SEnde Mail adapter problem from txt to xml

Hi All
I have the following scenario - Mail->XI->RFC.
My interface keep crashing because of mapping errors. The attachment I am receiving from 3rd party like follow:
ENG_TYPE|INDUST_NO|COMPANY_NUMBER|SURNAME|INITIALS|NAMES|REGISTERED|MALE|EXPERIENCE|RACE|MARITAL_CODE
V|A0359214|137871|MASSANGO|J|JOSE|2007/01/18|1|458|A|7|4|1953/01/06|SHANGAAN|STANDARD
V|A0359214|137871|MASSANGO|J|JOSE|2007/01/18|1|458|A|7|4|1953/01/06|SHANGAAN|STANDARD

This is also how the data come into XI, and then the mapping crashes, how do I change to XML for the mapping to no crash.
I cannot seem to find anything on the module configuration to work for the Sender Mail adapter.
Thanks
Clinton

Hi,
1. You can use MessageTranformBean to convert the Text to XML.
Please look into this article for a demo on this,
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f02d12a7-0201-0010-5780-8bfc7d12f891
it talks about JMS but the messagetransformbean can be used for Mail adapters as well.

Sender Mail Adapter problem

Hi,
I am having problems to get my sender mail adapter running.
I configured it with the following parameters:
<i>Transport protocol: POP3
Message Protocol: XIALL
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
URL: pop://server
username + pw
poll intervall: 1 Min.</i>
The adapter is active and if I look into the adapter monitoring everything seems to be fine (green light).
But the adapter doesn't poll the messages from the mail account and I cannot see any activity in the message monitoring.
If I try the same configuration with Thunderbird everthing works fine. Also my receiving mail adapter works without any problems for the same account.
Do you have any idea what the problem could be or how I could find out what my mail adapter is doing?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi all, hi Andreas,
have you solved you problem? Could you please describe how you did it.
I have the same situation and I haven't any ideas how can I manage it.
I checked all parameters and compared they with documentation. Everything seems to be ok.
I didn't see any messages in the message monitoring, but in the chanel monitoring I found follows:
exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
I tried the same configuration with email client and it worked. I tried change POP on IMAP with URL imap://server/folder. It didn't work also.
Could you please help me?
Thank you in advance,
Anna

Read multi-tabbed excel file attachments from Sender Mail Adapter.

There is a need to read excel attachments from incoming email to a
mailbox. We know we can use Sender Mail adapter to easily read .xml, .txt
or .csv attachments.
For excel attachments we know from SDN that you have to write
adapter modules to handle excel. However the excel file we need to read has
multiple worksheets(tabs) and data may be contained in any of them.
Is it possible to use SAP XI Mailsender adapter to read such a file as an attachment? What kind of module development would we need for this? I am not much of a Java programmer so examples or links to other documentation would help.
Thanks,
Rudra

Rudra,
Use Java Mapping. There is a free java api available called JExcelAPI to achieve this.
Shabarish's blog describes about this. This might be helpful to you

Problem with Sender Mail Adapter

Hi experts,
I'm developing a Mail-XI-RFC scenario and have a problem in the mapping. I have created a MI based in the structure of the attachment of the mail. I have a mapping that does xml->RFC and tests OK. When I send a mail to the account of the sender adapter, the system generates two payloads, the 'MailMessage' and the 'MailAttachment-1' that is the xml to map, but I have an error in SXM_MONI 'Cannot produce target element /ns0:...RFC name'.
The Sender Adapter configuration uses message protocol XIPAYLOAD, I have checked Mail Package, base 64 and keep Attachments. Interface namespace is the same as the xml and default interface name is the message interface created of type my xml.
What is wrong?
Best Regards,
Alfredo Lagunar.

In this case you need to use payloadswap bean for swapping the payload and attachment

