Read application server files using PI File NFS

Hi All,

I have a requirement to read BI Application server files. How do we use PI file adapter NFS to read other system application server files provided all the systems are in the same landscape

Please let me know

I tried using FTP but did fail for port 21 -> no server port found

what would be the configuration parameters for the sender adapter for FTP in this case?

The user should have access to os level or something also?

Please let me know

Enable NFS. Then simple. Use file adapter to pick a file from one system to another system. If you want to ftp a file then use message protocol as ftp in the file adapter to move the files. You can also create script for ftp commands and reference the script in the file communication channel. Also you can call os commands in the communication channel to move files.

Hi Michael,

Make those folders shared from PI Server with NFS mounts and then you can directly pick them using PI File Adapter. Else you can do FTP to BI server also.

Thanks for your replies.

Can you please elaborate the NFS mount to share the files between servers. I have to explain to BASIS this step.

Please elaborate the FTP option also. I don't prefer FTP since there is an issue with SFTP but will explore this also

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Ask them to share the folders on BI and get them mounted as NFS in PI. They will understand that.
