How to find the user that XI uses in proxy to File scenario?

[gopalkrishna_baliga]

Hi Experts,

I have a scenario as shown below:

SAP CRM R/3 -

---

ABAP Proxy------> PI -

---

> File -

---

>Shared File Folder

I want to give read/write access to the Shared File Folder but do not know which user does XI use?

How to find the user name that XI uses internally to send the file out?

My guess is that it should be some system user. In which table will this user details be maintained?

I don't think it will be there in USR01 table.

Please help.

Thanks

Gopal

This depends on your OS - go through the thread below it may help :

Hi Gopal,

Do you have access to the shared folder ? Locate that folder using any FTP client.

Run your interface, then check for the file at the folder location in FTP Client.

You must be able to see the Owner/Gruop name against the created file.

Hi Chirag/Jyoti,

I think you are not getting what I am looking for.

In my scenario XI is creating file and putting into the shared path.

So in order to allow XI to write file to the shared folder there should be some XI user right?

XI should be using some user internally to do this file operation.

What is this user? How to find that?

Once I get this user name then I can tell the shared folder owner to allow access to this user.

Thanks

In this case XI is being used as service user. SO create user in OS as the above thread explained For unix SYSID+ADM. And provide permission 777 (Read, Write and Execute). Talk to Basis.

U will be using the FTP user for putting the file in FTP folder. Ask your target system FTP owner about the user. he will give sufficient rights.
