Urgent: SAP JCO vs FTP

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We have two servers(one SAP and another non-SAP) installed in our network(at two different locations). Our requirement is to upload data from a flat file(located in non SAP server) into SAP. For this, we thought of two options.

1. To use SAP JCo, installing it on non SAP server and connecting to SAP system through it and uploading the data by calling some function module using JAVA Program.

2. To use FTP transfer, transferring the file to SAP Server and uploading data from there.

Here, we have to consider the facts like performance, security, scheduling etc. As per my research I found that performance wise and security wise option2 is better than option1.

Would appreciate your inputs on this.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,

hi lee,

option 1 is better. Advantages are :-

E-mail Requirement:

- MAPI compatible email client (Outlook Express etc.)

- Standard SMTP e-mail server

- Exchange Server

- Outlook

- Lotus Notes

Security can be added to any PDF format. The different types of security are:

- 128 bit encryption

- Password

- Printing restrictions

- Copy restrictions

- Saving restrictions

- Editing restrictions

performance and scheduling also good so better you go with SAP JCO , its my opinion.

Thanks & Regards
