IDOC <---> XI <--> HTTP (via a flat file structure, not XML)

[Former Member]

I am working on a senario in which we need to send a third party payroll service provider our HR Master Data records (Message type HROT_UM). The manual method is to create a flat file from an IDOC and place the file in a shared directory, then upload the flat file by logging on to the web server. We would like to automate this process using XI.

Is it possible to send a flat file structure to a webserver using a HTTP receiver adapter? If not, can you provide a basic view of how to accomplish this task. Please note that FTP is not an option for us.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

i think it might be possible to send flatfile over http adapter coz the http adapter supports in sending data in xml format (payload) and not as an entire file.
