Sending attachments like Word, Excel, PDF from SRM into XI

[Former Member]

hi,

how can we send attachments associated to a purchase order/shopping cart number in SRM to XI or how can we use XI to send attachments from SRM to a HTTP/HTTPS?

The attachments can be in Excel,Word, PDF etc format.

Thanks,

Tirumal

hi,

if you can use ABAP proxy protocol then you can very

easily send Excel,Word, PDF or any other file in the SOAP attachment of the XI message

have a look at my new weblog which describes it:

hi michal,

read your blog. its useful.

If receiver is HTTPS, can we send the attachments? How?

If receiver is SOAP, can we send the attachments? How?

Thanks,

Hi Thirumal,

If your Receiver is SOAP, you can write Java code inside the WeBservice to send the Attachment via Java Mail APIs.

Develop a Java Application, which reads xml data as business requirement, then use Java Mail APIs to send the attachment. Expose this application as a WevService and then invoke this from the XI thru SOAP Receiver Adapter.

Hope this helps,

Moorthy -

Say these attachments are in SRM and i have to retrieve this attachments from SRM and send it to an existing scenario IDOC -> XI -> HTTPS/SOAP receiver.

Will it be the same solution for both HTTPS and SOAP?

Also, if you have any docs/supporting links that would be helpful.

Let me know.

Thanks,

Tirumal
