A Challenging scenario to synchronize a directory of FTP server

[Former Member]

Hi,

I got a peculiar and a challenging requirement. We need to read any file of any format from FTP and send it to the receiver in HTTPS or SMTP format.

Here there is no need of bothering what data contains or what type of message structure it could be? Basically we need to synchronize and send it to recipient.

Twist, here is we need a simplest possible solution.

Can any body help me out to provide me the best approach to crack this challenge?

Thanks & Regards,

Suraj,

Use Tunnelling...

For that do not create any IR objects...and no mappings also..

In ID just use any dummy interface name that does not even exists....

Himadri,

Tunelling is a concept specific to Idoc's where you tell whether the idoc has to be converted to XML or not in XI .

In this case, like you pointed out correctly there is no need for Integration Resposiotry content , but, this is not technically Tunneling!

Suraj,

Quite simple! You do not even need Integration Respository content. All you will need is integration directory contet.

Please look into this blog to understand what needs to be done. The only change will be that the receiver will be a HTTP adapter or a Mail adapter.
