Doubt in File To File Scenario

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a doubt in File to File scenario.

Lets assume there are three systems where system'A' is sender, System 'B' is receiver and System 'XI' is the XI system. Now my aim is to transfer the file from system 'A' to system 'B' bys using system 'XI'. Now i have placed the file in system 'A' , and the required structures, mappings and configuration part is done. every thing is done in IR and ID and activated. But the file is not picking from the system 'A'. I have used file adapter for this at bothe sides, and i have taken transport protocal as NFS. What protocal i have to take whether NFS or FTP, if i need to use FTP what should i do , whether do i need to take any special permissions for FTP, what parameters i have to give for FTP . Kindly suggest.

Thanks in advance.

Hi prem

<i>What protocal i have to take whether NFS or FTP</i>

if you want to store/transfer your file to XI server then use NFS protocol

but if you want to locate your file to some other application server then use FTP protocol

For using FTP protocol you need to install FTP server, create user , password then you have to specify this username and password in the communication channel under anonymous login option

Hope this helps

if u want to transfer files using network protocol then take NFS

>>if i need to use FTP what should i do ,

select FTP as ur transfer protocol

>>whether do i need to take any special permissions for FTP, what parameters i have to give for FTP .

u need to take FTP server ip address, username, password.

Hi prem,

Hi ,

NFS is fine no need to use FTP . Also check the path you specified for input file in your sender adapter and make sure that from Xi server that folder is accessible .

for more details on file to file refer following blogs .

Suvarna,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion, but how i can check whether the input file in my sender system is accessible from XI system. Is there any thing to do in XI server to check.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ,

Go to Adapter monitoring and check your sender communication channel what error it gives ??

Also make sure the path you specify in your sender communication channel starts with
and the first you specify the mapped drive name followed by actual path .

Also in the sender folder right click on your input file and make sure it is not read only .

Thanks ,

check with ur admin or basis. they can help u to provide u an ftp location in xi box. normally u can ping to that ftp location from ur desktop using "
<ip.address>" if u can access from desktop u can also get it done from CC of file adapter if also the connectivity parameters are set right.

hi prem,

on xi server (run-->
<xi server ip>) either place place the file directly and jus give "/" in src dir or create a folder and give "/<foldername>" in src dir. this is for NFS.

also a few checks.

1. make sure file name is correct.

2. check status of ur CC in adapter monitoring

3. make sure CC is Active (Status --> Active at the bottom)

4. check status of message in MONI
