Query:MD5/Base64 encoding

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am working on scenario in which SAP R/3 system is sending a <b>file(encoded in Base64)</b> to XI. In XI we have to decode it and send it to a third party systems.

My queries on this scenario:

1.How does a Base64 encoding format works in SAP systems?

2.How to encode the data into Base64 format from R/3 system(using ABAP)?

3.Do we use any keys to encode the data into Base64 format?

4.How to decode the base64 data in XI?

Regards,

Rakesh.

Rakesh,

The binary file is read by the module ‘ReadFileBean’ and converts the binary data into Base64. This module reads the filename directly form the Sender Channel. Both these are put into the tags and passed into the AFW. The complete procedure is given in this weblog:
