XI to Batch Command Scenario

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My scenario is SAP to XI to Batch Command.

The receiver system is a listening port system where it receives data at the port. Currently XI is not the middleware. So the communication happens through EXE. It happens as follows:

1. exe sends a wake up call to Batch Command.

2. Command Batch sends an acknowledgement to exe that it is ready to receive data

3. Now exe sends data to CB.

4. CB sends Ack for data

5. exe sends a sleep call to CB to close connection

6. Cb sends Ack back to exe.

Now exe has to be replaced with XI , so is this set of Communication possible through XI in the same scenario? If yes , then How.

If no what can be the solution.

Also will the Standard adapters in XI serve the purpose for Command Batch since it is not any File system , but it receives data at the port or will Custom adapter will have to be developed for this purpose.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards,

Loveena.

That sounds like a proprietary TCP/IP handshake.

There is no way besides own development of Java code.

You could develop an adapter or a Java proxy for this purpose.

The better option is, replcing the batch command with an HTTP or Webservice enabled program and use standard PI functionality.
