Integrating Webmethods with SAP PI

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a situation, our Vendor who uses Webmethods as a middle ware is unable to send a flat file using FTP/SFTP/FTPS .

They have their own restrictions.

Interface flow : Webmethods will send a file -> SAP PI needs to pick it up and send it to a NFS ( File share ) inside our network.

Kindly, suggest alternative ways for source to send the file except to FTP/SFTP/FTPS.

Thanks

Hello Rama,

If feasible tell the Webmethods team to send via Soap call to SAP PI.

Webmethod -----------------Soap--------------->PI------------->NFS File.

Thanks Raghu,

Is it ok, if they send the file as an attachment.

Since I am using File adapter ( NFS ) at the receiver side, would be ok to get the file as an attachment.

Thanks

Hi Rama

If WebMethods sends the file as an attachment in the SOAP message, you will need to use PayloadSwapBean to swap the attachment into the main payload to deliver it via a File/NFS adapter. This is because File/NFS adapter do not support attachments at the receiver side.
