XML Attachments

Hello All -
Is it possible to send attachments like PDF/DOC etc with XML in XI?
Let me know if its possible and how?
Thanks in advance,
Gerry

Hi Gerald,
This is possible.
If you want your file adeapter to read contents from a PDF file, check out the folloing blog,
/people/sap.user72/blog/2005/07/31/xi-read-data-from-pdf-file-in-sender-adapter
If you want your file adapter to generate its output into a PDF file, then check the following blog,

Email xml attachments: Problems with charset

Hi all,
I have an email proxy to read emails with xml attachements. In the pipeline i recovered the xml file and covert it to Base64. When i execute it on a windows environment the process works fine with all characters (ó,ò,ñ,Ç, etc..) but if it is executed on a unix enviroment these chars aren't codified rigthly.
Some suggestions, please...
Thanks a lot,
Jordi.

Hi,
No errors in OSB. Yes, i know "Request encoding" field, but doesn't work. I think this only apply to email body but not for xml attachments, i don't know... Yes, the console shows bad chars as well as the log file.
If the xml attachment has not special chars then OSB can process the file, convert to Base64 and send this file to destination system. Then, destion system (TrustedX: to verify digital signature) return ok.
If the xml attachment contains "ñ, ó,etc...." chars then OSB can process the file, convert to Base64 and send this file to TrustedX, but TrustedX return "bad chars" error.
I tried to save the Base64 file and descode this file. The result was a XML file with bad chars instead of special chars...
Do you think someting like this can resolve the problem?: -Duser.language=es -Duser.region=ES -DLANG=es_ES.iso885915@euro -DNLS_LANG=spanish_spain.we8iso8859p15 -DNLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=,. OR -Dfile.encoding=??? --> in the OSB startup file. Am not sure because on windows works without these options....
Thanks for your response....
thanks.....

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?

Process attachments with sender email adapter

Hi @ all,
I have some problems dealing with xml attachments on emails. I configured the email sender adapter by using Michals Blog
<a href="/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step:///people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
Unfortunately the mail header looks different as the one in the blog:
<b>Content-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;name="[email protected]"
Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="MailAttachment-1.bin"
Content-Description: MailAttachment-1</b>
What can I do to make it look like in the blog?
thanks and Regards.
Oliver.

Mail Sender Adapter with multiple sMIME attachments

Hi!
I 'm using XI 3.0 SP 15.
I have problems with my Mail-Sender-Adapter.
The mails, I fetch, contain a certificate and multiple xml-attachments. The xml's represent an IDOC-structure (INVOIC.INVOIC02).
The task is to first check the certificate, and then to send each of the XML attachments separately to an SAP-System.
1) We have twelve partner which use this e-Invoicing interface. How do I administer the certificates and do I have to create for each partner a "Sendervereinbarung"?
2)
The second problem is, that I have multiple payloads which have to be processed separately. How can this be done?
kind regards and thanks a lot for your help
MArtin

As we have multiple xml-attachments, I guess we have a major problem anyway.
I guess Certificate verification in the sebder agreement is done after the Module Processing of the email-adapter isn't it?
Due to the multiple attachments we have to write a customer specific Module for the email-adapter anyway.
I guess the only way is that the module validates the certificate against the J2EE KeyStore and then extracts the various xml attachments to a file share.
A File sender adapter then polls the file share and the sender aggreement / receiver agreement /mapping ... process starts.
The only question is if the file adapter works also without a sender agreement, so that the xml's are stored on the file share
Do you have an idea, if this works? or do you see any alternatives?
thanks alot for your help!!

Adapter Module: Validate an XML with an XSD

Hello all,
I'm developing a PI adapter module (Exchange Infrastructure 3.0) for the Mail Adapter. In this module I need to get each XML attachment and then validate with an XSD schema, for this I'm using the SAX parser.
I successfully retrieved all XML attachments but when I'm trying to use the method setProperty of the SAXParser instance I'm getting an exception, bellow the code snippet.
     private static final String SCHEMA_LANGUAGE = "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaLanguage";
     private static final String SCHEMA_SOURCE   = "http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/properties/schemaSource";
     private static final String XML_SCHEMA      = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
     public boolean isValid(byte[] src, AuditMessageKey amk1){
          SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
          SAXParser sp = null;
          spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
          spf.setValidating(true);
          String[] schemas = new String[MAX_SCHEMAS];
          schemas[0] = getClass().getResource(SCHEMA1).getFile();
          schemas[1] = getClass().getResource(SCHEMA2).getFile();
          schemas[2] = getClass().getResource(SCHEMA3).getFile();
          try {
               sp = spf.newSAXParser();
          catch (Exception e){
               Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk1, AuditLogStatus.ERROR, "MultipleAttachments: Error creating parser.");
               return false;
// HERE IS THE STEP THROWING THE EXCEPTION
          try {
               sp.setProperty(SCHEMA_LANGUAGE, XML_SCHEMA);
          catch (Exception e){
               Audit.addAuditLogEntry(amk1, AuditLogStatus.ERROR, "MultipleAttachments: Error setting schema.");
               return false;
Did Anyone have faced this issue? How can I solve this?
Best regards,
David

Hi David,
we developed a xsd validation with java mapping.
SAP has it's own parser. At the time we developed there was a bad bug in this parser. The parser throwed a fatal error although the xml was valid!
SAP corrected the error. But this is over 1,5 years ago. I recommend a OSS .

