Attachment Handling in SAP PI Sender Mail Adapter

[senthilnathan_natarajan2]

Hello Guys,

I have a Production interface of Sender Email Adapter reading an attachement with a specific name(using the payloadswap bean).

However,Off late, I also see a lot of junk mails without attachment being picked up by the adapter and failing in the integration engine.

Is there a way by which I can make the mail adapter to process ONLY mails that contain a valid attachment with the name xyz.xml  and ignore junk mails without attachment?

Hi,

No straight forward options, to my knowledge. you may need to get the attachment name, populate in dynamic header and then probably sort it out.

http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Adapter+Module+PI+7.0+Get+Attachment+Name

you can think about, setting rules in the mailbox, for ex. moving the right mails with attachments to another folder and pick & send them to PI using the present sender mail adapter setup, probably simpler.

Good luck

Hi Senthil

You can write an Java Mapping or adapter module to read the attachment name. Then put the below conditions

if name =  xyz.xml 

then perform the exact task

else 

generate an empty message.

In your receiver adapter , choose the option do not create empty message. In this way you can ignore the error but only drawback will be it will increase the message count in PI.

Hi Senthilnathan,

Probably you can create a separate folder and create a rule in your mail box to redirect all the required mails to be processed should be moved to that folder.

And in the channel u can mention the folder name.

thanks and regards,

Hi,

Could you use receiver determination and conditions (Context Object) to check if attachment is named correctly?

Here's more help about this.
