File Adapter Attachments

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I am trying a simple scenario File -> XI -> File.In this scenario i have to send an attachment also along with the message. I have done with sender file adapter, but the problem is how can i handle the attachments in receiver file adapter. Means i just want to create the attachment on the receiver side with the same name.

But when i activate the scenario only one file is getting created i.e message payload. I can't see the attachment there. Do i need to do any extra settings for this scenario....

Hi,

File adapter attachments are only supported on the sender file adapter, and not on the receiver adapter.

U might need to use an adapter such as mail on ur receiver side, to view ur attachment.

cheers,

Hi Prasanth,

Hi,

>>>Do u mean to say File adapter attachments concept is used only when the receiver is Mail adapter ?????

of course not

many apdater support attachments

(like SOAP, proxies, mail)

but in case of file adapter it only works with

sender adapter

if you want to achive your scenarion

you can create a simple java proxy

in which you will take the payload

and attachments and put them somewhere

(folder etc)

but you need to do a little programming to do that

Hi Michal,

Thanks for the reply,

How can i make use of soap adapter in this case. How can i pass the attachment to the webservice.....

Hi,

very easy:)

all you need to do is to add

"<b>Keep Attachments</b>" check in the SOAP receiver adapter

this way the attachment from your sender file adapter

will be send to the web service (as the attachment)
