Mail Adapter (without attachment)

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am using PI 7.31 (single stack) with AAE. Please can you let me know if I can use the mail adapter to send an e-mail without any attachment.

At present, we have 2 options: XIALL and XIPAYLOAD, and in both options mail adapter sends the payload and/or soap message.

The requirement is just to send a (notification) mail without any attachment.

Kind Regards,

MM.

I raised this blog, and the question is still unanswered.

Hi Murli

By default the mail adapter does not send the data as attachment. You have to choose the option 'keep attachment' in the mail adapter to send  payload data as attachment.

So use option 'XIPAYLOAD' and do not check the 'keep attachment' option. In this case the payload of the PI message will be sent as the content of the email but not as attachment.

Dear Indrajit,

Nice to see you here.

I have tried all these optons. The 'keep attachment' is unchecked, and I am getting the payload attachment in email. The actual requirement is to get a mail notification without attachment, without the payload in mail body. Just a mail with subject.

Is this possible?

Hello,

Use Message Transform bean module with below parameter and then check?

Tranform.ContentDisposition --- inline

Thanks Amit, but the requirement is to get a mail notification without attachment, without the payload in mail body. Just a mail with subject.

I tried the above bean, but in vain.

Hello,

Tell me one thing, the attachment which is coming in mail adapter is the source message becoz u are doing pass through scenario just for sending notification? right?

I think u can write a custom AM which will suppress the message which is getting transferred to receiver mail adapter + in mail adapter hardcode subject/maild id etc. and then check?

Code:
