PDF File -> local PI -> central PI -> ECC

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement like local PI (7.1) has to pick a PDF file (eg. invoice) from the folder and validate it and send it to the central PI, then central PI will validate and send it to ECC system.

Here my part is to connect the file folder with local PI and local PI with central PI. From there central PI guy will take care to send the datas to ECC system, since i dont have access to central PI and ECC system.

Kindly help me out whether PDF file picking, content conversion, mapping can be done using PI 7.1 and send the data's to the central PI.

Request you to suggest the steps to proceed further.

Thanks and Regards,

Vinoth

Hi,

I don't think current PI/PO functionality does not support PDF file content conversion. However you can transport the PDF file if you set File processing mode as "Binary".

However you can develop adapter modules to convert the PDF files to PI-XML format.
