Flatfile from sFTP to ABAP Proxy as attachment

[jakob_steen-petersen]

Hi

I need to pick up a flat file from sFTP server and parse it to an ABAP Proxy as a attachment. But how can i parse the Payload of the message to the Proxy call?

Hi Jakob,

You can use the java mapping which i provided in this thread

Hi Jakob

Because you have only 1 file per message, you do not need the additional files setting. Just pick the file normally.

Instead, you will need a custom Java mapping to parse the file content and generate an attachment for the message. Because proxy interfaces expects the main payload in XML format, you can define a dummy structure for the service interface and populate it in the Java mapping. There is an example code by Raghu in the following thread.

Hi Jakob,

You can read the file as additional files to deal them as attachaments (Configuring the SFTP Sender Channel - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration, secure connectivity add-on ...)

In the inbound proxy you should work with the attachment in the ABAP code. These links could be helpful:

Protocols - Enabling Application-to-Application Processes - SAP Library

Attachments - Enabling Application-to-Application Processes - SAP Library

Hi

But isn´t the "Additional files" used to get more files with same or mostly same name? If i i.ex. have only one file - how should i configure?

Hello Jakob.

If you have one file configure one.

If you have multiple give all the file name and enable the optional file option to yes like below

Hi

Sorry i don´t get it: i can have one file i can have 42 - i dont know. I need to get all files in a certain directory on the sFTP server and then pass them as 1 message per file with the file as an attachment.

At the moment when i pull the directory PO will read each file an place the content in the payload of one message per file. But i need it as an attachment instead.
