FTP Server in server XI or FTP Adapter?

[Former Member]

Hi

My scenario is File->XI->RFC.

I want to know your opinion with respect to which of the two options is

better:

Option 1: Legacy system leaves the files in server XI. For this a ftp

server would have to be installed in server XI.

Option 2: To take the files through File Adapter with transport protocol

FTP.

I need to know yours opinion.

Best regards,

Sergio.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

The Legacy system is on the Mainframe and Server XI is on Windows 2003.

Hi,

<i><<<Option 1: Legacy system leaves the files in server XI. For this a ftp

server would have to be installed in server XI.</i>

I think this option will be good because, there is no need of any third party system required here. And one more thing.

<i><<Option 2: To take the files through File Adapter with transport protocol

FTP.</i>

In this case there will be chances of System Failure etc. So it should be tracked. And one more, is Security related issues may come into picture if FTP is running in different machine.

Hi Sergio,

If the file is on XI server then you can use file adapter with File System (NFS) protocol, which will also improve the performance.

Hi Sergio,

>>> For this a ftp

server would have to be installed in server XI.

but why do you need ftp if the system is legacy?

maybe you can do it without FTP (so faster)

if the legacy can put the file on the XI server

(shared folder )
