Hi Aman,

You can execute scripts in PI both before and after message processing.

Please read below links -

SAP XI File Adapter OS Command Line Feature - Process Integration - SCN Wiki

OS command works differently on both SFTP and File adapter.

Hi Aman

You need to create a script and place it anywhere on your SAP  PI server.

In the channel you can write the command to execute the script and threre only you can pass the values to the script.

For ex: sh /<your script path>/<script name> <value1> <value2>

The above command you can give in the operating command tab.

thanks somil , however my script need to replace values and give it to PI then PI will do FCC and process, so as my case just write the command to execute the script .correct no need of parameters passing.

Hi Aman,

You can write the script in any file and place it in any folder on your SAP PI server and you can call it via the OS command box from the sender channel.

Thanks
