Work with attachments

All,
Within the file adapter, it is possible to upload a message (e.g. XML) with attachment (e.g. binary PDF).
But how to work with these attachments in SAP XI?
1. Can the Receiver file adapter convert a message with attachment into 2 files?
2. How to send the main part to 1 destination and the other part to another destination?
3. How to access the main part (xml) and additional parts (pdf) within a business process?
4. Can I remove an attachment from a message in a mapping step?
5. Can I replace the main part (XML) with the attachment (binary PDF) in a mapping step (or elsewhere)?
Kind regards, Guy Crets

Issues working with Attachments in Outlook 2010

I have 2, possibly related, problems with Outlook 2010 and email attachments.
1/ When opening a mail with attachments I cannot drag multiple attachments out to save in a folder at once. the first attachment selected will be saved, but not subsequent ones. Nor can I do a multiple-select and Save As via the right-click menu.
The only way around this I have found is to drag or save each document individually
2/ When opening Excel sheets (Excel 2010) directly from email, the first sheet will open normally. But if I try to open a second sheet, whether from the same email or a different one, the second sheet doesn't open.
The only work-around i have found is to close the first sheet I opened and/or to save the second sheet to disk and then open it explicitly in a new copy of Excel
Can you give me any help in resolving these annoying behaviours?
Many thanks
Tim

Hi Tim,
R1. If we open the email with attachments, on the Message tab, in the
Actions group, click Other Actions, and then select
Save All Attachments, will all the attachment been saved?
R2. Did you get any error message when the second sheet failed to open? Please open one Excel file, click File > Options > Advanced and then scroll down to
General section. Clear the option “Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)” and then check the issue again.
In addition, we can try to run Outlook in safe mode to check the result. Press Windows key + R, type
outlook.exe /safe in the Run dialog and press Enter.
Also try to clear Outlook Secure Temp folder to check the result. See:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/securetemp.htm
Please let me know the result.

Working with attachments

Hi,
I have a requirement where content needs to be checked in along with attachments. I have followed Re: using ZipRenditionManagement and successfully checked in content along with attachment. Now the requirement is to display content along with information about its attachment and provide the end user option to download the attachments separately.
I tried docinfo operation but was not able to figure out how to retrieve attachment information from that (not even the name and number of attachments). Can some one please help with ridc code to get attachment information and to download them?
Regards,
Gobinath

I will copy for you the relevant part from readme.txt from ZipRenditionComponent:
1. The component adds a new action to the doc info page that allows a user to add or edit their current zipped attachments. It also displays the current attachments on the doc info page and lets them perform a download.
Inside the zip file there is a manifest file with the name "manifest.hda". Inside the manifest file there is a result set with the name 'manifest'.
It has the following columns:
extRenditionName -- The name of the attachment (or rendition if doing image conversions). This is the principal identifer used to identify the rendition in API calls.
extRenditionDescription -- A description of the attachment (or rendition).
extRenditionPath -- The path inside the zip file. The value of this is somewhat arbitrary except for the file extension      which is used by the content server to determine the format.
extRenditionOriginalName -- Only used if there is an original separate source file for the attachment. This is the original name of that file (see dOriginalName in normal content server usage).
extRenditionParams -- Comma separated name=value pairs of additional properties (width, height, resolution, etc.).
extRenditionType -- Used to describe functional aspects of the attachment. If the value is "thumbnail", then the attachment is a copy of the content item's thumbnail. If it has the value "web" then it
     says that the attachment (or rendition) is NOT in the zip file but instead is the content item's webviewable.
Also, when this result set is loaded into the content server, the resource include ziprendition_parse_out_properties is used to promote some properties in the extRenditionParams entry into additional result set columns:
extRenditionFileSize -- The size of the attachment file (See property 'filesize').
extRenditionFileType -- The file type (ex: JPEG) (See property 'type').
extRenditionWidth -- Width in pixels (see property 'width'). Only applies to images.
extRenditionHeight -- Height in pixels (see property 'height'). Only applies to images.
extRenditionColours -- Number of colours in image (see property 'colours'). Only applies to images.
extRenditionPixelsPerInchVertical -- The number of pixels per inch vertically (see property 'dpiy'). Only applies for certain types of images value is blank or 0 otherwise (test with <$if toInteger(extRenditionPixelsPerInchVertical)$>)
extRenditionPixelsPerInchHorizontal -- The number of pixels per inch horizontally (see property 'dpix'). Only applies for certain types images, see note for extRenditionPixelsPerInchVertical. Also, note that      extRenditionPixelsPerInchHorizontal tends to have the same value as extRenditionPixelsPerInchVertical so you may want to test to see if the same values are nonzero and equal and decide to present a single
     pixels per inch value.
If the associated property from extRenditionParams is unavailable, the column is still added but is filled with a blank value.
The internal content server script action function "getDocFormats" has been extended to automatically load this manifest result set into the active data binder and add the new columns as described above.
There are some configuration variables that are useful for this component.
NumAdditionalRenditions -- This is a general content server configuratioin variable. The value of this should be at least two. As of 7.5, it is possible with a component to increase the number of distinct different file webviewables beyond two. It should be noted that all the attachments of this component are stored in a single webviewable file so it is possible to use this component with NumAdditionalRenditions set to one, but then you
will lose the ability to have separate web thumbnail images (for quick web server delivery).
ShowEditRenditionPropertiesField -- Turn this on if you want the default user interface to show the value of the extRenditionParams column and allow it to be edited.

