Sender Mail adapter get no mails

Hello,
we are using the sender mail adapter to receive mails (IDOCS) from a Exchange server.
A few days it works, but suddenly no mails are received.
But in RWB the mail adapter status is green and shows, that there are no new mails. But when I check the mail box with OUTLOOK, there are some mails.
When I deactivate and activate the mail adapter, all mails are read then.
Pollinterval: 1 minute
XI: SP10
Who can help me are had s similar problem?
Or is it possible to stop/start the mail adapter (or the adapter engine) automaitcally (more like a workarround)
best regards
Werner Magerl

Hi All,
I chekced your responses and tried accordingly. Our basis team has given me new link now and the error message has changed. I am getting following error message.
exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: unexpected login response; read 001F BAD Command received in Invalid state.
Does anyone have any idea what this error is?
Thanks in advance,
Devendra

Sender SOAP adapter: get soap header data

Hi,
I've been going through various posts and blogs here on SDN + looked in the how to guide for SOAP adapter, but still find it quite difficult to actually find out how to do it. I've tried to follow recommendations seen, but it doesn't add up.
So can someone please tell me how to get an element situated in the SOAP header of the request sent to XI via sender soap adapter?
Let's for instance say the request looks like this:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
 <SOAP-ENV:Header>
 <SSN>1234567890</SSN>
 </SOAP-ENV:Header>
 <SOAP-ENV:Body>
 <event>
 <elem1>data 1</elem1>
 <elem2>data 2</elem2>
 <elem3>data 3</elem3>
 </event>
 </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
How can I get the data in the SSN-header element at mapping time?
I'm sure this can be done by using adapter modules as the first step adapter, but I prefer doing it at mapping time if possible.
Best Regards,
Daniel

I solved it on my own now. My missing link was the fact that I'm using XMLSPY to send request and thus need to replace all '&' with & in Connection Endpoint.

BC4J send messaging adapter gets JMS exception

Running a 9i standalone application based on BC4J. The following code is trying to send a single VO to an 8i queue. Note: prior to entering this routine, I have already called the .writeXML() method on the same VO and looked at the text and the XML all looks great.
AdapterMessage[] msgs = new AdapterMessage[1];
try {
// set up queue connection
msgs[0] = AdapterMessage.newViewObjectMessage( vo );
sendMessage( msgs );
public void sendMessage( AdapterMessage[] messages)
try
ApplicationModule am = QWsetup.ApplicationModule();
BC4JSendingAdapter adapter = new BC4JSendingAdapter();
adapter.setShowTrace(true);
adapter.sendMessage( am, messages);
catch(AdapterFailureException e)
System.err.println("sendMessage error: "+e.getMessage()+"\n"+
e.getOriginalException());
e.printStackTrace();
I step into the adapter.sendMessage line and get the following in my message window...
[2] Creating JDBC Connection...
[3] oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
[4] jdbc:oracle:thin:@pgia05.pginw.com:1521:qmpgit

sendMessage error: JMS exception while processing message
java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi Roger,
I've been looking into your error message: JMS Exception while processing message.
I was able to reproduce this error message. In my case I was trying to send a BESAdapter message without setting its mandatory properties. My code was:
BESAdapterMessage a = (BESAdapterMessage)BESAdapterMessage.newViewObjectMessage(empvo);
BESAdapterMessage[] messages = new BESAdapterMessage[] {a};
try
am.sendMessage(messages);
There are two mandatory properies of the adapter that must be set that I forgot. I found the answer in the help. If you do a search for BESAdapterMessage you will find page Using the Adapter Message class for message payloads. Scroll down this page to the section: Using the BESAdapterMessage Subclass.
Although you are using the adapter classes without the modeler you may find some of the other help topics in the UML Modeling Help useful. Look under Modeling Activities for e-business Integration -> Creating Messaging Adapters.
I have raised a bug to put more validation in so that the error message will specify that properties have not been sent. Here is the abstract from help:
The BESAdapterMessage class (oracle.bm.ebiadapters.BESAdapterMessage) is a subclass of AdapterMessage. It provides additional functionality which is needed by the e-business integration generators to achieve full integration. In addition to setting the payload, the BESAdapterMessage class allows you to set metadata properties which are mapped to JMS header fields. Some of these properties are mandatory and some are optional. For example, the setEventName(String eventName) and setEventKey(String eventKey) methods can be used to set the mandatory Event Name and Event Key properties. Once set, these properties are mapped to JMS header properties to allow the JMS messages to be correctly propagated between Oracle AQ queues.
I've also raised a doc. bug to look again at the doc in this area.
Thank you very much for taking the time to report on this problem. We are reliant on input from people like you to continue to improve our product.

Getting error when configured sender mail adapter

Hi Everyone,
When i tried configuring sender mail adapter am getting these logs in Runtime workbench.
In ID,when i gave ip address in place of URL, am getting this log
"exception caught during processing mail message; java.io.IOException: unexpected password response; read -ERR Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password."
When i gave URL in place of URL, am getting this log
"exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.UnknownHostException:"
why is it giving this log, What correction i have to do to make it work.
Thanks in advance,
Sakthi

Hi,
1.How to stop deleting mails.
When the IMAP4 protocol is used, we get an option "Delete messages when read".You could specify if you need to delete it or not.
2.How to do mapping for an attachment,what additional things i have to do for this.
Could you please elaborate?
3.Is there any option to change the flag of mail once it is read by XI.
You cannot do this from XI. You would need to do it in your email client. In case you are using IMAP4,you could mark the message as read, once XI reads the unread message.
Regards,
Smitha.

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.

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,

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, 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 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.

