splitting large file in XI

[Former Member]

can we split the incoming file in XI, we are getting a large file of size 80MB , wanted to cut down to 40MB each

Sender system is sending 80MB file at single shot, they cannot change it.

It has become mandatory for me to break it in XI. (scenario is File to Proxy)

Hi Viswanath,

Handling large files say anything above 100MB is always a problem with File adapter as the data has to be moved from Adapter Engine integration Engine and vice versa.

Third party tools are generally used for that. Conversion Agent by Itemfield is one of the best approaches.

Also, on the Advanced tab of the file sender adapter, select the check box next to Advanced Mode. There you can specify Maximum File Size (Bytes) option.

Thanks for both of your responses.

If my file is coming with header and body, if we split in Adpater, then how will recognize the next 40MB.

First 40MB file will have header and records, it will not have any problem. what happens to next 40MB.

Souece system sends 80MB at once. they cannot give 2 files.

Hi,

First extract the main application data including tags then add the header data for each 40 MB split. You can achieve this using java mapping or ABAP mapping.

Thanks,

Hi,

If the file is involved in content conversion means you can split the file size in the content conversion

by the field Recordsets per message="xx"

You can also ZIP the file and send it to XI
