File Adapter

[agasthuri_doss]

Dear Friends,

Kindly share your experience,

To configure File adapter, what all I needed the information. and how should I configure it in the client side (Tibico side ) .

Scenerio - Tibico --> SAP XI --> R/3( Inbound )

Thanks for your valuable time,

Thanks & Regards

You don't need to do anything on the client side other than create the file and sit it in a directory that XI can read from. Then you can set up XI to ftp pull the file and process it.

Here are two example blogs:

I am assuming that your trying to do a File -> XI -> IDoc Scenario while providng the following solution.....

I thought i will give you some more additional information which will help you complete this Scenario without any problem...

These are steps to follow:

STEPS IN DESIGN

1. Import idoc from the SAP System (SAP02) through imported objects.

2. Create Data Type, Message Type, Message Interface for the Outbound File.

3. Create Message Mapping with file Message and idoc (Matmas04)

5.Create Interface mapping between File Interface and the idoc.

Steps to be followed in Creation of Technical and Business System

Technical System

In SLD, click on technical landscape->New Technical System->WebAS ABAP.

Business System.

1.Goto Business Landscape->New Business System->Name the business system.

2. Choose the technical system that needs to be attached->WebAS ABAP->Technical System Name.

Preconfiguration steps for transfer of data to IDOCS

1.Create a RFC Destination in SM59 of XI Server of type.

2.In transaction IDX1 ,create a port for the client of XI server.

3. The port has to be displayed in the idx2 transaction and we should be able to view the idoc’s which we imported through integration repository.

Steps in Configuration

1. Goto service without party, right click->Assign a business system.

2. Choose the business system to be added.

3. Create a File Sender Service with communication channel for the same.

4. Create an idoc receiver channel under the business system. Mention the RFC Destination and the port created for the same.

5. Mention the logical Name in the Service->Adapter Specific Parameters of both the File Sender Service as well as the business system.

6. Make the Sender Agreement for theFile Sender with communication channel.

7.Create the Receiver Determination and Interface Determination for the business system.

8.Create the Receiver Agreement for the Business system.

TCODES for File>XI>IDoc

SM59-rfc destination on recving side

IDX1-port on recving side

IDX2-load metadata

Bus. service adapter specific Identifiers-->Logical sys name (check this blog:/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/03/29/xi-error--unable-to-convert-the-sender-service-to-an-ale-logical-system )

and also go thru this blog on

and also these links:

In R/3 Side, Partner profiles should be created.

Have a look into this document for the same...

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/877c0d53-0801-0010-3bb0-e38...

And also since the Blog on File to Idoc looks quite complecated... I thought of giving you more info...

You can take a look at this document.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/cdded790-0201-0010-6db8-beb...

It is IDOC to IDOC.All you will have to do is ignore the first half of it.

Also, create an XSD of your IDOC , import it as an external definition and use it as the data type for the file.

Apart from that other details like SLD , R3 config etc you can look into the document and the info i have given.

I am sure your comfortable by now with the file adapter config... If not, just go through this thread and see the detailed explanation i have given on the same..

I am hope this helps you.....
