HTTPs sender adapter to pick file from a external HTTP file location

[Former Member]

HI gurus

Please see the problem here. I need know hoe to configure the Sender HTTP adapter.

My Scenario-

A Flat file (non-xml but structured) sitting on an external https enabled web server. I need XI to go out and get this file on a regular basis (which will then be processed laterby the business person)

Thanks

I do not think FTP adapter would be able to get the file. You might have write and adapter it self t get the file from https server. Or check if you can have the file be placed on an FTPs enabled server so that FTP adapter can be used.

Hi,

The FTP Adapter will do the job for you. Just create a File Communication Channel and change Transport Protocol to FTP. Since you mentioned that the file is non-xml, in the Message Protocol, choose, File Content Conversion.

FYI.. HTTP Sender adapter is not required to be configured because a HTTP request will directly come to the ABAP Engine
