Advice on Binary File to RFC scenario

[Former Member]

I need to send contents of a binary file into an RFC which can accept unbound rows of 1024 bytes of data.

I will also send filename to the RFC which I'll pull from ASMA.

I have a simple data type set up with XSD type base64Binary and string field for the file name. Initial try through integration engine is unsuccessful because I think PI wants to see the payload parsed as XML and it is the pure binary, unchanged by the file adapter. (e.g. "Content is not allowed in prolog")

I've found an example of how to do this via Java mapping, but I've never used that before. Is it required or is there a way to get this done with simple message mapping?

I used this helpful Wiki article to help me get this Java map going. Thanks for the help everyone.

You need Java mapping. No way to handle through message mapping.

How about using custom adapter module?

Thank you Baskar, I will try my first Java mapping then.

Do you have any basic advice for the foundation steps to make sure the environment is set up for this?

Hi XinJiang,

Maybe this is possible but I don't have enough knowledge about how to write these. Do you have any specific advice?

Thank you,

Aaron

java mapping is the easiest option you have in this case.
