XI and SAPConnect

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our business scenario is as follows. R/3 will send a PO as an email with a pdf attachment using SAPConnect to XI. XI would have to read the MIME header information and send it to a fax server. The Fax server will send back a confirmation email to XI with a success code which should be updated in R/3 using RFC SX_OBJECT_STATUS_RECEIVE.

I looked at some of the blogs involving SAPConnect on the forum, but that did not help.

Thank you all in advance.

Tarun.

Hi Michal,

We have a messageId in the MIME header of the email which will be used when XI gets a confirmation email with status code to update R/3. Xi needs to retrieve message ID out of MIME header of email and store the message ID, PO, and timestamp.

I am not sure of the steps involving Send mail adapter trying to receive the email from sapconnect thru MS exchange server to XI. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Tarun.

Hi,

Please do go thru this link before you actually configure the sender mail adapter. It should give you a fairly good idea.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6b/4493404f673028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

to configure the receiver mail adapter, look at this link below.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6b/4493404f673028e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm

I would suggest that you go through these to know how to configure your sender mail adapter,

/people/prasad.ulagappan2/blog/2005/06/07/mail-adapter-scenarios-150-sap-exchange-infrastructure

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step

Also, to know the various parameters of a sender mail adapter, just go through this link,

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c093409c663228e10000000a1550b0/content.htm

Check your mail adapter configuration against these details. Also, check if the mail server you are trying to access is running.

Also go thru this pdf to make yourself more comfortable with mail adapters.

hi,

I'm not sure about the mime header access

in the mail adapter but for sure you'd have

to write a small adapter module (for the mail adapter)

in order to do that

>>>>I am not sure of the steps involving Send mail adapter trying to receive the email from sapconnect thru MS exchange server to XI

sapconnect doesn't matter in this case you only configure MS exchange and XI connectivity - and this is standard

for the sender mail apdater in XI

(the only thing is this mime header like I said before)

michal

Michal,

The mime header access to capture the message Id is something I am not familiar with either. You are saying that we can customize the exsisting mail adapter? I can give you more details about the business need if you can email me your personal email id.

Thank you Thomas for sending out all the links to blogs connected to mail adapter.

Thanks,

Tarun.