Working with attachments using JSP

Hi,
I am a newbie to Oracle BPM and using OBPM 10.3.1.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
(a) Hotmail directly
(b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
(c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
(d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

I'm using OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.5. When I receive mails with attachments which are visible the save button doesn't work. Some contacts have problems opening files sent by me using Mail too. This was never a problem on pre-Intel. A real Mac **** up !

Can you drag and drop the attachments visible in the email to the Desktop OK or does that fail ?
Re the sending: Are these recipients on Mac's or PC's as the file type could be an issue, if on Mac's then try setting the Mail Preferences Composing setting to Plain Text not Rich Text and see if that improves things.

Email with attachments QPAC: setting "From" using process data doesn't work

Hi,
I trying to set the "From" in the Email with attachments QPAC from a process variable, let's call it "mailagent", which is of type xs:string.
So I use a set value QPAC, which sets the "mailagent" variable to "[email protected]". The workflow then continous with the Email QPAC.
Which stalls and throws the following exception:
javax.mail.MessagingException: 501 Syntax error, parameters in command "MAIL FROM:<{$/process_data/@mailagent$}>" unrecognized or missing
Hrm. I thought, I had already used the Email QPAC this way.
Is there some kind of magic to apply to the Email with attachments QPAC in order for it to accept process data in the "From"?
Steve

Yes, I'm sure, it worked for us to. But it obviously no longer does.
Yes, "mailagent" definitely is a variable of type string, though it's of type
xs:string. I'm no longer able to create variables, which don't feature the
xs namespace. Which is quite confusing as I've got absolutely no idea, what the
xs is used for.
We are using LiveCycle Workflow 7.2.1, the Email QPAC is 7.0.2. Is this the latest version?

SOAP Receiver adapter with attachments not working

Hello,
I have a simple synchronous scenario like this; ABAP proxy with attachments to SOAP with attachments.
The SOAP receiver adapter has been configured with the parameters 'Do not Use SOAP envelope' and 'Keep attachments'. We create our own SOAP envelope with custom SOAP headers, so that's the reason for the 'Do not use SOAP envelope' setting.
When we test the scenario with an attachment then we get a timeout from PI. However, when we test the same scenario without any attachment then no errors occur.
The external webservice has also been tested with SOAP UI and it works fine.
Do you have any clues what the problem can be? What are we still missing in the configuration?
We did try with the adapter modules such as PayloadSwapBean and the Message TransformBean, so far without success...
Many thanks.
Roberto

