How can I change the filename in Content-Disposition and Content-Type parameters of AS2 header? One of our partners need filename to be sent like this. I am using Payload Content Type to send the filename through “name” attribute. Any Thoughts?? RK ---

Are you trying to replace the auto generated Message-ID in the AS2 header, with the filename, which you construct from certain values in payload? ---

Try these 1. Copy EDIINT.send service and rename it 2. Expand the service and add a Map step as shown in the Attachment Regards, Suresh Palanisamy [customise\_EDIINTMessageID.doc](https://techcommunity.softwareag.com/uploads/short-url/r7GYeS6qo0CDFnB2ysz1ha3PsaP.doc) (49 KB) ---

You mean inside the payload content (somewhere before actual data begins) ? what is the Content-type you are trying to send edi-x12 or XML?? HTH, RMG ---

hi, it’s XML. What I actually need is to set the filename, I saw a case where it’s done in the payload Content-Disposition and Content-Type. ---

No i don’t think its a good idea to use those standard routing fields for this purpose. Why don’t you create/embed a tag inside the XML structure itself assuming its a custom XML and not a eStandards based (CIDX,PIP,cXML…)? HTH, RMG ---

Hi Rmg, I have a similar requirement where I need to send an XML with a filename. The TP wants to see the XML placed with that filename Not filename inside the xml content. Can this be done in Content-disposition? Thanks, David. ---

No. But I heard using with IS/EDI 8.2.x version there is an easy way to send filename in the AS2 setting in the Content-type param: HTH, RMG ---

Content-disposition is the right spot to specify a filename. Figuring out how to set it I suppose is the tricky part. ---

Bottom line there is no easy way in the disposition and yes tricky part as the EDI module default uses it internally putting mime 😕 ---

Setting of filename in content-disposition did not work in my case. The TP do not see the file land in their location with that filename. How can we achieve sending a filename and storing it with that name on TP side. ---

You won’t be able to specify a complete pathname. Only a filename. The TP will need to have logic on their side to use the filename in the content-disposition and then write to whereever they want it written. ---

David, Are you able to success atleast just filename in the disposition as Rob mentioned above? To me it sounds no luck: ---

Hi Reamon, Finally, It got working. I made the content-type = application/XML; name=filename.xml and content-disposition= attachment; filename=filename.xml. I do not know what exactly made it appear on their side. ---

I’m not sure “name” is standard attribute of content-type, but filename is definitely a defined attribute for content-disposition. If you want to know for sure which made it work, try with just one and then just the other. ---

I do not know what exactly made it appear on their side. Great: What version of IS/EDI Module are you using? I know they added this setting/feature starting IS 8.x can be embed in the Content-Type section which I have mentioned earlier in comments: But wondering how the TP will extract that part from disposition?

Dear RMG, I am using IS 8.2 version and want to pass Folder directory in file name by usind EDIINT/send service .I tried by passing below values:- content-type = application/XML; name=filename.xml and content-disposition= attachment; filename=a/b/c.xml But its not able to create mine data for that because not able to parse /. In our client requirement ‘a’ will be main folder and ‘b’ is sub folder and c is the actual xml file. Need your help to resolve that issue.
