Attachment Name in Content Type

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am doing a scenario where I receive messages from ABAP - SRM system through proxy(which isXI sender adapter) . The message contains set of attachments as well . I have certain manipulations to do before sending the attachments to the receiver system which is a third party . The attachments are taken into one of the fields of the target message as base encoded string and sent to the third party. For certain manipulations I need the attachment names . I tried to get the attachment name from runtime by using the method getContentType but it doesnt solve my purpose. But is there a way I can put in the attachment name in content type so that I can get the attachment name using getContentType method.

I am dealing with a scenario where in I will be strictly using ABAP stack from the sender side ( no java adapters) .

Can anyone guide me in this case as I am stuck with no ideas .

Hello Nishant,

You can acccess names, contents and encoding of the attachments within a message mapping via the Global Container Object

of the Message Mapping API (Check out the mehtod "getInputAttachments() " of global Container in the official SAP Javadoc: http://help.sap.com/javadocs/pi/SP3/xpi/index.html).e.

Hi Simon,

This particular method we have made use of and it ideally returns the attachment as a whole not the attachment name , we are looking to access only the attachment name .

Hi,

Yes i guess you can only fetch content Id from that API. In many cases thats sufficient as sending

Applications (e.g. via the SOAP Adapter) will store the name of the attachment in this http field, too.

It's different in your case?

With best regards
