Hello,

Please help me in understanding how to use POP3 adapter as I am using it for the first time. I have to receive the email using POP3 and send the name of the attachment  in the email as the filename through SFTP adapter. Please suggest me if can do it in pipeline component, If yes then how.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ranjana

POP3 configuration is easy one ,so dont need to worry . You can go through the walkthrough to create POP3 receive location

Walkthrough: Creating a BizTalk Application That Uses the POP3 Adapter

Then go with POP3 Receive location configuration

Hi Ranjana,

The scenario you were asking

Once after successfully receiving the messages, from the Message context you can read file name using pipeline component.

Getting the properties of a file attached to an email message in pipeline components

You read by part name or actual file name.

public void Disassemble(Microsoft.BizTalk.Component.Interop.IPipelineContext pc, Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBaseMessage inmsg)
{
var partName = string.Empty;
// we start from index 1 because index zero contains the body of the message
// which we are not interested
for (int i = 1; i < inmsg.PartCount; i++)
{
var currentPart = inmsg.GetPartByIndex(i, out partName);
var attachmentFileName = currentPart.PartProperties.Read("FileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/mime-properties");
var outMsg = pc.GetMessageFactory().CreateMessage();
outMsg.AddPart("Body", pc.GetMessageFactory().CreateMessagePart(), true);
outMsg.Context = PipelineUtil.CloneMessageContext(inmsg.Context);
outMsg.Context.Write("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties", attachmentFileName);
_msgs.Enqueue(outMsg);
}
}

public void Disassemble(Microsoft.BizTalk.Component.Interop.IPipelineContext pc, Microsoft.BizTalk.Message.Interop.IBaseMessage inmsg)
{
var partName = string.Empty;
// we start from index 1 because index zero contains the body of the message
// which we are not interested
for (int i = 1; i < inmsg.PartCount; i++)
{
var currentPart = inmsg.GetPartByIndex(i, out partName);
var outMsg = pc.GetMessageFactory().CreateMessage();
outMsg.AddPart("Body", pc.GetMessageFactory().CreateMessagePart(), true);

outMsg.Context.Write("ReceivedFileName", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/BizTalk/2003/file-properties", partName);
_msgs.Enqueue(outMsg);

Refer below threads for issues and resolutions.

Since you are updating the file name to context in SFTP send port you should use below macro,

Hi Vikas,

I tried the link:BizTalk Server: How to Extract Email Attachments By Pipeline which you provided but while testing I found out that the GetNext method is returning me a null value.

I even tried the code at:http://blogs.4ward.it/getting-the-properties-of-a-file-attached-to-an-email-message-in-pipeline-components/

This to returns a null value at GetNext Method.

Please help.

Regards,

Ranjana

Hi Ranjana,

Please follow the below steps to find the reason behind.

- Check the part by index in your receive location POP3 adapter property.

- Add some System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("DisplayName","Variable"); around Disassemble, GetNext methods.

- Ensure that it is entering for loop and its adding message to queue, count should be more than 1 in GetNext.

Let me know if you face any issues after this steps.

Hi Ranjana,

I Agree there is a bug in that code, have fixed that now with the below code.

Please replace the below lines code with this.

string attachmentContent = Encoding.Default.GetString(ms.ToArray());

MemoryStream attachmentStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(attachmentContent));

Have tested the 3 scenarios.

- Text file

- XML file

- Excel File

Let us know if you face any issue again.
