How to add attachment as zip using mail adapter in SAP CPI

[former_member641164]

I am trying to send file in attachment as zip in CPI using mail adapter. I can only able to send attachment as text file.

Anyone who has built similar scenario for single file attachment or multiple files in attachment as zip?

Hi Subhojit,

The answer given by sriprasad is already correct.

If your concern is regarding the extension of the zip attachment, I tried this with gmail, yahoo, outlook almost all the email servers guidelines think of .zip, .jar and many more archives as potential threat so the email delivery fails.

What is best you could do is choose some dummy attachment like .123 and send email, download and rename as .zip. Here is screen shot

Hi Sriprasad,

I am able to add attachment and the adapter is sending the attachment in mail. However, I am not getting the extension of the attachment as .zip.

it is giving extension as file, and when, I open the attachment in text, it is open as text file.

Thanks,

Subhojit

Hello Subhojit,

Could you please share the screenshot of the mail channel and also have you selected mime type as zip as highlighted above.

Please find the screenshot below.

it is common for the all type of attachments. Once you download the attachment, there will be no extension.

for text/xml, the browser can handle it and hence, we can see the content in the browser. However, for zip, it is not so.
