Using attachments

I have tried finding info re how to send attachments...have tried clicking "paperclip" icon, can't seem to find any way to send attachments.

zinger2, if you are using Mac OS X 10.2.x you might want to post in the Panther or earlier discussion to get help with Mail in Jaguar.

Using Attachments in the Email Adapter

Hi,
I'm using an email adapter(Sender - XIPayload) to send message to XI. It was working fine when my mail content was the XML messsage. But now i have to use the content of an attachment file to do the mapping. The attachment is an XML file. I have checked the Keep attachments option and now i can see that the payload contains two sections. One is the mail content and the attachment content. But the mapping fails. How can i specify that the content of the attachment is to be used for mapping? Can somebody give some inputs on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,
To use attachments in mail adapter, just do the following things:
- Set the Keep Attachments indicator.
- And you use the PayloadSwapBean module to swap the application payload with one of the attachments.
Please also go thru the following links:

Using Attachments in Accounts Payable

Requesting your opinion on using "attachments"
Do you use the attachments feature in the Accounts Payable module? We are trying to create a Pro/Con list of using this function and would like to get the input from other Oracle users.
Thanks
Pam

I assume you are talking about invoices as attachments.
We use AP attachments to store scanned copies of invoices.
Depending on your volume, you may want to store them on a different server (with inexpensive / slow disks) and simply put a url as an attachment. This way, you are not tying up the EBS disk-space. It also means that your cloning / backup process does not get slower as you attach more scanned copies.
The other option is 3rd party tool such as open-text. That does a lot more than just storing scans. It automates the data-entry of the invoices too.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Using attachments with javamail

Hi
I wonder if anyone could help me. Is is possible to send an (oracle)blob as an attachment using javamail? How would I go about doing this? Thanks in advance

You can attach arbitrary binary data to an email sent through javamail. How the recipient interprets that data depends on the mime type and on their email client. I think a mime type of application/octet-stream will result in a binary file for which the only option is saving to disk.
Below are code snippets from part of a program in which I deal with attachments. They are far from complete, but show all the important method calls.
import javax.mail.*;
import javax.mail.internet.*;
attachment = (NotifyInterface.Attachment)allData.getObject();
headers = new InternetHeaders();
headers.addHeader("Content-Type", attachment.getMimeType());
encodedData = base64Encode(attachment.getData());
mbpAttachment=new MimeBodyPart(headers, encodedData);
mbpAttachment.setFileName(attachment.getFileName());
mbpAttachment.setDisposition(MimeMessage.ATTACHMENT);
mbpAttachment.setHeader("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "base64");
byte[] base64Encode(byte[] rawData) throws MessagingException {
ByteArrayOutputStream bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
OutputStream out = MimeUtility.encode(bout, "base64");
try {
out.write(rawData);
out.close();
} catch(IOException e) {
throw (MessagingException)new MessagingException("Error encoding attachment").initCause(e);
return bout.toByteArray();
public static class Attachment implements Serializable {
String fileName;
String mimeType;
byte[] data;
public Attachment(String fileName, byte[] data, String mimeType) {
this.fileName = fileName;
this.data = data;
this.mimeType = mimeType;
public String getFileName() {
return fileName;
public String getMimeType() {
return mimeType;
public byte[] getData() {
return data;
public String toString() {
return "Attachment of type "+mimeType;

Webservice in ABAP using Attachments

Hi,
as far is I was able to find similar questions it seems that Abap is not supporting attachments for webservices (at least not for 6.20 or 6.40).
I want to send a file (e.g. Pdf, Wrd) with a webservice but when I try to create a rfc enabled function i am not allowed to use a STRING or XSTRING in a table parameter. I need to have a table because there could more than one files to send.
Is there a better way to do that than cutting the file into a char type with a defined lenght and fill a table and rebuild it on the receiver side?
Thanks,
Christoph

Rather than using a TABLES parameter, use IMPORTING / EXPORTNIG / CHANGING parameters using a table type.
You can then use type STRINGTAB - a table of strings.

