Former Member

Hi

I would like to use the XI for transferring files from 2 systems, both of them have a FTP server installed, they don't share the same file system with the XI, I would like to have the following scenario :

1. Application A create a data file.

2. Application A flag the XI that the file is waiting.

3. The XI get the file using FTP.

4. All the relevant mapping is done at the XI.

5. The XI put the file at Server B.

6. The XI flag Application B that the file is waiting.

7. Application B load the data file.

does the FTP Adapter have the required abilities ?

Can someone guide me what to do at the XI for the above scenario ?

Happy holiday ,

Yaki

Hi,

You are using XI just to transfer files b/n 2 systems and u dont need of any mapping requirements in XI as u r just transferring files via XI.

So XI will act as FTP server.

have a look at this blog:

<a href="/people/shabarish.vijayakumar/blog/2006/04/03/xi-in-the-role-of-a-ftp">XI in the role of FTP.</a>

U can do the same without using integration repository.

Please refer this link:

<a href="/people/william.li/blog/2006/09/08/how-to-send-any-data-even-binary-through-xi-without-using-the-integration-repository to send any data (even binary) through XI, without using the Integration Repository</a>

Hope u got it.

Cheers,

Prasanthi.
