XI Mail Adapter: Sending an XML attachment

Hi
I want to send an xml attachment using the XI Mail adapter. I have configured the adapter correctly and am currently receiving the email message.
My issue is that my attachment has a .txt extention and I want it to have a .xml extn.
I have seen a variety of web blogs around but none of these have helped.
I have also changed my configuration from XIPAYLOAD to XIALL and still cannot get my payload message as a .xml attachment.
When I config my adapter to use XIALL i get 2 attachments, a SOAP.xml and the my payload wiht the filename:
[email protected]
When I use XIPAYLOAD, with the keep attachment option ticked, I get an attachment with a .txt extn.
I am convinced there must be a J2EE setting or maybe a ABAP config paramter that I need to update to get the .xml extn.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Yackeen,
You can use localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean
You have to set the parameter :
Transform.ContentDisposition as
attachment;filename=myFileName.xml>

XI Mail Adapter: sending emails with attachment with help of java mapping

Hi ,
On trying out the scenerio mentioned in the blog, using the java mapping provided
"XI Mail Adapter: An approach for sending emails with attachment with help of Java mapping
The scenerio works just fine.
But the payload as the content of the attachment is not getting generated in proper XML format.
I suppose it's because of the replace special characters code part..
Can anyone help me state the modification required in the code.
Thanks!

Faria Mithani

It might be a codepage issue. Is your original payload UTF-8?

Sender mail adapter sending xml attachment comes with .bin

Hi all,
I have the following scenario: Sender Mail >> RFC
As I can receive multiples attachments I´m using payload swap bean and adapter module to get all attachments together in the first attachment.
In most cases is working very well, but in some cases the xml attachment is coming as a ".bin".
The same mail with this wrong format, when it´s been forwarded, comes with the right xml file so I can figure that is the mail format sent by vendor.
I tried to simulate this error myself and I could observe that when I change the message format from html to plain text in my outlook I get the same error, the attachments comes as .bin
Does anyone know how can I receive those mails in the right format?
Thanks for your help!
Vanessa

Hi Ravi, thanks for your help.
I have configured:
TRANSFORM > swap.keyName > Content-Disposition
TRANSFORM > swap.keyName > Content-Description
TRANSFORM > swap.keyName > attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.xml"
TRANSFORM > swap.keyName > MailAttachment-1
When the mail comes as html format is working fine, but not working when comes as plain text.
Any Idea?
Regards
Vanessa

Sender mail adapter - filter emails by attachment?

Dear experts,
I have a sender mail adapter that picks an XSL (EXCEL) attachment from an incoming email and converts it (with a custom adapter module) to XML.
But now how can I make the adapter only process emails with XLS - attachments? In that Inbox I also have emails with HTML-attachments for example. And now my adapter also wants to process those messages.
In my adapter module that makes XLS to XML I see an exception in RWB but the message still gets through to SXMB_MONI where it gets stuck with a red flag.
Can I somehow tell the adapter to only process emails with XLS attachments?
Or can I stop the processing in the adapter module that converts XLS to XML?
Thank you for any input or ideas on this!
Best regards,
Peter
PS: I am using this code to convert XLS to XML:

Hello ChizzT,
Thank you for your idea. I went with this one and it worked.

Mail Adapter Send Mail with Attachment

Hi all,
I'm doing some tests on XI and implemented a little scenario, that send Mails.
So this works fine, but I want to have the content as the content of the mail (no prob) and a attachment with a little more information for the user in a plain text file.
I tried to code it with content-type multipart and all these stuff, but didn't come to a solution.
Some one solved such a scenario already and can help?
I also read some thread on SDN, but no solution. Perhaps its to simple
Thanx
regards
Olli

Oliver,
We have found the solution for you.
You should configure the mail adapter with 'use the mail adpater' and 'keep attachments'.
Create an XML file conform the XML structure provide by SAP
The mail package should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ns:MT_Mail_Sent xmlns:xi="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
 <xi:Mail>
 <Subject>Item</Subject>
 <From>[email protected]</From>
 <To>[email protected]</To>
 <Content_Type>multipart/mixed; boundary="AaBb--984dfgeSSd3532"</Content_Type>
 <Content_Disposition>attachment</Content_Disposition>
 <Content>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain
Hello, this is sample data.
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain;name="CSV_data.csv"
Order number;Item number;description<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
 <xsl:for-each select="Article_line">
 <xsl:value-of select="Ord_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Item_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Description<xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:for-each>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
Content-Type: text/plain;name="TXT_data.txt"
Order number;Item number;description<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
 <xsl:for-each select="Article_line">
 <xsl:value-of select="Ord_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Item_nmbr"/>;<xsl:value-of select="Description<xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:for-each>
AaBb984dfgeSSd3532
 </Content>
 </xi:Mail>
</ns:MT_Mail_Sent>
In the above example you should have some content and 2 attachments (1 csv file and 1 txt file).
After each break (AaBb984dfgeSSd3532) specify again the 'Content-Type'.
Good luck
Regards
Ron

Receiver Mail Adapter message with PDF attachment

Hi.
We are trying to generate emails from the mail adapter that includes the plain text in the body of the resulting email and an attached PDF file. We receive the following structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:newMailRequest_MT xmlns:ns0="http:/pdk/sap/TorstenTest">
 <Sender/>
 <Receiver/>
 <BodyContent/>
 <Subject/>
 <Attachment/>
</ns0:newMailRequest_MT>
I have set up an interface and mail adapter to be able to produce emails with plain text in the body. I used SAP note 748024 for this.
So right now I can make XI send emails with dynamic mail addresses. My problem lies in sending attached files with the mails as well.
I have read most of the threads in here, but none of them seem to answer just how to include the attachment. Which field in the 'Mail' message type is used for the attachment??
What needs to be added to the communication channel and adapter for it to include attachments, while the body of the mail still keeps the plain text message??

hi
I have used the following links to send the file as an attachement and as payload.

Receiver Mail Adapter sending Attatchments to dynamic recipients

Hi,
I am using a Receiver Email Communication Channel. I need to be able to send emails to dynamically assigned recipients. I know I need to use the 'Use Mail Package' option. I am doing this and it is working. However, I also need to attatch the payload to the email. This will work by not specifying the 'Use Mail Package' option. I need to do both.
I can send an email with an attatchment. But the content of this attachment has been generated by a Message Mapping. I want the payload on the attchment.
Thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,
when you use the Mail Package format and assign your payload to the <Content> Element, it should be send as an attachement.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<p2:Mail xmlns:p2="http://sap.com/xi/XI/Mail/30">
<Subject>My Mail</Subject>
<From>[email protected]</From>
<To>[email protected]</To>
<Content_Type>text/xml;name="MyContent"</Content_Type>
<Content>...</Content>
</p2:Mail>
Hope this helps

Configuring the mail adapter Sender

Hi Guys, hope you are fine.
I have a doubt: is it possible to configure, how many emails the sender mail adapter takes per polling?
I have an inbox with more than 300 emails and I have a sender mail adapter configured with a 10 minutes pooling and I need to limit the number of messages or, just to have an ideia about the number of messages it takes. Does it depends of the machine or something like that?
Any kind of help is welcome... =)
Thank you
Luciana Rossan

Hi Luciana,
Please refer to the FetchLimit option, described in SAP Help for sender mail adapter, it matches your requirement perfectly:
IMail.FetchLimit
You can set this additional parameter to restrict the number of mails fetched by sender mail adapter in one polling interval.
Sometimes the mailbox configured for the sender mail adapter contains large number of unread mails, which exceeds the average expected number of mails in one polling interval. In such a case, processing of all the unread mails in the same polling interval by sender mail adapter degrades the system performance. To avoid this, set value of this parameter to the maximum number of mails to be fetched and processed in one polling interval. The remaining mails exceeding the limit would be processed in the next polling interval.
Please refer to the help itself if further details required:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi711/helpdata/EN/48/3276dba3af58d8e10000000a421937/content.htm

Export a short clip from FCE to mail and send as Email attachment

I have been trying to export short clips from FCE to mail. I have been getting as far as saving it as an attachment to an Email.
I have not been able to successfully deliver it to somebody. Is that a problem with my server or are my settings or the format I am using to send it incorrect ? What are the best and safest settings to choose from so the email goes through ?
I have send video clips directly from Quicktime files. Its working well and fast with no delivery problems. What am I doing wrong with FCE exports to mail ?
G4 PowreBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G4 PowreBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

well it may not be how your exportinging it. what you need to find out is how big of a file will you service provider let you send. your file may be over the limit, so all you need to do is compress it even smaller. when i send a clip i don't use the mail setting i just compress it my self as small as i can. my provider will only let me send up to 10Mb files only.

Mail Adapter sending

Hello @all,
ich get EMails from the sender channel. the relevant data are contains in the content TAG. How can i separated the content to an another XML-structure and to the mapping interface.
best regards

Hi Anton,
I think this can be done without Java or XSLT mapping,
Make occurence of target message 0......unbounded in message mapping.
and duplicate Messge1 node.
Now in first Message1 do the normal mapping
In Second Message1 (Duplicated) map the Content of source to content of target and use Adavanced interface determination in ID.
This will create two XML file ,One with Normal Data and other with only content

Sender Mail adapter encounters MalformedInputException

I have a sender mail adapter that processes the attached .csv file. All is working fine. I use FCC in module to convert the attachment and pass to an IDOC adapter for processing in SAP system.
My problem is sometimes the sender mail CC fails with ...........
exception caught during processing mail message[1]; com.sap.aii.af.mp.module.ModuleException: Transform: failed to execute the transformation: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException caused by: com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.trans.TransformException: Error converting Message: 'sun.io.MalformedInputException'; nested exception caused by: sun.io.MalformedInputException
It only fails with some files. At the moment when we test we FORWARD the email to our email account. If I detach the failed email attachment and attach it to a NEW email it will then work.
So why does it not work when forwarding emails? But it works when I attach the same file to a new email and send?
Other threads for this error seem to point to encoding. But how do I know which to use. I currently use the following in my module config:
Transfer.ContentType     application/octet-stream;charset="ISO-8859-1"

I have this in my configuration:
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean   on local
TRANSFORM
