Unix or Shell scripts to pick or change files in SAP PI

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can someone provide me some documents on how to encrypt/decrypt files using Unix/Shell scripts.

i.e. A file will be placed in a file server. Before picking the file it should be encrypted and placed in local XI server. Then the encrypted file needs to be sent to the receiver. Similar approach for decrytion.

Also how to zip and unzip huge size files using Unix/Shell scripts.

Where do we place these files w.r.t XI.

Please provide some threads/documents if available.

Thanks,

Shaibayan

Hi Shaibayan,

Why to use unix shell scripts if you can use java mapping or standard PI modules to do it?

Hi Inaki,

Thanks for your reply. I am trying to learn Unix/Shell Scripting w.r.t SAP PI and hence trying to achieve the same using Unix.

Thanks.

Hi Shaibayan,

The UNIX encryption depends about your UNIX distribution, i think you should ask to UNIX forum. Check these:

Encrypt and decrypt a string | Unix Linux Forums | Shell Programming and Scripting