Help converting or reading SOAP XML-attachment instead of payload

Hi,
I have to setup a webservice that excepts an xml-file as an attachment and read that xml-file as if it where the main payload of the message.
The messages we receive holds all the data I need in the attachment instead of the data being in the SOAP-body itself. This isnt something I can change since this is a solution provided by amadeus e-travel and I have no chance of changing how they send data to us.
I have searched and searched the forums but havent been able to find a solution(that I understand) to how I can access the xml-file either in a mapping-routine or by simply swapping the payload with the attachment all together.
As of now I have a webservice that is functional and receives the call from the source(amadeus e-travel) without a problem. I can also see the attachment in SXMB_MONI where it looks like a perfect xml-structure. But I have no idea on how to access the attachment so that I can use the data inside it in an abap-proxy in our ECC-system.
As far as I have read on the forums I cannot use the payloadswapbean in the SOAP senderadapter so that option is out. I have seen mention of a java-class for reading attachements in mapping-routines but sadly I'm not much of a Java-programmer and dont have access to one either at the moment. I would need a detailed explanation in order for a java-program to be a viable solution for me.
Is there some trick I have missed here or blog that shows how to read xml-attachments in a soap-message?
Is there any standard Java-code I can use to read the whole xml-structure from the attachment in a mapping-routine?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance ,
Halvor

Option-1:
This might be a crude way, but you can acheive by a 2 step process...
Step1 (Scenario-1) - Receive XML-Msg + Attachment using SOAP Sender adapter. As we have payloadwaapbean module limitation in sender adapter. Let it be a passthru to receiver SOAP adapter. (Don't do any processing in integration engine, like msg mapping or thything). In Rx SOAP adapter,use payloadswapbean to swap XML msg with Payload and resent it to 2nd integration scenario...
Step2(Scenario-2) - As you have the Attachment as main-payload, you can continue ur normal msg processing on it.
Option2:
SOAP messages can also be processed using AXIS-SOAP Adapter.. you can add XI module in it Check it if it might help you...

Reading attachments in PI map

Hi,
I have a scenario where, i have attachment (PDF) are getting attached through Proxy. I need to save these attachments to Live Link Folder.
I have seen some posts here where they have explained the java code used in UDF to read the attachments. I have implemented that. The problem is Message mapping when i test is working fine, no errors. But the operation mapping throws the error. I have checked the "Read Attachments" Flag but still it doesn't work.
Can any body please help me with some blog or steps that explains the steps.
Also i read on SDN that only XML attachments can be read, but that also didn't worked for me.
Any help will be really appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
>>>I have a scenario where, i have attachment (PDF) are getting attached through Proxy. I need to save these attachments to Live Link Folder.
why don't you use swappayload bean to put the PDF into the folder ?

XML attachment in Document Viewer

Hi,
I am having problems with XML attachments with Document Viewer. I already posted a thread in the general application server forum, but thought that there might be interested people in this forum also.
Document Viewer and XML Stylesheet
Sorry for the possible inconvenience of the double post.
Regards,

Hi Karri,
Believe what you are looking at is a direct translation of Open XML Documents (.DOCX) to HTML, enabling access to the information in the Open XML format from any platform with a Web browser i.e, Document viewer in this case.A plug-in for Firefox, IE7 and IE8 is available that allows users to view Open XML documents (.DOCX) within the browser on Windows and Linux platforms.
Trust the below link will aid you resolve this:

Payload Swap bean not working

Hi All,
We are working on PI 7.11. We are trying to retrieve the attachments from the mails and convert them into files. We have enabled Keep Attachments in sender mail adapter. For swapping the payload we used payload swap bean. We referred the below blog

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different.

My macbook pro crashed and the hard drive was replaced. How do I restore my backup pre- 9.6 iphoto library to the 9.6.1 iphoto library? They look completely different. When I look at my backed-up iphoto library folder I see lots of files and folders: ALbumData.xml, Attachments folder, etc. The 9.6.1 iphoto library doesn't appear to be a folder at all. Help!

iPhoto 6 and earlier libraries were regular folders with the kind of files your reporting. With the advent of iPhoto 7 the library folder was changed to a package similar to the application packages but have essentially the same files and folders inside. There's no reason to have access to the inside of the iPhoto Library so Apple changed them to packages.
Do you have a backup copy of the iPhoto Library from before the HD crash. If so restore it to the Pictures folder in your Home folder. If you previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 or earlier download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on your library before trying to open it with iPhoto 9.6.1.

Doc Literal vs. RPC

I'm confused about the best practice for sending attached XML messages. I had always felt that RPC was fine for this and yet I was recently told that Doc Literal is the preferred method that both IBM and Microsoft recommend for sending XML attachments.
To compound the problem it appears that SAAJ allows my RPC model to handle this task quite well. Is this all a canard or is it marketing differences between different companies ?
Inquiring if confused minds want to know.

The major problem in RPC is different company had different serilization method, for exampe, some company may make use of MIME , and the other is DIME. document based avoid this sort of confusion. but RPC is more easily to use.
