How to use File Adapter to transport files

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can i use File Adapter Additional Files settings to Transfer files from one system to other without conversion?

File Adapter's Additional Files documentation says "additional attachments require a receiver that can process them". In my case receiver is also

File Adapter.

Please let me know if there is any other way to achive this.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Jayant -

Why send them as attachments in this scenario? You can still specify multiple filenames or source directories using Advanced Selection of source file. This is still just one outbound and inbound interface.

Hi Jin,

Scenario is like this: Legacy --> R/3

Legacy generates IN_ORDERxx.TXT and ORDERxxx.PDF files and R/3 needs OUT_ORDERxx.txt and also it needs ORDERxxx.PDF in same directory on R/3 side as OUT_ORDERxx.txt

I would like to know if attachments can just transfer files between systems.

Thanks

Hi Jayant,

If it is just to move the files, you don't need XI for that. Write a simple FTP Script to move the files.

Hi Jayant -

Here is the link to the documentation related to this:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3c/b4a6490a08cd41a8c91759c3d2f401/content.htm

Notice in "Rules for Additional Files":

"Messages with additional attachments require a receiver that can process them."

Currently, the receiver file adapter does not support the processing of attachments.
