Get additional file attachements with file adapter

[LeonBoeijen]

Hello,

Has anyone ever had the following situation:

A Sender interface sends a little bit of data to XI.

This data contains the filenames of some files on a FTP server.

Based on these filename the file needs to be retreived from a FTP server and further handled as an attachement of the XI message?

Is it possible to trigger a sender file adapter with a variable directory and filename from XI, in a BPM or Mapping?

Warm Regards,

Leon Boeijen

hi,

>>>>Is it possible to trigger a sender file adapter with a variable directory and filename from XI, in a BPM or Mapping?

no it's not possible to start a file adapter from BPM

you can use a java proxy that will do the trick

we've used a solution like this many times with no big issues

remember that it's better to use an async java proxy

(with correlation) then a sync one...

java proxy will also allow you to put the message

in the attachemnt in one place as java proxies support attachments
