The best solution to handle this type of requirement is Using JAVA proxy only,write logic to split the file 10mb only,becaus its not advisable to process more than 10mb files,even SAP say they tested with 1gb.

i had experiece the same in one yeay back,we resolved using JAVA proxy,how to split the file is just take number of lines or try to fine other way...

I wrote a FlatFile to ABAP Proxy call (transactions from 3rd Party retail system) that was for files twice a day for 25MB. PI and then onto ECC handled it perfectly and very fast. I thought that was big but not a match on 400MB. Good luck!

SAP's tested size is 1 GB, but in general cases, 100 megs size should be used. PI won't have problems handling these files, but the end-systems / Gateways might die down.

2)Bacause i have a Flat file of size 400 MB .once i activate the sender communication channel it gets struck ..pls let me know how can i handel this file of 400 MB .. ?   customer is looking for some method to handel this .. ?

Chunk the file into smaller sizes.

Check the possibilities of breaking in to smaller pieces of 100MB or 50MB. Should be good to handle in PI, assuming a good system configuration.
