Get filename of an e-mail attachment from the sender

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a question regarding attachments in a sender mail adapter. I have to detach the attachment and save it on the local file system. That's not the problem, I'm able to swap the payload and save on the filesystem.

The problem is to get the orginal file name of the attachment. I see in the message monitor it is stored in the content-type, eg:

content-type:application/octet-stream;name="filename.csv"

How do I get the "filename.csv", to be able to save the csv file under that name on the file sytem.

Thanks for answering.

Micheal,

No I didn't try it yet, because I didn't know about(bit new on the mail adapter) and where/how to use it.

hi,

have a look then

BTW

just create a simple adapter module and try it - I believe it should work

Hi Michal,

This will work only starting from XI3.0 SP20.

In lower SP levels, the getContentType() method will return only: application/octet-stream

No I mean SP20.

It is planned for April.

The corresponding PI 7.0 SP 12 is planned for May.

Stefan,

Dont Mind my questions, but , wouldnt it be PI 's SP 11? Considering that we are now on SP 10 for PI , next release has to be SP 11 right?

Apologies if i am missing something.

Regards

Bhavesh

[stefan_grube]

Yes, for PI the next SP is 11, but SP 12 corresponds with XI SP 20 and SP 14 corresponds to XI SP 21. SP 11 and SP 13 are intermediate SPs.

Don't ask me why.

Here the schedule:
