Sending mail as acknowledgement of SFTP file transfer

Former Member

Dear Experts,

We are faced in a scenario in which we have to transfer a few files daily to out B2B partner. We are also required to develop as part of this scenario, some method to send an e-mail in acknowledgement of this transfer. We are using two PI servers, Inner PI and Outer PI server.

The scenario at present is as follows:

The files are transferred from ECC to our Outer PI server via SFTP. From here, the files are sent to our B2B partner's sever using SFTP. The acknowledgement e-mail is required to be sent at this point, citing the count of the files which have been transferred.

The problems we are facing here are as follows:

1) Since this is simply a file transfer scenario, a dummy interface is being used. As a result, e-mail can't be sent by using data types and message mapping.

2) Since SFTP is prohibited in the reverse manner; ie; from Outer PI server to ECC, it is not possible to send an e-mail directly from Gateway using Mail adapter.

Kindly help us out if anyone has faced the same problem or if you have any information regarding this.

Regards,

Pritish

Hi Pritish,

you can use the request response bean in SFTP adapter and send the email response. Please refer the below wiki
