Receiver mail Adapter Rename Attachments

Hi Experts,
In an Proxy --> XI --> Mail scenario, how do I configure the Mail Receiver Adapter to rename attachments?
There is a PDF file and a DOC file that the Proxy is sendign to PI and I can see them in the payload with filenames file1.pdf and file2.doc
How do I configure the Mail receiver adapter to send them as attachments retaining the same filenames? Can I atleast assign any other name to the files?
Any method other than writing own Adapter Module?
Regards,
Shobhit

Hi Shobhit
If the attachment name is not dynamic (like timestamp) etc then you can use MessageTransformBean to change the attachment name at Mail adapter level.
Transform.ContentDisposition attachment;filename ="yourfilename.extension"
Transform.ContentDescription attachment name
Transform.ContentType your type like text/plain or application/pdf.
If you are using Mail package then you can set the attachment name from mapping itself.(here even Timestamp and Dynamic values work)
Thanks
Gaurav

Regarding Receiver Mail Adapter Attachments formats

Hi Xians,
when we configure Receiver Mail Adapter, we get the payload as Attachments in XML format. Does it support any other format apart from xml like text, pdf etc

Yes it supports all you need to do for conversion is to use MessageTransform Bean in adapter modules
and use parameter contentDispositon and contentDescirption things for setting different formats

Receiver mail adapter configuration for e-mail attachments

Hi ,
I need to send two files from sender file adapter to receiver mail adapter as e mail attachment.
I want same attachment name in email as on sender side on FTP location.
This is by pass scenario no object created in ESR.Please suggest how to handle this.
For example if file name test.txt is send by file adapter then on mail attachment name should be test.txt
Thanks
Mohit

Hi Mohit,
Follow this blog for the ID configuration:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4383
Create Receiver Determination and Interface Determination as described, and add a sender file CC and receiver mail CC according to your needs, plus sender and receiver agreements.
In order to maintain the original file names, use a simple adapter module with the code mentioned here:

Dynamic attachment name in receiver mail adapter for 1 attachment?

Hi,
seems to be a tricky thing....
The sender interface (file) picks up an xml file and a pdf document.
The receiver wants to get the xml file as a txt file and the pdf, both sent together by mail.
We are following this thread:
"Sending multiple attachments winthin a single Receiver Mail adapter in required format".
So far we are able to generate the txt file and send it together with the pdf to the recipient.
The txt file gets its name from the payload of the xml file.
Unfortunately the pdf should be renamed to the same name as the txt file.
And here we are stuck.
We generate the filename for the txt file in the mapping to the mail message (as usual ximail30.xsd).
But for the pdf we are only able to set a static name in the channel module page using
Transform.ContentDisposition.
Any ideas how to solve this are really welcome!!!!
(Solutions that do not talk about using a new module to be written are prefered.)

Dirk

Receiver Mail Adapter message with PDF attachment

Hi.
We are trying to generate emails from the mail adapter that includes the plain text in the body of the resulting email and an attached PDF file. We receive the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:newMailRequest_MT xmlns:ns0="http:/pdk/sap/TorstenTest">
   <Sender/>
   <Receiver/>
   <BodyContent/>
   <Subject/>
   <Attachment/>
</ns0:newMailRequest_MT>
I have set up an interface and mail adapter to be able to produce emails with plain text in the body. I used SAP note 748024 for this.
So right now I can make XI send emails with dynamic mail addresses. My problem lies in sending attached files with the mails as well.
I have read most of the threads in here, but none of them seem to answer just how to include the attachment. Which field in the 'Mail' message type is used for the attachment??
What needs to be added to the communication channel and adapter for it to include attachments, while the body of the mail still keeps the plain text message??

hi
I have used the following links to send the file as an attachement and as payload.
so it may help u.

