How to do best handling binary files in PI/XI?

[markus_schalk]

Hallo experts ,

i have got following scenario:

Sender: Should be a web service client using soap!

Receiver: Should be a abap proxy in erp (version 701)

No need for a mapping at the moment, as both sides use the same structure!

Message: Should contain textual information as well as binary data (pdf-files for example)

So my question is, what is the best way to implement this scenario? Does anyone know a good tutorial/howto for this matt

Thanks in advance for you help!

Kind regards,

Markus

Hello,

Both SOAP adapter and ABAP Proxies support attachments. So as long as you do not need to read the attachment inside XI you should be OK.

FYI - From PI 7.1 you can also read the attachment in XI mapping but considering that this is a binary content - you will have to use a Java Map etc to handle the content. In your case this might not be needed.

Make sure you select options keep attachments in the Sender SOAP Adapter.

Hi,

use java mapping to encode the binary file.
