HTTPS To Retrieve Data

Former Member
0 Kudos

I have a request to use HTTPS to access a url and "pull" data into our XI instance. I have used HTTP to "push" data to a client url but not to "pull" data. Is this possible and if possible, can a schedule be included in the communication channel to access the client site at a set time period. The client is requesting that we use HTTPS and not FTP.

If you have a specific location from where you can download xml file e.g. http://abc.xml then you may use HTTP receiver adapter to access content of that location. Scheduling at receiver adapter is not possible. Either schedule sender side interface or you may create a dummy file sender interface which could be schedule. There won't be any mapping in case of this dummy interface and HTTP receiver adapter will be triggered as required.

yes it is possible via the http adapter but scheduling might get tricky.

I suggest you move to the soap adapter and use the option do not use soap envelop to simulate an HTTP payload. Also using the adapter scheduling you can schedule for the adpater to poll only during specific time.