Problems with sender mail adapter

Hi XI Gurus
We have gone through a lot of blogs and searched a lot on the XI forum on how to configure the sender mail adapter with attachments but we still can't get it working at our site. Here are the issues -
1. When we define our data type in the IR as let's say out_email_dt with namespace "http://www.xyz.com" the mapping fails. In the monitor(SXMB_MONI) the message from the sender mail adapter comes in like this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- 
<xim:Mail xmlns:xim="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30" encoding="quoted-printable">
<Subject>test 10</Subject>
<From>"Test User" <[email protected]></From>
<To>"XI Test Account" <[email protected]></To>
<Content_Type>text/plain;charset="us-ascii"</Content_Type>
<Date>2007-05-08T05:34:38Z</Date>
<Message_ID><[email protected]></Message_ID>
<Content>This is the voice of the Mysterons=0A</Content>
</xim:Mail>
Question 1 - do we have to define our data type as "Mail" under the namespace "http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30".
Question 2 - If you look at the content of the <From>,<To>,<Message_ID> tags you will see that there is content with <> tags which is causing the message mapping to fail. Is there a way of telling XI that they are not xml tags but part of some other tags?
2. Also the PayloadSwapBean doesn't seem to swap the payload to be the attachment.
3. Can we use masks in the PayloadSwapBean for attachment names like "." as we don't know what the file name is going to be as we have multiple partners who will be sending emails to the same address and with different file formats.
Thanks in advance.
Salil

Hi,

Non XML attachment to XML in sender mail adapter

Hi,
I am working with sender mail adapter and usng payloadswapbean. My attachment is non XML and I need to convert it in to XML in order to mapping. How can I do that? Can someone explain if can I use MessageTransformBean for this purpose and if so, how?
Or any other method for doing this?
Thanks,
Rakesh

Is the attachment in text format? If yes, then after the usage of PayloadSwapBean, you may try using MessageTransformBean in the same module chain. And you will be able to convert it into xml format.

Prateek

Different Attachment extension(.xls,.txt) in sender mail adapter

Hi Experts
Is it possible to use different type of attachment extension (e.g .xls,.txt) in the sender mail adapter?
My requirement is , the attachment in the mail adapter will be used as the main payload.So I am using PayloadSwapBean adapter module.
Currently I am using the following module key for .xls attachment and it is working.Configuration for .xls attachment is as follows
swap.keyName-Content-Disposition
swap.keyname-Content-Description
swap.keyName-Content-Type
swap.keyValue-attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xls"
swap.keyValue-MailAttachment-1
swap.keyValue-application/vnd.ms-excel.
Now, the attachment may be .xls or .txt file.
Now If I want to use .txt atachment then do I need to define all these parameter again and in that case what will be my content type for .txt file.
Your inputs required
thanks
Ayan

PayloadSwapBean will only convert the attachment as the main payload.
Yeah for reading excel file I have a separate custom adapter module.This is not in the scope of my question..
All I am asking , can .txt as well as .xls attachment be used in the same sender mail adapter.
If that is possible what will be my content-type for .txt or can I remove content-type and use only content-disposition and content-description so that any type of attachment it can recognise.
The momment I am specifying content-type , I am making it particular that only say .xls attachment , it will identify.
I hope I make you clear.Inputs required
Thanks

Problem wiht sender mail adapter.

Hello.
I have a mail to RFC scenario.
There sender mail adapter fails if the mails in the inbox is encoded in specific formats.
I think the mail adapter does not understand this encoding.
Below is the error i got.
error occured: [2008-09-08T08:22:25Z] 5 new messages found; processing message 1exception caught during processing mail message[1]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 2exception caught during processing mail message[2]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 3exception caught during processing mail message[3]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 4exception caught during processing mail message[4]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; processing message 5exception caught during processing mail message[5]; java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: utf-7; action[s] taken
Is there a solution 2 overcome this problem.
I tries to use a module called "TextCodepageConversionBean" but it was not of much use.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vignesh

HI
Mail adapter does not understand "UTF-7" as shown in the error.
Mail adapter supports only
base64
Quoted-Printable
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
If you want to make your adapter more than this. Then create a custom module using open libraries that will allow you to read many Encoding standards.
Thanks

How to retrieve client certificate information from sender mail adapter

Hi, expert:
I have a requirement to verify the validation of coming email with digital certification. The mail is with digital certification. If the coming email is valid, I 'll get the attachemt of the mail for further processing. I have a sender mail adapter and receiver file adapter configued.
I have already my own developed adapter module, which is configued in mail adapter. My question is how to retrieve the detailed certificate information in the adapter module developed by myself. Is it feasible?
Thanks a lot.

