Hi,

I need to download pdf-files from a elink. I receive the elinks in a syncronous SOAP call, will download the files to a local server for furter processing. The links and Ppdf's is provided be an external company, an their server. The file download is via http (elink).

Can PI download elinks via http ? Which adapter is the right one to use, and how should it be configured ?

Please let me know i PI can't download elinks. Then i will need to change strategy for the downloads.

Thank you and best regards

Jens

As per your explanation what I understood is :

SOAP (Synchronous)--> XI -> (PDFFiles @ WebServer) (Synchronous)-> XI --> PDF to File System

Is my understanding correct?

I get a list of elinks (paths/urls) as a response to my SOAP call.

After that i need to download the files, the elinks is pointing to. Either in the same process or in an other process.

hi,

>>Please let me know i PI can't download elinks. Then i will need to change strategy for the downloads.

there is no standard adapter that can do that in XI

but with a java proxy it can be done in a matter of minutes/hours

so try java proxy approach
