How to drop/delete attachment(s) from CPI message

[rajesh_baldha]

Dear Experts,

We have a requirement in CPI where we have to send file attachment with SOAP request.

but after that attachment processing done we need to delete that attachment from message object, because it cause an error at next process step while I try to call SFDC SOAP service to upsert/create request.

Attachment is also going with SFDC call which must not be happened.

Even Router and Parallel Processing not working to drop attachment.

Can anyone please help here.

Thanks in Advance

Regards,

Rajesh

Thanks Morten,

I have applied this code in my groovy script, but attachment still not getting deleted.

Target SOAP adapter is still getting same attachment file and throws an error and exception sub-process catch this error.

While sending alert mail of exception, I am receiving mail with the same attachment file.

Regards,

Rajesh

Hi Rajesh

I've deleted my previous answer, which was almost correct 🙂 I had half of the solution, and the always brilliant ilya.stepanov had the other half. The following code works:

import com.sap.gateway.ip.core.customdev.util.Message

def Message processData(Message message) {
    message.getAttachments().clear()
    message.getAttachmentWrapperObjects().clear()
    return message
}

My first solution only cleared the attachments Map (the first line of the processData method). This would work in Apache Camel, which is Cloud Integration's underlying integration framework. However, for it to work in Cloud Integration, there is a Map of attachment wrapper objects, which must be cleared as well. This happens in the second line.

Have fun with CPI!

Just to add, to ensure proper functionality, please ensure the use of the following three APIs to delete/remove attachments. I faced some issue when I used only 2 mentioned above. With below code it should work fine. KBA for the same. https://me.sap.com/notes/0003240138 message.getAttachments().clear() message.getAttachmentObjectss().clear() message.getAttachmentWrapperObjects().clear()
