I always put the attachments in his calendar for him to pick up to pre read etc, althoug they never show up in the iPhone or iPad!
Why is there a problem for the attachments to show up in the calendar? Best regards Eva

I can see that happening..Microsoft has a couple of best practices documents..one of the things they suggest is minimizing the number of delegates; it would be ideal if you could be the only delegate, but I know that is tough with vacations etc...here is a link to the best practices documents
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HA011276781033.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899704/
I haven't read these for a while, but I think they say the best thing to do when deleting a meeting is to send out a cancellation rather than just deleting it from the calendar...Another thought, you might look at the Outlook.OST (the cache files) files on the various devices..sometimes they can get out of date...You can tell your CEO, that in looking at this, this is an issues that effects lots and lots of people, and it's not limited to iOS devices..same thing happens with WM devices and RIM devices..it's my belief is has to do with Outlook\Exchange not being particularly robust with the way it handles calendar reconciliation. Another thing we suggest is for end user to minimize the number of mail clients they run..so if the CEO has say, Outlook desktop running in two places and an iPhone and and iPad, he is asking for trouble...best to have just one Outlook fat client running, web access for other PC access, and a max of one mobile device if possible.

Reading Attachments from T-code VF03

Hi folks,
I have a requirement to download all the attachments from T-code VF03 into my 'Z' program, I searched SDN a lot and I came to know that FM 'SO_OBJECT_READ' can be of some help. However, I could not understand how exactly I need to pass the parameters to it. Can I get some help how to use the FM 'SO_OBJECT_READ' or if there is any other way to download the attachments from VF03 into custom program?
Regards,
Rishi

Hello Rishi,
You can try something like this -
***    get the selected invoice
    read table t_final into w_final index e_row_id-index.
    clear pdf.
**    get the documents attached
    select    instid_b from srgbtbrel into table t_obj_key where instid_a = w_final-vbeln
                          and typeid_a = 'VBRK' and
                           catid_a = 'BO'
                          and reltype = 'ATTA'.
    loop at t_obj_key into w_obj_key.
      wa_folder_id = w_obj_key(17).
      wa_object_id = w_obj_key+17(18).
      clear wa_sood2.
***      get the file details
      call function 'SO_OBJECT_READ'
        exporting
          folder_id         = wa_folder_id
          object_id         = wa_object_id
        importing
          object_hd_display = wa_sood2.
Let me know if you need further help.
Thanks,

Reading attachments via Javamail gives ? characters

Hi,
I'm using Javamail to read messages in a mailbox and to save the attachments that are on those messages. Some attachments are HTML documents that seem to contain bullet characters (doing a View Source on the HTML still shows the bullet, not "<li>" or anything like that). The HTML documents have UTF-8 set as their encoding type.
A snippet of the code I'm using to retrieve and save the attachments is shown below :-
File file = new File(<filename to save the attachment>);
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(file);
BufferedOutputStream bos = new BufferedOutputStream(fos);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(part.getInputStream());
int aByte;
while ((aByte=bis.read()) !=-1)
bos.write(aByte);
bos.flush();
bos.close();
bis.close();
When I look at the saved file I always see a question mark character instead of the bullet.
I think it's a character set problem but can anyone offer some advice ?
Thanks in advance.

The file is going to be saved using the same encoding as was used
in the message, probably utf-8. If the program you use to view the
file is assuming a different encoding, e.g., the OS's default encoding,
you're not going to see what you expect.
You might want to convert the file to the OS's default encoding.
You can do that using Java by using a Reader to read the stream,
telling it the charset used on the mail body part, and write the
data to a Writer using the default encoding.

Reading attachments from CFolders(SRM) to ECC(PO)

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i need to read the attachments from SRM to ECC.
When the bidders bid, they attach files in SRM, these files are saved in the C-Folders in SRM Box.(No DMS)
Now, when the PO is created from the RFx, the attached files should also be transferred.
1. Is there a direct way by configuration?
2. If any development has to be done? where should it be done? SRM or ECC?
3. Can we read the files on runtime or do we need to pull files from SRM and store it in ECC?
4. BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW: BAdI of any help?
Please suggest.
Thanks
Johnson George.

Hi,
UNSPSC code is generally passed to R/3 in the MPN fields EBAN-MFRNR (Manufacturer), but you need to take care here as the MFRNR field is 'hidden' and unchangeable. (See note 615722)
So perhaps the usage of a custom field in your case would be easier.

Reading Attachments from CRM OD

I have a web portal that displays all the cases associated to the contact. I would like to showcase a section where the users can see and view any attachments are there for the case.
Service Request WSDL does not provide the ability to view attachments. Is there any workarounds for the same. Has anyone implemented similiar functionality if so please provide pointers

There is a section 'Retrieving or Quering File Attachments' section in the documentation. It looks like you can return the content of the attachement in base64 and it would be up to you to convert it back based on its type - they you would be able to display the content in your application.
