Read File identified by filename from File Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi all,

is there any way to read a file (which is identified by a given name) by using the file adapter.

My scenario is the following:

Webservice -> PI -> File

I call PI via a Webservice. The webservice call contains the filename of the file that i'd like to receive as response. Is it possible to realize this scenario with PI - from my experience it is not possible. But i would appreciate if you have some alternative solutions for me.

not possible

The webservice call contains the filename of the file that i'd like to receive as response

By this if you mean that the sender side payload contains the filename, then you may very well create a UDF and use the DynamicConfiguration.

That doesn't solve my problem.

As i described, i have a webservice which makes a synch call (containing the file name) to PI.

PI should then read(and not create!!!) the file with the given name and return the content of the file to the sender (WS).

Hi Martin,

you can't achieve required functionality by standard File adapter; you need to write adapter module to achieve it.

SAP says

If you are developing a module for the sender file/FTP adapter and want to access the file name, see SAP Note 819761

below is the link for Adapter module generation which might help.

Hi,

You can use variable substitution option in the receiver file adapter.
