Receiver File Adapter

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a scenario SAP>PI> FTP Folder. I would be receiving IDoc's(COSMAS) from SAP to PI, the requirement in PI is to create a single file(CSV) at the end of the day(say 8PM) for all the IDoc that PI has received through out the day.I am just picking 6 feilds from the IDoc to create the CSV file, so the file would have multiple rows based on the number of IDoc triggered from SAP.

I did an analysis, and I landed up with the following options,

1.BPM to collect all the IDoc till 8PM and process it to create a single CSV file. But this would run into performance issues if are collecting 1000's of IDoc.

2.Collecting all IDoc in a FIleSystem and process it as mentioned int the below blog,

3.Use IDoc Packing to reduce the load on PI to store the IDoc till 8PM, solution as mentioned in the below blog

Could you please suggest me which option would best suite the requirement.As we need to get this integration certified i by SAP ICC we need analyse in those lines too.

Thanks,

Venu

If you use PI 7.11 or PI 7.01, you should process all IDocs from R/3 at once on 8 pm, maybe in parts of 1000 IDocs each.

Use IDoc packaging and create the file in append mode to gather all parts.

Thanks for your reply!

Is there any a suggestion for a solution which is PI Version independent? The reason, this integration would be implemented for different customers where the customer might have different versions of PI.

Thanks,

go for Collecting all IDoc in a FIleSystem method........in this method just take the IDOC size into consideration while determining the number of IDOCs in a single file.......

Hi,

If u r using PI7.1EHP1, then u can use idoc packaging in sender IDOC adapter to collect IDOCs.......but if u r using PI7.0 without EHP1, then go for file system method........in this method just take the IDOC size into consideration while determining the number of IDOCs in a single file.......
