Unzipping attachments

Anyone now if this is possible?
We have reports sent to us each night that are multiple text files in a zip archive. I can't believe this functionality is built into OS X and not supported at all on the iPhone.

No you cannot do this since you cannot store files on the iPhone.

Zipping the payload using File adapter

Hi Experts,
I have a 620 MB xml file, which need to be archived on daily basis.
but the XI server shows 503 service unavailable message, while trying to process the huge file.
also used the Zippayloadbean module in the file adapter, but no luck.
Please suggest on how to archive 620 MB xml file.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mk,
I know that there is a bean for the adapter module that unzips attachments. Have a look if there is a module for zipping.
Zip or Unzip your Payload with the new PayloadZipBean module of the XI Adapter Framework

Unzip outlook attachments

Hi, I have the following code to save outlook attachments to a folder on arrival. But the attachments are zipped, and want the saved files to be unzipped. Any help much appreciated.
Public Sub saveAttachtoDisk(itm As Outlook.MailItem)
Dim objAtt As Outlook.Attachment
Dim saveFolder As String
saveFolder = "C:\Users\brendan\XML Files"
     For Each objAtt In itm.Attachments
          objAtt.SaveAsFile saveFolder & "\" & objAtt.DisplayName
          Set objAtt = Nothing
     Next
End Sub

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to unzip the Outlook attachments, please follow these steps: -
Sub UnzipAttachment(Item As Outlook.MailItem)
    Dim olkAttachment As Outlook.Attachment, _
        objShell As Object
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    If Item.Attachments.Count > 0 Then
        For Each olkAttachment In Item.Attachments
            If LCase(Right(olkAttachment.FileName, 4)) = ".zip"
Then
                olkAttachment.SaveAsFile "C:\EmailAttachments\"
& olkAttachment.FileName
                objShell.Run """C:\Program
Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"" e -aoa ""C:\EmailAttachments\" & olkAttachment.FileName & """"
            End If
        Next
    End If
    Set olkAttachment = Nothing
    Set objShell = Nothing
End Sub
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

SAP PI7.31 : Mail with multiple attachments - how to process via UDF

Hi
wondering how I can approach this problem.   I have to read an Email with any number of attachments - it can have between 1 and 4 or maybe more of different types (CSV,XLS,PDF,ZIP). I need to read this email and extract the attachments to a folder.
Just to let you know I have done this OK for an email that I know only has 2 attachments ! Works perfectly - just no good for ?n? attachments !
   Mail Sender has AF_Modules/MultipartHeaderBean to add payload Attributes
   The message is sent to 2 Receivers
   Each Receiver File adapter then uses AF_Modules/DynamicConfigurationBean and AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
Problem is that when I do not know how many attachments there are. So I will have to write a Java UDF mapping, perhaps using the classTransformationInput.
My question is : To create a Java UDF what should be structure of a sent Email message Type look like so I can feed that into a UDF to check what payload attachments there are etc ?.

As long as you use java mapping, you can have any dummy structures for your interfaces.
But, if you prefer to use graphical mapping with UDF, then you should have some valid structures for your mail and file interfaces. e.g., mail pack XSD for mail interface as metioned by Indrajit Sarkar
and again the same structure for the file interface as well so that you can have one to one mapping an then make use of UDF code from the article. Use payload swap bean in the receiver file channel to replace xml payload with Zipped attachments and then finally use script to unzip this zip file.
Rgds,
Praveen Gujjeti

Plain Text Attachments are delivered as inline through sendmail in Solaris

We are trying to send a plain text attachment through sendmail, but it is delivered as a inline message with all the headers in the body of the mail.
I am using the following format for the mail header
dataFile << "\nContent-Type: MULTIPART/mixed; ";
dataFile << "BOUNDARY=Shrewdness_of_Apes_263_000"<<endl;
dataFile << "--Shrewdness_of_Apes_263_000"<<endl;
dataFile << "Content-Type: TEXT/plain; charset=us-ascii"<<endl;
dataFile << "Content-MD5: y0krffm1wXDXyHUnlA7/Ow=="<<endl;
dataFile << "--Shrewdness_of_Apes_263_000"<<endl;
dataFile << " Content-Type: TEXT/plain;";
dataFile << " name=\"Report.txt\";charset = us-ascii" << endl;
dataFile << " Content-Description:Report.txt"<<endl;
dataFile << "Content-MD5: PzHeltJOzVrvtnvTQ9aofQ=="<<endl;
dataFile << "\n--Shrewdness_of_Apes_263_000--"<<endl;
Please tell whether the format is correct for Solaris 10.
This is correctly working in Solaris 8.

The information in your link is wrong.
There are several options for doing what you want. The easiest, and best, option is to compress the attachments as zip files before attaching them. Then they'll always be displayed as file attachments. The recipient will have to unzip them, obviously. Some enterprise mail gateways may balk at zip attachments, because they're often used to distribute Windows malware.
Another good option is to use a third-party mail client that better suits your needs, such as Thunderbird.
You could try the third-party application called "Attachment Tamer," which purports to change the behavior of Mail. I have no experience with it.
Finally, you can try the hack suggested in this thread:

I have no idea whether it works and I don't recommend it.

Star Office files as attachments treated as "zipped"

I just finally got around to upgrading my wife's iMac to Tiger - and it seems to have created a problem...
She does some work for folks who use Star Office, and frequenty gets Star Office files as attachments. Under Panther, this was no problem - the files arrived as Star Office documents which she could click on to open in NeoOffice; however, with Tiger it seems that Mail is interpreting the .sxw extension as a "zipped" file, causing problems opening the documents from within Mail. Files sent to her as .swx files are showing in Mail as .swx.zip in the body of the email, and just as .swx in the attachments list. Whether she clicks on the Star Office attachment in the email body, or from the attachments list, Mail gives a warning that the file appears to be a zip file and could contain an application.
If she clicks "ok" on the warning, the file will usually open in NeoOffice as before -- but this is still bugging her (and therefore comes back to me). The worse part is that it seems that when she sends .sxw files, the people receiving them are now having problems.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can change to fix this? Or could this be a new "bug" introduced in Tiger's Mail?

Unfortunately, that does not resolve the problem. The Star Office files open fine in NeoOffice if she first saves it somewhere rather than trying to open it from within Mail.
I have done some more testing and discovered that it is definitely a Mail related problem... I had her send me a .swx file, and in Mail I had the same problem as she's having. Got the warning message about it being a zipped file, etc. (actually, if you click it from within the body of the email, after clicking "ok" to the warning it appears that BOMArchiver - or whatever the built-in zip utility is - tries to unzip it).
I then tried using Thunderbird to receive the mail with the .swx attachment. No problems there at all -- it did not appear as a .zip file, and there were no warnings.
So, I've concluded that it has something to do with Mail - and it's a new problem with Tiger, she never had the problem in Panther.

Mapping multiple xml attachments

Dear all,
We have a scenario where we receive multiple xml messages in a zip file. It is possible to unzip this file using the standard PayloadZipBean, and the xml messages are added as attachments to my PI message.
Now I want to map each attachment to a target message. What is the best way to achieve this?
I have seen this thread for accessing the attachments in the graphical map:
/people/yugapreetha.t/blog/2009/08/24/read-the-attachments-of-the-input-xi-message-in-the-message-mapping
However, should I develop an additional UDF for parsing the data? How can I achieve this?
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Rudy

> Each xml attachment should result in one service call.
In that case I recommend to unzip the file with an OS command and process the XML files individually.
But when you say, you have a sync call, what do you want to do with the response message?

So the thing with the attachments in Mail for Mac...

Hey guys,
I've searched and browsed for the last 2 or 3 hours to find a solution to this problem and I've seen that many others are having the same problem and no solution for it.
What's the problem?
I'm using the standard Mail program on a Macbook Pro under OS X Mavericks and no matter how I attach a file in an eMail it will ALWAYS come as "inline" or "embedded" to the recipient. Now this bothers me **** of a lot, because the mails simply look riddiculous. I would really like to attach my .jpeg and .pdf files as ATTACHMENTS and not as pictures which then by some can't even be saved or downloaded.
What "solutions" have I tried?
So this problem dates back to 2008 / 2009 and I'm not the only one having this issue. Apparently there are some solutions.
Here are the ones that I tried but didn't work:
setting composed mails to "plain text" rather than "rich text" - failed
clicking the embedded file and activating "view as icon" - failed
the thing with the terminal command - failed
attachments always on end of document - failed
Attachment Tamer seems to work, but causes some crashes and I'm not really happy with a third party program whose development seems to have stopped since a pre-realease build.
Now I would really, really appreciate any more ideas to solve this problem.. it is literally driving me crazy .
So long,
Oliver

It seems hard to control how the recipient's email program will process the attachment. I always put my attachments at the end of the message and they stay there as far as I know, so it is not clear what causes this problem for those that experience it.
One workaround: zip the attachment(s) and send the zipped file. You "zip it" by selecting the file(s) control-clicking and selecting "compress". Of course, now the recipient has to have the "unzipping" ability, which may or may not be a problem.

Export file Attachments in Siebel

hi ,
we have a requirement to export siebel attachment from Siebel eclinical application. The entity relation is between activity and attachments.
When i am trying to export the files attachments using the following IFB code
[Siebel Interface Manager]
     USER NAME = "sadmin"
     PASSWORD = "****"
     PROCESS = "EXPORTATTACHMENTS"
[EXPORTATTACHMENTS]
     TYPE = EXPORT
     TABLE = EIM_ACT_DTL
     BATCH = 2
     ATTACHMENT DIRECTORY = "f:\sia81\CTMS\siebsrvr\OUTPUT"
     EXPORT ALL ROWS = FALSE
     EXPORT MATCHES     = S_ACTIVITY_ATT,( FILE_NAME LIKE "MarcRendell-PS%")
When runnign this ifb following is the observation
1) the process is extracting all the reocrds activity table to EIM tables and seems like EXPORT MATCHES condition is kinda ignored as there were less numbers of recprds which were expedted.
2) the files are not getting exported to the location ( also tried with SiebFS)
Could you please help me with your inputs which will help me to solve this issue.
Warm Regards
Ashutosh

Problem viewing files that were saved as Attachments using PSoft functions

Hello,
I am trying to apply the code delivered in FILE_ATTACH_WRK to send an attachment to our server, and also to retrieve (view) the file. I am able to save the attachments and also to retrieve them for viewing. But something is happening to the files when I return them from the server to view them. For example, I saved a text file, but when I pull the file back for viewing it appears that all the carriage returns have been removed. A file saved like this....
-- Script : delete_bad_referral.sql
--+
-- 01/10/2011 rjm
--+
-- Return failure code when program does not complete successfully
whenever sqlerror exit failure;
whenever oserror exit failure;
Comes back looking like this:
+-- Script : delete_bad_referral.sql -- -- 01/10/2011 rjm -- -- Return failure code when program does not complete successfully whenever sqlerror exit failure; whenever oserror exit failure; set echo on set feedback on set head off set linesize 500 --select select * FROM sysadm+
Has anyone seen this before? Know how to correct it?

Apologies if I switch gears here. Your last post was helpful and may have helped to resolve the problem with .txt files. But I just returned from a meeting and the customers have refined their requirement so that users can only attach files within the Office suite - ie Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.... So .txt files will not be a problem.
However, I just encountered a problem working with an Excel file as an attachment. I have no problem returning a .docx file - it opens just fine in Word. I can also save a .pdf file and have it open fine using View. But when I attach a .xlsx file, viewing it returns a .zip file! If I click Open, it breaks the file into several directories including _rels, docProps, xl, etc.... and several .xml files. Nothing in the unzipped structure is viewable as an Excel file.
What would be causing this to happen?

Unzip email attachment file

Does OS Xv10.5 have a built in utility for unzipping email attachments? If so how do you use it? My email program is yahoo.

Try the free Stuffit Expander You have the option to set it to automatically unstuff files when you download them or if left still stuffed/zipped then just double click the compressed file to extract it.

Mac Mail attachments as zip

Hi,
When mailing 5 folders containing 4-6 word documents each to a receiver with a PC it turned out that the attachments were received as Zip's. If for some reason one would like to send the attachments unzipped, how would one go about it?
thanks,
pyry

I believe this happens automatically when you attach an entire folder, since there's no way to directly attach a folder to an email message.. If you want just the files attached, add each one individually rather than the whole folder. (Note that you can select and attach multiple files at one time, so you don't actually have to go through the attach process once for each file.)

Sending attachments as icons and not an immediately viewable picture.

Hi folks
How can I send an attachment as a folder +icon + file size etc. At the present time when I attach a photo it shows up as a big photo on the email. I want it to show up UNOPENED as a document etc ie jpeg icon + size etc. How can I change this?
TIA
Wokka

Basically, this function is not controllable by you -- it is the recipients' email client that will elect or not elect to View in Place (also called Inline View). Although you are seeing the attached photo files with View in Place, they are nonetheless true attachments, and many email clients receiving the message will show the Icon and size, and some will both do that, and provide View in Place.
Don't sweat it -- if you don't want to see as you continue to Compose, Control-click on any file that is viewing in place, and choose View as Icon. But this has no influence on how sent.
If you zip, then recipients will be forced to Unzip, will at first not see the icon you are talking about.

Do I have a virus? My windows PC friends cannot open attachments from my Mac.

I'm runing OSX 10.7.4 on an iMac and a Macbbok pro -- both late 2009 vintage. People cannot open my attachments. When I send an email attachment to an email from from Mail 5.2(1278) people using PCs are able to open the emails, but unable to open attachments whether .pdf, .docx, or .doc. I have confirmed that "Always send windows friendly attachmdents" is checked. In addition, the pdfs could not be opened on an iPad (didn't try the Word docs). Do I have a virus? Whether a virus or not... PLEASE help me make it stop!!!

I don't think you have a virus. Probably, somehow the windows recipient is not able to handle the way the attachment is sitting inside the mail message.
Try this: take the attachement, zip it (control-click, Archive) and send the resulting zip file. Once the recipient unzips the file they, hopefully, will be able to see a usable file.
