Sending Email after generating Files

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

My requirement is very specific , I am using PI 7.0 and the scenario is outbound proxy to file.

I am required to generate some files from the incoming XML structure and place them on a destination folder.

But it is also required that there must be an email sent to a set of id's as soon as the files are created , I have three questions :

a) What is the mechanism by which SAP XI can get an acknowledgement back from the folder after the file creation to send an email ?? Is it possible to receive an acknowldgement in this scenario and send email via mail adapter

b) Should SAP XI send an acknowledgement back to SAP after generating files or after the File receiver Adapter bean is excuted for SAP to send the email ?

c) Do i have to use BPM essentialy for this ? and if yes .. can you please forward some links specific to this scenario , i have never done BPM

thanks

Use BPM. For the send step request Transport acknowledgement.

Catch this acknowledgement and accordingly throw alert, which will send the email.