Text content lost when using attachments. iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1)

When I want to add pictures to an email attachment in my iPhone 4, I usually use the Gallery App which gives me the option of sharing them in an email. When the pictures are added to the email, they are added in the body of the email. You have the option of adding text above, between, or below any pictures that you have added. However, when the email is sent and delivered to the recipient, all text between and below any pictures has been stipped away! Very Frustrating!
Am I doing something wrong or is this just a massive bug?

Lawrence,
Thanks for your reply. Good tip, I will check each app.
To clarify the problem I am having, I use the app named DataMan to monitor my cellular data usage, and it has a screen where it can show on an hour by hour basis which app is using data. I am seeing "Push Service" listed as using 1-5 megabytes every once in a while. I have a 200 MB data plan and this is very adequate for my own usage which is light (no streaming). I have noticed my data usage is higher than ever and the culprit appears to be the Push Service. I have actually reduced my own usage.
Thanks again,
Maurice

Using Attachments object

Hi,
I want to use the Attachments2 object and the Attachments2_Lines object but I can¡¦t get it to work properly.
I succeeded to create the first Attachement file but I can¡¦t add an other one :
SAPbobsCOM.Attachments2 oAttachments2;
SAPbobsCOM.Attachments2_Lines oAttachments2_Lines;
oAttachments2.GetByKey(System.Convert.ToInt32(CodeEBS_ATTF));
oAttachments2_Lines = oAttachments2.Lines;
oAttachments2_Lines.Add();
oAttachments2_Lines.SetCurrentLine(oAttachments2_Lines.Count - 1);
oAttachments2_Lines.FileExtension = ext;
oAttachments2_Lines.FileName = file;
oAttachments2_Lines.SourcePath = path;
oAttachments2.Update();
error : -10 : file already exists
Does anybody know how to add several Attachement Lines ?
Is it possible to remove an attachement file (Line) ?
Thank You.

Found it !
I added this line :
oAttachments2_Lines.Override = SAPbobsCOM.BoYesNoEnum.tYES;

Using Attachments with Mail

When I am attaching a JPEG or PDF, the whole picture displays.
Can this be changed so that just the file is attached??
Also - I didn't see a section for mail questions, so if this should be posted elsewhere please let me know.
Thanx,
FWW

Whether the file is displayed or not is specific to the email client. The file is always attached.
The mail sections are specific to the OS that you are using, for example if you are using OS 10.4 you would find it at:
Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger > Mail & Address Book - Tiger

#ATTACHMENTS handler in workflow notification for multiple attachments

I would like to attach multiple documents to a workflow notification. The number of attachments are not known at design time.
I see that #ATTACHMENTS handler is used for purpose, but I am not clear how to use it with PLSQLBLOB usage.
How to return multiple documents to the #ATTACHMENTS special handler using PLSQLBLOB?
Created a message attribute of Type=Document and gave internal name as #ATTACHMENTS. Now time to set a PLSQLBLOB function, but to attach multiple documents. Not sure how ....
Note, I do seem some examples with FND:entity usage which shows attachments fine in the worklist, but the attachments are not shown in the email when using workflow mailer due to limitations with FND usage. Using PLSQLBLOB Document, I'm able to show attachments in both worklist and email, but each document attribute can handle only one attachment file. The number of attachments are not known at design time. I would like to use #ATTACHMENTS handler but for PLSQLBLOB usage.
Can some throw more light on #ATTACHMENTS tag with PLSQLBLOB usage for multiple attachments?
Thanks!

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
Be well...

How to add attachments in the workspace?

I have designed a process in which user will will initiate a task from the workspace.He will attach a file widin the workspace and next level user will view.this is working fine as i have created one process variable to stor the task attachments.My problem is that the second level user ie the assign task user is unable to add the attachment when the form comes to c his to do list.He is able to view the attachments added by the initial user.when the assign task user tries to add attachments the attachemnt list count is getting added but the attachments r not added.Can anyone tell me the solution?

Hi,
    You can add attachments to work item from workspace using attachments.
     If attachments tab is not visible in workspace you can modify your workflow to show attachments tab.
     Follow these steps to enable attachments tab,
      1) Open your workflow definition and edit the properties for Assign Task step.
      2) Select Attachments and Notes section and check Show Attachment Window
      3) Map Output attachments field to a varible of type List ( sub type documents ) to make added attachments from workspace available to workflow.

Vik
