HTTP and Attachments

[Former Member]

We have send our PO PDF Attachments to the Supplier. (PO will goto them over the HTTP Adapter and the PDF image needs to be sent to them separately).

What Adapter I need to use for this purpose? Whether I have to go with HTTP Adapter itself?

Or should I need to depend on File or Mail Adapters?

Thanks.

I think you should use both http adpter and file adapter and BPM of XI.

After ur supplier received your PO via http and your PDF via FTP, following process can be continued.

obviously, plain http adapter can't meet your demand

Hi,

The easiest is to use the mail adapter.

Or, in a separted interface, you can send the PDF by itself (without any mapping, of course), from any adapter to any other adapter. Make sure the receiver can handle the raw PDF data.

William Thanks.

If I send my PO and PDF separately, then for the PDF can I use the HTTP Adapter?

Mohini, check my link above. You can't send a binary file using plain HTTP Adapter.

What's your supplier's system? Is it sap?

If it is, will their system create a sales order according to your PO infomation that you send to them via http adapter automatically?

If it is, then mail Adapter is not a good choice, and you should choose HTTPFTPBPM.

Hi,

You cannot use HTTP adapter for PDF. You need to use either File adapter or Mail adapter.

You see HTTP is for just transfering texts "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol" If you need to send files then File with FTP/NFS is ideal. But in certain case if there is no conectivity you can go for Mail adapter with PDF attachment.

You can use the same logic for PDF as well.
