Content conversion in receiver mail adapter?

[Former Member]

Hi,

We need to send list of invoices from SAP to 3rd party as excel file (TEST.xls) attachment. Can we do this without xslt or java mapping?

Can we use MessageTransformBean in receiver mail adapter to convert XML to .xls file? What are the Module Configuration Parameters we should use?

Regards,

Hi N@v!n,

I dont think so, at least not without programming

Can we use MessageTransformBean in receiver mail adapter to convert XML to .xls file? 

It converts to csv (flat files). You need mapping in addition. Please have a look to

Excel Files - How to handle them in SAP XI/PI (The Alternatives)

What are the Module Configuration Parameters we should use?

Standard Adapter Framework modules [AF_Modules] in PI 7.1 –Part 2

Without mapping not possible.

Thanks Udo.

Raja - So it has to be done only either in xslt mapping or java mapping, right?

[Former Member]

xslt mapping would be easier.

Yes.

A argument for xsl can be that it is very easy to learn, java requires more efforts but has more power (possibilities).
