XI Tunneling - File to File scenario - BIG Files

[Former Member]

We have a big size file that we are going to drop using XI.

I have read that we can do tunnelling in XI to improve the performance since we do not have any mappings in XI.

How does this work? Please suggest....

Hi,

tunelling works for IDOCs, have a look at my weblog:

/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/21/xi-idoc-to-idoc-tunneling--how-fast-and-easy-can-you-get

you can set a separate queue for big messages

but the best way would be to cut the message

into many smaller (like already suggested) it this is possible

I cannot split the file into multiple files. Our files can go upto 150 MB.

Do I have any other option without spliting the file? How exactly can tunneling help in this case?

What other option do I have as the File is created in SAP and needs to go another UNIX server to be processed?

I initially thought I can use XI to transfer it but now is causes big overhead due to File Adapter being very slow.

Hi,

Yes definitely that will help. We have tried posting file of about 120 MB for file to file scenario, it worked.

Other solution is break the file in smaller chunks using shell script and post it after that.

Do let us know your observation also.

Thanks,