Receiver Mail Adapter - Avoid attachment

Hello
Could anyone please let me know, how to prevent a mail attachment with a Receiver Mail Adapter. I have chosen XIPAYLOAD as Message Protocol. When the mail is received there is no mail body, instead only the attachment contains the message.
Thanks
John Jeyaraj

Hi,
Use Mail XSD as target structure in your mapping and enable use Mail package in your receiver channel...
for avoiding attachments..

give in detail ? (in Receiver mail adapter Communication channel, advanced mode additional parameters)

Hi
f i create like this Receiver CC (module Tab)
number: 1
Module Name: localejbs/CreateAttachment
Module Type: Local Enterprise Bean
Module Key: mail
is it enough? do i need any other setting like this
Did you deployed CreateAttachment on PI server. As this is not a standard SAP module this is a custom module?
mail as module key is already used by XIMAILAdapterBean use some other key for CreateAttachment
Settings are fine for the Module
Processing Sequence
localejbs/CreateAttachment Local Enterprise Bean XML2Plain
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Configuration
XML2Plain Transform.Class com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
In this:
Module Key: XML2Plain
Parameter Name: Transform.Class
Parameter Value: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
is it right?
Processing sequence is fine
XML2Plain Transform.ContentType text/plain;charset=utf-8
XML2Plain xml.Header1000.fieldFixedLengths 100,10,10,30,30,80,80,20,10,10,20,20,30,10,18,240,10,30,18,10

XML2Plain xml.addHeaderLine 0
XML2Plain xml.conversionType StructXML2Plain
XML2Plain xml.recordsetStructure Header1000,Header2000
can i anyone explain how to these settings?
Is this key valid to provide inputs to the module check with the code for this module
This looks like valid for MessageTransformBean ro StrictXMLtoPlainBean

Dynamic excel filename Receiver Mail adapter

Hi all,
May i know what is the way to dynamically set the file name of attachment in receiver mail adapter.

If yes how?
Thanks In Advance,
H.L.Babu

                  System.err.println("The name of the file."+filename);
                  xp.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");

            System.err.println("Message Set is successful");
But it is not getting the excact file name..
Any coments..

Dynamic attachment name with receiver mail adapter and use mail package

We need to send mapped XML payload as attachment (with dynamic name) to a recepient (recepient email id is part of input xml payload, but not part of the mapped XML payload).
I could probably do this using the adapter module (as per the following link),
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Adapter%20Module%20PI%207.0%20Set%20Attachment%20Name?bc=true
I would like to explore if this would be feasible using Mail package and XI payload.I already have a Java mapping that is converting the input XML to required Output format. If I am using Mail package (XI Payload), how do I go about sending this Output XML from java mapping as attachment to email id available in the input payload?

Hi,
1) XML payload as attachment (with dynamic name)
2) recipient (recipient email id is part of input xml payload, but not part of the mapped XML payload)
These two is possible by using Mail Package. You have a standard xsd for mail package which you can download from the SAP Note 748024.
The xml created in you java mapping which will be your attachment should be put into the <content> tag of the mail package xml structure. and the file name can be set in the <Content_Type> tag.
<?xml version="1.0"; encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p2:Mail xmlns:p2="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
<Subject>My Invoice</Subject>
<From>from email address<;/From>
<To>to email address</To>
<Content_Type>text/plain;name="MyFile.csv";</Content_Type> --> file name here
<Content>123;A49;aaa</Content> -> attachment xml here
</p2:Mail>
And you have to select MailPackage in the receiver mail adapter.

Aravind

Receiver Mail Adapter, Mail Package with Payload as Attachment

Hi Everyone,
I have spent the better part of the day today searching and testing all of the different combinations that I could think of to solve this problem, so please don't just do an SDN search for me and cut/paste in the links as there are too many contradictive answers piling up over the last year.
I am trying to use a Receiver mail adapter to send some data using the mail package, and I want to have the <content> tag be in an attachment. I am using mail package to dynamically set the mail address, but to also try and turn my data into a csv file that the recipient can open in Excel.
My mail package sets the following values:
<Content_Type>text/plain</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment</Content_Disposition>
<Content>Sample Text</Content>
This blog is basically what I am trying to do:
<a href="/people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword:///people/community.user/blog/2006/09/08/email-report-as-attachment-excelword
But no where in here is he setting ContentDisposition, and he is (potentially) not using the MessageTransformBean module.
It is unclear if I need to use the MessageTransformBean to make this work?
Questions:
1) Do I need to use the MessageTransformBean?
2) Do I need to set the ContentDisposition in the mail package?
3) Does Service Pack matter with these settings? We are on SP15 upgrading to SP18 very soon.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
try:
<Content_Type>text/plain;name="file.csv"</Content_Type>
<Content_Disposition>attachment;filename="file.csv"</Content_Disposition>