Hi Stefan,
The attachments are not really big, around 150KB.
According to the other party (Oracle Service Bus) no messages with attachments have been received. In fact it seems like those messages never leave the PI server. SOAP requests without attachments are processed successfully.
Thanks
Roberto

With the automatic addition of an update on both home & work computers, attachments went from being identified & opened as appropriate files, even when identified as .doc or .pdf, etc., all become .ashx

Driver to have HP Laserjet C4120A (HP Laserjet 4000n) work with Windows 7

We just put in 28 new Dell OptiPlex 3030 AIO with Windows 7 Professional in a school computer lab - but the tech guy did not install a printer for it to print to because he says our current printer - an HP Laserjet 4000n (C4120A) - is too old and will not work with Windows 7. This is an EXCELLENT printer and has been working for us for a long time and I hate to give it up.
Would someone please direct me to where a driver for this printer that will work with Windows 7 - or will Windows 7 automatically determine what driver is needed and retrieve it from its set of drivers it has with the operating system?
Thank you so much for helping!

Hello,
I've seen this same issue with my printers (other HP printers) whereby the default setting to support the Duplexing hardware was set to 'off'.
A quick method to check this is look at what the setting is for Duplex hardware in the Device Settings tab, and if it's not set, correct it.
Printer Properties:
From the 'Start' orb -> [Devices & Printers] -> right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printer Properties' -> click on 'Device Settings' tab.
You should see a dialog similar to the mine (attached): look for the 'Duplex unit (for 2-sided printing)' and see if it's set to "Not Installed":
--> in either case, click on 'Not installed' and from the dropdown box, select 'Installed'... Click 'OK' to accept the changes and close the dialog.
Printing Preferences:
again, right click on your Printer icon -> select 'Printing Preferences' -> click on 'Advanced' tab.
-->Check to see if there is a 'Duplex Hardware' or '2-sided printing' option in here: mine doesn't show one but thougth I'd mention it nonetheless.
Click on the 'Finishing' tab and select 'Print on both sides'...or simply test print a multi-page document and set those preferences on-the-fly.
Let me know if this helps...

Samsung CLP-315W to wirelessly work with OS 10.8.2?

I know this printer CAN work with my network, it has worked with the current firmware and network printer settings, however it doesn't want to connect recently. Can someone please explain how best to set up a stable static network connection with the printer? Here's what's happened thus far. I have uninstalled the smart panel and the driver and reinstalled it fresh with the newest ones. Both are installed. When I plug in a USB I get a modern app dialog that allows me to access the settings, when I connect it via a wired ethernet connection I can access the Sync Thru setup dialog through any web browser. Other websites say that if I connect via either of those methods and change the setup to Static IP, switch the address, save it and then disconnect the blue light wireless capability should turn on within 20 seconds. The problem is it does not.
Please help me! You would be a hero to many people who got suckered into purchasing this wonderful printer with the WORST customer support ever.
OK here's all the details.
Computer - MacBook Pro Mid 2012 2.6GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM, OS X 10.8.2
Network - Netgear WNDR3700 - IP 192.168.1.1

Please help and thank you!

Thank you for your reply.
The PDF I am having trouble with when using Safari is a "Weight Workout" that www.activtrax.com automatically creates as an URL and automatically opens using Reader. When I used Adobe Reader 10.1.5, the print symbol showed up. However, when I installed Reader version 11.0.01, only a black screen appeared and no print symbol showed up when I moved my mouse cursor. So, I went back to using version 10.1.5.
ActivTrax states "Your default pdf viewing program will open and display the Workout form." Someone suggested making Preview my default PDF viewing program? Do you know how to do this? If I could make Preview my default PDF viewing program, would doing so prevent me from accessing materials from websites that say that you must have Reader installed to view the item?
In additon, when I open email PDF email attachments, they open in Preview and not Reader. But PDFs that websites create automatically open in Reader.
Thanks for your assistance!

Why do I have trouble with attachments being stripped when sending email via Earthlink Webmail using Firefox?

