Using Adapter-specific attributes in Mail adapter

Question

Hi,
I try to use adapter-specific attributes in my Mail adapter. I set the "Use Adapter-Specific Message Attributes" indicator, but I do not get a result in the mapping and also in the SXMB_MONI the attributes are not visible.
The documentation also refers to Variable Transport Binding indicator:<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm</a>
Could this be the problem? I cannot find this indiciator! Does anyone know where I can find this indicator?
Regards,
Torsten

Hi,
The values for the parameters, set using adapter specific message attributes are available at runtime in the path http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail.
We need to write UDF's that can extract the values from this path.
For Ex:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters() .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    “http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File”,
    “FileName”);
String valueOld = conf.get(key);
if (valueOld != null) {
    String valueNew = valueOld.replaceAll(“input”,”output”);
    conf.put(key, valueNew);
If you check Dynamic configuration in sxmb_moni, you would be able to find the values for all the attributes that have been set in the adapter.