Sender Mail Adapter - default interface name

Hi,
I need to receive through one e-mail sender channel tree different kind of messages.
In sender mail adapter I specify ecept other parameters "Default Interface Name". When I send a message with a same as defined in an interface the message is processed correctly.
But when I send a different kind of message then I get an error : "Receiver could not be determined".
Is any way around how through one sender e-mail adapter receive a different kinds of messages ?
Thanks for any help,

Sender Mail Adapter issue

Hi All,
We are getting this error in Sender Mail adapter.
"exception caught during processing mail message; java.net.ConnectException: A remote host refused an attempted connect operation"
It is a (Lotus Notes) Mail to File scenario.
Used POP3, and gave the URL as POP:// ** .
I have tried pinging the server and getting a good response.
I have also tried the OS01 ans it returned a response : Program Terminated.
I am not sure if the POP3 port is enabled.
Are there any check points we are missing ?
Please throw some light on this as we need to solve this asap ..
Yashwanth
Edited by: YashwanthSVK on Aug 2, 2011 7:18 PM

Shabarish is right.
This seem a connectivity issue. Try to ping Mail server from your PI System and check pop3 port.

Sender Mail Adapter - java.lang.NullPointerException in CC monitoring

hi,
I configured my Sender Mail Adapter correctly.
I have the correct POP URL, authentication. I'm not using PayloadSwapBean right now.
I can't get rid of the exception inside my Channel monitoring.
exception caught during processing mail message; java.lang.NullPointerException
does anyone know why?
I've been told the POP account has emails already.
I will try to create an outlook account for this POP e-mail account in the mean time to see the e-mails.
Thank you

thanks aaron.
I don't see the folder ./SYS/../j2ee/...
will it be under another folder? I don't see a trace log folder either.
I think the problem might be in the Module tab.
I tried.
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
/localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
/localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
they all produce the same error. I wonder if these Beans actually exist.
I think we might have to reinstall this Mail Adapter altogether.
Or maybe it's really the connection to the Mail Server. But would it display this kind of message.
This is what I'm looking at.
Also, i had to use this URL
pop://server:995/
(995 is using SSL and it is the default port). When I use this, I see the Java Null Pointer Exception a lot less frequently. Weird.

Error when using Variable Transport Binding in Sender Mail Adapter

Hi,
I am using the Sender Mail Adapter to receive an email, convert the attached tab delimited text file into xml and map it to an IDOC.
I am using PayloadSwapBean and MessageTransformBean in order to do this, and this all works perfectly.
I am now trying to access the Adapter Specific Message Attributes to retrieve the SHeaderFROM attribute from the message and map it to a field in the idoc.
However when I check the "Variable Transport Binding" option in the Advanced tab of the mail adapter, the message no longer goes through to SXMB_MONI and I get the following error in the Java logs.
Transmitting the message to endpoint http://sapserver:53500/sap/xi/engine?type=entry using connection AFW failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Received HTTP response code 500 : Error during parsing of SOAP header.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,
Brad

Hi Luciana,
Honestly, I cant really remember how or if it was resolved and I was just helping out on the issue, but another consultant continued with it, so unfortunately I cant be any help on this.
Good luck!

Issue with reading attachment in sender mail adapter

Hi, I am working on Email to file scenario, where I have to connect to exchange server and take the attachment of the email (xml file) and save it on to PI server. I have configured sender mail communication channel with following details:
Protocol: POP3
Message protocol: XIPAYLOAD
Mail attributes: keep attachments
Module:
1 localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean 1
2 localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
1 swap.keyName Content-Description
1 swap.keyName Content-Description
1 swap.keyValue attachment,filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
1 swap.keyValue MailAttachment-1
Also, configured receiver file adapter.
Since I donu2019t have to read mail content , I havenu2019t created any design components in ESR. I have just refrred to dummy namespace, interface (both sender and receiver). in receiver determination, interface determination, sender agreement and receiver agreements.
It was working fine, not sure what changes happened. Now I could see the attachment payload in message monitor.
Under Inbound message->payloads->
MailMessage ( text/xml;charset=utf-8 )
MailAttachment-1 ( text/xml;name="****************")
But the fille that is getting created doesnu2019t have the contents of the attachment (xml file) . It has some other information, shown below:
Directory: ******
Name: ********.xml
 =NextPart_002_01CB2C5B.B033B325#
content-type:text/plain;charset="us-ascii"#
content-length:30#
content-transfer-encoding:quoted-printable#
<<**********.xml>>=20#
 =NextPart_002_01CB2C5B.B033B325#
content-type:text/html;charset="us-ascii"#
content-length:#
content-transfer-encoding:quoted-printable#
 =NextPart_002_01CB2C5B.B033B325 #
Can you please let me know what is going wrong here.

using following parameters in module resolved my problem:
MOdule name Type Module Key
AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean Local Enterprise Bean transform sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean Local Enterprise Bean mail
Module Key Parameter Name Parameter value
transform swap.keyName Payload-Name
transform swap.keyName MailAttachment-1

Sender Mail Adapter - CC Error

Hi,
My scenario is Mail>XI>Proxy(R/3).
The sender mail adapter checks the e-mail box and procces into XI.
I'm getting the following error in the CC:
"exception caught during processing mail message, java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException 0 > = 0"
But, this error is only present when the client try to sent the e-mail data, If i resend the same e-mail manually it works perfectly ( Which led me to think that the CC configuration is correct ).
I'm not ruling out any outlook issue.
Do you guys have experiencied this kind of issue?
Thanks.

Thanks Satish,
I'm sending the same e-mail. (manually works, automatically don´t work)
Also, I can´t see the result of the payload because the error is in CC and only shows that error.
Configuration CC:
Transport Protocol: POP3
Message Protocol: XIPAYLOAD
URL, User,Pass...
Encoding : base64
Quality of service: Exactly Once
- Any suggestions?