I recently built a new computer running Win 8.1. However, I have had trouble sending and receiving attachments with Earthlink Webmail on Firefox. I sometimes cannot see attachments to emails I receive, although the size of the file indicates they are there. When I try to send an email with attachments, the browser contacts Earthlink, and then the message reappears, but the attachments have been stripped. If I hit Send again, the message goes, but without the attachments. If I re-attach the attachments and hit send, they are again stripped. I contacted Earthlink support, and they told me it is a problem with Firefox. I then tried IE and was able to send the attachments without a problem.
I would really appreciate any help as Firefox is my browser of choice.

1. Not sure how to send an email in a private browsing window... I use Earthlink Web Mail and I cannot find anything on that site about private browsing window.
2. Have not tried this yet, but will when I get a chance.
3. Not sure. My old computer ran XP. Never had the problem with it. Right now, it is not connected to the internet, so can't check it.
4. I neglected to mention... I did try IE and it worked fine.
I do have Norton 360 installed, but it was not a problem on the XP machine.
Thanks for your response. I have been so busy lately that I just now picked up your response. I have not had time t to try anything else.
As far as the file type, I was trying to send pdf files. Have not tried other file types.
Earthlink limits messages (and attachments) to 20 MB. The files were less than 3 MB.

How to Create a Dynamic http address that opens the Explorer Window for a List Item When a Button Is Clicked--Currently Trying to Make this Work with Javascript

I have created a button (via Content Editor) that uses JavaScript to open the Attachments folder of a list item in the Explorer Window in SharePoint 2010. The purpose is to have drag and drop functionality for each list item, having multiple attachments.
The button works but opens the "Attachments" folder containing all of the other folders for each list item (one folder per item). It seems that when you add an attachment to a list item, SharePoint numbers the folder based on the item's ID. What
I'm trying to do is take the JavaScript I have and have it run when a button is clicked in a custom form. When it runs, I'm trying to get it to open the "specific" folder for the list item. I have had success creating a hyperlink in the list that
does this; however, the link WILL NOT work until I use the Content Editor created button that runs JavaScript, that prompts me to click OK to my profile certificate, and then opens the Attachment folder. After that occurs, I can use my hyperlinks without issue
because I'm no longer prompted to click OK for my cert.
So I'm trying to take the JavaScript I have and place it in a list item form (custom form) and have it run when a form button is clicked. The problem is I have very little knowledge of JavaScript (did I mention little?) and
"don't know how to take the "http:" address I have in the script and append to it the list item ID, according to the record I have open."
So that for any record I open, the script will grab the corresponding record ID (or list item ID) and append it.
Here's the script I'm working with (which I didn't create but am grateful for):
<style>
.httpFolder {behavior:url(#default#httpFolder);}
</style>
<script text = "javascript">
function fnOpenFolderView(){
oDAV.navigateFrame("https://server/collection/site/subsite/Lists/Sublist/Attachments","_self");
</script>
<div id = "oDAV" class = "httpFolder"/>
<input type = "button" value = "Open Attachment Folder" onclick = "fnOpenFolderView()"/>
The above script, in the Content Editor, creates a button that opens the Attachments folder for the corresponding SharePoint list.

Hello Thriggle,
Thank you for pointing that out. I appended your "GetUrlKeyValue" to the end and it worked. That said, I noticed it doesn't run as smoothly as when I simply click on the Content Editor button I created that resides on the SharePoint List
ASPX page (not the form). The Content Editor button has the same code, minus the "GetUrlKeyValue". I click it; I get prompted to choose my cert; it opens right up.
Now go to the ASPX Display form where I dump the code in a table cell. Button appears in cell; I click it; wait; wait; I get prompted for cert; it opens. Do I need some sort of "throttle" for the JavaScript? For instance, I thought before running
JavaScript, you reference the library first. This code doesn't do that. I'm wondering if there's something more I need to make this run smoothly. Thank you both for getting me this far.

Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .
