Flat File Transfer from SAP R/3 4.7 to SAP Business Connector 4.8

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement of transferring a flat file from my R/3 SAP 4.7 Box Application Server to the Business Connector 4.8 Box. I am new to SAP Business Connector and I am not to sure whether FTP works if I use a shell script in SAP R/3. Also, is there any way Business Connector Box can pull the file from R/3 Application Server and store the file in the Business Connector Server.

Any help will be appreciated!!!

Hi,

There are many ways thru which you can pass document to SAP BC:

You can HTTP, FTP, Email document to SAP BC.

SAP BC has predefined services for all of them.

For FTP document to SAP BC:

1 Initiate an FTP session on SAP BC Serveru2019s FTP listening port ( this can be found out from SAP BC administrator or from SAP BC homepage).

2 Point to the directory that contains the service to which you want to pass the XML

document.

Example cd \ns\Purchasing\SubmitOrder

3 Copy the XML document to this directory using the following command:

put XMLDoc.xml

Where XMLDoc.xml is the name of the file that you want to pass to SAP BC Server.

Example put PurchaseOrder.xml

Above code can be written in a batch file and you can schedule it to run at interval of minutes.

You can write java client program as well to upload file and map it to String variable of Flow service of SAP BC.

As Micheal said, you can look at sapbc/Developer/doc folder to look for more options.
