Post file over Http

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on EDI scenario in which EDI partner has given one HTTP site address with user name and password. I will have to put EDI file at that site using http/soap adaptors at receiver end.

One thing I know for sure that I can not use File channel at reveiver side as there is no FTP available. Now Can anybody please let me know how to generate file using http connection?

I have absolutely no idea how to use http and soap adaptors so if any links to the blogs will also be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Atul,

If you want to generate the EDI file over HTTP connection then you should use Seeburger's AS2 adapter.

This adapter is used to convert the XML format generated by PI into EDI format accepted by various EDI Business Partners.

The username and password provided by the EDI partner is not enough to setup the configurations in PI to generate the EDI file over HTTP connection. You have to exchange the certificates to encrypt or dcrypt the files with your partner.

For using the AS2 adapter, the deployment of various SDA files on the PI adpater framework is also required. Please confirm with your basis team , if it is already there in place. This is required for the various modules used in the AS2 adapter to convert the XML format into EDI format.

Thank you!

Hi Atul,

>which EDI partner has given one HTTP site address with user name and password

If the EDI Partner is outside your network and for you to generate the edi file you need to have the seeburger adapters. For sending this to a location you can use the AS2 adapter and send across.

WIth out an edi adapter you will be not in a position to generate the edi file.

Hey

You want to send File as an attachment or just a simple payload?

if it is just as payload,then you can simply configure receiver SOAP/HTTP adapter and post files there.

If it has to done as attachment then you need to use some modules.

Hi Aamir,

Thanks for your reply.

I just want to generate a file at given location. I am confused what is the difference in data sent as a payload or as attachment?

As you said in case of attachement we need to use some modules(Looks bit difficult ) I would perhaps like to generate file by using Payload .

Can you suggest some blog for the same?

Thanks and Regards,

Hey

First of all you need to decide which adapter you want to use,then configure that receiver adapter.

It will be very much similar to a File to File scenario,only difference is that you will have SOAP or HTTP on receiver side.

For Receiver SOAP you can have a look at the below blog

For Receiver HTTP,please follow the below

Pl:I m assuming this will be a async scenario.if you want to design a sync scenario your approach will be different.