The WL-Client-Proxy cert should be the cert used on the proxy side if SSL is configured between Apache and WebLogic, so I believe that is the reason why that does not work. Basically, the problem here is that SSL is end-to-end, and the two ends of this transaction are the client and apache.
That said, when you add the +ExportCertData option, this should record the client's SSL certificate in the vairable SSL_CLIENT_CERT. So you should be able to use request.getAttribute("SSL_CLIENT_CERT").
See:
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_reference.html
If this doesn't work for you (which is possible if the WL_Proxy is doing something funny to the request), it is probably best just to dump out the entire contents of the session, and see what you have:
for (Enumeration e = request.getAttributeNames() ; e.hasMoreElements() ; ) {
String attr = (String)e.nextElement();
System.out.println("ATTR = " + attr);
System.out.println("VAL = " + request.getAttribute(attr));
If you can't see any SSL certificate there, you will have to work out some way to pass this on manually.
cheers,
Trevor

Problem polling Inbox with Sender Mail adapter

Hi,
I have a funny problem with Sender Mail adapter (IMAP Protocol)
It was working fine previously.
Now, when I poll the Inbox, 2 things happen. After re-activation:
1. If there is a new mail in the Inbox, the Communication channel marks the mail as read, but still keeps reading the same mail into XI.
2. If there are no new mails in the Inbox, it reads the already read mails in the Inbox one by one. So all old mails start entering XI.
This problem exists only with the Inbox. It works fine with other folders for the same mail ID.
Any inputs as to why this is happening?
Regards,
Puloma.

Hi,
We re-started the server and problem was solved. But we don't know why the Adapter Engine was behaving erratically.

Puloma.

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.

Dynamic file name of the attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi
I have configured a sender mail adapter which receives some attachments.
Right now the file name of the attachment is hardcoded to "MailAttachment-1" "MailAttachment-2" using the content-description from "AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean" module.
I want to set it to dynamic ie. instead of "MailAttachment-1"... i want it with real name of the attach.
please suggest a solution w/o the need to develop a custom adapter module.
Thanks!
Regards,
Mariano.

Thanks Prateek,
Now, i can see that the name of the original file is into the content type named as text/xml; name"name of the file.xml" when i send the email from outlook.
If i send it from hotmail, this is not happend.
Do you know why happend this?
If i always would have the original name inside the content type, my problem will be solved.

Sender Mail Adapter Attachment

Hi All
The mail I get from the 3rd party has a body and attachment. I have done the TRANSORM module as described in some of the forums, and then the Plain2XML.
On sxmb_moni I see the MailMessage and MailAttachment-1, where the MailMessage is in XML format and MailAttachment in normal text. What should I do to completely ignore the MailMessage(body of the mail) and just send MailAttachment to the receiver.
I have tried to split the message to two receivers, but because the attachment message does not transform to xml, it gives me a mapping error. Is there anyway I can either ignore the body and just send the attachment to the receiver without doing JAVA code.
Thanks in advance
Clinton

Hi Jin
Thanks for your answer.
This is how I am using the module within the Sender Mail Adapter.
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean           TRANSFORM
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean     Plain2XML
TRANSFORM     swap.keyName     Content-Description
TRANSFORM     swap.keyName     Content-Disposition
TRANSFORM     swap.keyValue     attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
TRANSFORM     swap.keyValue     MailAttachment-1.xml
Plain2XML     Transform.Class          com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
Plain2XML     Transform.ContentType     text/xml;charset=utf-8
Plain2XML     xml.conversionType     SimplePlain2XML
Plain2XML     xml.documentName     MT_TEBA_Contractor_Details
Plain2XML     xml.documentNamespace     http://lonmin.co.za/TEBA_to_SAP
Plain2XML     xml.fieldNames          ENG_TYPE,INDUST_NO,COMPANY_NUMBER,SURNAME,INITIALS,NAME,REGISTERED,MALE,EXPERIENCE,RACE,MARITAL,DEPENDENTS,BIRTH_DATE,LANGUAGE,EDUCATION,SPOUSE,RELIGION,OFFICE,SERIAL_NO,REG_YEAR,SERV_START,SERV_EXPIRE,SERV_PER,LAST_CHANGE_DATE,LAST_CHNAGE_TIME,ID_DOC,ID_EFF_DATE,ID_EXP_DATE,PASSPORT,PASS_EFF_DATE,PASS_EXP_DATE,COUNTRY,DISTRICT,ADDR1,ADDR2,ADDR3,POSTCODE,PHONE,BI_1733_NO,REASON
Plain2XML     xml.fieldSeparator     |
Plain2XML     xml.processFieldNames     fromConfiguration
Plain2XML     xml.structureTitle     Details
Using it like this it does not do the swap correct and it still put the data within the body as xml, and leave the attachment as txt.
Can you see something wrong here.
Thanks
Clinton
