upload flat file to XI(New to XI)

Procedure to upload the flatfile data to XI. If any one knows please let me know.

[bhavesh_kantilal]

To load a FLAT file into XI, you will have to create a folder/location on your XI server where

the file can be put. You will have to configure a sender file adapter, that will pick up the file

from the corresponding location.

To see how to configure a file adapter, check the following link,

If your file is an XML file, then no content conversion is needed. If the file is not

an XML file, content conversion has to be performed on the sender file adapter. Check

these links for content conversion,
