Downloading a flat file from a website (https://www.fesdxxxxxx...)

Former Member

Hi Experts,

Need help on a scenario to be developed for downloading a flat file from a website to SAP directories(available from AL11). In the website url, we manuallly provide a current date as input to get the flat file. This process needs to be automated with the help of SAP PI downloading the file from website.

The Source side, dont have visibility for going through SOAP/WSDL .SOAP to NFS?

Is there any way to develop the scenario? Or can we propose the client with alternatives.what are those alternatives?

FTPS to NFS?

Thanks and regards

Pradeep

Just to add, needed it to be a pas through scenario through PI, just providing a new filename to the downloaded file.

Hi Pradeep - If the sender is not a web service, have a look at the below blog and see if you can make use of it.

And the alternatives would be either FTPS/SFTP(i assume it is an external system) to NFS which can be a pass through scenario..

It says using Axis soap adapter to pull the file.
